    Abstract: A downhole drilling system for drilling a wellbore through a subterranean formation and a method of obtaining data from a downhole location. A bottom hole assembly (BHA) is locatable in the wellbore. A gravity sensor is operable to measure the Earth's gravity local to the BHA in three gravity vector coordinates. A magnetic sensor is operable to measure a magnetic field local to the BHA in three magnetic vector coordinates. A downhole processor is locatable in the borehole and operable to, if the gravity or magnetic measurements are not taken at a selected orientation of the BHA, process the measurements downhole by rotating the measured gravity and the measured magnetic field around the z-axis to align a gravity vector or a magnetic vector with the selected orientation of the BHA.

  • Publication number: 20230103259
    Abstract: Existing systems enable secure storage of encryption keys in the form of digital wallets, however, since the keys are preconfigured, they can be prone to malicious attacks. The embodiments herein provide a method and system for randomizing distribution of cryptographic keys across multiple secure key storage devices. The system generates random storage identities (RSIDs) for secure key storage devices by selecting a random storage device from a device portfolio, assigns the RSIDs randomly to create crypto addresses based on random access and partition the devices by deriving crypto addresses. Further, the system generates a user hash function and maps the user hash function to find an associated RSID hash function. The system identifies a device ID, a partition ID and a business date from a device mapper associated with the RSIDs to regenerate new RSIDs and recommends the regenerated new RSIDs randomly to each of the plurality of devices.

  • Publication number: 20230094519
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and techniques for providing automatic distribution of transaction-related benefits to an account used to conduct a transaction. In certain embodiments, the system receives transaction details from a transaction processing network as transactions are conducted. The system determines an appropriate benefit provider for a transaction conducted from an account and provides a subset of transaction details to that benefit provider. The benefit provider compares the subset of transaction details to a set of limited transaction details received from a resource provider to identify the transaction and determine a benefit amount, if any, for which the transaction qualifies. The benefit provider then provides the benefit amount to the system, which then causes the transaction processing network to credit the account the benefit amount.

    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for crowdsourcing metadata, such as to create, maintain, utilize, and/or communicate metadata in a datastore. Some embodiments are particularly directed to collecting, managing, and/or distributing metadata via a user interface application (UIA), or an extension thereof. Many embodiments may facilitate collaborative creation of a repository for metadata, such as notes, characteristics, and/or statistics corresponding to data viewed with the user interface application. For example, the comments regarding websites may be collected from a first user via a first instantiation of the web browser extension and distributed to a second user via a second instantiation of the web browser extension. In several embodiments, the metadata may be collected and managed with instantiations of the web browser extension (herein after “WBE instants”) and a data manager may create, maintain, utilize, and/or communicate metadata in a datastore.
