Abstract: A non-transitory, processor-readable medium stores instructions to cause a processor to receive an address of an autonomous program and an identifier of a cryptographic data segment. The instructions further cause the processor to generate, based on the address of the autonomous program and the identifier of the cryptographic data segment, a first serialized message configured to call an interrupt function defined by the autonomous program to cause the identifier of the cryptographic data segment to be included in a register. The processor further generates, based on an address of a second user, a second serialized message configured to call a release function defined by the autonomous program to cause removal of the identifier of the cryptographic data segment from the register. In response to generating the second serialized message, the processor generates a third serialized message configured to cause the cryptographic data segment to be possessed by the second user.

Abstract: A container lifting and weighing assembly for determining a weight of a container, the assembly having: a frame for supporting a container, the frame being connectable to a support surface to transfer a weight of the container from the container to the support surface; a lifting structure locatable between the container and the support surface, the lifting structure having one or more movable actuators and a load sensor, the lifting structure being movable between: a rest position, wherein the load path from the container to the support surface does not traverse the lifting structure; and a weighing position, wherein the lifting structure lifts the container such that the load path from the container to the support surface traverses the lifting structure, wherein, in the weighing position, the load sensor is adapted to provide a load sensor signal indicative of the weight of the container.

Abstract: An improved riser system which comprises a connector for connecting conduits and a mooring system for mooring the connector to the floor of a body of water. The connector may include a pivoting device. The improved riser system also comprises a buoy system for supporting the connector. The buoy system is configured to provide a fixed buoyancy for the connector, the mooring system and at least a portion of the conduits and for providing variable buoyancy for placement of the connector at a predetermined water depth. The improved riser system may also include a flexible conduit made of titanium.
