Publication number: 20240113884Abstract: Systems and methods enable a marketplace system to display, in an interface accessible to a user, first digital tokens maintained in a first token-holding data structure of a first token-holding data structure provider of a blockchain network. A selection of a second token-holding data structure provider and a selection of a second token-holding data structure associated with the second token-holding data structure provider may be received from the user. An authentication message may be received, the authentication message including encrypted information which may be decrypted to extract information for authentication of the user as owner of the second token-holding data structure. Upon authentication, a link to the second token-holding data structure may be established, and information about second digital tokens maintained in the second token-holding data structure may be received via the link to display the first digital tokens and the second digital tokens in the interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Williams PERKINS, Kaleb PHILLIPS, Tanner LARSSON, Suraj PAI

Publication number: 20230300183Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to receive an indication that a moment, such as an anchor, is to be positioned at a first location on a webpage, via code embedded in the webpage. A content specification associated with the ancor is received. An interaction rule associated with the anchor is received that specifies that content specified by the content specification is to be displayed at least partly in response to a specified user interaction with the webpage. Code is automatically generated configured to cause the anchor to be located at the first location when accessed by a user browser, wherein, at least partly in response to a user browser accessing the first webpage, and the first user interacting with the webpage in a manner that satisfies the interaction rule, the content specified by the content specification is rendered.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Jason Tyler Craparo, Andrew Dale Colagreco, Rachel Ann Costantino, Nolan William Perkins

Patent number: 10037829Abstract: The leaves of a multi-leaf collimator can be driven more easily and hence more quickly if they are supported on a ball-race instead of in a sliding groove. A recirculating path is preferred, in which the rolling elements of the ball-race support the leaf over part of their path and then return to a start of the path. In addition, the rolling elements could be driven by a drive screw in order to drive the leaf.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2014Date of Patent: July 31, 2018Assignee: ELEKTA ABInventor: Clifford William Perkins
