  • Patent number: 11356276
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of mining a block of a distributed ledger. The methods include: receiving a block to be mined, the block including a header hash and a plurality of transactions; creating a first signature based on a first function, where inputs to the first function include the header hash and the plurality of transactions; and creating a second signature based on a second function, where an input to the second function is the first signature. In one example, the second function is a multiplicative inverse function and the method further includes creating the second signature that is a multiplicative inverse value of the first signature with respect to a first irreducible polynomial. The method additionally includes creating a chain of signatures, where each of the signatures is a multiplicative inverse value of a previous output with respect to a respective irreducible polynomial.

  • Patent number: 11351288
    Abstract: An artificial ligament prosthesis which is notable in that it comprises a layer totally or partly consisting of PCL fibres. The ligament prosthesis is a biodegradable and “biointegrable” artificial ligament which makes it possible to take away all the apprehensions and uncertainties due to non-degradable synthetic supports. It is a prosthetic structure inspired by and similar to the native tissue, which is biodegradable while being sterilisable. It can optionally be seeded in order to facilitate the formation of functional tissues with controlled cell and tissue activity, having the required mechanical properties. The prosthesis maybe slowly resorbable in order to be gradually replaced with a functional tissue identical to that of the native ligament.

  • Patent number: 11348026
    Abstract: Computational systems implement problem solving using hybrid digital/quantum computing approaches. A problem may be represented as a problem graph which is larger and/or has higher connectivity than a working and/or hardware graph of a quantum processor. A quantum processor may be used determine approximate solutions, which solutions are provided as initial states to one or more digital processors which may implement classical post-processing to generate improved solutions. Techniques for solving problems on extended, more-connected, and/or “virtual full yield” variations of the processor's actual working and/or hardware graphs are provided. A method of operation in a computational system comprising a quantum processor includes partitioning a problem graph into sub-problem graphs, and embedding a sub-problem graph onto the working graph of the quantum processor. The quantum processor and a non-quantum processor-based device generate partial samples.

  • Patent number: 11348024
    Abstract: A quantum processor is operable as a universal adiabatic quantum computing system. The quantum processor includes physical qubits, with at least a first and second communicative coupling available between pairs of qubits via an in-situ tunable superconducting capacitive coupler and an in-situ tunable superconducting inductive coupler, respectively. Tunable couplers provide diagonal and off-diagonal coupling. Compound Josephson junctions (CJJs) of the tunable couplers are responsive to a flux bias to tune a sign and magnitude of a sum of a capacitance of a fixed capacitor and a tunable capacitance which is mediated across a pair of coupling capacitors. The qubits may be hybrid qubits, operable in a flux regime or a charge regime. Qubits may include a pair of CJJs that interrupt a loop of material and which are separated by an island of superconducting material which is voltage biased with respect to a qubit body.
