Abstract: The End-to-End Encryption and Hot Wallet Key Recovery Apparatuses, Processes and Systems (“E2EEHWKR”) transforms key backup request, key recovery request datastructure/inputs via E2EEHWKR components into key backup response, key recovery response outputs. A key backup request datastructure specifying a wallet private key, a private key backup server identifier, a PIN shard fracture scheme definition, and a plurality of PIN shard backup devices is obtained. A user security PIN is obtained and utilized to encrypt the wallet private key. A symmetric key is calculated from a public key associated with the private key backup server identifier and an app private key. The encrypted wallet private key is encrypted utilizing the symmetric key. The twice encrypted wallet private key is sent to a private key backup server. The user security PIN is encrypted utilizing an asymmetric keypair. Encrypted user security PIN shards are generated and sent to PIN shard backup devices.

Abstract: A method of preparing an organosilicon compound via selective silylation of ethylene is disclosed. The method comrises prises reacting via silylation (A) a hydridochlorosilane compound and (B) ethylene in the presence of (C) a catalyst, thereby preparing the organosilicon compound. The silylation may be selectively conducted as a dehydrogenative coupling to prepare the organosilicon ompound as a vinylchlorosilane compound, or as a hydrosilylation to prepare the organosilicon compound as an ethylchlorosilane compound. The catalyst (C) comprises a Ru(0) complex, and may be recycled for use in subsequent silylation reactions without purification. The organosilicon compound prepared according to the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: Described herein are approaches for generating a new queue based on an existing queue. This may include receiving a request to transfer the existing queue from a first device to a second device. A set of move criteria may be evaluated using a playback context, a user profile, a configuration associated with the second device, and/or a level of access constraints. Depending on the results of the evaluation, the existing queue may be completely reformulated to define the new queue. The second device may then be instructed to play the new queue.
