Abstract: A system supports asset transfers among blockchains of differing distributed ledger technologies using interop circuitry. The interop circuitry may receive asset permissions from origin and target participant circuitry. The asset permissions may support transfer of an asset from an origin blockchain to a target blockchain. The interop circuitry, acting on behalf of the origin and target participant circuitry, locks an asset on the origin blockchain. Then the interop circuitry creates the asset on the target blockchain. The locking of the asset on the origin blockchain may prevent a double-expend opportunity, where the asset can be redeemed on the origin blockchain and on the target blockchain.

Abstract: A system includes a security controller located within a central-zone in communication with a provisioned agent operating on an edge-zone device. The security controller may implement controller-blind security control on the edge-zone device by making security authorization determinations using a secure-operation confidence analysis performed by the provisioned agent. The provisioned agent, operating within the edge-zone, may have access to un-sanitized data, which may be unavailable to the security controller in the central-zone. The provisioned agent may access condition-descriptors via a secure-operation confidence assignment matrix. Using the condition-descriptors, the provisioned agent determine feedback, which may include a secure-operation confidence coefficient, based on the un-sanitized data to which the security controller is blind.

Abstract: A system includes a display control prime located within a central-zone in communication with a provisioned agent operating on an edge-zone device. The display control prime may implement prime-blind open-loop pixel-state control on the edge-zone device by executing pixel-state commands via the provisioned agent. The provisioned agent, operating within the edge-zone, may have access to un-sanitized data, which may be unavailable to the display control prime in the central-zone. The display control prime may provide conditional pixel-state commands via a pixel-state control parameter matrix. The provisioned agent may identify an operative pixel-state command from among the conditional pixel-state commands based on the un-sanitized data to which the display control prime is blind.

Abstract: Systems and methods for active state synchronization between distributed ledger technology (DLT) platforms are provided. A system may store an origin blockchain compliant with an origin DLT. The system may further store a target blockchain compliant with a target DLT. The target DLT may be different from the origin DLT. The system may include a DLT object synchronizer with access to the origin blockchain and the target blockchain. The DLT object synchronizer may receive, from an exchange node, a request to synchronize an origin instance of a DLT object between the origin blockchain and the target blockchain. The DLT object synchronizer may select a target instance of the DLT object on the target blockchain. The DLT object synchronizer may format origin data from the origin instance for compliance with the target DLT. The DLT object synchronizer may synchronize the origin instance and the target instance.

Abstract: A participant node of a distributed ledger network may identify a distributed federated learning (DFL) smart contract stored on a blockchain. The DFL smart contract may include an aggregation sequence. The aggregation sequence may include an ordered sequence of participant node identifiers. The participant node may generate a trained model by training a global model with training data. The participant node may detect, on the blockchain, a first transition token indicative of a first model previously aggregated by another participant node. The participant node may receive the first model. The participant node may aggregate the first model with the trained model to generate a second model. The participant node may store, on the blockchain, a second transition token indicative of the second model. A successor node identified in the aggregation sequence may further aggregate the second model with an additional model in response to detection of the second transition token.

Abstract: In some examples, distributed ledger technology and artificial intelligence-based energy trading may include ascertaining energy data that includes historical weather data for a plurality of units, future climate forecast data, household behavioral energy data, and distributed ledger technology energy marketplace data. Based on a specified time interval, a specified future time duration may be divided to generate a plurality of specified divided future time durations to determine a price of energy. A trading recommendation may be generated for a time during the specified future time duration to buy the energy from a distributed ledger technology energy marketplace, and/or another time during the specified future time duration to sell the energy to the distributed ledger technology energy marketplace. Further, instructions to implement the recommendation may be generated to buy the energy and/or sell the energy.
