Abstract: The digital content platform is a series of groundbreaking technologies, namely its innovative Blockchain-based scarcity liking system, its 3D augmented reality recording methodology, and its storage and transmission mechanism of that 3D content. The technology behind the present invention solves multiple issues that currently exist within the technology space to democratize innovation and technology for the masses. The present invention uses cryptocurrency and Blockchain technology to implement a liking system that allows creators to mint their content as an NFT that users can then “like” with Carbon12 cryptocurrency, effectively restoring creators to a position of ownership over their data and allowing users to view content in an ad-free environment catered to their experience.

Abstract: Augmented reality methods and systems are described. According to one aspect, an augmented reality computer system includes processing circuitry configured to access an image of the real world, wherein the image includes a real world object, and evaluate the image using a neural network to determine a plurality of augmented reality estimands which are indicative of a pose of the real world object and which are useable to generate augmented content regarding the real world object. Other methods and systems are disclosed including additional aspects directed towards training and using neural networks.

Abstract: A sliding sleeve opens with a deployed ball. The sleeve has a seat disposed in the housing, and the seat has segments biased outward from one another with a C-ring or other biasing element. Initially, the seat has an expanded state in the sliding sleeve so that the seats segments expand outward against the housing's bore. When an appropriately sized ball is deployed downhole, the ball engages the expanded seat. Fluid pressure applied against the seated ball moves the seat into the inner sleeve's bore. As this occurs, the seat contracts, which increases the engagement area of the seat with the ball. Eventually, the seat reaches the shoulder in the inner sleeve so that pressure applied against the seated ball now moves the inner sleeve in the housing to open the sliding sleeve's flow port.

Abstract: Augmented reality methods and apparatus are described according to some aspects of the disclosure. In one aspect, a method of experiencing augmented data includes using a source system, emitting a dynamic symbol which changes over time, using a consumption system, receiving the emission of the source system, using the consumption system, analyzing the emission which was received by the consumption system to determine whether the dynamic symbol is present in the emission, and using the consumption system, generating a representation of augmented data to be consumed by a user of the consumption system as a result of the analyzing determining that the dynamically changing symbol is present in the emission of the source system.

Abstract: Architectures and techniques for augmenting content on an electronic device are described herein. In particular implementations, a user may use a portable device (e.g., a smart phone, tablet computer, etc.) to capture images of an environment, such as a room, outdoors, and so on. As the images of the environment are captured, the portable device may send information to a remote device (e.g., server) to determine whether augmented reality content is associated with a textured target in the environment (e.g., a surface or portion of a surface). When such a textured target is identified, the augmented reality content may be sent to the portable device. The augmented reality content may be displayed in an overlaid manner on the portable device as real-time images are displayed.
