Abstract: A server system that includes a host device initiates an encrypted decision tree model executing on an accelerator coupled with the host device. The encrypted decision tree model encrypted uses an agreed upon encryption schema between the host device and a user device accessing the encrypted decision tree model. The host device receives an input, from the user device, to be evaluated using the encrypted decision tree model. The input is encrypted using the agreed upon encryption schema. The host device using the encrypted decision tree model evaluates the input from the user device without decrypting the input. The accelerator using the encrypted decision tree model generates an encrypted output based on the evaluating. The accelerator device provides the encrypted output to the user device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for synchronizing and controlling concurrent transmission-based multi-radio devices to support higher throughput or higher reliability communications in a synchronous flooding mesh network. A host device in a wireless communication network can include multiple radio devices, with each radio device part of a concurrent transmission (CT)-based flooding network configured to concurrently transmit data to one or more corresponding receiving radios with corresponding radio nodes of other devices in the wireless communication network. Data packets can either be fragmented via a packet fragmentation process or replicated via a packet replication process to prioritize either throughput or redundancy for data transmission. The host devices in the network can synchronize a time for transmitting data and distributing any of a set of orthogonal radio frequency channels for each CT flooding network in transmitting data.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods of producing superhydrophobic carbon nanotube sheets. The methods disclosed herein allow the rapid and scalable production of superhydrophobic carbon nanotube sheets that may remain on a substrate, or they may be removed from the substrate to produce freestanding superhydrophobic carbon nanotube sheets. The carbon nanotube sheets produced by the present methods were confirmed to be superhydrophobic by water droplet contact angle.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for using full waveform inversion for imaging surveyed mediums are provided. The full waveform inversion uses a Sifrian functional to fully leverage Hessian information and update a model by augmenting and assembling data derived from the Sifrian functional when equilibrated. The Sifrian inversion produces high resolution images of the surveyed medium typically only seen with full Hessian inversions and can produce such images without requiring supercomputer computation power or extremely long computation time.

Abstract: A metal additive manufacturing machine includes a housing, a torch at least partially disposed within the housing, a media, a material, a sensor, and a control system. The media is granular and substantially similar to the material such that it can initiate and maintain an arc, if necessary, and be incorporated into the component. The media forms a flat or topographically featured structure. The material is positioned such that it is melted by the torch and forms a layer of material onto the media. The sensor is configured to measure a first data, where the first data is a distance between the torch and a layer of material. The control system is operably coupled to the sensor and configured to receive the first data and compare the first data to a first data threshold. The control system sends a command to move the torch in a z-direction.
