  • Patent number: 11552950
    Abstract: A system supports asset transfers among blockchains of differing distributed ledger technologies using interop circuitry. The interop circuitry may receive asset permissions from origin and target participant circuitry. The asset permissions may support transfer of an asset from an origin blockchain to a target blockchain. The interop circuitry, acting on behalf of the origin and target participant circuitry, locks an asset on the origin blockchain. Then the interop circuitry creates the asset on the target blockchain. The locking of the asset on the origin blockchain may prevent a double-expend opportunity, where the asset can be redeemed on the origin blockchain and on the target blockchain.

  • Patent number: 11551204
    Abstract: A system supports symmetric release of cryptologically-locked asset transactions. A leading exchange party and a reciprocal exchange party establish, at least in part, a peer challenge in a pre-exchange proposal. The reciprocal party uses the peer challenge to lock a cryptologically-locked asset transaction. The solution to the peer challenge corresponds to an exchange key controlled by the leading exchange party. After establishment of the cryptologically-locked asset transaction, the leading party may request that exchange logic initiate release of the cryptologically-locked asset transaction. In response to the request, the exchange logic may execute a symmetric release of the exchange key and/or signature to the reciprocal exchange party and cryptologically-locked asset transaction (such that the asset is transferred to the leading exchange party).

  • Patent number: 11552935
    Abstract: A system includes circuitry for rewriting blockchains in a non-tamper-evident or tamper-evident operation using a key secret held in portions by multiple individually untrusted parties. The blockchains may include a series of blocks secured by integrity codes that may prevent non-tamper-evident rewrites by non-trusted parties that are not in possession of the key secret or individually-untrusted parties in possession of only a portion of the key secret. In some cases, multiple individually-untrusted parties may combine their portions into the key secret. As a group, the multiple individually-untrusted parties may perform non-tamper-evident operation with respect to at least one integrity code within the blockchain.

  • Publication number: 20220414389
    Abstract: An automatic artwork review system validates an artwork or a product label based on a received label specification document. Text extracted from the product label is chunked into sentences and words. Character-wise comparison is executed to identify the best match text from the label specification document for the sentence chunks from the product label. If the corresponding best match texts bears a similarity higher than a predetermined threshold to selected text including one or more sentence chunks, no errors are raised. If the similarity of the best match text to the selected text is not higher than the predetermined threshold, the specific errors occurring in the selected text and the particular portions where such errors are present are identified. The information regarding the errors can be output via one or more of an output user interface or a label compliance report.

  • Patent number: 11531829
    Abstract: An automatic image annotation system receives a reference image with one or more parts annotated along with one or more query images and automatically identifies portions from the query images that are similar to the annotated parts of the reference image. The S-matrices of the reference image and the query images are obtained via singular value decomposition (SVD). Lower-dimensional images are also obtained for the reference image and the query images using a pre-trained deep learning model. The S-matrices and the lower-dimensional images of the corresponding images are combined to generate vector representations. A distance metric is calculated for the vector representation of the reference image with that of the query image. A preliminary output image with a preliminary annotation is initially generated. The preliminary annotation is further optimized to generate an optimized annotation that adequately covers the region of interest (ROI).

  • Patent number: 11531328
    Abstract: In some implementations, a control system may obtain historical data associated with usage of a distillation column during a historical time period. The control system may configure a prediction model to monitor the distillation column for a hazardous condition. The prediction model may be trained based on training data that is associated with occurrences of the hazardous condition. The control system may monitor, using the prediction model, the distillation column to determine a probability that the distillation column experiences the hazardous condition within a threshold time period. The prediction model may be configured to determine the probability based on measurements from a set of sensors of the distillation column. The control system may perform, based on the probability satisfying a probability threshold, an action associated with the distillation column to reduce a likelihood that the distillation column experiences the hazardous condition within the threshold time period.
