Disclosed are systems and methods for supporting safe vehicle use. Specifically, machine learning is applied to identify and accumulate data from electronic services. The machine learning is further used to identify risk associated with a potential use of a vehicle. The identified risk is a basis for safety customizations of the vehicle, based upon capabilities of the vehicle.

System and method for vehicular tracking

Disclosed are systems and methods for facilitating identification of risk across risk silos in an organization. Machine learning utilizes risk identification data from two or more silos to identify risk associated with electronic change requests provided to the system. Regulatory/compliance results are submitted to a blockchain for immutable recordation of compliance status.

System and method for risk tracking

Disclosed are systems and methods for supporting a vehicle lending services platform. Specifically, machine learning is applied to identify and accumulate data from electronic services. The machine learning is further used to identify risk associated with a potential lend of a vehicle. The identified risk is presented as part of a browser plugin graphical user interface (GUI) and/or inline with portions of a portal GUI of the vehicle lending services platform.

Superhydrophobic coatings for deposit reduction in selective catalytic reductant systems

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for producing a metal-containing powder useful for additive manufacturing. The metal-containing powder includes a plurality of metal-containing platelets having a defined physical geometry and a defined aspect ratio. The metal platelets may be produced by depositing a metal layer on a substrate that includes one or more recessed or raised surface features. The one or more recessed or raised surface features create a fracture pattern in a metal layer deposited across at least a portion of the one or more surface features. By separating the metal layer from the substrate and fracturing the metal layer along the fracture pattern, a plurality of metal platelets are produced. In some embodiments, a release agent may be disposed between the metal layer and the substrate to facilitate the separation of the metal layer from the substrate.

Engineered platelets for additive manufacturing

The present invention relates generally in gaseous oxygen propulsion systems with solid-phase chemical oxygen generation for in-space propulsion systems. Chemical oxygen generation is provided by alkali metal chlorates, alkali metal perchlorates or metal peroxides.

Compositions comprising Type I clathrates of silicon (Si) or carbon (C) wherein the framework of the cage structure includes nitrogen and carbon or nitrogen and silicon or nitrogen-silicon-carbon atom type composition, with or without guest atoms in their respective cage structures. The clathrate structures are particularly useful for energy storage applications such as battery electrodes.

Nitrogen substituted carbon and silicon clathrates

A method for depositing a coating includes creating a vacuum within an interior volume of a tubular structure, wherein the tubular structure also includes an internal surface. Gas is supplied to the interior volume of the tubular structure, wherein the gas includes a plasma precursor in the gas phase. The tubular structure is biased relative to ground. Plasma having a density is formed and cyclically positioned along the length of the tubular structure. Positive ions of the plasma precursor gas are generated and are deposited on the internal surface forming a coating on the internal surface, wherein the coating exhibits a water contact angle of greater than 120&#xb0;.

Superhydrophobic compositions and coating process for the internal surface of tubular structures

A composition comprising a Type 1 clathrate of silicon having a Siframework cage structure wherein the silicon atoms on said framework are at least partially substituted by carbon atoms, said composition represented by the formula CSiwith 1&#x2266;y&#x2266;45. The composition of may include one or more guest atoms A within the cage structure represented by the formula ACSiwherein A=H, Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr, Be, Mg, Ca. Sr, Ba, Ra, Eu, Cl, Br, or I or any metal or metalloid element and x is the number of said guest atoms within said cage structure.

Hybrid silicon and carbon clathrates

The present invention relates to carbon based materials that are employed for hydrogen storage applications. The material may be described as the pyrolysis product of a molecular precursor such as a cyclic quinone compound. The pyrolysis product may then be combined with selected transition metal atoms which may be in nanoparticulate form, where the metals may be dispersed on the material surface. Such product may then provide for the reversible storage of hydrogen. The metallic nanoparticles may also be combined with a second metal as an alloy to further improve hydrogen storage performance.
