  • Publication number: 20240163104
    Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes selecting a contingency-action token (CAT) of an object distributed ledger that meets minimum CAT requirements. The method further includes facilitating taking control of the selected CAT of a blockchain of the object distributed ledger using a securely passing process and determining that a triggered outcome is valid. The method further includes updating the CAT to indicate resolution of a life settlement utilization to produce an updated CAT. The method further includes causing generation of a new block affiliated with the updated CAT via the blockchain of the object distributed ledger using the securely passing process, where the new block includes the updated CAT.

  • Publication number: 20240162937
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to dynamically and temporarily adjusting power to an NFC reader of a computing device from a first power level to a second power level based on a feedback mechanism between a contactless card and the computing device. The contactless card may provide a message containing a checksum. The computing device may receive the message and calculate a checksum based on the received message. By comparing these two checksums, it may be determined whether the entire message has been correctly received. If not, the power to the NFC reader may be temporarily increased to allow better communication between the contactless card and the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20240157463
    Abstract: Methods and systems for joining multiple workpieces are provided. In one example, the method includes dispensing adhesive on a first workpiece. A second workpiece is contacted with the adhesive such that the adhesive is disposed between the first and second workpieces. Resistance heating is produced in the first and second workpieces at first processing conditions to partially cure the adhesive and affix the first and second workpieces together to form a partially cured, adhesive-joined workpiece assembly. The partially cured, adhesive-joined workpiece assembly is exposed to heat at second processing conditions to substantially fully cure the adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20240159119
    Abstract: An external filter assembly is shown having a slotted filter section, including an optional upper collar attached below the mounting member, and lower collar attached below the bottom cap of a lower filter element, where each collar includes a plurality of extensions containing magnets. Specifically, in the case of each extension, a bore is formed longitudinally within the extension, and a diametrically magnetic rare earth (neodymium) high-temperature rated magnet is permanently installed within the bore. Thus, with magnets installed in all of the extensions, metal debris passing through the assembly at any location, whether the upper collar or lower collar, is likely to be attracted to and retained by the extensions.

  • Publication number: 20240163837
    Abstract: A computer system (such as a controller) that distributes locations of access points is described. During operation, the computer system may receive, from the access points, information specifying the locations of the access points, uncertainties in the locations, and results of wireless scans. Then, the computer system may provide, to the access points, second information specifying the locations, the uncertainties in the locations, and the results of the wireless scans. Next, the computer system may receive, from the access points, third information specifying second locations of the access points and second uncertainties in the second locations, where the third information received from a given access point in the access points includes revisions to a location of the given access point and/or an uncertainty in the location. These revisions may be based at least in part on the second information.

  • Publication number: 20240159133
    Abstract: The present invention includes systems and methods for continuous fracturing operations across a multichannel fracturing configuration. To swap a first well for a second well while continuously pumping water and/or frac fluid through the fracturing system, the second well may be initially prepared through a pressure equalization process. Once the second well is equalized and open, the first well may be sequentially closed and depressurized. Thus, the first well is swapped for the second well while the water and/or frac fluid continuously flows through the system. A conditional flow control valve may be used to sequentially open and/or close the flow of frac fluid through the frac manifold.
