SECURE REMOTE CONTROLS PACKAGE FOR SEMI-AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS
A secure system for sending and receiving remote signals that control semiautonomous critical systems and infrastructure. The secure system includes a plurality of independent operator stations to provide command signals to the remote critical systems and infrastructure by means of wired and/or wireless communications. Decoupling of the secure system from raw signals is performed by a data broker that serves to check for time-dependent and signal-dependent corroboration between the raw signals and then provide limited-scope instructions to the secure system controller. Further security is afforded to the secure system through encryption of the incoming command signals, convoluting the encrypted command signals within data structures, and padding with erroneous information with the implementation of a synthesized command signal that renders successfully decrypted and deconvoluted command signals neither readable by humans or machines. The final method of data security is appropriated through the synthesis of transmitter/receiver unique “languages” that serve to translate decrypted and unconvoluted signals into their final human/machine readable instructions.

ELECTROCHEMICAL STORAGE INCORPORATING SIZE- AND MORPHOLOGY-CONTROLLED METASTABLE VANADIUM PENTOXIDE AS A CATHODE MATERIAL FOR ION BATTERIES
The Li-ion paradigm of battery technology is fundamentally constrained by the monovalency of the Li-ion. A straightforward solution is to transition to multivalent ion chemistries, with Mg2+ the most obvious candidate due to considerations of size and mass. Despite early interest, the realization of Mg batteries has faced myriad obstacles, including a sparse selection of cathode materials demonstrating the ability to reversibly insert divalent ions. Disclosed herein is evidence of reversible topochemical and electrochemical insertion of Mg2+ into a metastable one-dimensional polymorph of V2O5. Not only does ζ-V2O5 represent a rare addition to the pantheon of functional Mg battery cathode materials, but is also distinctive in exhibiting a combination of high stability, high specific capacity due to ion insertion, and moderately high operating voltage.
