  • Publication number: 20240143806
    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.

  • Patent number: 11954214
    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.

  • Publication number: 20240111881
    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.

  • Patent number: 11460370
    Abstract: A multi-axis vibration test system uses a mounting fixture formed from a solid block of Aluminum alloy, at least 20? per side, and machined to form bearing recesses that receive the pad bearings to overcome the problems of existing systems and deliver the required amplitude of linear displacement over the frequency test band in all three, and possibly six, axes simultaneously and uniformly over the mounting surface(s) for both commercial and the more stringent military standards.

  • Publication number: 20030177647
    Abstract: A miniature roller plane for making fine cuts in straight and concave surfaces of a workpiece. The roller plane includes a mounting frame to move along the workpiece, a roller attached to the front of the mounting frame, and a threaded shaft projecting from the opposite end of the mounting frame to which a pushing force is applied. The roller at the front of the mounting frame may have a cylindrical or a barrel shaped configuration to facilitate the mounting frame riding over straight and concave surfaces. An adjustable cutting blade is slidable over a ramp face of the mounting frame. The position of the cutting blade along the ramp face is selectively adjusted with micrometer precision by way of a rotatable thumb nut that is coupled to and movable axially along the threaded shaft towards the cutting blade. Once the position of the cutting blade has been selected, a lock down bar applies a holding pressure against the cutting blade to prevent a further displacement of the cutting blade over the ramp face.
