Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling and implementing a concurrent multi-agent BDI architecture to control complex systems in real time and exhibiting high parallelism. The system comprises BDI agent modules storing a BDI state of the whole system, an emotional and an internal the BDI agent modules and a world model. Each BDI agent module concurrently evaluates the activation of its potential goals and prioritizes its intentions. Each BDI agent module may be hardware-implemented, software-implemented or hybrid-domain-implemented, depending on whether they are executed on application-specific hardware, general purpose hardware or a combination thereof. The domain of each BDI agent might be migrated in real time during operation, optimizing resources and improving performance.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for providing digital promotions using digital collectibles. One example method includes receiving an image file from a client application associated with a particular user profile. Image recognition is performed on the image file to identify at least one product associated with a digital collectible promotion. A digital collectible associated with the at least one product is identified. A first offer is transmitted, for presentation in the client application, for an availability of the digital collectible upon a transaction including the at least one product. An indication of a transaction associated with the particular user profile that includes the at least one product is received, from a merchant. Instructions to enable at least one digital collectible at the client application for the particular user profile are transmitted, in response to the transaction.

Abstract: A method/process is provided for extracting and processing sugarcane juice from sugarcane stalks to produce a shelf-stable natural juice product preserving policosanols naturally-occurring in raw sugarcane sticks. The method includes steps of: providing sugarcane stalks having a high sucrose level; extracting sugarcane juice from the sugarcane stalks using a roller mill apparatus; filtering the extracted sugarcane juice through a screen filter; stabilizing the pH of the juice in a non-acidic solution of calcium hydroxide to a pH level in the range of 7.4 to 7.6; flocculating the sugarcane juice with a mixture of water and at least one natural flocculate product; evaporating the sugarcane juice to form a sugarcane juice concentrate having a Brix in the range of 50° Bx to 60° Bx; and extracting the sugarcane juice concentrate from the evaporator, while maintaining a maximum sugarcane juice temperature never exceeding 70° C. throughout the process.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for secure data sharing. The method comprises: storing, by a data owner or an entity authorized by the data owner, via a data management user interface, in a decentralized data storage, data in an encrypted format; storing, via the data management user interface, in a blockchain, information indicating the data owner and a reference to the data stored in the decentralized data storage; and storing, by the data owner, via the data management user interface, in the blockchain, information indicating consent given to one or more authorized users for using the data.

Abstract: A method for processing sugarcane juice from raw sugarcane stalks to produce various forms of a natural sugarcane juice product preserves policosanols naturally occurring in the raw sugarcane stalks, resulting in policosanol-rich natural sugarcane juice-based products such as a drinking beverage, a concentrated sweetening agent, and a nutraceutical product. The method may include steps of providing sugarcane stalks having high policosanol concentrations; extracting sugarcane juice from the sugarcane stalks via a series of roller mills; filtering the extracted sugarcane juice; stabilizing the pH of the juice in a non-acidic solution of calcium hydroxide; flocculating the sugarcane juice to remove undesirable impurities; optionally, evaporating the sugarcane juice to form a policosanol-rich sugarcane juice concentrate and extracting the sugarcane juice concentrate from the evaporator.
