Publication number: 20190122005Abstract: A computing system includes: server; client; broker-dealer database(s) storing personally identifiable information for accounts; and distributed ledger. Server receives request to obtain personally identifiable information (PII) regarding a trading history for a first account from a first user of the client. Server determines which broker-dealer database of the broker-dealer database(s) includes the PII for the first account. Server determines whether the first user has permission to obtain the PII for the first account. Server receives a trading history for the first account from a distributed ledger when the first user has permission to obtain the PII for the first account. Server is configured to map the PII from the broker-dealer database with the public transaction information received from the at least one distributed ledger to generate mapped information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2018Publication date: April 25, 2019Applicant: Medici Ventures, Inc.Inventors: Trent Norman Larson, Eric Nathaniel Fish, Alec Wilkins, Andrew Warner

Patent number: 9933826Abstract: A method controls power consumption in a high performance computing system having a plurality of nodes by gathering information relating to the plurality of nodes in the high performance computing system, setting a power range to a given power range for the plurality of nodes as a function of the gathered information, and executing an application program on one or more of the nodes. The method also receives power commands from the application program relative to the one or more nodes, and responsively changes the power range to a new power range for the one or more nodes executing the application program. Thus, the one or more nodes execute the application program within the new power range.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2015Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Patrick Donlin, Andrew Warner

Publication number: 20170315032Abstract: This disclosure provides a biological sample processing system and methods for processing biological samples. The processing may include one or both of removing wax from wax-embedded biological samples and applying a reagent to biological samples. Aspects of the dewaxing technique and the technique for applying the reagent may be combined to achieve energy efficiencies. Additional efficiency may be achieved by recirculating heated reagent. A hybrid power system may use a source of stored power to supplement external power at times of peak demand. Uniform distribution of liquids across a surface of the biological samples may be achieved by self-leveling using an inclinometer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2017Publication date: November 2, 2017Inventors: David Abraham Basiji, Eric Andrew Warner, Saradha Avantsa, Hoa Thuong Nguyen, Smitha Sreedhar, Thomas Marion Maxwell, Ziggy Q.
