Abstract: A family of new and novel molecules for mechanically superior two-dimensional (2D) polymers is described herein. By combining stiff carbon-containing cyclic polymer nodal units with more compliant linear polymer bridge units in an ordered, 2D repeating molecular structure it is possible to tailor the mechanical properties of 2D polymers and their assemblies to provide high stiffness, strength, and toughness. Furthermore, the inherent dimensionality of 2D polymers and their ability to be stacked into ordered and chemically interactive ensembles gives them inherent benefits in a variety of barrier and structural applications over current stiff and strong linear polymer technologies.

Abstract: A gun having at least two barrels wherein each barrel is adapted to receive at least one projectile. The barrels are attached to a gun body having a gun chamber adapted to receive a propelling charge. An interface between the gun chamber and the barrels selectively connects the gun chamber with one or more of the barrels to fire a variable number of projectiles at variable velocities.

Abstract: An electronic device in the form a two-dimensional array of nanopillars extending generally normal to a substrate is provided. The nanopillars are made from a paraelectric or superparaelectric material. In addition, a linear dielectric medium is located between individual nanopillars. A two-dimensional array of paraelectric or superparaelectric nanopillars and a linear dielectric medium form the effective dielectric medium of a paraelectric or superparaelectric varactor. In some instances, the nanopillars are cylindrical nanopillars that have an average diameter and/or average height/length between 1-300 nanometers. In other instances, the nanopillars are quasi-nanoparticles that form self-aligned nano-junctions. In addition, each of the nanopillars has a single paraelectric or superparaelectric dipole domain therewithin. As such, each of the nanopillars can be void of crystallographic defects, polycrystallinity, interactions between ferroic domains, and defects due to ferroic domain walls.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to semiconductor electronic devices formed of 2-D van der Waals material whose free charge carrier concentration is determined by adjacent semiconductor's polarization. According to one particular embodiment, a semiconductor electronic device is composed of one or more layers of two dimensional (2-D) van der Waals (VDW) material; and one or more layers of polarized semiconductor material adjacent to the one or more layer of 2-D VDW material. The polarization of the adjacent semiconductor material establishes the free carrier charge concentration of the 2-D VDW material.

Abstract: Provided are processes of monitoring or modifying a network of electronically connected assets that dynamically builds relationships and dependencies among detected vulnerabilities in one or more of the assets and sensor measurements so that risk assessment can be achieved more accurately and in real-time. A process includes: identifying a plurality of vulnerabilities on a network of electronically interconnected devices representing one or more critical assets; determining dependencies between each vulnerability in the plurality of vulnerabilities; creating a hidden Markov model representing an attack state of each vulnerability of the plurality of vulnerabilities; determining the exploit likelihood of each of the attack states at a first time; determining the most probable sequences or paths of the attack states; and identifying dynamically the risk of one or more of the critical assets based on the sequences or paths of attack states.
