  • Patent number: 10810683
    Abstract: An original transaction data store may provide information about a series of transactions over time. A transaction data collection platform may group some of those transactions into a subset of transactions and apply a hash function to that subset to create a signature representing verifiable state information associated with an enterprise. The transaction data collection platform may then record information about the signature via a secure, distributed transaction meta-ledger without recording the subset of transactions. According to some embodiments, a transaction audit platform may retrieve the signature from the meta-ledger and retrieve original information associated with the subset of transactions (e.g., from an offline original transaction data store).

  • Publication number: 20200202467
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system may include an additive manufacturing platform that provides additive manufacturing capability data. A customer platform, associated with a customer, may transmit an industrial asset item request for an industrial asset item. A digital transaction engine may receive the additive manufacturing capability data and the industrial asset item request. The digital transaction engine may then associate the industrial asset item request with an industrial asset definition file, and, based on the additive manufacturing capability data and the industrial asset definition file, assign the industrial asset item request to the additive manufacturing platform. The assignment of the industrial asset item request may be recorded via a secure, distributed transaction ledger. Responsive to the assignment, the additive manufacturing platform may create the industrial asset item (e.g., via an additive manufacturing printer) and provide the item to the customer.

  • Publication number: 20200171750
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a computer processor may receive an item definition file containing a volumetric description of the three-dimensional item and create a compressed item definition file including a compressed volumetric description of the three-dimensional item. For example, the item definition file may include a plurality of item slices, from a bottom item slice to a top item slice, each item slice describing a two-dimensional portion of the three-dimensional item. For at least some of the item slices, the computer processor may encode data in the item definition file describing a particular item slice in terms of differences between that particular item slice and another item slice (e.g., a neighboring item slice directly below that particular item slice or an anchor item slice below that particular item slice).

  • Publication number: 20200076198
    Abstract: A system may include an energy reservoir controller associated with a microgrid's energy reservoir adapted to store energy (e.g., a battery to store electrical energy). A computer processor of the energy reservoir controller may receive indications of digital currency tokens from a token creation platform. At least some of the digital currency tokens may be placed into an available energy container based on an amount of energy stored in the energy reservoir. A consumer within the microgrid may submit a transaction request for energy, and it may be arranged for an amount of energy to be transferred from the energy reservoir to the consumer. Based on the amount of energy transferred to the consumer, a number of digital currency tokens may be moved from the available energy container into a used energy container. Information about the transaction request may then be recorded via a secure, distributed transaction ledger.

  • Publication number: 20190385120
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a system to facilitate transaction processing associated with an industrial asset supply chain having a first entity and a second entity. A first entity computer processor may retrieve, from a first entity database, information associated with pre-delivery data about the industrial asset. The first entity computer processor may then record pre-delivery data about the industrial asset via a secure, distributed transaction ledger. A second entity computer processor may retrieve, from a second entity database, information associated with a post-delivery event involving the industrial asset. The second entity computer processor may then record post-delivery event data about the industrial asset via a secure, distributed transaction ledger. The post-delivery event data might indicate, for example, that the industrial asset has been delivered, has been installed, is working properly, has been used, etc.

  • Publication number: 20190288847
    Abstract: A verification platform may include a data connection to receive a stream of industrial asset data, including a subset of the industrial asset data, from industrial asset sensors. The verification platform may store the subset of industrial asset data into a data store, the subset of industrial asset data being marked as invalid, and record a hash value associated with a compressed representation of the subset of industrial asset data combined with metadata in a secure, distributed ledger (e.g., associated with blockchain technology). The verification platform may then receive a transaction identifier from the secure, distributed ledger and mark the subset of industrial asset data in the data store as being valid after using the transaction identifier to verify that the recorded hash value matches a hash value of an independently created version of the compressed representation of the subset of industrial asset data combined with metadata.

  • Publication number: 20190286102
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a lossless protection procedure may be applied to control distribution of a print geometry of an industrial asset item. For example, an item definition data store may contain electronic records defining a geometry of the industrial asset item. A signature identifier encoder platform may determine a unique signature identifier associated with the industrial asset item and modify the geometry of the industrial asset item to encode therein information about the unique signature identifier. In some cases, for example, this may be done by adjusting a scanning pattern of a fill region (e.g., stripe, checkerboard, etc.) or a support structure of the industrial asset item. An authentication platform may then receive, from a sensor (e.g., an X-ray), a measured characteristic parameter of an item to be authenticated and determine a signature identifier of the item (which can be used to authenticate the item).

  • Publication number: 20190149633
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system to facilitate hierarchical data exchange may include an aggregation platform data store containing electronic records. A data aggregation platform may collect, from a plurality of data source devices, information associated with a plurality of data sources and store the collected information into the aggregation platform data store. The data aggregation platform may also receive a data request from a data consumer device, and, responsive to the received data request, determine a precision tier associated with the data request. The data aggregation platform may then automatically calculate a resource value for the data request based on the precision tier. It may then be arranged for information from the aggregation platform data store to be modified and transmitted to the data consumer device.
