Patent number: 11863679Abstract: A permissioned blockchain, using off-chain storage, provides advantages over blockchains that rely on consensus and/or store information within the blockchain. Advantages include enhanced viability, compactness, and the ability to register material with distribution limitations (e.g., military classified). Examples create an immutable public record of data signatures that confirm when data is intact, without distributing the data itself, so that widespread availability of the blockchain (beyond those privileged to see the data) advantageously increases the size of the community that is able to detect spoofing or forgery attempts. A permissioning entity limits submissions to manage blockchain growth, foreclosing problematic material that may risk long-term viability.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2020Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Tenet 3, LLCInventors: Kelce S. Wilson, Jeff A. Hughes, Tyler J. Moody, Derek E. Doran, Gary R. Tuttle, Joel B. Rieman

Patent number: 11860816Abstract: Data items are archived by separating them into two or more data streams according to common characteristics or categories. Data item properties, including custodian and date properties, are defined for the items in each stream. A record manifest, including metadata corresponding to the data item properties for the stream, is created. The data items and the manifest are stored. The data items are indexed only on demand, and only to the extent necessary to satisfy the demand. When data is restored from archival storage, it is combined with the stub in a manner that treats the stub and stored data as complementary parts, thus preserving any changes to the stub that are not reflected in the archive copy.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2017Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Archive360, LLCInventors: Tiberiu Popp, Nick Czeczulin, Robert Desteno

Patent number: 11860866Abstract: A website is navigated automatically in a sequential manner, for example by performing a series of specific network requests in a specified order, without necessarily using a browser, and without necessarily rendering each web page in the sequence. Interactions with a website are automatically recorded, stored, and analyzed. Requests and responses can be associated with particular input/output operations. Based on the analysis, the system can determine what data is expected by web servers, so that it can effectively simulate browser operations in connection with those web servers, and extract useful information from the data received in response to those operations. Thus, data extraction and/or other operations can be performed more efficiently and more quickly, while reducing the computing resources needed.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Capital One Services, LLCInventors: Robert Duke, Ryan Engle, Ryan Peck, Jonathan Coon
