  • Patent number: 11973375
    Abstract: An annular axial flux motor includes a rotor mounted on an annular subsection of a rotatable cam ring and a stator mounted on an annular subsection of a carrier frame. The rotor includes two Halbach arrays of permanent magnets spaced from each other on the cam ring along an axial direction. The stator includes multiple phase electrical windings printed on multiple layers of a printed circuit board (PCB) that are stacked along the axial direction. The multiple layers are positioned between the Halbach arrays, with active side of the Halbach arrays facing to opposite sides of the multiple layers. The Halbach arrays are configured to generate a symmetrical magnetic field and the multiple phase electrical windings are configured to have a same rotor-dependent torque constant, such that the stator can generate a constant torque to rotate the rotor and the cam ring within a finite travel range.

  • Patent number: 11972424
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are generally described for detecting evasive terms in item listings. In some examples, a list of keywords associated with a first category of specified items may be received. In some examples, text data associated with a first item may be received. A first plurality of tokens representing a corrected version of the text data may be generated using spell correction techniques. In some cases, first flag data indicating that the text data constitutes evasive text may be generated based at least in part on the generation of the first plurality of tokens. The first flag data and a numerical representation of the first plurality of tokens may be input into a binary classifier trained to generate label data indicating whether text data associated with a given item is evasive or non-evasive. The binary classifier may generate label data indicating that the text data associated with the first item is evasive.
