  • Publication number: 20250023075
    Abstract: A system for use with a fuel cell stack supplied by a tank of hydrogen includes a combustor coupled to the fuel cell exhaust line to receive and combust residual hydrogen gas in the exhaust, a turbine coupled to the combustor to receive combusted exhaust from the combustor; and a mechanical device coupled to the turbine to extract work from rotation of the turbine. The combustor may further be coupled to receive and combust hydrogen in fuel cell circulation-loop purge gas, and the combustor may further combust hydrogen received from the fuel tank via a fuel tank purge line or on demand. Supplementary oxygen may be supplied to the combustor based on an oxygen level detected by the oxygen sensor in the combustor exhaust line.

  • Publication number: 20250019084
    Abstract: A fuel cell thermal management system and method for aerodynamic vehicles (such as aircraft) having propulsion systems powered by hydrogen fuel cells. The system and method reduce the overall amount of energy required to operate a propulsion system, which in turn reduces cooling requirements and improves efficiency. A cabin air reuse system uses cabin exhaust air as input air for the fuel cell. Because the cabin exhaust air is compressed, this saves the work involved in compressing air for input to the fuel cell.

  • Publication number: 20250004564
    Abstract: Motion detection computing devices may have difficulty determining precise motions of a user who suffers from unintended movement, such as tremors, associated with a physical or medical condition. Aspects described herein relate to motion compensation for detected motion input, e.g., 3D motion, from such users. As described herein, a system may detect the presence of rhythmic motion and/or other input characteristics within captured motion input from a user. The system may determine one or more filters to apply to the captured motion input based on the rhythmic motion, other input characteristics, and/or information in a user profile. The one or more filters may be applied to the captured motion input in order to suppress or minimize the effects of the rhythmic motion and/or other input characteristics thereby resulting in an enhanced user experience in an interactive system, such as a 3D, virtual and/or augmented reality environment.

  • Patent number: 12170688
    Abstract: A distributed denial of service attack is detected. In response to detection of the attack, application layer properties of network traffic associated with a web application under attack are analyzed. Changes to distributions of the application layer properties are identified. A signature is generated based, at least in part, on identifying a combination of application layer properties whose distributions have changed, and which identifies traffic increased since onset of the attack. A mitigation rule is generated based, at least in part, on the signature.

  • Publication number: 20240406514
    Abstract: Methods and systems for method for video streaming in a one-way transfer (OWT) system. An example method includes transmitting, from a source computing environment, a video stream for receipt by a destination computing device in a destination computing environment. The video stream is duplicated into a primary video stream and a secondary video stream, both of which are received by a switching device. When the switching device detects an interruption in one of the duplicate data streams, the other stream is transmitted to the destination computing device.

  • Publication number: 20240406248
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for UDP file serialization. In examples, a file received at a first device in a OWT system is separated into multiple data chunks. Each of the data chunks is further separated into multiple data segments. Metadata associated with the file is inserted into each of the data chunks and each of the data segments. Data packets that comprise the data segments and compose the data chunks are transmitted to a second device in the OWT system. The second device uses the metadata in the data chunks and the data segments to reconstruct the file. In some examples, data loss mitigation strategies are implemented to mitigate data packet loss and data packet corruption during processing and transmission.

  • Publication number: 20240405864
    Abstract: Methods and systems for transferring data through a one-way transfer (OWT) system using a fault-tolerant data diode. Data from a source computing environment may be converted to an optical signal that is then split into duplicate signals. The duplicate optical signals are received by two receiving devices that have optical receivers. The receiving devices operate as either a primary device or a secondary device to continue transmission of the received data. The operating states of the receiving devices may change based the health or status of the respective devices.

  • Publication number: 20240403451
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for implementing a software-based security abstraction engine in a one-way transfer (OWT) system. In examples, data is received at a first device in the OWT system. A first set of policies is identified based on a dataflow identifier associated with the transfer of the data. A policy engine associated with the first set of policies applies the first set of policies to the data to create digital signatures. The digital signatures are evaluated by the security abstraction engine to determine whether the set of digital signatures is valid. If the digital signatures are determined to be valid, a provenance digital signature is created for the data and a second set of policies is applied to the data. The data is then transmitted to a second device or destination in the OWT system based on the dataflow identifier.
