  • Patent number: 11769577
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for authenticating requestors and granting access to a permissioned blockchain network shared among enterprise entities. A decentralized registry of credentialed users, in which credentialed users guard their own access information by keeping a private key of a public-private keypair enables systems to avoid keeping information of a large number of users in large, vulnerable containers. A further method removes authenticated users seeking to be forgotten from the registry of users and deletes any personally identifiable information of the withdrawing users.

  • Patent number: 11741215
    Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches an implementation for leveraging self-sovereign credentials held on mobile devices to provision credentials that empower one party (“recipient” or “user”, used synonymously herein) to obtain credentialed access to information and resources on behalf of another party (“sender” or “administrator”, used synonymously herein), without either party exposing private key information to each other or to the cloud. The sender is able to revoke user credentials at any time. Parties are able to leverage commodity hardware to automatically mutually authenticate their credentials and access available relevant options and workflows.

  • Patent number: 11741216
    Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches a method for revocation of user credentials for controlling user access to a private permissioned blockchain data structure or decentralized personal ledger, comprising an administrative logic configured to de-configure user private keys from keystores of respective users. The administrative logic further comprises a revocation logic configured to receive a unique identifier linked to a keystore of a particular user in response to the keystore, and the revocation logic is further configured to revoke access of the keystore based on the unique identifier.

  • Publication number: 20230267393
    Abstract: System and methods for dynamic replenishment in a facility are disclosed. A mobile inventory processing device reads a machine readable tag affixed to a perishable item and transmits an indication of the perishable item to a stock inventory processing device. The stock inventory processing device retrieves a stock inventory value corresponding to the perishable item and a historic daily sales value for the perishable item from a database. The stock inventory processing device determines a restocking value based on whether the historic daily sales value exceeds the stock inventory value. The stock inventory processing device transmits a second indication to the mobile inventory processing device, The second indication correspond to insufficient shelf stock of the perishable item. The mobile inventory processing device receives the second indication and outputs an auditory alert in response to the second indication.

  • Publication number: 20230182865
    Abstract: A watercraft includes a hull, an opening extending through the hull, the opening configured to receive a removable propulsion mechanism, and an insert removably insertable into the opening. The insert includes an inner cavity, an aperture configured to be at least partially submerged in a fluid when the watercraft is positioned on the fluid, the aperture being configured to provide fluid communication between the inner cavity of the insert and the fluid as the watercraft travels in a forward direction, and a surface shaped and dimensioned such that a first pressure within the inner cavity is greater than a second pressure at the aperture as the watercraft travels in the forward direction.

  • Publication number: 20230177473
    Abstract: A facility readiness inspection system and method are disclosed. Embodiments comprise an asset database comprising inspection task definition for assets. An inspection coordination application program interface (API) can create at least one periodic inspection task list. Each periodic inspection task list can include a number of tasks and assets, chosen based on the total time allotted for completion of the periodic inspection task list and the complexity of the inspection task definitions of each physical asset. Mobile electronic device can be configured to present the periodic inspection task list as a series of discrete tasks and to receive task list response data in response to each discrete task. Response data can be compared to benchmarks and standards, and issues can be escalated to external systems. An analytics engine can automatically produce inspection compliance documentation for each of the physical assets related to the periodic inspection task list.

  • Publication number: 20230149706
    Abstract: Methods, systems and devices are provided which transmit energy to a body lumen or passageway in the form of pulsed electric fields (PEFs) and in a manner which provides focal therapy. In some embodiments, PEFs are delivered through independent electrically active electrodes of an energy delivery body, typically in a monopolar fashion. Such delivery concentrates the electrical energy over a smaller surface area, resulting in stronger effects than delivery through an electrode extending circumferentially around the lumen or passageway. It also forces the electrical energy to be delivered in a staged regional approach, mitigating the effect of preferential current pathways through the surrounding tissue. Focal delivery of PEFs can provide increased tissue lethality by employing precise timing and sequencing of energy delivery to the electrodes.
