Abstract: Carbon nanostructures are used to prepare electrode compositions for lithium ion batteries. In one example, carbon nanostructures, fragments of carbon nanostructures and/or fractured carbon nanotubes are provided in an aqueous dispersion that can be used in the manufacture of silicon-containing anodes. The aqueous dispersion can further include another conductive carbon additive such as carbon black.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to a computer-implemented method. The method can include obtaining a first plurality of testing parameters for an autonomous vehicle testing scenario associated with a plurality of performance metrics based at least in part on a first sampling rule. The method can include simulating the autonomous vehicle testing scenario using the first plurality of testing parameters to obtain a first scenario output. The method can include evaluating an optimization function that evaluates the first scenario output to obtain simulation error data that corresponds to a performance metric. The method can include determining a second sampling rule associated with the performance metric. The method can include obtaining a second plurality of testing parameters for the autonomous vehicle testing scenario based at least in part on the second sampling rule.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure are directed to a computer-implemented method. The method can include obtaining a first vehicle testing tuple comprising a plurality of first testing parameters and a second vehicle testing tuple comprising a plurality of second testing parameters. The method can include determining that the plurality of first testing parameters are associated with an evaluated operating condition. The method can include appending the first tuple to a first portion of a plurality of portions of a vehicle testing knowledge structure. The method can include determining that a second testing parameter is associated with an unevaluated operating condition. The method can include evaluating the unevaluated operating condition. The method can include generating a second portion comprising the second vehicle testing tuple for the vehicle testing knowledge structure.
