Abstract: This is a system for authenticity analysis of social media activity having flags that can represent an indicator that a social media account may be participating in a coordinated influence operation, and a computer system in communication with social media platforms. The computer system identifies conversation topics, searches for indicators that social media accounts are involved with conversation topics, determines sets of social media accounts related to the conversation topics, assigns one or more flags to social media accounts according to account attributes, determines if sets of social media accounts are attempting to exert influence on objects of influence within the conversation topics through statistical analysis of flag distributions, and provides subsets of social media accounts suspected of exerting coordinated influence.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for estimating properties of a mixture of two or more surfactant species are provided. Multiple molecular dynamics simulations of the mixture are performed, each simulation using a particular total concentration of the surfactant species and a particular ratio of the surfactant species, such that the multiple simulations cover a plurality of such total concentrations and a plurality of such ratios, each simulation being carried out above the critical micelle concentration of the simulated mixture. For each simulation, and from the results of each simulation, a distribution of each surfactant species between at least a micellar pseudo-phase and a non-micellar pseudo-phase of the mixture at the particular total concentration and particular ratio for that simulation is determined.

Abstract: Methods described herein, in some embodiments, permit extraction of particle structural and/or surface charge data from gradient induced particle motion in channels. In one aspect, a method of manipulating particle motion comprises introducing a fluid into a channel, the fluid comprising particles, and driving particle accumulation to a preselected location in the channel by setting advective velocity of the fluid to offset diffusiophoretic mobility of the particles at the preselected location.

Abstract: A method of designing and producing the spoke section of a vehicle wheel using chopped carbon fiber pre-impregnated composite material is provided, wherein the method allows wheel designers to machine several different wheel designs, wheel diameters, and wheels with different offsets without using different material molds for each, as is customary with traditional carbon fiber reinforced plastic wheels designed using a layup procedure. The present method greatly reduces material waste, engineering design effort for each wheel, and the cost of each wheel over existing methods by using a single mold that can accommodate different wheel designs.

Abstract: A lighted panel in combination with an article of footwear wherein the lighted panel includes a translucent display panel, a foam sheet, at least one primary light diffuser, and a reflective sheet that together act to illuminate, and distribute light uniformly throughout, the translucent display panel without any concentrated points of light.

Abstract: What is disclosed are adhesives and bonding methods employing a single coat of a solvent-based adhesive that effectively bonds thermoplastic polymers and especially thermoplastic elastomers. The adhesive components are a organosilane component selected from organosilane-isocyanate adduct and isocyanato-organosilane, a post-chlorinated polymer containing propylene repeating units or derivative thereof, and solvent. Also disclosed are methods for joining a rigid, structural substrate to a molten polymer such as a TPE via injection molding or extrusion. Durable adhesion between the adhesive treated portion of the rigid sub-strate and the melt-processed polymer is achieved with or without a previous heat treatment on the adhesive-coated substrate prior to joining to the thermoplastic melt.
