  • Publication number: 20240420235
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a system and method including a platform that administers a mobile app that allows user to participate in obtaining and trading non-fungible tokens (NFTs). In particular an embodiment includes a trust certificate that is attached to a NFT, where the certificate is both detachable and redeemable for its pro rata share of the net asset value of an associated trust. In yet another embodiment, a dual-purpose certificate is attached to a NFT that is divisible.

  • Publication number: 20240152938
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a system and method including a CrowdDATA™ plug-in running on the CrowdDATA™ network providing a solution for web and mobile app providers that directly compensates app users who voluntarily wish to provide verified, anonymized data and interact with advertiser or other commercial content—and stores that data by interacting with servers on the CrowdDATA™ Network where it can be accessed for a fee by commercial or other organizations.

  • Publication number: 20220272135
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a system and method for interactive event viewing. The system includes a plurality of servers communicatively coupled to a plurality of data sources. A plurality of users participate in more or more online events via one or more user devices. The system also includes a plurality of financial partners communicatively coupled to the system. The servers execute a method that includes receiving data from the plurality of data sources, converting the data into a video and audio feed, and providing the video and audio feed to the participants.

  • Publication number: 20060285583
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for testing phase rotators for detecting defective tap weights are provided. Phase rotator test logic may include a master phase rotator to cycle the phase of a clock signal distributed to operational phase rotators through an entire cycle of phases (e.g., an entire 360 degree rotation). Each operational phase rotator should respond with an equal but opposite phase shift in order to maintain phase lock. Thus, after sweeping, each tap weight is exercised, which may help ensure defective tap weights in any (e.g., quadrant) are detected during testing.

  • Publication number: 20060285584
    Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for testing jitter tolerance of a device are provided. Jitter control logic within a device may include a master phase rotator to rapidly adjust the phase of a clock signal to simulate jitter in a data stream received by the device. For some embodiments, the rate, magnitude, and signature (or waveform shape) of the phase adjustments may be controlled to simulate high frequency jitter. Errors in received data packets may be monitored while simulating this jitter (e.g., as part of a built in self test) to test the jitter tolerance of a device under test.

  • Publication number: 20060114032
    Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for programmable determination of frequency, phase, and jitter relationship of a first clock and a second clock in an electronic system. In a first, initialization, mode, a first register and a second register are initialized with a first bit pattern and a second bit pattern, respectively. In a second, normal, mode, the first clock is coupled to the first register and the second clock is coupled to the second register. A compare unit observes the bit patterns of the first and second registers and reports when one or more predetermined relationships between the first clock and the second clock occur.

  • Publication number: 20060072619
    Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for aligning data sequentially received on multiple single-byte data paths are provided. A sufficient number of bytes received in each channel may be stored (e.g., buffered) and examined to properly match data from each single-byte path. Once matched, the data may be output in a proper order on the multi-byte interface, for example, via some type of multiplexor arrangement. Furthermore, alignment operations may be performed in such a way so as to reduce the latencies involved in aligning data.
