Patent number: 10534678Abstract: A computer-implemented method to store data may include writing data to at least one of a database or one or more local storage devices. The method may also include generating redundancy information for the data. The method may also include writing the redundancy information to at least one of a remote storage device or a removable storage device.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Brilliant Points, Inc.Inventors: Christopher G. Hansen, Karl Christopher Hansen

Patent number: 10433117Abstract: A method may include obtaining from a sensor coupled to an object, a first indicator of a first location of the object at a first time period; obtaining a second indicator of the first location of the object at the first time period; confirming the first location of the object at the first time period by comparing the first and second indicators to create a first record; storing the first record; obtaining, a third indicator of a second location of the object at a second time period; storing a second record comprising the third indicator of the second location; linking the first and second records to create an unalterable third record of a route of the object, the route of the object including at least the first and second locations; encrypting the unalterable third record; and sending the encrypted unalterable third record to a third party.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2019Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Brilliant Points, Inc.Inventor: Christopher G.

Patent number: 10318158Abstract: Systems and methods for storing and/or communicating digital data associated with amplitudes and phases of a virtual periodic waveform having a designated period between components include, in one embodiment, circuitry that converts a first amplitude and a first phase to a first corresponding voltage or current and applies the first corresponding voltage or current to a first one of the plurality of components, such as conductors connecting integrated circuit chips or capacitors of a DRAM device, and converts the first amplitude and the first phase to (n?1) corresponding voltages or currents based on amplitudes of the periodic waveform phase shifted by about m*(360/n) relative to the first phase where m is indexed from one to (n?1) and applies each corresponding voltage or current to an associated component. Decoding is performed by comparing magnitudes of the component signals relative to one another rather that to a plurality of thresholds.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2013Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: BRILLIANT POINTS, INC.Inventors: Karl Christopher Hansen, Christopher Glenn Hansen

Patent number: 10187754Abstract: A method may include obtaining a first indicator of a first location of a user at a first time; identifying the user at the first location at the first time; obtaining a second indicator of the first location of the user at the first time; confirming the first location of the user at the first time by comparing the first and second indicator; storing the first record; obtaining a first indicator of a second location of the user at a second time; identifying the user at a second location at the second time; storing a second record, the second record comprising the second indicator of the second location, a second indication of the second time, and a second indication of the identity of the user at the second location at the second time; and linking the first and second records to create an unalterable alibi of the user.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2018Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Brilliant Points, Inc.Inventor: Christopher G. Hansen

Patent number: 8860594Abstract: Systems and methods for communicating digital data associated with amplitudes and phases of a virtual periodic waveform having a designated period between components connected by n conductors include, in one embodiment, circuitry that converts a first amplitude and a first phase to a first corresponding voltage or current and applies the first corresponding voltage or current to a first one of the plurality of conductors, and converts the first amplitude and the first phase to (n?1) corresponding voltages or currents based on amplitudes of the periodic waveform phase shifted by about m*(360/n) relative to the first phase where m is indexed from one to (n?1) and applies each corresponding voltage or current to an associated conductor of the plurality of conductors. The systems and methods are particularly suited for reducing the number of conductors to obtain a desired I/O data rate/throughput for integrated circuit chips and wired networks.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Brilliant Points, Inc.Inventor: Karl Christopher Hansen
