Patent number: 11961067Abstract: A network node includes at least one processor, at least one memory, and at least one network interface. The network node is configured to be within a plurality of network nodes communicatively coupled in a peer-to-peer network of network nodes implementing a distributed ledger. The network node is configured to be communicatively coupled to at least one remotely located computing device through the at least one network interface. The at least one processor is configured to determine a split ratio for a new split of security tokens held in at least one address of the distributed ledger. The at least one processor is also configured to store an indication of the split ratio without updating token balances for all of the at least one address in a list of addresses holding at least one of the security tokens.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: tZERO IP, LLCInventors: Justin Wilson, Nicole Sanders, Robert Christensen, Chase Lester, Andrew Warner

Publication number: 20240095719Abstract: A network node in a peer-to-peer network of nodes includes at least one processor, at least one memory, and at least one network interface. The at least one processor is configured to receive a request to transfer a security token and execute a plurality of compliance rules associated with the security token. At least one of the compliance rules is implemented using at least one smart contract. The at least one smart contract references a global registry. The at least one processor is also configured to transfer the security token based on the execution of the compliance rules. The global registry includes personally identifiable information (PII) hash(es) for each of at least one investor associated with the transfer of the security token. The hashes are committed to the distributed ledger and updated when PII of a respective one of the at least one investor changes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: tZERO IP, LLCInventors: Scott Overholser, Robert Christensen, Nicole Sanders, Justin Wilson, Robert Valmassoi, Chase Lester, Michael William Stuart Smith, Andrew Warner

Publication number: 20080229885Abstract: A hand held, one touch jar opener can be placed on a jar and activated with a momentary touch of a button. An epicyclic gear train is set to sequentially provide a grip on a jar, and on a lid, followed by development of torque needed to move the lid in a counterclockwise direction with respect to the jar. The principles embodied in the opener shown can be realized in an opener which can be manually powered, or preferably motorised and possibly highly automated. A differential geartrain provides reduction of speed and increase in torque and then provides two balanced and opposing forces through the epicyclic gear assembly having sun and planet gears. This configuration enables a wide variety of screw-on lids and jars to be automatically closed to match the correct diameters, apply a gripping force and then apply torque in an opposing direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2007Publication date: September 25, 2008Inventors: Pat Y. Mah, Mark Andrew Sanders
