Abstract: The invention provides a compact electromagnetic (EM) combo machine formed of a generator portion and a motor portion providing electrical power generation and actuation of a rotating or displacing shaft. The EM combo machine can be immersed in a flowing fluid. A turbine coupled to the generator portion can rotate a rotor on the generator portion. The generator portion that generates electrical power can be electrically directly coupled to the motor portion that actuates devices and can be within a single package. The speed of the motor portion can be controlled with a braking technique that includes a controlled electrical load. Any required relative rotational speed in revolutions per minute can be achieved by optimizing the number of poles of the motor portion compared to the generator portion. The possible combinations of radial flux and an axial flux designs for the EM combo machine provides added flexibility.

Abstract: Methods and systems for performing federated private anomaly detection are disclosed. An anomaly detector computer can collaborate with an aggregator computer and an account management computer in order to train machine learning models, which can be used to classify events as not fraudulent or fraudulent. The anomaly detector computer can obliviously use private information (e.g., account flags and account flag values) held by the account management computer to train and use the machine learning models, such that the anomaly detector does not become aware of the account flags or account flags values. Such a system can be used, for example, for the detection and prevention of financial crime. The anomaly detector computer can use the account flag information possessed by the account management computer to identify fraudulent events performed by customers of the organization operating the account management computer.

Abstract: Various devices, systems, and methods are described herein that provide bi-directional, and even multi-directional airflow within fan systems. These fan systems can be utilized by devices such as datacenter switches to change from one direction of airflow (such as port side inlet) to another direction (such as port side exhaust). This can be done manually by having a multi-directional fan housed within an enclosure that provides access through a hatch door. The multi-directional fan can be removed and reoriented to a second direction, thus providing airflow with the same quality and pressure in multiple directions. Fan changes can also be automated through one or more interlocking rotational gears coupled to the fans within a housing, such that rotating one gear will rotate each of the fans within the housing, thus changing the direction of the airflow. By doing this, only one fan is needed to provide airflow in multiple directions.
