She also presented on several sodium ion battery materials that demonstrated superior cycling performance, high reversible capacity, and capacity retention at high current densities, such as Na0.4Mn0.54Co0.46O2 nanosheets and ultrathin NiO nanosheets. Finally, she discussed novel 2D polymer sheets that showed superior stability, quick charging/discharging, and
FGV Cambridge Nanosystems is a graphene production and technology company established in 2012 with 20 employees from 11 countries. It has an annual graphene production capability of 19 kg per day in its 2500 square meter factory. The company produces high quality graphene flakes and uses them to develop graphene-enabled technologies like flexible heaters, conductive inks for printing, and graphene additives to improve lithium-ion batteries. It works with businesses in automotive, aerospace and other industries to develop prototype and commercial applications of its graphene materials and technologies.
This document discusses emerging production technologies like additive manufacturing (3D printing) and whether their adoption constitutes a "fourth industrial revolution." It identifies several potential barriers to the uptake of these technologies, including issues around materials, design, skills/education, costs/investment, standards/regulation, testing, and intellectual property protection. The document argues that overcoming these barriers is important to improve the commercialization of new production technologies and maximize their impacts on business models, locations of production activities, and the skills and capabilities needed to create and capture value from them. It questions whether technological innovation alone will drive productivity growth or if broader changes are needed to fully realize the potential of emerging technologies.
The document discusses how 2D materials can advance energy storage and discusses several research projects utilizing 2D materials for lithium and sodium-ion batteries. It summarizes that integrating selected 2D lithium host materials into 3D architectures can improve electrochemical performance through increased surface area and diffusion pathways. Composite 2D-3D microstructures incorporating graphene offer multiple functional enhancements for energy storage systems. There is a need to explore advanced manufacturing methods for nanostructured materials.
AI and automation will significantly impact productivity and jobs. While AI can boost productivity through automation of routine tasks, it may also displace many jobs. To manage this transition and ensure the benefits of AI are widely shared, governments and companies should [1] establish ethical oversight of AI systems, [2] invest profits from AI into retraining displaced workers, and [3] explore options like universal basic income to support those impacted by job disruption. Overall, AI has the potential to dramatically increase global GDP if its development and applications are properly managed.
This document discusses graphene, a two-dimensional material with many extraordinary properties. It lists graphene's properties such as flexibility, anti-flammability, strength, and thermal and electrical conductivity. Potential applications are discussed for graphene in various industries like aerospace, automotive, electronics. Challenges in graphene production and commercialization are mentioned. The document also provides information on graphene production methods and development support from organizations.
This document discusses computer vision and ethics in artificial intelligence. It covers topics like deep learning for computer vision, multi-task learning using uncertainty, and video semantic segmentation. It also discusses the trolley problem in ethics and provides examples of unethical AI today. Some concrete problems in autonomous vehicle safety are identified, including trust, fairness, interpretability and avoiding reward hacking. The document concludes that while deep learning can help machines perceive and act from data, models also need to understand ethics themselves to be applied safely in real-world situations.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
