Abstract: A method of an authentication server may include receiving, from a recipient computer system, recipient metadata comprising recipient information from the recipient computing system and a recipient network address. Access to the encrypted payload is authenticated by the recipient computer system using the recipient metadata. A response is sent to the recipient computer system after authenticating the recipient computer system. The recipient computer system decrypts the encrypted payload to access the payload in response to receiving the response.

Abstract: An example implementation includes a device that includes a base infrastructure inspection unit and a plurality of modular sensor units attached to the base infrastructure inspection unit. The base infrastructure inspection unit includes a set of one or more processors and a memory device having code executable by the one or more processors. The executable code synchronizes the plurality of sensor units, captures two or more data streams of infrastructure inspection data, combines the data with metadata indicating synchronization between respective ones of the plurality of sensor units, and provides combined metadata and infrastructure inspection data for inclusion in a photorealistic image based on a three-dimensional (3D) model of the infrastructure.

Abstract: A method includes logging into a server and sending geolocation information to the server by a first device. The first device requests rights to decrypt a secure data file, and in response, the server sends a machine-readable optical label to the first device. The first device displays the machine-readable optical label. A second device logs into the server, and scans the machine-readable optical label displayed by the first device to create a scanned image. The second device decodes data from the scanned image to form decoded data. Geolocation information of the second device and the decoded data are submitted to the server. The decoded data and the geolocation information are validated by the server, and in response to successfully validating the geolocation information, a link completion status indicator is sent to the second device, and information to decrypt the secure data file is sent to the first device.

Abstract: In one form, a method for a client to conduct a secure communication with a server includes negotiating a selected cryptographic algorithm for use in a new session with the server. A new server public key and the selected cryptographic algorithm is received from the server a using a data payload signed by an embedded key pair. A new client key pair including a new client public key and a new client private key is generated using the selected cryptographic algorithm. The new client public key is sent to the server. At least one server data payload is received from the server during the new session encrypted by a new session key generated from the new client public key.

Abstract: A carbon dioxide capture facility is disclosed comprising packing formed as a slab, and at least one liquid source. The slab has opposed dominant faces, the opposed dominant faces being at least partially wind penetrable to allow wind to flow through the packing. The at least one liquid source is oriented to direct carbon dioxide absorbent liquid into the packing to flow through the slab. The slab is disposed in a wind flow that has a non-zero incident angle with one of the opposed dominant faces. A method of carbon dioxide capture is also disclosed. Carbon dioxide absorbing liquid is applied into packing in a series of pulses. A gas containing carbon dioxide is flowed through the packing to at least partially absorb the carbon dioxide from the gas into the carbon dioxide absorbing liquid.

Abstract: Methods are described for a data creator to securely send a data payload to another device in a transient symmetric key technology (TSKT) system, and for the other device to securely receive the payload data. One method includes receiving a first seed and a formula from a command and control server. A second seed is generated, and the first seed and the second seed are combined using the formula to create a data seed. A first key is generated using the first seed, and the second seed is encrypted using the first key to form an encrypted second seed. A second key is generated using the data seed, and the data payload is encrypted using the second key to form an encrypted data payload. The encrypted data payload and the encrypted second seed are combined in a secure container, and subsequently all keys and seeds and the formula are destroyed.

Abstract: A method treating inflammation is described. The method includes using cannabidiol in an ingestible solution to naturally activate the body's endocannabinoid system and encourage activation of the cannabinoid receptors. The method may include formulating the ingestible solution, extracting cannabidiol in its natural form from a plant, and ingesting the solution into the body. The solution may include other additives that are simply mixed in with the cannabidiol. No adjustments to the natural molecular structure of the ingredients occurs.
