Abstract: A computer method for tokenizing a natural resource includes receiving, via a graphical user interface (GUI), data corresponding to proof of natural resource rights to explore for, produce, mine, and/or harvest a natural resource in a specified region by a first party. The method includes receiving, via the GUI, a digital signature from a first party assigning at least a portion of the natural resource rights to a first quantity of distributed ledger tokens. The method includes issuing, with the server computer, the first quantity of distributed ledger tokens, each of the distributed ledger tokens carrying a smart contract entitling the bearer to a fractional amount of the at least a portion of the natural resource rights and crediting, with the server computer, a second quantity of the issued distributed ledger tokens to the first party.

Abstract: A computer method and system for optimizing distribution of supply items from a plurality of inventory locations to a plurality of demand locations includes, with a server computer, obtaining inventory and demand data and establishing a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problem corresponding to the distribution. Data corresponding to the QUBO problem is transferred to a quantum computer for solution. The QUBO solution is converted, by the server computer, to instructions corresponding to optimized item transfer, and displaying the instructions on electronic displays of networked devices. Computer methods may include selecting a solver computer program appropriate for problem complexity. Computer methods may include selecting a quantum computer, quantum-inspired computer, or computer array appropriate for solution.

Abstract: Computer methods and systems provide management of payload data represented by electronic tokens. Applications may relate to asset-backed fungible tokens as well as non-fungible tokens. A payload data file may be added or kept current after initial token genesis by specifying, in token data, a pointer (e.g., as either a TXID specifying a wallet address as an endpoint, or as the wallet address) to one or more transactions that carry, such as in an OP_Return field, a link to a linking payload or to the added or current payload data file. A single transaction specifying the wallet address may thus update or enhance any number of electronic tokens linked to the payload data file.

Abstract: A computer method and system for automated storage and retrieval of data utilizes blockchain technology to enhance security and efficiency of data storage and access. When a data object is stored in a data storage system, a corresponding storage address is written onto a blockchain. When the data object is to be retrieved, the storage address is read from the blockchain and the data object is retrieved from the storage location.

Abstract: Computer methods, apparatuses, and graphical user interfaces include placing one or more electronic messages in cloud storage that is defined by or accessed by a blockchain data structure.

Abstract: A computer method for establishing a commodity price index includes receiving, via a web server, transactions for a plurality of first electronic currency denominated commodity or commodity future contracts, and recording, with the web server, settlement prices for the plurality of the first electronic currency denominated commodity or commodity future contracts on a distributed ledger. The computer method includes reading, with the server computer, from the distributed ledger, at least a portion of the first electronic currency denominated commodity or commodity future contracts settlement prices and determining a current electronic currency index price from the at least a portion of the first electronic currency denominated commodity or commodity future contracts settlement prices. The computer method includes displaying the current electronic currency index price on an electronic display.

Abstract: A computer method and graphical user interface (GUI) for settlement of a commodity contract includes displaying, on an electronic display of a first user device, a GUI for receiving input of information related to a particular commodity smart contract for transfer of a commodity, receiving input data including information related to commodity attributes from a first user via the GUI, displaying a commodity price field in the GUI, transferring the received input data to a server computer, displaying a commit object in the GUI receiving input from the commit object, transmitting a commitment to the server computer to cause the server computer to establish a smart commodity contract for the commodity, and displaying, in the GUI on the electronic display, a receipt acknowledgement object indicating that the smart contract is established and the first user is obligated to abide by the smart contract.

Abstract: A burner includes a flame sensor configured to detect at least one of permittivity, capacitance, or resistance across a flame region. The permittivity, capacitance, or resistance is used to determine the presence or absence of the flame in a combustion system. A combustion system supports a combustion reaction. The combustion system utilizes a combustion sensor, and optionally a plasma generator to stabilize the combustion reaction. A controller receives sensor signals from the combustion sensor and controls the plasma generator to stabilize the combustion reaction responsive to the sensor signals. The plasma generator stabilizes the combustion reaction by generating a plasma.
