  • Patent number: 11968265
    Abstract: Systems and methods for asynchronous API-driven external application services for blockchain are provided. The blockchain may store profile data that permits asynchronous communications and data sharing among a plurality of trusted users, and an application server layer may act as a gateway to a blockchain system to selectively provide limited access to external application services to operate upon the blockchain data.

  • Publication number: 20240068238
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to roofing products, for example, suitable for use covering and protecting the roofs of structures. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a roofing product including an upper section and an exposed section. The roofing product includes a substrate having a top surface and a bottom surface, and a plurality of zones of roofing granules disposed on the top surface of the substrate. The plurality of zones includes first, second and third zones within the exposed section. The first zone includes a first collection of algae-resistant roofing granules and has a first algae-resistance intensity. The second zone includes a second collection of algae-resistant roofing granules and has a second algae-resistance intensity. The third zone has a third algae-resistance intensity that is different from the first algae-resistance intensity.

  • Patent number: 7211749
    Abstract: An electrical disconnect locking device which can be installed at the weather head of a dwelling in order to connect and disconnect electrical flow from a power source to a dwelling. The locking device comprises a housing having rotating plates than can be rotated in a first direction to matingly engage a pair of female couplings such that electrical current flows freely and that can be rotated in a second opposite direction away from the pair of female couplings such that electrical current is disconnected. The locking device includes a unique key member which is configured to engage a rotating shaft which is in connection with the rotating plates. The use of the unique key member prevents unauthorized access to the locking device.

  • Publication number: 20040256206
    Abstract: An in-line method and apparatus for making or breaking an electrical connection between a load circuit and a power source and locking same. This apparatus comprises a tamper proof housing with rotating plates that can be manually or electronically activated so as to connect or disconnect electrical current. When the rotating plates are locked in the contact position, the current flows freely. When the plates are rotated 90 degrees, the current is interrupted and locked.

  • Patent number: 4204550
    Abstract: A holder for a flat circular filter attached to a smoking machine is provided with a rotatable support for the filter pad. The smoke inlet and suction outlet for the filter holder are offset from the center of the pad and holder and are in matching positions at opposite faces of the pad. At the initiation of each puff, a rotator is synchronized to turn the support and pad through a predetermined arc so that the smoke particulates are spread along said arc of the filter pad. The products of an individual puff are thus positioned for the study of puff fractions. Multiple puffs may be handled on one pad.
