  • Publication number: 20250148456
    Abstract: The End-to-End Encryption and Hot Wallet Key Recovery Apparatuses, Processes and Systems (“E2EEHWKR”) transforms key backup request, key recovery request datastructure/inputs via E2EEHWKR components into key backup response, key recovery response outputs. A key backup request datastructure specifying a wallet private key, a private key backup server identifier, a PIN shard fracture scheme definition, and a plurality of PIN shard backup devices is obtained. A user security PIN is obtained and utilized to encrypt the wallet private key. A symmetric key is calculated from a public key associated with the private key backup server identifier and an app private key. The encrypted wallet private key is encrypted utilizing the symmetric key. The twice encrypted wallet private key is sent to a private key backup server. The user security PIN is encrypted utilizing an asymmetric keypair. Encrypted user security PIN shards are generated and sent to PIN shard backup devices.

  • Publication number: 20240369908
    Abstract: In one light-based computing method, a first light representing a first numerical input, a second light representing a second numerical input, and a third light representing an output command are received. The first and second lights are comingled. The output light sum of the numerical inputs is based on sensing the amplitude of the comingled light. In another light-based computing method, non-binary values are associated with corresponding light amplitudes. A main light containment area comingles two or more lights inside it. Each of the two or more lights has an amplitude associated with a non-binary value. After sensing light in a secondary light containment area, the resultant light amplitude of the comingled light is detected and becomes the basis for the result of the calculation.

  • Publication number: 20240349852
    Abstract: A method and system for applying colored dental adhesive and a high-resolution decal to the surface of a person's tooth. The colored dental adhesive is formed by combining dental adhesive with a food grade colorant. The high-resolution decal is formed by printing a design on a paper substrate. Before application of the colored dental adhesive, the tooth is cleaned and etched with a phosphoric acid compound. The colored dental adhesive is applied to the surface of a tooth. The decal is then placed on colored dental adhesive, and the colored dental adhesive is cured. Additional layers of dental adhesive may be applied on top of the decal.

  • Publication number: 20240338301
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a system for testing application resiliency. The system may receive first data associated with a plurality of microservices within a microservice architecture. The system may generate a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to display the first data and an icon associated with each of the plurality of microservices. The system may receive, via the GUI, a selection of the icon associated with a first microservice of the plurality of microservices. The system may transmit a call via an Application Programming Interface (API), from the first microservice to further microservice(s) of the plurality of microservices. The system may receive, via the GUI, a request to transmit a simulated Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) error response code from the further microservice(s) to the first microservice, transmit the simulated HTTP error response code from the further microservice(s) to the first microservice, and monitor a response from the first microservice.

  • Patent number: 12061408
    Abstract: A light-based apparatus has an input device, accepting two or more numerical inputs and an output command. It has a logic unit that receives the two numerical inputs from the input device, and is adapted to combine various lights, in amplitudes based on the respective values of the numerical inputs, to produce an output light sum representing a sum of the two numerical inputs. The logic unit also has an output sensing circuit to sense the output light sum. The logic unit is responsive to the output command to output a value representing the output light sum. The device uses a computing method that includes comingling light from multiple sources, at the same time, in a light containment area to provide comingled light. The method includes using light amplitude sensing circuitry to sense an amplitude of the comingled light, outputting an arithmetic sum, based on the amplitude of the comingled light, without using a binary computer to compute the arithmetic sum.
