Summary:
Applied NanoStructured Solutions, LLC (ANS) has developed a technology to continuously grow and infuse Carbon Nanostructures (CNS) directly on fiber substrates. ANS has designed and constructed a modular, scalable manufacturing line and demonstrated infusion onto carbon, glass, ceramic, and aramid fibers, and on metals. This patented method harnesses the advantageous properties of CNS at a cost-effective and commercially viable scale. ANS working with TE Connectivity's (TE) Advanced Development Group in Menlo Park California has begun to insert a variety of product forms, using this technology, into Lockheed Martin platforms as well other OEM's platforms, defense as well as commercial. The first form factor built and tested was braided cable shielding. TE manufactured prototype CNS based cables have demonstrated weight savings with increased performance. These prototypes have been flown on a Lockheed Martin platform and meet EMP and Lightning requirements for flight safety.
This document describes a new approach to incorporating carbon nanotubes (CNS) into composite materials to improve their properties. It discusses growing CNS directly onto fiber substrates using a continuous, scalable process. This allows the CNS network to be infused throughout the material. CNS growth is then shown on various fiber types with high entanglement and branching. The CNS can be harvested and processed into various forms suitable for different manufacturing methods. Incorporating CNS in this way aims to enhance mechanical, electrical and thermal properties to create affordable multifunctional materials.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Copper is dominate until CNS resistivity (Impedance/optical coverage) is lower.
The relatively small amount of copper has very poor optical coverage , thus the
rise in resistivity as frequency increases until it matches that of the CNS.
At that point a majority of the energy starts to flow through the CNS forest.

18. ZtEstimator:
Optimize Mode
• Enter Zt targets & parameter
space
• ZtEstimator finds all shields
that meet targets
• Sort by weight, DC
resistance, or any other
criteria
• Double-click any shield to
plot its Zt
• Export individual shield or
entire chart to Excel
18
19. Double or Hybrid Shields
• One Shield
• Double or Hybrid Shield Performance
Dependent on the performance of each shield: Zt1, Zt2
Dependent on the loss in each shield: Zs1, Zs2
Dependent upon interaction between shields: Zinteraction

21. What Does All This Mean?
ANS Can Predict at What Frequency “Tube
Behavior” Starts
Verifiable by Running STI on the CNS Shielding
Component Alone
ZTEstimator Can be Used to Find the “Best
Fit” for Copper and CNS Components of the
Shield
Any Metal Could be Used
Example
200 Tex CNS Braid Starts Dropping at ~40MHz
The Copper Outer Braid is Tailored to Start the “20Log”
Rise at 50MHz
The End Cable Transfer Impedance Behavior Would Stay
Flat Then Start Dropping at 40MHz Instead of Rising at
50MHz

Predictable Shield Behavior!!!
(Reference Vance, 1978 Wiley)
22. So What’s Next?
IEEE 1394 Cable
Military 1394 is a Small Cable with an
Excellent Bend Radius and Shielding
Performance
Incumbent offerings sacrifice weight to gain the tight bend
radius by using double braid shield vs. a foil.
Proof of Concept Complete
The First Iteration Saved 7% to 8% in Total Cable Weight
Minimum Target of 10% in Total Weight Savings
20% should be attainable
Example: 4000 feet of cable would weigh ~80lbs vs.
Current ~100lbs
Copper Outer Braid Allows The Use
Traditional Connector Techniques
Next Steps
Optimize weave for weight and performance
Electrical testing.
Including Eye Pattern & STI

We wanted to know how much the NWH “leaked” energy through the seams.
So we started with two full sheets and slowly cut them back until there was only a 2% overlap
We found that the there was no leakage at all. If there had been we would have seen an SE
level lower than a single uncut sheet

Editor's Notes
Why Did We Focus Low Frequency?LM SME’s Opinion was ANS had to solve the Low Frequency Issue. Without a Solution our Material Like Most Other Carbon Nano Material’s Would be Unsuitable for any Application with Lightning and EMP Requirements. So we Solved it!We Challenge Anyone To Find Any Nano Material Manufacturer Showing their SE Numbers Below 1GHz!
Transfer Impedance is a shield level test, not a cable test and is independent of cable geometry Shielding Effectiveness Testing can be impacted by the method of energy input, physical placement and chamber physics, the cable’s assembly and geometry. Making repeatability challenging
Our initial data was promising in the high frequency ranges, but was not as good in the low ranges Note: Copper trending up CNS trending down, displaying “Tube” Behavior. The Data Shown is a small sub set of the cables tested
Same as Glass
Adding Copper solved part of the problem, but at 20KHz performance started to degradeNote we are still seeing the “Tube” behavior
Note the impedance
Two Orders of Magnitude improvement! Why?
Same as Glass
Same Cable This test was repeated on multiple cables of different CNS weights and results repeatable
While working on the braided product ANS developed a complementary product.
Approximately 45dB of shielding from 30 MHz to 1.5GHz a 10X increase over the NWH substrate
TE tested high frequency performance from 1GHz to 8GHz and saw approximately 40dB for shielding performance
We wanted to understand how the NWH interacted with other CNS shield technologies and found it complements them
CNS NWH sets new standards for weight vs. shielding performance. Only the most exotic and expensive solutions are comparable.
