  • Patent number: 11973878
    Abstract: A comprehensive system for chain-of-custody for hardware devices and their components. Specifically, as the components, assemblies and the hardware device are manufactured and/or assembled, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are generated for each component, assembly and the overall hardware device that indicate that the component, assembly or hardware device is in a certified/verified good state (i.e., have not been tampered with). The NFTs are generated using measured authenticity characteristics (e.g., electro-magnetic, heat, weight, dimensions and the like) of a corresponding component, assembly or hardware device as at least a portion of the input to the hash algorithm. The NFTs are subsequently communicated to a distributed trust computing network at which the nodes converge to verify an authenticity and certifiable state of the NFT, and blocks of data are generated within distributed ledgers that store the verified NFT.

  • Publication number: 20240132025
    Abstract: Revving an engine may be helpful in various contexts, such as when servicing the vehicle. For example, in some types of services, a cleaning agent may be introduced into the intake and surrounding regions of an engine, and the engine may be revved to reduce a likelihood that the cleaning agent might puddle. In some instances, a device can be positioned within a vehicle interior and can be used to automatically rev the vehicle engine by depressing on the vehicle throttle.

  • Publication number: 20240092179
    Abstract: A method including detecting that a vehicle that may be propelled by an electric drive system having one or more motors disconnects or begins disconnecting from an off-board source of power while the one or more motors are being powered by the off-board source of power. The method may include supplanting a decreasing amount of a first electric energy supplied by the off-board source of power to the electric drive system with an amount of a second electric energy supplied by an onboard source of power to the electric drive system responsive to the detection of the disconnect from the off-board source of power.

  • Publication number: 20240073200
    Abstract: A system for communicating email messages using tokens receives a request to send an email message to a receiver. The email message is associated with a sender's email address. The system determines whether the sender's email address is associated with a token from a plurality of tokens stored in a token-email address mapping table. The system generates a particular token for the sender's email address in response to determining that the sender's email address is not associated with a token, where the particular token uniquely identifies the sender's email address. The system sends the email message using the particular token instead of the sender's email address, such that the sender's email address remains anonymous from the perspective of the receiver.
