Abstract: A technique for user interaction with an autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is described. In an example embodiment, perception inputs from one or more sensor devices are processed to build a shared virtual environment that is representative of a physical environment. The sensor devices used to generate perception inputs can include image capture devices onboard an autonomous aerial vehicle that is in flight through the physical environment. The shared virtual environment can provide a continually updated representation of the physical environment which is accessible to multiple network-connected devices, including multiple UAVs and multiple mobile computing devices. The shared virtual environment can be used, for example, to display visual augmentations at network-connected user devices and guide autonomous navigation by the UAV.

Compared to the previous two-step smart contract execution process, this one-tap process (such as for staking an amount to a pool) allows specifying a predefined amount to execute instead of an exploitable infinite amount.

Abstract: A method for executing a transaction on a blockchain or other distributed ledger that enables a user holding only non-native tokens to execute the transaction.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for generating digital tokens associated with an asset on a blockchain. An example method generally includes receiving a request to create a digital token corresponding to an asset. A first private key is received. This first private key may be associated with a wallet in which the digital token is to be stored. A second private key is received from a physical device associated with an owner of the asset. An address of the asset is encrypted with a public key associated with the second private key. Metadata associated with the digital token is encrypted with a public key associated with the first private key. The digital token is minted on a blockchain based on the encrypted address of the asset and the encrypted metadata.

Abstract: The present device and technique relates to measuring geological formation permeability, such as by injection/withdrawal of conductivity-permeability doped fluid and measuring the magnetic permeability and/or conductivity of the surrounding formation. Before, during and/or after injection or withdrawal, pluralities of electromagnetic measurements of the radial distribution of magnetic permeability and/or conductivity of the surrounding formation may be made. The rate of change of the radial distribution of magnetic permeability and/or conductivity of the formation is generally directly proportional to the permeability of the surrounding formation. In implementations, magnetic permeability and electrical conductivity can be measured independently in time domain or frequency domain, such that the magnetic permeability mapping is not disturbed by other confounding electromagnetic parameters.
