  • Publication number: 20220337415
    Abstract: A method is provided to leverage blockchain based data tokenization to randomly tokenize encrypted and nonencrypted data elements within a data set represented in a 3-dimensional form, wherein the tokens are distributed and reordered into the correct position using a key pair match and Verifiable Self Sovereign Identification (VSSI). The key pair and VSSI credentials must be presented in order to distribute the tokenized data elements into the correct 3-dimensional position within the data set upon verification of the match of the key pair and the prescribed VSSI.

  • Patent number: 11475639
    Abstract: The disclosed artificial reality system can provide a user self representation in an artificial reality environment based on a self portion from an image of the user. The artificial reality system can generate the self representation by applying a machine learning model to classify the self portion of the image. The machine learning model can be trained to identify self portions in images based on a set of training images, with portions tagged as either depicting a user from a self-perspective or not. The artificial reality system can display the self portion as a self representation in the artificial reality environment by positioning them in the artificial reality environment relative to the user's perspective in the artificial reality environment. The artificial reality system can also identify movements of the user and can adjust the self representation to match the user's movement, providing more accurate self representations.

  • Publication number: 20220296252
    Abstract: An automatic tourniquet apparatus comprises a tourniquet cuff, a pressure transducer, a user interface, a patient hazard shield and a pressure regulator. The pressure transducer produces a cuff pressure signal. The user interface produces a reference pressure signal. The patient hazard shield is responsive to the cuff pressure signal and the reference pressure signal, and operable during a regulation time period to produce a patient hazard signal if, in one implementation, a current level of pressure in the tourniquet cuff is greater than the reference level of pressure by at least a predetermined overpressure limit. The pressure regulator is responsive to the patient hazard signal, and has a pressurizing element for increasing pressure in the cuff and a depressurizing element for decreasing pressure in the cuff. The pressurizing element is configured to be non-responsive if the patient hazard signal is produced.

  • Patent number: 11447034
    Abstract: A vehicle control system and method include one or more processors that determine that a vehicle has or will have insufficient energy to power a propulsion system of the vehicle under a first set of operational settings to move the vehicle from a first location to a designated second location that is outside of an unpowered segment of a route along which the vehicle moves. Responsive to determining that the vehicle has or will have insufficient energy, the one or more processors change one or more of a throttle setting or a brake setting of the vehicle to operate the vehicle under a second set of operational settings while the vehicle moves within a powered segment of the route.

  • Patent number: 11448475
    Abstract: This invention is generally related to the firearm/shooting and magazine loading industry. Many firearms are fed ammunition via a detachable magazine, which is generally a rectangular tube with an internal guide, operated by a spring. Ammunition is typically loaded from the top, one round at a time. Ammunition generally comes either loose, not contained in any grouping outside of the box, or on stripper clips, a small strip of metal that usually holds between five and ten rounds. This invention loads ammunition on stripper clips into magazines using mechanical leverage with a plunger (1) operated by a lever (2), travelling down rails (3), that pushes the rounds into the magazine. The stripper clip and magazine are held into place by their respective holders (4)(5).

  • Patent number: 11449936
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling use of a credit pool in connection with electronic trading in a plurality of product groups via a set of match engines are described. Credit data indicative of a current magnitude of the credit pool is obtained. A plurality of allocations of the credit pool are determined, based on the credit pool, across the plurality of product groups. For each allocation of the plurality of allocations, allocation data indicative of the allocation is provided to a respective credit controller of a set of credit controllers. The respective credit controller is disposed at a respective match engine to which a respective product group of the plurality of product groups is assigned. The use of the credit pool for an incoming order in a respective product group is thus limited in accordance with the allocation data provided to the credit controller at the respective match engine.

  • Publication number: 20220284513
    Abstract: A optimization processor in a data transaction processing system receives an electronic data multiple transaction request message including multiple electronic data transaction requests, and determines whether some of the electronic data transaction requests should be routed through or bypass transaction integrity modules designed to detect and mitigate undesirable object conditions. The optimization processor may also determine whether some of the electronic data transaction requests should be routed through or bypass transaction processing modules designed to match or attempt to match electronic data transaction requests. The optimization processor may, in one embodiment, rely upon previous decisions made by the modules. The optimization processor may also access data structures storing information about a current environment state to determine whether an electronic data transaction request should be routed through the time consuming transaction integrity and transaction processing modules.

  • Publication number: 20220256960
    Abstract: It is common for the organizers of endurance sports to provide aid stations along the route where participants may receive water to prevent dehydration. To reduce waste at these events, organizers encourage ‘cupless’ races that requiring participants to carry their own vessels. The present invention comprises a hat with a visor, such as a baseball style cap, with a collapsible drinking vessel integrated into the visor. During the course of the race, a runner may encounter a water stop and require a vessel to contain the liquid for immediate consumption. At such time the runner can simply remove their hat and configure the vessel to the open position to receive the liquid. Post-consumption the vessel is configured back to the closed position and becomes seamlessly integrated into the visor with no negative effects upon the runner.
