  • Publication number: 20240146522
    Abstract: A physical multi-component article with cross-component deterministic values and underlying value protection (in some cases without any on-board source of power or computing capabilities) is configured to maintain access information for a digital wallet on a decentralized computing platform, like a blockchain-based decentralized computing platform. Private access information, like private key ciphertext and key or passphrase by which the private key ciphertext may be converted to plaintext, are physically concealed with tamper-evident components such that a user can readily determine by visual inspection of the apparatus whether, and what, private access information was divulged. In some examples, a user is required to activate one or more tamper-evident features, thereby altering a visible state of the apparatus, to access certain functions of a digital wallet corresponding to the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20240140024
    Abstract: Methods of creating additive manufactured parts include selectively dispensing, in a shape area according to a layer of a part to be created by additive manufacturing, a second composition onto a top surface of a first composition in a vat, wherein a polymerization component is in the second composition. In some cases, polymerization components for formation of the layer are kept separate from each other until the dispensing. In some cases, a first polymerization component is in the first composition, and a second polymerization component is in the second composition. The top surface is illuminated to expose the first composition and the second composition to light having a polymerization wavelength, thereby causing polymerization of the layer of the part only in the shape area. The dispensing comprises customizing a reaction variable of the polymerization to customize reaction kinetics in different portions of the shape area.

  • Patent number: 11971256
    Abstract: A guided cold-atom inertial sensor system comprises an atom trap integrated platform, a laser system, a magnetic field system, a control system, and a computing system. The laser system and magnetic field system are adapted to form a magneto-optical trap (MOT) about a suspended waveguide of the atom trap integrated platform made of membrane integrated photonics. After loading cold atoms from a MOT, the photonic atom trap integrated platform generates one-dimensional guided atoms with an evanescent field optical dipole trap (EF-ODT) along the optical waveguide to create guided atomic accelerometers/gyroscopes. Motion of atomic wavepackets in a superposition state is created along the guided atom geometry by way of state-dependent momentum kicks. The light-pulse sequence of guided atom interferometry splits, redirects, and recombines atomic wavepackets, which allows measurement of atom interference fringes sensitive to inertial forces via a probe laser.

  • Patent number: 11968314
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for generation and verification of signatures via user specific tokens. This system allows a user to create a token to include with or use instead of a signature, with the token generally called a “Signature Token.” The Signature Token may be a numeric token, alphanumeric token, or other appropriate character set. The system may additionally determine or assign a signature level to a signature token based on the user device information, signature information, or some combination thereof. A Signature Token can be verified by a third party, thereby authenticating the user's signature. The system provides easy access for the creation of signature tokens and verifying the tokens.

  • Publication number: 20240119416
    Abstract: Methods and systems for team analysis and recommendation are disclosed. In some examples, a recommendation system receives team data corresponding to a team (e.g., including contractor(s)) associated with a project, including project history information associated with prior project(s) worked on by the contractor(s) before the project. The recommendation system analyzes the team data to generate a confidence score that represents an estimated level of confidence in an ability of the team to fulfill a specified obligation type. The recommendation system identifies, based on the team data and the confidence score, a recommended offer for assisting the team (e.g., the contractor(s)) with aspect(s) of the project. The recommended offer includes obligation(s) of the specified obligation type. The obligation(s) are customized for the team based on the confidence score. The recommendation system sends the recommended offer to a user device to request that the user device present the recommended offer.
