  • Publication number: 20250056763
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for monitoring fluid line in a vehicle configured to remove heat from an electronic device with a coolant. The systems may include a pump configured to flow the coolant through the fluid line, a sensing device configured to sense vibrations in the fluid line, and a controller that is configured to: receive vehicle state data, determine a recommended flow rate of the coolant based on the vehicle state data, determine vibration signal thresholds based on the vehicle state data and the recommended flow rate, initiate operation of the pump to flow the coolant at the recommended flow rate, determine whether the flow of the coolant is stable, receive sensor data indicative of the vibrations, determine signal characteristic(s) of the vibrations while the flow is stable, and initiate a remedial action based on a comparison of the signal characteristic(s) to the vibration signal thresholds.

  • Publication number: 20240428231
    Abstract: A method for automatic initiation of a blockchain transaction with a pre-approved recipient includes: receiving at least a recipient identifier and a transaction amount; performing a validation process to validate that (i) the recipient identifier is pre-approved by a user of the computing device for blockchain transactions, and (ii) the transaction amount is beneath a predetermined amount limit for blockchain transactions; generating a new blockchain transaction including at least the recipient identifier, the transaction amount, and one or more source addresses; digitally signing the new blockchain transaction using a private key of a first cryptographic key pair stored in a memory of the computing device; and transmitting the digitally signed new blockchain transaction to a blockchain node in a blockchain network.

  • Patent number: 12086802
    Abstract: A method for mediating an atomic swap includes: receiving a swap request from a first computing device including a first address associated with a first blockchain and a network identifier associated with a second blockchain; identifying a second computing device using the network identifier and a second address associated with the second blockchain; generating a proof value and a hashlock using the proof value; transmitting (i) the hashlock and second address to the first computing device, and (ii) the hashlock and first address to the second computing device; verifying a first blockchain transaction on the first blockchain for transfer to the first address, and a second blockchain transaction on the second blockchain for transfer to the second address; and transmitting the proof value to blockchains node associated with the first and second blockchains.

  • Publication number: 20240104560
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for digitization of payment cards for Web 3.0 (“Web3”) and metaverse transactions are provided. The described systems and techniques allow for the use of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to represent a payment token for making a payment inside a Web3 and Metaverse environment. Indeed, the described systems and techniques provide a financial NFT enabled representation of a payment card account as a token in a blockchain network, which can then be used to facilitate Web3 payments with real-time fiat to crypto exchanges.

  • Publication number: 20230092733
    Abstract: An access control method comprises: providing access profiles for users, wherein each access profile comprises an access profile identifier and at least one personal identifier mapped to one or more obfuscated payment numbers, and wherein each of the at least one personal identifiers is a non-payment identifier issued by an identity provider; receiving, from a terminal of a service provider, a request to validate permission for a user of a payment device to access a resource made available by the service provider, the request comprising an obfuscated payment number read by the terminal from the payment device; determining whether there is a match of the obfuscated payment number read by the terminal and one of the obfuscated payment numbers of the access profiles; and transmitting at least one of the identifiers of the matched access profile to the service provider for matching to a stored identifier associated with the resource.
