Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that provide a novel framework for the creation, management and electronic transfer of electronic, machine-readable data as tangible digital assets accessible from a network storage (e.g., blockchain, for example), which can be utilized by entities via native and/or third party software. The disclosed framework can operate by transforming data in a raw static format to a liquid format through standardization and factorization. The data can be standardized via tags associated with governance and policy frameworks, as well as infrastructure requirements. In some embodiments, the (tagged) data can be factorized to create data (or containers, data models or collections of containers/models) as labeled, intelligent data. And, the framework can then electronically transfer the labeled data. As a result, capabilities of data liquidity can be achieved via a web-agnostic storage and framework accessible through smart contracts.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that provide a novel electronic transfer framework that enables the sharing, control and hosting of electronic information via existing banking (or payment) rails. The disclosed framework can realize a newly formed, scalable relational-based database system that enables entities and systems to realize novel mechanisms for mapping between and among each other. HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) iterations can be leveraged over the banking rails so as to enable operational node-based engagements between entities via the secure banking rails. Accordingly, the disclosed systems and methods enable the usage of the banking rails payment gateway logic to control and/or enable the access to entity's data. Therefore, in addition to the newly created ways of handling and processing data, the disclosed framework can evidence an increase in the computational efficiency online systems operate, while maintaining a security and governance level compliant with applied policies.

Abstract: A system for fabricating an acoustic metamaterial is provided. In an embodiment, a system for fabricating an acoustic metamaterial includes determining at least one tuned physical property for each of a plurality of micro-resonators according to a desired acoustic property of the acoustic metamaterial. For a particular physical property, a value of the tuned physical property for at least one of the plurality of micro-resonators is different from a value of the tuned physical property for at least one other of the plurality of micro-resonators. The system also includes an additively manufacturing device configured to form the acoustic metamaterial such that the acoustic metamaterial comprises a first structure and the plurality of micro-resonators embedded within the first structure. Forming the acoustic metamaterial is performed such that an actual physical property of each of the plurality of micro-resonators is equal to a corresponding tuned physical property for each of the plurality of micro-resonators.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for attenuating acoustic waves is provided. A lattice is formed with a plurality of support struts. A plurality of resonating struts are formed extending between the support struts, wherein the resonating struts are configured to attenuate acoustic waves within a predetermined range of frequencies while allowing acoustic waves outside the predetermined range of frequencies to pass through the resonant structure unattenuated. The resonant structure is interposed between two bodies to isolate one body from acoustic waves from the other body over the predetermined range of frequencies.

Abstract: A proportional pressure controller includes a body having inlet, outlet, and exhaust ports. A fill valve communicates with pressurized fluid in the inlet port. A dump valve communicates with pressurized fluid from the fill valve. An inlet poppet valve opens by pressurized fluid through the fill valve. An exhaust poppet valve when closed isolates pressurized fluid from the exhaust port. An outlet flow passage communicates with pressurized fluid when the inlet poppet valve is open, and communicates with the outlet port and an exhaust/outlet common passage. A fill inlet communicates between the inlet passage and fill valve, and is isolated from the outlet flow passage, exhaust/outlet common passage, and outlet and exhaust ports in all operating conditions of the controller.
