  • Patent number: 11961129
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide a geo-targeted online reservation system that ensures authenticity of customer devices requesting reservations by generating reservations only if threshold authentication conditions are satisfied. For example, a computing device registered with a server system receives inputs for requesting a reservation of a limited release product and for configuring the product. To authenticate the computing device, the server device transmits an electronic message to the computing device requesting the computing device to respond. A response to the message is one threshold authentication condition for generating the reservation. Upon determining that one or more threshold authentication conditions are satisfied, the server device generates a reservation for the product.

  • Patent number: 11930003
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for workflow service back end integration. In some examples, a workflow service identifies a workflow action and a user account that is responsible for the workflow action. A command to present the workflow action for user authorization is transmitted to a client device associated with the user account. The workflow service transmits a command to perform the workflow action based on an identification of the user authorization.

  • Patent number: 11855484
    Abstract: A rotor assembly for an axial flux machine may include at least one magnet and first and second support structures. The first support structure may be configured to have the at least one magnet attached thereto and to provide a flux return path for the at least one magnet. The second support structure may be configured to be attached to the first support structure so as to allow torque to be transferred between the at least one magnet and the second support structure via the first support structure, and may be further configured (A) to be attached to a rotatable shaft of the axial flux machine, or (B) to function as an output or input flange of the axial flux machine.

  • Patent number: 11751330
    Abstract: A dielectric substrate may support conductive traces that form windings for a least one pole of a planar armature of an axial flux machine. At least a portion of the dielectric substrate, which is adapted to be positioned within an annular active area of the axial flux machine, may include a soft magnetic material. Such a planar armature may be produced, for example, by forming the conductive traces on the dielectric substrate, and filling interstitial gaps between the conductive traces with at least one epoxy material in which the soft magnetic material is embedded.
