  • Patent number: 10298405
    Abstract: A system may provide hardware acceleration for corrective blockchain-based record entry. Blockchain management circuitry (BMC) may receive a correction to a record entry. The BMC may access a consensus operating procedure. The BMC may apply the consensus operating procedure to the record entry to determine a corrective indicator. After completing the consensus operating procedure, the BMC may append a corrective block generated based on the record entry and corrective indicator to the blockchain. Accordingly, the system may ensure that corrective blocks added to the blockchain were generated in compliance with the consensus operating procedure.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9998286
    Abstract: A system may provide hardware acceleration for blockchain-based record entry. Client circuitry may provide record entry information to node circuitry. The node circuitry may compile the record entry information into a record entry for submission to blockchain management circuitry (BMC). The BMC may access a consensus operating procedure. The BMC may apply the consensus operating procedure to the record entry to gain append permissions for a blockchain. After completing the consensus operating procedure, the BMC may append a block generated based on the record entry to the blockchain. Accordingly, the system may ensure that blocks added to the blockchain were generated in compliance with the consensus operating procedure.

  • Patent number: 4178001
    Abstract: A pipe coupling including an annular lip seal that wipes the contacted pipe portion clean, when inserted therein. The lip seal also, while the pipe is situated in place while in use, precludes the entry of foreign material, such as sand or dirt, between the pipe and coupling. An inner seal further prevents leakage between the pipe and the coupling.
