Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for securing an online wallet by separating a first server hosting a cryptocurrency transaction website from a second server executing the cryptocurrency transactions within a private network. In a method of securing such cryptocurrency transactions, the first server receives a transaction request from a user to execute a transaction with a cryptocurrency stored in an online wallet. The first server then generates a request message and embeds at least a portion of the transaction request into the request message. The first server places the request message in a message queue and transmits the request message to the second server through the message queue. The second server receives the request message, extracts the transaction request and executes a cryptocurrency transaction based on the transaction request. The second server generates a response message and transmits the response message to the first server through the message queue.

Abstract: The “Gheorghe Vasilescu” lubrication apparatus comprises a shaft having a passageway therein and a sump for storing a lubricant. The sump has a substantially cylindrical form and includes a bottom and side walls. The sump is also configured to rotate about a central axis of the shaft. The side walls are provided with multiple parallel lugs on an inner surface of the side walls. The apparatus further includes a lubricant pickup tube having one end connected to the passageway and another end having an intake orifice. The lubricant pickup tube is substantially perpendicular to the central axis of the shaft, and the intake orifice is substantially perpendicular to the central axis of the shaft. The passageway is configured to deliver the lubricant from the sump to an outer surface of the shaft.

Abstract: The “Gheorghe Vasilescu” lubrication apparatus comprises a shaft having a passageway and a sump for storing a lubricant. The sump has a cylindrical form and includes a ring of lugs arranged on an inner surface of the sump. The apparatus further includes a lubricant pickup tube having a first end connected to the passageway and a second end having an intake orifice. The lubricant pickup tube is substantially perpendicular to the shaft axis. The lubricant pickup tube and the shaft are configured to rotate together as one assembly about the shaft axis so that the lubricant pickup tube is capable to pick up the lubricant from sump due to the centrifitgal force arising during such conjoint relative rotation. The passageway is configured to deliver the lubricant from the sump to an outer surface of the shaft.

Abstract: A method and system for exchanging electronic files, such as digital images, digital documents, and/or digital audio files, via an escrow transaction. The method allows two transaction partners to store electronic files on a third party system and then grant each partner access to the files of the other partner only after both partners agree. The two partners can review partial information about the electronic files that is sufficient to determine if the files contain the expected data, but insufficient to derive meaningful information about said data. Instead of electronic files, it is also possible for one of the partners to provide payment in various forms in exchange for the electronic documents provided by the other partner.

Abstract: A lubrication apparatus is disclosed. The “Gheorghe Vasilescu” apparatus comprises a shaft having a passageway therein, a sump for storing a lubricant, and a lubricant pickup tube having one end connected to the passageway and another end having an intake orifice. The lubricant pickup tube and the shaft may be configured to rotate together as one assembly about the shaft axis. The lubricant pickup tube may be capable of picking up the lubricant from the sump due to the centrifugal force arising during such conjoint relative rotation. The passageway may be configured to deliver the lubricant from the sump to the outer surface of the shaft. The apparatus may further comprise at least one bearing. The shaft may be installed in the bearing. The shaft may be a part of an engine, a electric motor, a rotor, a turbine, a pivot, or alike. The passageway may have an S- or L-shape or any other appropriate form.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for driving a trade via an electronic trading platform are provided. Traders may define trade order parameters including at least one monitored parameter and at least one rule for assigned thereto. The trade orders will only be executed when current market data satisfies the at least one monitored parameter and at least one rule. Said monitored parameters are selected from a current market price, a current bid and/or ask value, volume, a Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), or a combination thereof. The rules are based on a number and/or volume of executed market orders, placed by other traders, during a certain time period, a time period passed since it was determined that the at least one monitored parameter satisfies the market data, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A method for partially obscuring part of a document (or image) for the purpose of hiding the content of that document while still revealing portions of the document so that the nature and validity of the content can be determined.
