  • Publication number: 20230252043
    Abstract: A method, terminal, and system for transmitting a file between multiple terminals is described. The method includes obtaining a picture, which is photographed by a file receiving end from a file sending end from a file sending end and includes a to-be-transmitted file, and performing image recognition on the obtained picture to determine the to-be-transmitted file of the file sending end, the picture of the to-be-transmitted file being displayed on a display interface of the file sending end. The method further includes determining a file path of the to-be-transmitted file according to the determined to-be-transmitted file, obtaining the to-be-transmitted file according to the file path of the to-be-transmitted file, and transmitting the to-be-transmitted file to the file receiving end.

  • Patent number: 10762516
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a trusted platform powered by a client-side company application that implements a Business Organizing Principle (“BOP”) for a company and distributed immutable ledger, which provides the company with secure transactions and transaction data. The application's Business Organizing Principle identifies the business components for a company (e.g., HR, marketing, suppliers, etc.) which the application identifies as core, medium-core, and non-core. The application can then suggest and link the business to other businesses on the network based on matching BOP components. The platform's scoring engine uses the ledger's trusted transactions to generate a BOP network score and “local score” to augment traditional thereby creating a quickly developed trusted ecosystem for horizontal B2B integration between not just businesses, but business components.

  • Publication number: 20070159116
    Abstract: A ballast according to the present invention operates in an ignition state, a warm-up state, and a steady state for igniting and powering a lamp. The ballast comprises an igniter that ignites the lamp during the ignition state and a switching power inverter, for example, a full bridge DC-AC inverter implemented with MOSFET switching transistors, that powers the lamp during the warm-up and steady states. The switching power inverter, which drives the igniter, operates at a first switching frequency during the ignition state and operates at a second switching frequency during the steady state. Preferably, the first switching frequency, which in one exemplary embodiment is in the kHz range, is higher than the second switching frequency.
