Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a secure copy of content associated with a non-fungible token (NFT) are disclosed. The system will receive a print request to print digital content that is associated with an NFT, access a blockchain to identify a current owner of the NFT, and generate a print job that with instructions to print the NFT content. If and only if the current owner of the NFT is the requesting entity, the system will print a unique authentication code with the digital content. The system will cause a print engine to print the digital content on a substrate or as a 3D object. In some embodiments, the system may be included in a print device that includes the print engine. Other aspects include a system that verifies whether a printed copy of content is an authorized copy, using the unique authentication code and the NFT described above.

Abstract: A physical layer transceiver for a wireline communications system includes a receive path for communicating signals received from the medium to a functional circuit, a transmit path for communicating signals received from the functional circuit onto the medium, and echo cancellation circuitry for cancelling from the receive path echoes of signals transmitted on the transmit path. The echo cancellation circuitry includes a plurality of high-dynamic-range filter segments, a plurality of low-dynamic-range filter segments, and control circuitry configured to detect on the receive path the echoes of the signals transmitted on the transmit path, classify each echo signal as having a low dynamic range or a high dynamic range, and deploy a high-dynamic-range segment to a location of an echo signal having a high dynamic range, and deploy a low-dynamic-range segment to a location of an echo signal having a low dynamic range.

Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for providing an information feedback loop from one or more third parties to issuing entity in the course of a resource action requiring user-initiated authorization. In the course of user-initiated authorization, information is automatically generated and forwarded to the issuing entity in the form of an advice message. Such data is intelligent forwarded to the appropriate downstream application to streamline user experience, provide pertinent customer feedback, and pre-emptively determine patterns in resource action processing.

Abstract: According to at least one aspect, a fluid flow tube can define a first cavity for receiving a first ultrasonic sensor. The first cavity can have a first longitudinal axis intersecting a longitudinal axis of the fluid flow tube. The fluid flow tube can define a second cavity for receiving a second ultrasonic sensor. The second cavity can have a second longitudinal axis aligned with the first longitudinal axis. The fluid flow tube can define a third cavity having a first transverse cross sectional area larger than a second transverse cross sectional area of the fluid flow tube and sized to receive a shut-off valve.

Abstract: A suspension mount assembly for coupling a first component and a second component of a vehicle comprises a housing including a bore and a first shoulder. The housing is adapted to be coupled to the first component of the vehicle. An elastomeric bushing includes a bore adapted to receive the second component of a vehicle. The elastomeric bushing includes a first portion, a spaced apart ring portion, and a web portion interconnecting the ring portion of the first portion. The ring portion, the web portion and the first portion are integrally formed with one another. A cap includes a peripheral portion having a second shoulder. The elastomeric bushing is positioned within the housing bore with the ring portion being engaged with the first shoulder. The first shoulder cooperates with the second shoulder to trap the ring portion between the housing and the cap and provide a seal and vibration isolator therebetween.

Abstract: Embodiments of methods, apparatuses and systems for transceiver processing are disclosed. One method includes a transceiver receiving a data stream from a link partner transceiver. A link parameter of a link between the transceiver and the link partner transceiver is determined. Allocation of transceiver processing between high-latency processing and low-latency processing is based at least in part on the link parameter.

Abstract: Methods are provided for decoking the radiant coils in an ethylene cracking plant. The decoking process is controlled by monitoring the coil outlet temperature to control the rate of burning of coke in the radiant coils. Air flow rates, steam flow rates and coil outlet temperatures are controlled during the decoking process to prevent tube damage, minimize decoking time and maximize coke removal.

Abstract: A V-configuration torque rod includes an apex joint assembly which includes a cast apex joint housing. A pair of solid rods are threadingly received by the cast apex joint housing and an end joint assembly is attached to the end of each solid rod. A retention system in the form of a clamp or jamb nut secure the solid rods to the cast apex joint housing. A length adjustment mechanism can be incorporated between the solid rods and the end joint assemblies if necessary.

Abstract: A pyrolysis heater particularly for the cracking of hydrocarbons in the production of olefins has a burner arrangement in the firebox which includes staged combustion low NOx hearth burners firing upwardly in the firebox adjacent to the walls. Wall stabilizing gas fuel injection tips, located at an elevation above the hearth burners, inject fuel upwardly between the walls and the flame from the hearth burners. This prevents rollover of the flame onto the process heater coil and overheating of the coil.

Abstract: A pivot bushing that is assembled into an eye of a leaf spring includes an anti-walkout device. The anti-walkout device comprises a retaining ring molded into the elastomeric bushing which is a part of the pivot bushing. The retaining ring is larger in diameter than the eye of the spring such that any tendency of the spring to walk off the pivot bushing is resisted by the retaining ring. The retaining ring is located at only one side of the elastomeric bushing because a leaf spring always has a tendency to wave off the pivot bushing in one direction.
