  • Patent number: 11769908
    Abstract: Presented are new, earth-abundant lithium superionic conductors, Li3Y(PS4)2 and Li5PS4Cl2, that emerged from a comprehensive screening of the Li—P—S and Li-M-P—S chemical spaces. Both candidates are derived from the relatively unexplored quaternary silver thiophosphates. One key enabler of this discovery is the development of a first-of-its-kind high-throughput first principles screening approach that can exclude candidates unlikely to satisfy the stringent Li+ conductivity requirements using a minimum of computational resources. Both candidates are predicted to be synthesizable, and are electronically insulating. Systems and methods according to present principles enable new, all-solid-state rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

  • Publication number: 20230115956
    Abstract: Sodium-based all solid-state batteries exhibit improved battery cycle life and stability with the use of a new chloride-based sodium solid electrolyte in which sodium diffusivity within the electrolyte is enhanced through substitution of atoms including one or more of Y with Zr, Ti, Hf, Ta, and Na with one or more of Ca and Sr.

  • Publication number: 20230113915
    Abstract: An interfacial protective coating layer of LTO is effective in preventing unwanted interfacial reactions between the solid-state electrolyte and cathode electrodes from occurring. Incorporation of the inventive coating into sodium-based all-solid-state batteries allows for room temperature operation, high voltage, and long cycle life.

  • Patent number: 10362057
    Abstract: Provided are methods, network devices, and computer-program products for a domain name system (DNS) threat detection engine for analyzing DNS traffic for potential threats. In various implementations, the DNS threat detection engine can include threat profiles that include characteristics of network threats associated with DNS. When a DNS message includes a characteristic associated with a particular threat profile, a remediation rule associated with the threat profile can be used to modify the DNS message, including modifying the destination for the DNS message. When the DNS message is received at the new destination, the DNS message can be analyzed to determine whether the DNS message is associated with a threat to the network.

  • Publication number: 20180189670
    Abstract: A method predicting a network activity associated with a given network site is provided. The method can include receiving a request to predict a probability of network activity associated with the network site, analyzing historical data associated with the network site, and, based on the analysis, determining the probability of the network activity in future. The method can further include monitoring the network site, ascertaining evidence associated with the network activity, and, based on the evidence, adjusting treatment of the network site. Additionally, the method can include comparing the probability to a predetermined threshold probability and, based on the comparison, selectively taking an action concerning the network site.
