  • DECENTRALIZED NODAL NETWORK FOR PROVIDING SECURITY OF FILES IN DISTRIBUTED FILESYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20200044829
    Abstract: A secure method of maintaining and accessing files (for example, multimedia files) is provided. Each file is divided into fragments or slices and each slice is encrypted and stored on a separate node. Each node is also required to maintain an instance of a public block-chain (or distributed ledger) which holds conventional block-chain transaction information for managing payment for access to the files. Preferably, each node is also paid in digital currency both as a conventional block-chain miner for maintaining the public block-chain and also for maintaining the slices.

  • Electrical smoking system
    Publication number: 20070102013
    Abstract: A tobacco mass is heated to a temperature of about 150° to about 220° C. to release flavorful tobacco volatiles, which are entrained in air passing through the tobacco mass, and condensed to form an inhalable aerosol. The tobacco mass may have a rotationally symmetric shape, with at least part of its surface in heat transfer relationship with a heater. The heater may be an external shell, an internal rod, or a plate. A shell can enclose the heater and tobacco mass and define a preheating chamber for inflowing air. A mouthpiece, with or without a filter, may be arranged in fluid communication with the tobacco mass to direct the aerosol from the heating system.
