Abstract: Foams and methods of fabricating and using the same are provided. The foams can be three-dimensional (3D), free-standing, and/or rigid and can be used as, for example, nanofiller networks. The shape and size of the foam pore interconnected network can be tailorable/tailored. The foams can be, for example, hybrid one-dimensional (1D)/two-dimensional (2D) foams of 1D and 2D materials (e.g., hybrid boron nitride nanotube (BNNT)/boron nitride nanoplatelet (BNNP) foams). A freeze-drying-based method can be used to fabricate bulk porous foam, which can be used for, e.g., nanofiller for polymer nanocomposites.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for a distributed autonomous patching system. During patching of a cloud computing architecture, an autonomous patching system may operator autonomously with no to minimal operator input to patch the host machines and corresponding computes of the cloud computing architecture's available applications. This may work by receiving a patch and determining corresponding patching factors for an availability zone of computes in the cloud. The system may then determine a patching topology map having an order of patching nodes for the selected computes of the application in the availability zone. Thereafter, while monitoring those computes, the system may select certain computes into an active processing funnel, where the patch is applied to those computes. Fingerprinting of before and after-patch states may be used to ensure proper patching.

Abstract: Techniques for faster reconstruction of segments using a dedicated spare memory unit are described. Zone segments in memory units are associated with a dedicated spare memory unit. The zone segments are reconstructed in the dedicated spare memory unit in response to a failed memory unit except for an identified failed zone segment of the failed memory unit. The identified failed zone segment of the failed memory unit is retained in the dedicated spare unit. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
