Publication number: 20250092753Abstract: A regulator valve has a check valve manifold for use in subsea control circuits. For example, the regulator valve having the check valve manifold can be used in a circuit between a directional control valve and an actuator for a gate valve. The check valve manifold can have a flange that attaches to the regulator valve to communicate with the supply-side and outlet-side of the regulator valve. Internal communication inside the manifold includes a check valve. If the pressure in the circuit downstream of the regulator valve needs to be vented, the check valve can open to allow the pressure to bleed from the outlet-side back to the supply-side without needing to pass through the internal pressure control valve of the regulator.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Inventors: Chris Roy, Frank Harold Hollister, Nathan Zepeda, Robert E.

Patent number: 12169815Abstract: Systems and methods exchange a nonfungible token (NFT) via blockchain cross-chain fungible token transfers using first and second blockchains. The first blockchain holds the NFT in a first escrow digital wallet. The NFT is available for trade by a seller and is associated with a trade value. The first blockchain monitors a balance of fungible tokens, owned by a buyer, that are transferred from a second blockchain to a second escrow digital wallet of the first blockchain. In response to detecting that the balance monitored represents the trade value, the first blockchain transfers, simultaneously, (i) the NFT from the first escrow digital wallet to a first digital wallet of the first blockchain, the first digital wallet owned by the buyer, and (ii) the balance of fungible tokens from the second escrow digital wallet to a second digital wallet of the second blockchain, the second digital wallet owned by the seller.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2023Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: Frontage Road Holdings, LLCInventors: Josh Williams, Raymond A.

Publication number: 20240242201Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that authorize blockchain network transactions based on a work requirement. A blockchain network has a plurality of nodes. At least one node of the plurality of nodes is configured to determine whether a token has satisfied a work requirement. The work requirement represents participation of performing work within the blockchain network. The at least one node is further configured to approve a transaction as a function of determining that the work requirement has been satisfied and, to disapprove the transaction as a function of determining that the work requirement has not been satisfied. By enabling the transaction to be approved based on a work requirement, the token, for example, can be authenticated as having an inherent functional value. In this way, the blockchain network or token exchange can attest to the token not being a security, which would be subject to federal securities and regulations.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2024Publication date: July 18, 2024Inventors: Josh Williams, Raymond A.
