Abstract: Systems and methods for generating digital assets corresponding to physical commodities are provided. Attributes identifying a first physical commodity are used to determine environmental attributes of the first physical commodity. Based on the first physical commodity and the environmental attributes, one or more smart contracts are contacted and activated to generate digital assets. The attributes and an indication of the digital asset are used in conjunction with the smart contract to generate a correlated digital asset, which can be recorded on a digital ledger.

Abstract: A sampling probe for enabling the analysis of gaseous species in a particle-laden flue gas. The sampling probe includes a tube for being inserted into a fluid stream of a particle-laden flue gas substantially perpendicular thereto to cause the fluid stream to separate and flow around the tube. The tube includes a first opening extending along a first axially extending face of the tube downstream relative to the fluid stream such that a portion of the gas enters the tube through the first opening for analysis within the tube, and a second opening extending along a second axially extending face of the tube such that the gas that enters the tube through the first opening exits the tube after analysis into the fluid stream through the second opening to allow analysis of the gas.

Abstract: A heatable serving container with a heating portion is described. The container includes a first container and a second container. The first container is formed to be placed against a heating module and hold a heatable food product (e.g., chip dip) therein. The second container is formed to hold a food product therein. The heating module may be placed in a space formed proximate the first container and the second container may be placed upon the heating module, thereby forming the heatable serving container. When the heating module is placed against the first container, the first container is heated and thereby heats the fluid therein.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and program product provide a mechanism for managing the execution of electronic documents using electronic signatures. Documents requiring electronic signatures are automatically identified, mined, trimmed and split from a printer control data language stream. Status information pertaining to needed data, signatories, signature completions and authentication attempts is related to users during and after an electronic signing sequence.
