  • Publication number: 20230334488
    Abstract: Techniques for authenticating a digital asset represented by an NFT that is stored in a blockchain are disclosed. An NFT that has been minted for an asset is identified. The NFT was minted by generating metadata for the asset and by generating an original hash of the asset. The NFT is stored in a blockchain, and the metadata is stored in a centralized repository. The original hash is stored in either the repository or the blockchain. A potential transfer of the NFT is triggered. Triggering the potential transfer includes downloading, from the centralized repository, a local version of the asset. A local hash of the local version of the asset is generated. The local hash is compared against the original hash. If the two hashes are the same, then the transfer is permitted; otherwise, the transfer is not permitted.

  • Publication number: 20230229751
    Abstract: A PCIe resource management system includes a PCIe resource registration subsystem and a PCIe resource monitoring subsystem. Assets register to use PCIe resources of other assets and to allow other assets to use their PCIe resources. Assets specify which types of PCIe resources it can borrow, when it can borrow those PCIe resources, and a logical group of other assets from which the asset can borrow the PCIe resources. Assets also specify which types of PCIe resources it will lend, when it will lend those PCIe resources, and a logical group of other assets to which the asset will lend the PCIe resources. The PCIe resource registration subsystem maintains a PCIe resource registration datastore maintaining PCIe borrow and lending rules associated with assets in logical groups of assets. PCIe resources are shared between assets in the logical groups as needed, as determined by the PCIe resource monitoring subsystem.

  • Patent number: 9230315
    Abstract: Automatic determination of the complexity associated with converting image content from 2-dimensions to 3-dimensions commences by first determining how many different scenes exist within the image content. Each scene then undergoes analysis to determine its complexity based on the motion, texture and occlusion within the scene. The scene complexities are added to the scene transition complexity and the total gets weighted to yield an overall indication of the complexity of converting of image content from 2-dimensions to 3-dimensions.
