  • Publication number: 20240250593
    Abstract: A flywheel system including a rotor forming an aperture extending through a rotation axis of the rotor and a fixture including a shaft assembly for passing through the aperture of the rotor, wherein the rotor rotates about the shaft assembly. The shaft assembly includes a bottom support, a top support, a central rod connecting the bottom support to the top support, a plurality of stacked modules, each module forming an aperture for receiving the central rod, a top pre-tensioning nut affixed to a top end of the central rod, and a bottom pretensioning nut affixed to a bottom end of the central rod. The top pre-tensioning nut and the bottom pre-tensioning nut clamp the plurality of stacked modules between the bottom support and the top support.

  • Publication number: 20240121114
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for recommending network processing routes when conducting blockchain operations. For example, the system may receive a first user request to perform a first blockchain operation across one or more computer networks to access a first blockchain asset. The system may then determine a first processing characteristic for the first user request and a first plurality of locations of the first blockchain asset (e.g., across the one or more computer networks). The system may then determine a first plurality of network routes to a first subset of the first plurality of locations. The system may then filter the first plurality of network routes (e.g., based on the first processing characteristic) to generate a first subset of the plurality of network routes. Based on the first subset of the plurality of network routes, the system may generate a first recommendation for performing the blockchain operation.

  • Patent number: 8858214
    Abstract: An apparatus for simultaneously forming and filling a plastic container is provided. A mold cavity defines an internal surface and is adapted to accept a preform. A pressure source includes an inlet and a piston-like device. The piston-like device is moveable in a first direction wherein liquid is drawn into the pressure source through the inlet and in a second direction wherein the liquid is urged toward the preform. A blow nozzle may be adapted to receive the liquid from the pressure source and transfer the liquid at high pressure into the preform thereby urging the preform to expand toward the internal surface of the mold cavity and creating a resultant container. The liquid remains within the container as an end product.
