  • Patent number: 12210134
    Abstract: An environmental monitoring network has transportable, self-contained, environment sensing capsules, each capsule is water-proof, with first and second sections, the second section being hollow. Apertures in the capsule's housing enable fluid and gas entry wherein first sensor(s) disposed internal to the housing measure within the hollow, and second sensor(s) disposed external to the housing measure external to the housing. A controller and power system are connected to the first and second sensors and transmits measured data. An access entry way is on a side of the housing, enabling access to first sensors, controller system, power system, and the communication system. A central data server is configured to receive and analyze the measurement data sent from the capsules. There is a priority list of appropriate personnel for contact by the central data server in an event there is an emergency condition at a capsule location.

  • Publication number: 20230421363
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for secure storage and transmission of a cryptocurrency encryption key. The apparatus comprises a microprocessor, a security module comprising a memory storing a first private key and a first public key, a quantum computing module comprising a quantum chip with one or more qubits, a speaker, and a microphone. The microprocessor converts a random string generated by the quantum computing module into a second private key. The microprocessor creates a second public key using the second private key. The microprocessor encrypts the second private key using the first private key from the security module. The microprocessor generates a signature for the second public key using the first private key. The microprocessor generates, using the speaker, ultrasonic sound waves corresponding to the second public key and the signature, and transmits the ultrasonic sound waves to a remote computing device.
