  • Publication number: 20260099849
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for classifying a particular user account as a fraudulent user account by analyzing links between the user account and two or more known fraudulent user accounts collectively. Attributes of the particular user account are compared against attributes of a plurality of known fraudulent accounts to determine that the particular user account has shared attributes with a first known fraudulent account and a second known fraudulent account. The shared attributes with the first known fraudulent account and the second known fraudulent account are analyzed collectively to determine a risk level for the particular user account. The risk level may indicate a likelihood that the particular user account corresponds to a fraudulent account.

  • Patent number: 12576580
    Abstract: A 3D printing system for continuous fiber reinforced composite materials is provided. The 3D printing system does not require the fiber and resin to be premixed before they are used in 3D printing. Instead, the 3D printing system includes a guiding device that deposits fiber preform onto a build plate to form a predetermined shape, a preparation module that processes the fiber preform, a dispenser that dispenses a resin material on the fiber preform, a heater that applies heat to the mixture of the fiber preform and the resin materials to form a composite material, and a curing module that applies pressure and heat to cure the composite material.

  • Publication number: 20250262794
    Abstract: A process for additive manufacturing of a nanocomposite is disclosed. The process includes providing a uniform filament comprising a carbon fiber material and a polymer binder; dispensing the uniform filament to form a preform architecture that defines a first 3-dimensional bulk structure having a first set of volume-defining dimensions; heating the preform architecture to remove the polymer binder, thereby forming a porous carbon scaffold; and incorporating a matrix material into the porous carbon scaffold to form a third 3-dimensional bulk structure. The carbon scaffold defines a second 3-dimensional bulk structure having a second bulk volume, wherein the second bulk volume is equal to the first bulk volume within a tolerance of 10%. A system for additive manufacturing of a fiber reinforced composite is also disclosed. The system has a filament dispenser; means for moving the filament dispenser; a heater; and a matrix material applicator.

  • Publication number: 20250183357
    Abstract: Provided are solid-state hybrid electrolytes. The hybrid electrolytes have a polymeric material layer, which may be a polymer copolymer layer or a gel polymer copolymer layer, disposed on at least a portion of an exterior surface or all of the exterior surfaces of a solid-state electrolyte. A hybrid electrolyte can form an interface with an electrode of an ion-conducting battery that exhibits desirable properties. The solid-state electrolyte can comprise a monolithic SSE body, a mesoporous SSE body, or an inorganic SSE having fibers et strands, which may be aligned. In the case of solid-state electrolytes that have strands, the strands can be formed using a sacrificial template. The hybrid solid-state electrolytes can be used in ion-conducting batteries, which may be flexible, ion-conducting batteries.

  • Patent number: 11481687
    Abstract: Machine learning techniques are used in combination with graph data structures to perform automated classification of accounts. Graphs may be constructed using a seed node and then expanded outward to second-degree nodes and third-degree nodes that are connected to a seed user account node via direct interaction between the accounts. Characterization information regarding the interaction between accounts can be stored in the graph (e.g., quantity of interactions, types of interactions) as well as other metrics and metadata. A classifier, using random forest or another technique, may be trained using a number of different graphs that can then be used to reach a determination as to whether a user account falls into one particular category or another. These techniques can identify accounts that may be violating terms of service, committing a security violation, and/or performing illegal actions in a way that is not ascertainable from human analysis.
