Publication number: 20240086577Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for pairwise graph querying, merging, and computing for account linking. A service provider may provide an account graph system to identify pairwise similarities between different accounts based on shared data that may be identified through one or more linking characteristics. When providing pairwise graph similarities, a service provider may receive a query identifying two or more accounts and/or an account with a parameter for graph exploration and querying. The service provider may utilize connection, link, or relationship graphs, queried and generated using a graph database, to determine pairwise similarities between the designated seed account and one or more selected accounts. The graph may include vertices for different queried data points and edges connecting such queries, where directionality of the edges or other vectors may be used to identify links or hops between accounts for data querying and exploration.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Pengshan Zhang, Alon Wiener, Delin Liu, Haoran Zhang, Itzik Levi, Junshi Guo, Ying Lin, Yu Zhang, Zohar Li Marad

Patent number: 11735242Abstract: A magnetic device includes a layer stack comprising a first ferromagnetic layer; a spacer layer on the first ferromagnetic layer; a second ferromagnetic layer on the spacer layer; a dielectric barrier layer on the second ferromagnetic layer; an insertion layer positioned between the second ferromagnetic layer and the dielectric barrier layer; and a fixed layer or an electrode on the dielectric barrier layer. In some examples, a magnetic orientation of the second ferromagnetic layer is switched by a bias voltage across the layer stack without application of an external magnetic field; an antiferromagnetic coupling of the first and second ferromagnetic layers is increased by the bias voltage applying a negative charge to the fixed layer or the electrode, and the antiferromagnetic coupling of the first and second ferromagnetic layers is decreased by the bias voltage applying a positive charge to the fixed layer or the electrode.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Regents of the University of MinnesotaInventors: Jian-Ping Wang, Delin Zhang, Protyush Sahu
