  • Patent number: 12574334
    Abstract: This disclosure describes a payload pipeline system that, as part of an inter-network facilitation system, can facilitate digital payload throughput between network components using a staggered payload relayer. For example, the disclosed systems utilize custom tooling to implement a staggered payload relayer as an intelligent conduit or pipeline that operates as a publisher-subscriber paradigm system (as opposed to a data stream system). In some cases, the disclosed systems can utilize synchronous or asynchronous communication to receive digital payloads for events from publisher network components and to make the digital payloads available within a payload queue maintained by the staggered payload relayer (for access by subscriber network components).

  • Publication number: 20250307824
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for generating and utilizing movement identifiers to identify transactions in a secured deposit network transaction chain. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems initiate a network transaction as a secured deposit network transaction chain comprising a first intermediate transaction from a secured deposit account to a debit account and a second intermediate transaction from the debit account to an additional account. Moreover, the disclosed systems intelligently display the network transaction in a user interface by displaying the network transaction as a transaction from the secured deposit account to the additional account.

  • Patent number: 12296306
    Abstract: The present invention is related to an installation and to a method for recirculating and mixing a fluid which is preferably a shear-thinning fluid. The installation comprises a tank, a pump, a piping assembly connected to the pump and comprising an injection piping for injecting said fluid into the tank and a return piping coupled to the injection piping for pumping the said fluid from the tank to the injection piping, wherein the piping assembly and the tank form a flow recirculation path in which fluid is homogenized by recirculation of the fluid upon action of the said pump, the injection piping being designed such as to reinject the fluid in at least two peripheral bottom locations with an horizontal and/or inclined orientation such as to create a swirl movement in the tank and to reinject simultaneously said fluid upwardly through a central location in a zone comprised between the central axis of the tank and the half radius of the tank such as to create a jet of fluid having a main vertical component.

  • Publication number: 20230394478
    Abstract: The disclosure describes embodiments of systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable storage media that generates and publishes unified transaction streams from a plurality of computer networks for downstream computer service systems. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems identify transaction information over time from a variety of different transaction computer networks. For example, the disclosed systems identify different transaction events at different times from different transaction computer networks that utilize individual transaction schemas. The disclosed systems dynamic ally convert and combine these transaction events in real time to generate and publish a unified transaction stream for utilization by a variety of computer service systems.

  • Patent number: 11304374
    Abstract: The invention relates to an end-effector device and automated selective thinning system. The system includes vision acquisition hardware, kinematic targeting and heuristic programming, a robotic arm, and a pomologically designed end-effector. The system is utilized to improve efficiency for the fruit-thinning process in a tree orchard, such as peach thinning. By automating the mechanical process of fruit thinning, selective fruit-thinners can eliminate manual labor inputs and further enhance favorable blossom removal. Automation used in conjunction with a heuristic approach provides improvements to the system. The system may also be configured as a robotic arm or as a handheld system by including a battery and switching microcontroller with handle or wrist straps. Handheld thinning devices that are mechanical in nature may also be part of the system.
