Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods of determining online identity reputation. In aspects, an online identity of an entity may engage in online interactions. The content provided by the online identity may be accessed and analyzed to determine interaction characteristics and reputation metrics for the online identity. Based on the reputation metrics, the online identity and/or entity (and content therefrom) may be filtered from further online interactions. In some aspects, interaction data may be stored in a data store. An interaction mapping component having access to the data store may analyze the data store data to determine mappings between online identities, entities and interactions. In at least one aspect, an opt-in certificate system may also be provided. The opt-in system may provide an online identity or entity a certificate to securely validate identity.

The invention relates to an electric linear motor for a transport system, the electric linear motor being formed by at least one linear stator rail with stator poles being located in a fixed correlation to an environment, and at least one mover co-acting and moving along the stator rail, the linear stator rail comprising at least one horizontal stator rail, having upper stator poles extending upwards from the horizontal stator rail and lower stator poles extending downwards from the horizontal stator rail. According to the invention at least one of the physical characteristic of the upper stator poles differs from that of the lower stator poles, as to cope with gravitational forces acting on the mover in normal direction of the horizontal stator rail.

A linear generator for generating electrical power from momentum of a vehicle, comprises a moving part and a stator. The moving part is a powered vehicle moving along a defined path and the stator is built along the defined path. Examples are trains and elevators, and the linear generator may be used to help with braking and at the same time prevent waste of the energy from the vehicle momentum.
