Abstract: A first smart contract references a second smart contract at a first address. A directory service, which may be implemented using one or more systems, smart contracts, non-fungible tokens, and so on, routes requests to execute the second smart contract from the first address to a second address where the second smart contract is stored. This enables the second smart contract to be moved, modified, replaced, and so on despite the reference to the first address in the first smart contract being fixed without requiring the first smart contract to be replaced.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to ganaxolone derivatives, as well as methods of using the compounds (e.g., for treatment of a disease or disorder), methods of making the compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising the same.

Abstract: A first non-fungible token (NFT) may be created that is associated with an asset associated with a first address. A system and/or one or more smart contracts of one or more other NFTs may implement a directory service associated with the first address. The directory service may receive requests at the first address and route the request directly or indirectly to a second address. The directory service may be configurable such that the second address may be changed. In this way, the asset referenced by the first NFT may be changed. This may add the capabilities of allowing selection between multiple versions of the asset, failure protection through redundancy via multiple copies of the asset, providing of self-executing web microservices, providing storage location flexibility, access control, and so on.

Abstract: Automatic token wallet generation includes generating a token wallet generated for a unique identifier that is associated with a person. The unique identifier may be a communication identifier like an email address, a telephone number, a social media handle, and so on. Storage space may be allocated for the token wallet and may be associated with the unique identifier. One or more NFTs (non-fungible tokens) may then be associated with the token wallet. In some examples, the token wallet may be automatically created in response to a request to associate an NFT with it. In other examples, the token wallet may be created in response to a request to perform other actions related to the token wallet.

Abstract: A non-fungible token (“NFT”) document platform includes a host platform that is operable to create and/or perform one or more transactions related to one or more NFTs on behalf of and/or for one or more other entities. Creation of the NFTs may involve creation of one or more smart contracts, storage of the smart contracts and/or the NFTs in one or more blockchains, and so on. The NFT document platform may also be operable to mint one or more documents, such as one or more birth certificates, contracts and other signed documents, titles, prescriptions, licenses and/or identification documents, checks, money, gift cards, and so on. The smart contracts and/or NFTs may correspond to the one or more minted documents. The NFTs may be usable to authenticate the minted documents, evidence ownership of the minted documents, control the ability to perform transactions regarding the minted documents, and so on.

Abstract: A system uses one or more non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for authentication. An NFT and an associated smart contract may be generated and stored on a blockchain for authority that is to be delegated to a delegate on behalf of a delegator. The NFT may then be provided to the delegate, who may use the NFT to authenticate himself in order to act on the delegated authority. Subsequently, the NFT may be transferred, revoked, marked expired, and/or otherwise controlled by the delegator in order to control the authority delegated to the delegate.

Abstract: A storage controller of a network controlled content recording system that uses a combination of network and local storage determines to record content for a user. The storage controller performs an evaluation to determine whether to store the content in network or local storage. The evaluation may include evaluating a set of rules and/or characteristics of the user, characteristics of the content, characteristics of a request to record the content, and so on. The storage controller then arranges for the content to be recorded accordingly. Subsequently, the storage controller may reevaluate storage locations and direct transfer accordingly. This reevaluation may include determining that various characteristics related to the user, the content, and so on have changed and that transfer is appropriate due to that change.

Abstract: A system for location verification and enforcement receives an authorization request to access content from a content access device. The authorization request includes and/or is associated with location information obtained from a gateway device via a local area network and determined using multiple communication networks. The location information is compared to a record indicating that the content access device and the gateway device were both present at a location. When the location information matches the record, an authorization is transmitted to the content access device. The content access device may be operative to access the content upon receiving the authorization.

Abstract: A content access device ranks content that is available to be accessed based at least on previous user content selection behavior information compared to a current situation. The content access device generates and presents a content access (or navigation) menu that indicates content selected based on the ranking. The menu may include a primary menu element that corresponds to and presents a highest ranked of the content, a secondary menu element that corresponds to and presents still images of a secondary ranked group of the content that are all smaller than the primary menu element, and a tertiary menu element that corresponds to and presents text descriptions of a tertiary ranked group of the content that are all smaller than the still images.

Abstract: A digital video recorder apparatus, system and method for recording programming material and removing limitations of a storage medium by pulling adaptive bit rate segments from a content delivery network.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a method of content access device geolocation verification includes determining local geolocation information, identifying proximate content access devices that are associated with a content delivery network provider, and transmitting the information to a content delivery network provider device that takes an action if a location of a content access device mismatches a recorded location. In some embodiments, a content delivery network provider device receives local geolocation information and data regarding identified proximate content access devices from an electronic device, analyzes the information to determine whether a location of a content access device mismatches a recorded location, and, if the location of the content access device mismatches the recorded location, takes an action.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions and a processing unit that executes the instructions to present a group of selectable elements. Each of the selectable elements in the group corresponds to content assets accessed by a user. The group is ordered according to chronological access. Selection of a selectable element from the group provides access to content determined based on the respective content asset, an application used to access the respective content asset, and information regarding previous user behavior. The electronic device may be a content access device, such as a set top box, a digital video recorder, and so on.
