Abstract: A method of making a densified carbon component includes wrapping a preform tape of carbon material about a mandrel to form a first preform having a laminated, multi-layer structure, and applying a sacrificial tape overwrap to the first preform in a tensioned manner to form a second preform having the layers of preform tape subject to form-holding hoop stress by the tape overwrap. The second preform is then densified in a densification process to produce the densified carbon component. During densification, the presence of the overwrap helps to prevent undesired delamination or similar defects from occurring.

Abstract: A system is provided for detecting and remediating computing system breaches using computing network traffic monitoring. In particular, the system may identify one or more technology elements within a network as well as relationships between computing systems associated with said elements to determine a network topology. Based on the network topology, the system may use historical network traffic data associated with the technology elements in the network to generate predicted entry points and lateral pathways of a security breach that may take place within particular computing systems. Then, based on the technology elements affected as well as entry points and path traversals of the breach, the system may generate and/or implement one or more remediation steps to address existing and/or future breaches. In this way, the system may provide an intelligent method of augmenting the security of a computing network.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for automatically generating semantical enhanced metadata for a structured data structure. Multi-task machine learning training is performed, based on data comprising separate sets of training data samples for each of a plurality of semantic metadata enhancement tasks, of a base artificial intelligence (AI) computer model to thereby generate a fine-tuned AI computer model trained to specifically generate semantically enhanced metadata for structured data structures. A prompt is received that specifies a structure of an input structured data structure and requests a semantic metadata enhancement task from the plurality of semantic metadata enhancement tasks. The fine-tuned AI computer model processes the prompt to generate semantically enhanced metadata for the structure of the input structured data structure and provide it to a downstream computing system for performing a downstream computing operation based on the semantically enhanced metadata.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for performing communication link handoffs between ground-based stations and aircraft in an aviation communications network. In the communications network, ground based stations interspersed throughout a coverage area of the network can be utilized to provide one or more aircraft flying within the coverage area with communications links that facilitate communication between an operator and an aircraft. In one or more examples, during the operation of the flight, the spectrum management system or other controller can coordinate the transfer of communications responsibilities between ground-stations of the network. The network can use a priori information from the flight plan to pre-coordinate handovers before the actual handover is to be initiated. In one or more examples, pre-coordination can include exchanging cryptographic keys between a source base station and a probable target base station of a handover.
