  • Publication number: 20250153505
    Abstract: A sensor is mounted to or embedded in a wheel hub. The sensor node includes a power source and a sensing device that detects and monitors at least one parameter associated with the wheel hub. The sensor node also includes a communication module that communicates via wireless communication signals and a processing device in communication with the sensing device and the communication module. The processing device collects data from the sensing devices, processes the data, and based on that processing, communicates information relating to the wheel hub to a remote server or network. A mesh network of multiple sensor nodes can be applied to multiple different wheel hubs on a vehicle and communicate with a central processing device. The processing device can thus monitor performance and/or operation of each wheel hub.

  • Publication number: 20240346483
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to locking non-fungible tokens (NFTs), linked to digital collectibles, from being transferred. Digital collectibles can be any suitable unit of data affiliated with person(s), organization(s), or any other entities. A digital collectible can comprise a display component that supports display of the digital collectible data. Digital collectible data can include an affiliated person (e.g., a sports player), an affiliated team (e.g., a sports team), a digital media file (e.g., video clip, image, etc.), or any other suitable digital collectible data. Ownership of a digital collectible is transferred via ownership of the NFT linked to the digital collectible. Implementations support a lock command from user(s) that lock a given NFT, and its corresponding linked digital collectible, to the user for a period of time (e.g., 6 months, a year, etc.).

  • Publication number: 20230033434
    Abstract: A system and method for managing access to offerings of online digital collectibles. Access may managed according to various eligibility criteria related to a user. The eligibility criteria may relate to aspects of the user's participation, involvement, holdings, or actions in the system. To determine whether a user is eligible for a collectible offering, the system may determine eligibility criteria associated with the offering and obtain from a user's account the information necessary to determine if the user meets the eligibility criteria. The criteria may include a measurement of the digital collectibles currently in the user's account, prior purchase activity by the user, and/or other user-related information tracked by the system.

  • Publication number: 20050227733
    Abstract: In a basestation, both chip and symbol rate processing are performed within the same DSP. The tasks involved in these baseband processing operations are performed using functions selected from groups of functions available for performing certain tasks. For example, demodulation can be performed using either a rake receiver function or an adaptive equalisation function, the choice being made according to the prevailing circumstances, for example, on the basis of such factors as available baseband processing power, delay spread and spreading factor.
