Abstract: Disclosed herein are boron nitride/boron nitride nanotube composite fibers and methods of making and use thereof. For example, disclosed herein are methods of making a boron nitride/boron nitride nanotube composite fiber by spinning a mixture comprising a plurality of boron nitride nanotubes, a polymeric boron nitride precursor, a polymer, and a solvent to form precursor fibers having a first average outer diameter. The methods further comprise drawing the precursor fibers to form drawn fibers having a second average outer diameter that is less than the first average outer diameter. The methods further comprise heating the drawn fibers while the drawn fibers are under tension to substantially remove the polymer and to substantially convert the polymeric boron nitride precursor to boron nitride, thereby forming the composite fiber. Also disclosed herein are composite fibers made by any of the methods disclosed herein.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to methods for the dispersion processing of high aspect ratio nanomaterials, such as boron nitride nanotubes, into macrostructures. For example, the disclosed subject matter relates to boron nitride nanotube fibers and films, and methods of making and use thereof. In some examples, the methods are surfactant-free and/or sonication-free.

Abstract: Embodiments include a pyrolysis reactor including a rotating element that includes a first surface, a second surface, and where, in operation: the first surface and/or the second surface is positioned to receive the solid carbon, resulting in carbon buildup on the first surface and/or the second surface, and as the rotating element rotates, the first surface and/or second surface is configured to remove at least a portion of the carbon buildup. Some embodiments include a pyrolysis system including a pyrolysis reactor, a regeneration oxidizer feed, and a mechanical removal mechanism. Some embodiments include a pyrolysis reactor including a first rotating tube that includes an outer surface, a second rotating tube including an inner surface, a pyrolysis chamber between the outer surface and the inner surface, and where rotation of the first rotating tube and the second rotating tube is configured to remove carbon buildup.

Abstract: A method for inducing a covert misclassification performed on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the method includes identifying a target position. The method further includes creating a spectral perturbation tensor. The spectral perturbation tensor is configured to shift a projection of an initial spectrum towards the target position. Additionally, the method includes combining the spectral perturbation tensor to the initial spectrum. Further, the method includes classifying the combination of the spectral perturbation tensor and the initial spectrum with an established classifier, thereby designing the spectral perturbation tensor such that the combination is misclassified.

Abstract: An embodiment includes initiating a search engine to conduct a first search of a data resource for information associated with an acquisition candidate using search criteria provided via a user interface. The embodiment receives a first search result from the search engine comprising an information dataset associated with the acquisition candidate. The embodiment generates a candidate rating for the acquisition candidate indicative of a performance metric for the acquisition candidate relative to another acquisition candidate. The embodiment initiates the search engine to conduct a second search of the data resource using search criteria extracted from the information dataset. The embodiment receives a second search result from the search engine comprising due-diligence data. The embodiment calculates an updated candidate rating for the acquisition candidate based on the cognitive analysis of the due-diligence data and uses the updated rating to provide a recommendation regarding the acquisition candidate.
