Abstract: A general purpose blockchain (GPB) platform for creating, maintaining, and managing a distributed ledger. The GPB comprises multiple nodes, each configured to host a GPB for storing GPB arbitrary objects. Each GPB arbitrary object comprises an object data, wherein the object data being a structured or unstructured data; a basic data structure implemented in a data markup language that provides self-description of the object data with at least fields for storing the object's origin, the object's owner, the object's transfer history, object's modification/transformation history, the object type, and the object data; and a universal interface for providing an encapsulation or reference to the object data for accessing the object data and an transformation function to allow interoperability of object data of different formats. A plurality of GPB s collectively maintain consensus of changes of the stored GPB arbitrary objects with a plurality of other GPBs.

Abstract: A general purpose blockchain (GPB) providing the capability of native arbitrary computation and storage of any type of digital object with distributed verification technology (DVT) implementation that not only allows scalable arbitrary computational verification of digital objects, but also is agnostic as to the types of object. The GPB platform comprises an interface for interacting with arbitrary objects (“GPB arbitrary objects”). The interface transforms unstructured data into structured, extensible data without loss of fidelity of the underlying data. This is accomplished through a transformation function, which takes as input any arbitrary form of data and provides as output a structured data object upon which cryptographic and other operations necessary to the functions of DVTs can be performed collectively by a plurality of GPB blockchains. One proposed method of creating this structured output uses open-standard, extensible markup language (XML) data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for supporting the mobility of a device in an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)-based wireless sensor network, and more particularly, to a method for supporting the mobility of a device by separating the identifier (ID) and the locator of the device in an IPv6 Low-power Wireless Personal Area Network (6LoWPAN)-based wireless sensor.
