Abstract: Methods and systems for managing and/or processing a blockchain to maintain data security for confidential and/or personal data are provided. According to certain aspects, the disclosed data security techniques may enable access sharing functionality utilizing the blockchain. For example, access sharing may be utilized to file documents, share policy information, and/or comply with an audit. The data security techniques disclosed herein also enable the use of smart contracts to transfer funds associated with payment obligations and/or other forms of blockchain based payments, comply with anti-money laundering requirements, report industry data, validate interest payments and/or maintain agent sales data. Data security may be achieved through the use of public key/private key encryption techniques.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing and/or processing a blockchain to maintain data security for confidential and/or personal data are provided. According to certain aspects, the disclosed data security techniques may enable access sharing functionality utilizing the blockchain. For example, access sharing may be utilized to share policy information. The policy information may be associated with a smart contract. Accordingly, the policy information may be encrypted using a public key for the smart contract and compiled into a block of the blockchain. In response to a request to provide access to the information to a particular node, the private key for the smart contract may be encrypted using the public key for the particular node and compiled into a block of the blockchain.

Abstract: Methods and systems for processing a blockchain comprising a plurality of immutable sales records corresponding to sales made by agents of an entity are provided. According to certain aspects, a transaction request indicating a sale made by an agent of the entity may be received at a first node. A block including a sales record indicating the sale made by the agent may be added to a blockchain and transmitted to another node for validation. The first node may add the block to a copy of the blockchain, where the block may be identified by a hash value that references a previous block in the blockchain that includes at least one additional sales record.

Abstract: A moisture-resistant expendable shipping container of corrugated paperboard for storing and shipping plants. The container may be stacked on top of other containers and may be palletized. It includes at least one shallow tray that forms at least a bottom for the container, and a pair of substantially identical partition members arranged in substantial mirror image relationship to one another in the tray. The partition members are formed of plural angularly interconnected flat panels resting on their edge in the tray, and define a transverse wall extending across a mid-portion of the tray and a peripheral wall extending at least partially to around the periphery of the tray. The partition members provide support for multiple containers stacked on top of one another, and at least partially enclose the plants.

Abstract: A lightweight, very strong form of a concrete beam includes a plurality of U-shaped brace members having vertical, lightweight steel deck sheets secured to the uprights thereof, a strippable, non-stick, plastic liner for contacting the concrete of the beam and a rigid foamed plastic filling the space between the liner and the steel sheets, so that it supports the weight of the concrete poured onto the strippable, plastic liner. A column form is arranged to mate with the beam form, and the beam form may be used to mate with flying deck forms producing an integral, combined column, beam and deck structure. The forms are arranged for easily joining short beam sections to make long beam forms, and to join columns and floor decks with a smooth joint requiring no finishing. The strength of the beam forms reduces the quantity of supports necessary to hold the weight of the forms and poured concrete, and their configuration provides easy and quick stripping of the forms from the set concrete.
