  • Publication number: 20240120500
    Abstract: A method of forming a platinum on carbon (Pt/C) catalyst, comprising the steps of: impregnating a carbon substrate made of carbon materials with an aqueous Pt ion containing solution; drying the impregnated substrate; and scribing the surface of the substrate in-situ with a laser beam by moving the beam over the surface in order to vaporize the carbon materials and redeposited them as nano sized carbon particles onto the carbon substrate. As a result, the heat generated in situ from the laser process reduces Pt salt particles dispersed on the surface into Pt (0). This avoids the slurry preparation, tape casting and drying procedure of the prior art and results in reduced manufacturing times and a better product.

  • Publication number: 20240119147
    Abstract: A method in one embodiment creates a model of an authentic IC for use in comparisons with counterfeit ICs. The model can be created by determining a first or initial set of points of interest (POIs) on the simulated physical (e.g., gate level) layout and simulating side channel leakage from each POI and then expanding the size of the POI and repeating the simulation and comparing successive simulation results (between successive sizes of POIs for a given POI) to determine if a solution for the size of the POI has converged. The final POIs are then processed in a simulation that can use multiple payloads (e.g., cryptographic data) over the entire set of final POIs, and the resulting data set can be used to create the model.

  • Publication number: 20240119256
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides directed to new, more efficient neural network architectures. As one example, in some implementations, the neural network architectures of the present disclosure can include a linear bottleneck layer positioned structurally prior to and/or after one or more convolutional layers, such as, for example, one or more depthwise separable convolutional layers. As another example, in some implementations, the neural network architectures of the present disclosure can include one or more inverted residual blocks where the input and output of the inverted residual block are thin bottleneck layers, while an intermediate layer is an expanded representation. For example, the expanded representation can include one or more convolutional layers, such as, for example, one or more depthwise separable convolutional layers. A residual shortcut connection can exist between the thin bottleneck layers that play a role of an input and output of the inverted residual block.

  • Publication number: 20240115510
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a testis-targeted lycopene (LYC)/ZIF-90 nanocomposite and a preparation method and use thereof, belonging to the technical field of targeted drugs. In the present disclosure, a ZIF-90 metal-organic framework (MOF) material is combined with LYC through aldol condensation; when entering areas of inflammatory response and oxidative stress response, ZIF-90 may disintegrate and collapse in a slightly-acidic environment, releasing the LYC, thereby avoiding easy oxidation of the LYC and improving a bioavailability of the LYC; in addition, the disintegrated and collapsed ZIF-90 may also be utilized by organisms, thus greatly reducing a damage to the organisms. Moreover, the LYC/ZIF-90 nanocomposite is further loaded with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
