Publication number: 20250182094Abstract: Techniques for generation of a unified identity registry are described that support integration and analysis of non-blockchain based user data and blockchain-based user data. A processing device, for instance, monitors an interaction between a client device associated with a user and a digital service provided by a digital service provider. Based on the interaction, the processing device determines a non-blockchain based identifier as well as a blockchain based identifier associated with the user and generates an association between the identifiers. The processing device then generates an identity asset that includes the association for inclusion in an identity registry. The processing device performs a variety of analysis as part of maintaining the identity registry, such as generating segments of identity assets and generating rules to govern access and use of the identity assets. The processing device then grants access to the identity registry based on the rules.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2023Publication date: June 5, 2025Applicant: Adobe Inc.Inventors: David Brian Humpherys, William Brandon George, Jonathan Lancar

Patent number: 12311911Abstract: The disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for controlling electrical power outlets in a vehicle. An example method executed by a processor of an electrical power outlet controller includes detecting a transitioning of a vehicle to a drive mode and further includes disconnecting, based on the transitioning, electrical power supplied to a first electrical power outlet in the vehicle. The transitioning of the vehicle to the drive mode may be detected based on a transition of a drive selector of the vehicle from a park position to a drive position. In another example method, the processor, detects the vehicle in motion and disconnects electrical power supplied to a second electrical power outlet in the vehicle. The first electrical power outlet and/or the second electrical power outlet are accessible from outside the vehicle, and may, for example, be located outside a cabin area of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2022Date of Patent: May 27, 2025Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Stuart C.
