  • Patent number: 11750604
    Abstract: An object is to provide an information providing system and an information providing method in which an information providing device can provide information personalized for a user without an input of identification information of the user into the information providing device. A server device receives, from a terminal device that has acquired device identification information identifying the information providing device, the device identification information and user identification information identifying a user. The server device transmits information for the user identified by the user identification information to the information providing device identified by the device identification information. The information providing device receives the information for the user. The information providing device provides information based on the information for the user.

  • Publication number: 20230085677
    Abstract: A system that allows owners of Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to access an NFT via a physical item. The physical item may include authenticating information that enables the system to verify ownership of an NFT that is maintained in a remote database, such as a blockchain ledger. The item thus enables the owner to quickly and securely access the digital asset associated with the NFT via a reader, such as a smart phone or other computing device. The system provides a method for binding an NFT to the physical item, and a corresponding method for accessing the NFT and the related digital asset later using the physical item.

  • Publication number: 20190101297
    Abstract: An apparatus and system for efficiently and safely transferring heat from a masonry heater to an external heating device using coil pipes and a liquid circulation pump. Circulation of a heat transfer liquid in the apparatus and system is controlled based on the measured temperature of the heat transfer liquid in the coil pipe on a return side of the masonry heater. Two additional sensors near the external heating device are used to control the flow rate of the circulation of the heat transfer liquid in the apparatus and system, thereby controlling the amount of heat actually transferred to the external heating device.

  • Publication number: 20070284843
    Abstract: A therapeutic tricycle for use by children with developmental disabilities includes both hand pedals and foot pedals connected by a drive chain. The foot pedals are connected to a fork tube, partially enclosed within a support tube and driven by a foot pedal sprocket. The hand pedals are supported by a head tube, slidably received within the fork tube and attached to a hand pedal sprocket. A chain tension adjustment assembly permits adjustment of the drive chain tension. A slot in the bottom of the head tube engages a transverse within the fork tube so the head tube and the fork tube remain in fixed relationship, thereby holding the chain sprockets in co-planar alignment.
