  • Patent number: 11075757
    Abstract: A system may receive a request to perform a token exchange between a first account and a second account. A selected token for the token exchange may be associated with the first account. A hash of the selected token may be stored on a furnisher blockchain of a first distributed ledger. The system may generate a new token and a hash of the new token. The system may generate a shielded exchange instruction, the shielded exchange instruction comprising the hash of the new token and a zero-knowledge proof, wherein the zero-knowledge proof is indicative of the selected token being associated with the first account. The system may submit the shielded exchange instruction to a distributed ledger technology platform to cause execution of a furnisher smart contract and a receiver smart contract. Each of the smart contracts are configured to separately verify the zero-knowledge proof and update corresponding blockchains to consummate and record the token exchange.

  • Patent number: 11075959
    Abstract: A system includes a security controller located within a central-zone in communication with a provisioned agent operating on an edge-zone device. The security controller may implement controller-blind security control on the edge-zone device by making security authorization determinations using a secure-operation confidence analysis performed by the provisioned agent. The provisioned agent, operating within the edge-zone, may have access to un-sanitized data, which may be unavailable to the security controller in the central-zone. The security controller may provide condition-descriptors via a secure-operation confidence assignment matrix. Using the condition-descriptors, the provisioned agent determine feedback, which may include a secure-operation confidence coefficient, based on the un-sanitized data to which the security controller is blind.

  • Patent number: 11074775
    Abstract: A system may facilitate distributed ledger technology (DLT) record based (for example, blockchain-based) voting. A voter may distribute vote-value to answers using committed tokens that bind the voter to a particular vote-value without divulging the particular vote value while in a cryptographic form. The voter may distribute committed tokens to multiple answers. In some cases, the distribution of the committed tokens to multiple answers may frustrate attempts to determine the one or more targets to which the voter delivers a non-null vote-value.

  • Patent number: 11055090
    Abstract: A component management platform includes a component library that stores software components to be incorporated into applications, such as components that have been optimized for efficient performance, reliability, and/or other aspects. The platform also provides a workspace that is accessed to create an application that includes component(s) stored in the component library. In some instances, a developer modifies component when incorporating the component into their application. The platform enables the developer to upload the modified version of the component, which is stored in the component library and published, through the platform, to enable others to incorporate the modified version of the component into their application projects. In some implementations, the modified version is tested for backward compatibility with previous versions of the component, and to verify that the modified version does not include any bugs.

  • Patent number: 11048981
    Abstract: A piping and instrumentation planning and maintenance system includes an input/output (I/O) interface for receiving a target piping and instrumentation diagram (PID) from a document source system; a processor in communication with the I/O interface; and non-transitory computer readable media in communication with the processor. The non-transitory computer readable media store instruction code, which when executed by the processor, causes the processor to classify entities and properties thereof within the target PID. The entities include one or more assets and interconnections therebetween specified in the PID. The processor compares the classified entities to a knowledge base that represents relationships between a plurality of assets and interconnections between the assets. The processor then determines, based on the comparison, whether the assets in the target PID are interconnected correctly.

  • Patent number: 11048499
    Abstract: A system includes: a physical communication interface, hardware data storage, and validation circuitry. The validation circuitry may load an infrastructure definition and, based on the enablement flag, determine whether the test definition is enabled or non-enabled. The validation circuitry may further exclude the test definition when the test definition is not enabled, and report an error to an operator interface display when the test definition was excluded. The validation circuitry may further generate a call to the serverless infrastructure provider when the test definition is enabled, and receive a resource description in response. The validation circuitry may terminate the provisioned resource when the expected configuration is not included within the resource description. The validation circuitry may mark the infrastructure definition as validated when the expected configuration is included within the resource description.
