  • Publication number: 20240163075
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a privacy computing method based on homomorphic encryption, which includes steps as follows. The ciphertext data is received, where the ciphertext data has a floating-point homomorphic encryption data structure, and the floating-point homomorphic encryption data structure of the ciphertext data includes the ciphertext mantissa, exponent parameter and gain parameter. The gain parameter sets the precision of the floating point corresponding to the ciphertext mantissa. The exponent parameter is adapted to multiplication or division. The artificial intelligence model performs operations on the ciphertext data to return the ciphertext result.

  • Publication number: 20240080180
    Abstract: The federated learning system includes a moderator and client devices. Each client device performs a method for verifying model update as follows: receiving a hash function and a general model; training a client model according to the general model and raw data; calculating a difference as an update parameter between the general model and the client model, sending the update parameter to the moderator; inputting the update parameter to the hash function to generate a hash value; sending the hash value to other client devices, and receiving other hash values; summing all the hash values to generate a trust value; receiving an aggregation parameter calculated according to the update parameters; inputting the aggregation parameter to the hash function to generate a to-be-verified value; and updating the client model according to the aggregation parameter when the to-be-verified value equals the trust value.

  • Patent number: 11788569
    Abstract: An anti-pullout and low-resistance screw includes a shank, a screw-in portion, a head portion, and a thread. The thread is helically formed around both the screw-in portion and the shank and includes a plurality of thread convolutions. Each thread convolution includes an upper tooth surface facing the head portion and a lower tooth surface facing the screw-in portion. At least one tapered pressing structure is designed on the screw-in portion and/or the shank to define at least one section with its outer diameter tapering towards the screw-in portion gradually. The tapered pressing structure extends from a bottom edge of the lower tooth surface along a longitudinal axis of the shank. The lower tooth surface has a lower tooth surface height that is greater than the thread height. An annular anti-pullout plane is formed on the shank between two adjacent thread convolutions to enhance the anti-pullout strength of the screw.

  • Patent number: 11396898
    Abstract: A screw includes a head and a shank extending from the head, and a hole-enlarging portion formed on the shank. The hole-enlarging portion features no thread and a substantially triangular transverse section. The hole-enlarging portion includes three inclined edges spaced from one another in the circumferential direction of the shank, and a guiding slope is formed between two adjacent inclined edges. The shank defines a longitudinal axis and is provided with a thread. Each inclined edge extends toward the head in an inclined direction relative to a horizontal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The inclined direction of each inclined edge is identical to a direction in which the thread extends toward the head.

  • Publication number: 20220112916
    Abstract: A concrete screw is adapted to be driven into a hole predrilled in a concrete structure and includes a head, a shank extending from the head, a thread formed on the shank, and a plurality of bump units. The shank includes front and rear segments spaced along a longitudinal axis. The bump units are distributed on at least the front segment of the shank and staggered along the longitudinal axis. Each bump unit includes a plurality of bumps constitute an inclined pattern relative to the longitudinal axis. Each bump protrudes from the periphery of the shank. In the course of the screw being driven into the hole, the bumps pulverize concrete debris in the hole, and waste debris accumulates at a segment of the shank on which the bump units are distributed for development of a pressing segment and promotion of anti-pullout strength of the screw.

  • Patent number: 11137012
    Abstract: A wood screw that includes a head and a shank is revealed. The shank is formed by a main shank portion and a tapered portion whose diameter is smaller than that of the main shank portion, both provided with a locking thread. A plurality of drilling units, whose outside diameter of the drilling unit is smaller than that of the locking thread, is disposed on the tapered portion. The drilling units first destroy workpiece material corresponding to the main shank portion so that the workpiece material becomes loose and the resistance of the locking thread of the main shank portion is reduced. Thereby the wood screw is screwed into the workpiece more smoothly. Moreover, an internal thread segment whose thread depth matches that of the locking thread of the main shank portion is formed so that the wood screw and the workpiece are fastened more firmly.
