  • Publication number: 20240037662
    Abstract: Systems and methods for digital tokenization. A method includes issuing a token to a user based on an investment made by the user by recording a first transaction on a decentralized ledger indicating ownership of the token. The decentralized ledger is distributed across nodes among a decentralized network such that at least one portion of code is stored across the nodes, where the portions of code are encoded based on project parameters of an impact project. A third transaction is recorded on the decentralized ledger by generating a transaction specifying progress on the impact project and broadcasting the generated transaction to the decentralized network. A second transaction is recorded on the decentralized ledger via the portions of code based on the project parameters and the third transaction recorded on the decentralized ledger, where the second transaction includes a respective transfer via the token issued to the user.

  • Patent number: 11830192
    Abstract: A method and system for image-based region detection. Transformation matrices are computed by performing image registration between a target image and each of one or more reference images. Each transformation matrix is for transforming each of the reference images into a coordinate system of the target image. An optimal reference image is selected from among the reference images based on similarity measures between the target image and each reference image. The transformation matrix of the selected reference image is applied to a reference map associated with the reference image in order to generate a target map for the target image. The target map includes region labels indicating regions shown in the target image.

  • Publication number: 20230370998
    Abstract: Systems and methods for building digital twins and navigating using digital twins. Reference signal and identifier data sent via antennas is obtained. Timing advance parameters for signals sent to the antennas are received. One or more machine learning models are applied to the reference signal data and timing advance parameters. Each machine learning model is trained to output antenna positions, antenna configurations, or both, and may be trained using training antenna configurations in the form of reference models representing different potential antenna configurations. Based on the outputs of the machine learning models, potential interference for devices occupying various locations within the network are determined. Navigation decisions, gaps in network coverage, or both, are determined based on the potential interference. As a result, interference by one or more devices moving within the network is reduced, thereby improving signal quality.

  • Publication number: 20230318678
    Abstract: Techniques for optimizing connection stability via communications with base stations in wireless communication networks. A current actual signal-to-distortion measurement value is determined for signals received by a device from a base station in a wireless communication network. A target base station configuration is determined based on the actual signal-to-distortion measurement value and known relationships between signal-to-distortion measurements and reliability metrics corresponding to different base station configurations. Deceptive signal quality transmissions are sent to the base station until the base station selects the target base station configuration. The deceptive signal quality transmissions may include deceptive signal-to-distortion measurements or deceptive binary values indicating poor signal quality.

  • Publication number: 20230239783
    Abstract: A system and method for improving connection reliability while navigating in cellular networks. Historical received by vehicles navigating within a cellular network are analyzed in order to create a signal propagation model. The cellular network is distributed across a geographic area including multiple cells, where each cell is a subdivision of the geographic area. The historical signals are received from transceivers deployed the cellular network. Based on the signal propagation model and an expected navigation path of the vehicle, a subset of transceivers within the cellular network is determined. The subset of transceivers is used for making selections about which transceivers the vehicle should communicate with, for example by transmitting the subset of transceivers to a system responsible for selecting which transceiver communicates with a given vehicle such that the system selects which transceiver to use from among the subset of transceivers.
