  • Patent number: 11410242
    Abstract: Disclosed are method and systems to program a server to identify the value of a fund comprising shares of multiple private entities. The server receives transaction data associated with a fund where the transaction data identifies a proportion of shares within the fund associated with each private entity, price per share of each private entity, and other relevant data. The server then executes multiple artificial intelligence models to identify comparable public entities to each private entity. The server then retrieves stock price data for each public entity and calculates a value for each private entity in real time. The server also displays a value of the fund in real time where identification of each private entity is anonymized.

  • Patent number: 11410241
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods for monitoring and managing parts, enterprise resources and other assets, and alleviating risks, in a complex collaboration environment are provided. A device with a hardware- and software-based control system scans and/or writes unique asset-related information within a plurality of chemical, electromagnetic, or written data-bearing tags within, on or throughout an asset for use in a manufacturing, maintenance and/or tracking process. A system records that asset-specific information (e.g., using secure network(s) and/or a blockchain), providing it for later access and modification by a number of trusted users, to track and control manufacturing-, maintenance-relevant or other factors. An enterprise resource planning system both outputs information to, and receives information from, the control system, reconciling changes in the data.
