  • Patent number: 11934496
    Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a secure copy of content associated with a non-fungible token (NFT) are disclosed. The system will receive a print request to print digital content that is associated with an NFT, access a blockchain to identify a current owner of the NFT, and generate a print job that with instructions to print the NFT content. If and only if the current owner of the NFT is the requesting entity, the system will print a unique authentication code with the digital content. The system will cause a print engine to print the digital content on a substrate or as a 3D object. In some embodiments, the system may be included in a print device that includes the print engine. Other aspects include a system that verifies whether a printed copy of content is an authorized copy, using the unique authentication code and the NFT described above.

  • Patent number: 11921732
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method includes determining a position for a search query and a position for each audience record from multiple audience records in an embedding space. The method further includes receiving multiple device records, each associated with an audience record. The method further includes determining multiple keywords, each associated with an audience record and determining a position for each keyword in the embedding space. The method further includes calculating a first distance between the position of the search query in the embedding space and the position of each audience record in the embedding space. The method further includes calculating a second distance between the position of the search query in the embedding space and the position of each keyword in the embedding space. The method further includes ranking each audience record based on the first distance and the second distance.

  • Patent number: 11709105
    Abstract: A system for detecting forces on and measuring deformation of an anthropomorphic test device (ATD) includes a plurality of body parts and at least one optical fiber supported by and in contact with at least one of the body parts. The body parts form the ATD and simulate at least a part of a human body and the articulation of the human body. The optical fiber extends between a first end and a second end and comprises a plurality of sensors disposed between the ends. An emitter is in communication with the optical fiber for emitting a light having a predetermined band of wavelengths through the optical fiber that is reflected by the sensors and an interrogator is in communication with the optical fiber for detecting the reflected light from the sensor such that changes to the reflected light indicate a strain on the at least one body part.

  • Patent number: 11565168
    Abstract: A skateboard system includes a first suspension member having first through third portions, each portion having a largest flat planar surface. The first portion includes a plurality of mount holes to mount it with a skateboard deck. The largest flat planar surface of the second portion is angled between fifteen and sixty degrees relative to the largest flat planar surface of the first portion and relative to the deck. The largest flat planar surface of the third portion is angled between fifteen and eighty degrees relative to the largest flat planar surface of the second portion. The third portion includes at least one opening to mount a truck assembly and/or a hanger with the third portion. The first suspension member flexes, such that an angle between the largest flat planar surface of the second portion and the deck decreases, in response to a first downward force on the deck.
