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.

Abstract: A flywheel system includes a rotor and a fixture. The rotor forms an aperture. The fixture includes a bottom support, a top support, and a shaft connecting the bottom support to the top support. The shaft passes through the aperture. The bottom support and the top support are outside opposite ends of the aperture. The rotor is configured to rotate about the shaft. A method for operating a flywheel system includes converting between rotational energy of a rotor and electrical energy in windings of a generator stator that is implemented in a stationary shaft passing through an aperture of the rotor, while the rotor is rotating about the shaft.

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.
