Publication number: 20230342789Abstract: A method for seamlessly and automatically granting tailored permission for use and transference of Internet data between databases with comprehensive consent is described. The method employs a graph language such as JSON-LD to integrate and employ cryptographically signed Information Sharing Agreements (ISA) between parties. Data is serialized to be easily transferred between databases when appropriate permission is obtained. Granular data exchange under usage control contacts can be automated among any number of parties on the Internet. As such, the method provides a means by which users may control not only what may be done with their data, but to what entity or entities the data may be transferred. Advertisements may then be served to the user according to his or her preferences as defined within a web or desktop app, which is then applied to all related ad publishers publishing to the domains visited by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: James Fournier, Victor Grey

Publication number: 20220337424Abstract: A method for facilitating decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) includes, using one or more computer processors, receiving, from each of a plurality of parties, one or more inputs. Based on the inputs a contract is established between and among the parties providing governance for a DAO. A hash of the contract is generated. Cryptographic signatures are added to the hash from each party, establishing a cryptographically signed hash validating a finalized contract, the cryptographically signed hash including the hash and the cryptographic signatures. The cryptographically signed hash is provided to each of the parties. The finalized contract or an additional contract may allow the parties to purchase and sell tokens associated with the DAO using software agents. Apparatuses for facilitating DAOs are configured for performing the methods. In implementations the contract facilitates ownership and exchange of one or more nonfungible tokens (NFTs) instead of or in addition to governing a DAO.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: James Fournier, Victor Grey, Jared Grippe

Publication number: 20160300223Abstract: An electronic marketplace system that protects data transfers across disparate servers or networks can include communication devices that couple system users to a mesh network of public key identity servers and/or link contract servers that are interconnected. The public key identity servers collectively contain a global last-closed ledger of public encryption keys for system users, and verify users using the public keys by accessing local ledgers or asking other identity servers for the public keys. A link contract server provides a link contract regarding the allowed use of the transferred protected data, and provides for a data transfer between the parties after all have agreed thereto. The link contract can be in JSON format in an HTTP or HTTPS header. Users can submit requests to link contract servers, and requests can be searched by vendors prior to proposing a link contract.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2015Publication date: October 13, 2016Inventors: Victor Grey, James Fournier

Publication number: 20050223470Abstract: The present invention is a protective sleeve of left and right design to be worn on the respective user's forearms. The purpose of the sleeve is to protect the wearer from electrical shock while working on electrical power panels, where exposed electrical conductors are present. The sleeves allow the technician to make contact with live electrical conductors, and prevent the arms from making contact with any grounded surfaces nearby. This is essential in the prevention of electrical shock. In the telecommunications industry, technicians routinely work directly with live conductors; therefore insulating sleeves for protecting the arms, such as those of the present invention are an important part of any electrician's tool box. The present invention is fully adjustable from small to large sized arms using the uniquely flexible and adjustable Velcro™ fastening system. Additionally, the Velcro™ fastening system allows the technician to adjust the sleeve snuggly around the arm to prevent slippage and movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2004Publication date: October 13, 2005Inventor: James Fournier
