  • Patent number: 11961136
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to processing and executing digital asset transfers between two users. An example method includes receiving a data object defining a digital asset transfer, and the data object may be a query from the first user to initiate an outbound transfer to a second user or an approval of a request for digital asset units from the second user. The method further includes retrieving account balance data objects associated with the digital asset accounts for the first and second users. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the digital asset transfer satisfies one or more transfer conditions, executing the digital asset transfer by executing a closed-loop debit from the first user and executing a closed-loop credit to the second user. The method further includes updating the account balance data object to reflect the resulting balances of each digital asset account.

  • Patent number: 11947330
    Abstract: Systems and methods for tool orientation and/or position determining system are described herein. In one example, a plurality of tool sensors can be coupled to a tool. The tool sensors can provide data to a control module or system controller. The orientation and/or position of the tool can accordingly be determined from the data. If the orientation and/or position of the tool matches a desired orientation, the tool and/or control module can provide an indication that the tool is in the desired orientation.

  • Publication number: 20240095723
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are generally directed to processing conversions of digital assets to fiat currency. An example method includes obtaining a conversion rate for a digital asset via an API, providing the conversion rate via a client device, receiving a digital asset conversion request and executing a digital asset conversion within a configurable time period. Executing the digital asset conversion includes causing digital asset units to be debited from the digital asset user account and causing fiat currency units to be credited to a fiat currency user account. The method further includes dynamically providing a notification of execution of the digital asset conversion via the client device, updating account balance data objects associated with the digital asset user account and the fiat currency user account, and subsequent to executing the digital asset conversion, executing a fiat currency transaction (e.g., a settlement) with a digital asset exchange system.

  • Publication number: 20220199081
    Abstract: A system for routing commands issued by a passenger of a vehicle to a Smart Home and/or an Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem via a connection manager. Issued commands are obtained from utterances using speech recognition and analyzed using natural language understanding and natural language processing. Using the output of the natural understanding analysis, the connection manager determines where to send the command by identifying a target Smart Home and/or IoT ecosystem.

  • Publication number: 20220201083
    Abstract: A system for integrating disparate ecosystems including smart home and internet-of-things (IoT) ecosystems. The system including a vehicle assistant that executes within the context of a cloud-based application and that retrieves sensor data and utterances from a vehicle and forwards the sensor data and passenger-spoken utterances to a cloud-based application. Using the sensor data and utterances, the cloud-based application selects and executes a predetermined routine that includes at least one action to be completed in vehicle, on mobile phone or Smart Home/IoT ecosystem. The action is then complete by issuing the command to the vehicle head-unit, specified mobile phone or target ecosystem selected from a group of disparate ecosystems.

  • Patent number: 10745796
    Abstract: In a multi-mask alignment system and method, a carrier frame is provided having a number of apertures therethrough. A number of shadow mask-frame combinations are also provided. Each shadow mask-frame combination includes a first set of alignment features and each shadow mask-frame combination is positioned on a first side of the carrier with the frame supporting the shadow mask in alignment with one of the apertures. A single alignment stage is provided and a control system including a programmed controller is also provided. Under the control of the controller, the single alignment stage translates to each shadow mask-frame combination, one-at-a time, and adjusts the position of the shadow mask-frame combination based on positions of the first set of alignment features determined by the controller.
