Publication number: 20240005020Abstract: A computer implemented method for tracking and securing user data, the method including providing a user data vault that stores user data, providing the user data to display on a user interface, collecting access rights and permission settings, storing the access rights on a blockchain consent network, and providing access to remote users. The system and methods utilize blockchain technology, encryption, and a novel data structure (e.g. consent tokens) that enhance the security, transparency, and user experience regarding user data collection.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: CONCORD TECHNOLOGIES INC.Inventors: Dashiell LAVINE, Paul LAWBAUGH, Cian MONTGOMERY

Publication number: 20230360087Abstract: The disclosure relates to securing and enabling user control of profiling data, blockchain-driven matching of users and advertiser-identified anonymous profiling data records of interest, and smart contracts encoded by blockchain for executing transactions. The system may include an anonymized database of profiling data, which is unlinked to any user. The system may implement a private blockchain to store user-defined settings that provide user control over whether and how the profiling data may be used. If a grant to use the data is received, a link is stored that allows the system to identify a user associated with the anonymous profiling data records. If the grant is revoked, the link may be removed. The system may also implement public blockchain technology to record a public information relating to grants, online marketing transactions, making them verifiable, immutable, and transparent for various stakeholders including advertisers, publishers, and users.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: Concord Technologies Inc.Inventors: Paul LAWBAUGH, Dashiell LAVINE

Patent number: 5404339Abstract: A marine seismic streamer cable retriever is activated promptly when the cable and its attached retriever exceed a pre-selected safe depth. In an alternative scenario, an electronics module in the cable retriever monitors the presence of through-cable communications traffic between a mother ship and the various sensors in the cable. If an interruption in communications traffic is detected, a clock starts a count-down and sends a warning to the operator aboard ship. At the end of a count-down period, absent prior operator intervention, the cable retriever is activated.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 1994Date of Patent: April 4, 1995Assignee: Concord Technologies Inc.Inventor: Jimmy R. Cole, Jr.
