Abstract: We are tokenizing patent ownership. This opens up transactions that simply are not possible today. The special purpose vehicle (SPV) is like a ‘trust’ that exists to hold and execute the patent transactions on the owner side without the owner being involved. The smart contract has self-executing elements and handles trust issues. The invention utilizes artificial intelligence (AI).

Abstract: The invention relates to maturable non-fungible tokens and interoperable IP tokens transacted on an information, network, financing, commercialization and monetization platform that leverages the efficiency of artificial intelligence and decentralization to increase global innovation by individual, small and medium sized innovators and encourages global adoption by providing access to information, analytics, capital, resources, a trusted network and global partners. The invention relates to a method to establish a maturable non-fungible token recorded on a blockchain and referencing an extendable chain of custody, and to allocate intellectual property (“IP”) rights reliably, clearly, and in an interoperable manner to any non-fungible token recorded on a blockchain, independent of its origin of creation.

Abstract: A system for configuring an information handling system based on a multi-user state change. An intelligent sensor hub communicates with sensors to detect the number of persons in a field of view of the information handling system. When the intelligent sensor hub determines there is a change in the number of persons, the information is sent out-of-band to an embedded controller (EC) independent of a host operating system. The EC makes a change to the configuration of the information handling system if needed.

Abstract: The present invention envisions a comprehensive platform (the “IPwe Platform”) that utilizes blockchain and smart contracts to address and improve upon the significant deficiencies that currently exist in the global IP market (patents, trademarks, copyrights, etc.). The objective of the IPwe Platform is creating transparency in (i) patent ownership, (ii) patent identification and (iii) patent coverage and value. In addition, by providing the network, a guaranteed buy program can be initiated that provides specific guaranteed value to intellectual property assets listed by verified brokers.

Abstract: A far-ultraviolet (far-UVC) disinfection device including a light source positioned within a housing and configured to emit a far-UVC light having an output wavelength of between about 206 nanometers to about 230 nanometers. There are one or more subject detection sensors positioned configured to detect the presence of one or more subjects and a controller in communication with the light source and the one or more subject detection sensors. The controller is configured to receive detection data from the one or more subject detection sensors and determine whether one or more subjects are within a range of the far-UVC light emitted by the light source. The controller is further configured to cause the light source to emit or cease emitting far-UVC light based on the amount of time one or more subjects are within the range of the emitted. far-UVC light.

Abstract: A system and method dynamically schedule wireless transmissions without collision. A master transmitter periodically transmits a time mark during a first predefined time slot of a plurality of consecutive time slots that form a transmission block. Multiple consecutive transmission blocks form a frame. An announcement transmission from a wireless transmitting device is received via at least one receiver during a second predefined time slot of the plurality of time slots. An allocator allocates, at least partly based upon the received announcement transmission, a third time slot of the plurality of time slots to the wireless transmitting device. A time slot reservation area of at least one subsequently transmitted time mark includes indication of the allocation of the third time slot to the wireless transmitting device. The wireless transmitting device receives the subsequently transmitted time mark and transmits only during the third time slot of subsequent frames.
