Abstract: It is proposed a technical solution to leverage the characteristics and generally speaking, the performance of DLT networks. This solution proposes building a federation of DLT networks which work together regardless of the underlying technologies to guarantee data consistency, wider consensus and enhanced trust. The proposed solution includes, among others, a distributed transport mechanism for the exchange of control data between the different networks of the federation; and the spread and storage of “proofs of history” of the network to protect and validate the connected networks integrity.

Abstract: A method of forming a multi-principal element alloy may include selecting a targeted composition, the targeted composition defining two or more elements and their respective proportions, determining a theoretical relative feed rate of two or more feedstock materials, determining a series of feedstock relative feed rates based on the theoretical relative feed rate, each member of the series defining a relative feed rate of the feedstock materials, forming a functionally graded material article in a directed energy deposition test process by successively matching a test deposition relative feed rate to each member of the series of feedstock relative feed rates, analyzing the functionally graded material article to determine a empirical feedstock relative feed rate of the series of feedstock relative feed rates, and forming the multi-principal element alloy in a directed energy deposition production process by matching a production deposition relative feed rate to the empirical feedstock relative feed rate.

Abstract: It is proposed a technical solution to leverage the level of trust in scenarios with a high number of independent computing nodes from independent and heterogeneous DLT networks. This solution defines the technical modules required to implement a self-governed decentralized infrastructure that ensures that every participant node (computing node) in a DLT network connected to the proposed system (implementing the proposed method) can exploit additional validation and consensus policies in their transactions and smart contracts. Through the proposed mechanism they can enjoy an equivalent level of trust as if all the nodes from the connected networks were part of a single common DLT network. The proposed solution enables the implementation of dedicated validation policies to leverage the level of trust of any of the connected networks without the need of dedicated infrastructure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to silica-based heterogeneous zinc compounds which are suitable as catalysts in the reaction of amines with dialkyl carbonates to produce carbamates. The catalysts have the formula [SiO2]—CH2—CHR—X—COOZn[Y], wherein [SiO2] represents a silica carrier selected from the group consisting of ordered mesoporous silica and irregular amorphous narrow pore silica, R represents a moiety selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, —CH3, and —CH2CH3, preferably hydrogen, X is an aliphatic chain of 2 to 11 carbon atoms that optionally comprises ether moieties and [Y] represents a mono anion. The invention is also directed towards a method for the preparation of the aforementioned compounds and towards method for the alkoxycarbonylation of amines.

Abstract: Method and system for recovering cryptographic keys of a blockchain network. A computing device or an element associated with the same has stored a pair of cryptographic keys representative of the identity of the user in a blockchain network, including a public key and a private key. An identity manager maintains a registry of the user in a distributed directory. When a request from the user is received due to the loss/theft of their private key, the information on the public key of the user is eliminated from the registry and the user is revoked as the owner of a smart contract, a new pair of keys is generated, stored in the device or in said element; and the user is identified and authenticated. Once correctly authenticated, the manager receives the new public key of the user, updates the registry and updates the ownership of the smart contract.
