  • Patent number: 11966351
    Abstract: A network interface device comprises a streaming data processing path comprising a first data processing engine and hubs. A first scheduler associated with a first hub controls an output of data by the first hub to the first data processing engine and a second scheduler associated with a second hub controls an output of data by the second hub. The first hub is arranged upstream of the first data processing engine on the data processing path and is configured to receive data from a first upstream data path entity and from a first data processing entity implemented in programmable circuitry via a data ingress interface of the first hub. The first data processing engine is configured to receive data from the first hub, process the received data and output the processed data to the second hub arranged downstream of first data processing engine.

  • Publication number: 20240127258
    Abstract: The following relates generally to creating a backup of data and/or settings of a smart device. In some embodiments, one or more processors receive the data and/or settings of the smart device. The one or more processors may then mint a non-fungible token (NFT) that references a link to a data storage area. The data storage area may store: (i) an identification of the smart device, and/or (ii) the received data and/or settings of the smart device. The following also relates generally to providing a warranty of an item. In some embodiments, one or more processors detect an indication of a sale. The one or more processors may then mint a warranty non-fungible token (NFT) that: (a) is owned by the owner of the item, (b) identifies the item, and (c) identifies warranty information of the item.

  • Patent number: 11961140
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a latency floor mechanism for processing incoming orders to an electronic trading system which impart a delay on orders, not when they are received, but when they are matched by the match engine/CLOB thereby imparting zero added latency between order submission/modifications/cancellations and price market data publication by the electronic trading system because the disclosed randomization processing delay applies only to matched orders, which represent a small fraction of the market events.

  • Publication number: 20240112266
    Abstract: The following relates generally to providing insurance for a non-fungible token (NFT). For example, an NFT may represent ownership of a digital asset, such as an image and/or video. However, NFTs are sometimes lost (e.g., due to hacking, data corruption, etc.), and it thus may be wise to purchase insurance for the NFT. As such, in some embodiments, one or more processors: receive a request to purchase insurance for an NFT; determine an insurance premium for the NFT; and send an insurance quote including the determined insurance premium.

  • Publication number: 20240103982
    Abstract: The following relates generally to providing insurance for one or more virtual items in a virtual environment. In some embodiments, an insurance server receives a request for insurance for one or more virtual items from a customer. The insurance server then obtains information associated with the one or more virtual items from a virtual environment server, and determines an insurance premium based upon the received information. The following also relates generally to providing backups of virtual items. In some embodiments, a backup server creates backups of virtual items by writing data associated with the virtual item to a data store. The virtual items may be fungible or non-fungible. In some embodiments, the virtual items are periodically backed up.
