  • Patent number: 11926542
    Abstract: Methods and systems for removal of ions from aqueous fluids are provided. In certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method of removing one or more oxyanions from an aqueous fluid, including the steps of contacting an aqueous fluid containing oxyanions with an aluminum metal whereby aluminum ions are released from the aluminum metal into the aqueous fluid, wherein the one or more oxyanions in the aqueous fluid react with the aluminum ions to form one or more ettringites; controlling a rate of release of the aluminum ions from the aluminum metal; and removing at least a portion of precipitated ettringites from the aqueous fluid.

  • Patent number: 11910899
    Abstract: A rolling luggage bag includes a cover fixedly coupled to a base, the base including a first side opposite a second side and a bottom face extending there between, wherein the cover comprises a plurality of panels, arranged in a direction away from the base, wherein the plurality of panels defines an interior chamber, the interior chamber comprising an internal cover fixedly attached to the panels of the fifth panel zone, a first wheel and a second wheel coupled to the base, the first and second wheels configured to rotate about an axis of rotation and separated by a first distance along the axis of rotation, at least a portion of each of the first and second wheels projecting from the first side and from the bottom face, and a third wheel and a fourth wheel coupled to the bottom face, the third and fourth wheels configured to independently swivel about a respective swivel axis and separated by a second distance extending between the swivel axes.

  • Patent number: 11895252
    Abstract: A method, controller, and non-transitory computer-readable medium of a distributed crypto-ledger network, including receiving an instruction to perform an operation between a first user and a second user, the first user corresponding to a first entity that is a member of the distributed crypto-ledger network, the instruction comprising a destination address corresponding to the second user, querying a top-level name registry with the destination address to determine a second entity associated with the destination address, the second entity being a different member of the crypto-ledger network, and executing the operation between the first user and the second user by transmitting execution instructions to the first entity and the second entity, the execution instructions causing a first entity controller to modify data stored on a first distributed crypto-ledger of the first entity, and causing a second entity controller to modify data stored on the second distributed crypto-ledger of the second entity.

  • Patent number: 11882205
    Abstract: Systems and/or methods of the present disclosure enable ledger interoperability using a controller to perform an operation between a first user and a second user on separate entity-specific distributed ledgers, where the separate entity-specific distributed ledgers are both operatively linked to a membered common distributed ledger. The controller burns a first quantity of first entity-specific tokens from the first entity-specific distributed ledger and mints a second quantity of the common tokens on the membered common distributed ledger, where the first quantity of first entity-specific tokens and the second quantity of the common tokens represent an equivalency. The controller moves the second quantity of common tokens from a first encrypted storage to a second encrypted storage of the membered common distributed ledger, burns the second quantity of the common tokens and mints a third quantity of the second entity-specific tokens on the second entity-specific distributed ledger to complete the operation.

  • Patent number: 11768808
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods provide non-native functionality to a distributed network for distributed ledger token verification and event permissioning. The disclosed technology receives a transfer event request from a first node associated with a first token storage, where the transfer event request corresponds to movement of a requested token amount that is associated with at least one token. In response, the transfer event request is inserted into a pending transfer log that is configured to queue pending transfer event requests. A determination is made regarding a first permission based on the currently queued pending transfer event requests, and as a result, the transfer event request is transmitted to the distributed network based on the first permission, where such transfer causes the requested movement of the requested token amount.

  • Patent number: 11755542
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods provide non-native functionality to a distributed network for events management on a blockchain via locking queued distributed network tokens. The disclosed technology receives a transfer event request from a first node associated with a first token storage, where the transfer event request corresponds to movement of a requested token amount that is associated with at least one token. A pending transfer event log that queues pending transfer event requests is accessed and modified by adding the transfer event request to the queue of pending transfer event requests. This causes the at least one token associated with the transfer event request to be locked, thereby preventing its association with other transfer events. The transfer event request is then transmitted to the distributed network, whereby the distributed network executes the movement of the at least one token.
