  • Publication number: 20240095734
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are presented for an Embedded Data Transaction Exchange Platform (EDT-X) that generates marker data about relevant data of a transaction, and reliably stores the marker data in a permanent data storage, such as a block chain distributed ledger. The EDT-X platform does not generate the actual information that explains who was involved in the transaction or what the contents of the transaction were, but rather generates marker data that can reliably lead to tracing back to that information. The marker data may be permanently stored in a permanent data storage entity, such as a block chain distributed ledger. The data about the content of the transaction may be anonymously stored in a secure database, and the marker data pointing to the content of the transaction may be retrieved from the block chain distributed ledger to look up where the content data is stored in the secure database.

  • Publication number: 20240086742
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for creating and executing a decision network that includes a number of stations configured to operate with respect to an instance of a document, container or other object. A user interface may be presented to a user that includes selectable options for configuring and connecting stations within the decision network, and for establishing executable logic for each station to modify or create data within fields of a container instance. Different stations in the decision network may be assigned different permissions with respect to the container. Individual stations in the decision network may be configured to determine a prediction or probability based on data accessible to the given station, where the prediction or probability of one station may be based in part on an earlier prediction or probability determined at another station of the decision network.

  • Patent number: 11120439
    Abstract: A server includes a memory and a message processor. The memory stores a data record that includes a credential stored in association with an access restriction indicator, and further includes a cryptographic key. The processor is configured to receive from a network device an access request that includes the credential and a token. The token includes a first data layer and a second data layer that incorporates the first data layer and is encrypted with the cryptographic key. The processor is configured to determine that, prior to the access request, the credential was stored in the data record in association with the access restriction indicator; recover the first data layer from the token by (i) locating the cryptographic key in the data record, and (ii) decrypting the second encrypted data layer with the cryptographic key. The processor is configured to provide the network device with the first data layer.

  • Patent number: 10683576
    Abstract: An additive comprising one or more C3-C12 hydroxycarboxylic acids and/or one or more C3-C12 hydroxycarboxylic acid salts may be added to an aqueous system having galvanized metallurgy or a carbon steel surface in an effective amount to passivate a galvanized coating on the metallurgy or to decrease white rust formation or other types of corrosion upon the galvanized metallurgy or carbon steel surface in an aqueous system. In a non-limiting embodiment, the C3-C12 hydroxycarboxylic acid or the C3-C12 hydroxycarboxylic acid salt additive may utilize the zinc in the galvanized coating to achieve passivation. The passivation may occur while the system is shut down or in service. The aqueous system may be or include a cooling tower, a cooling water system, and combinations thereof. The additive may be used with or in the absence of a phosphorous-containing compound.
