Patent number: 11847710Abstract: A mechanism is provided to implement a contract analytic binding and provenance system. The mechanism loads contract rules for an agreement between a plurality of contract parties and creates an analytic entry per rule to form a set of analytic entries, Each analytic entry is associated with an executable analytic function. The mechanism assigns each analytic entry a directed acyclic graph vertex. The mechanism confirms alignment between the contract rules and the set of analytic entries and stores the set of analytic entries in peer ledgers associated with the plurality of contract parties. The mechanism activates the set of analytic entries responsive to confirming provenance of the peer ledgers associated with the plurality of contract parties.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2020Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Corville O.

Publication number: 20220185430Abstract: Embodiments are directed toward an insert for an inflatable boat having a hull and an inflatable peripheral tube that define a boat cockpit. The insert has a rigid floor and a rigid peripheral sidewall that define an insert cockpit. The insert is configured to register with the boat cockpit while the floor of the insert covers most of the upper surface of the hull and while the peripheral sidewall of the insert covers most of the inner surface of the peripheral tube. Accordingly, the insert facilitates increasing rigidity of the inflatable boat while reducing snaggable features in the inflatable boat.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2022Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: Michael Richard Batcheller, JR., Martin Scott Sheppard

Patent number: 9280771Abstract: A method, programmed medium and system are provided for implementing a prebuilt and encrypted personal identification information (PII) profile which resides only on a user's computer and is prevented from being permanently stored in a server's database. When a user visits a web site and creates a new account, the site submits a request to query the user's profile using an extension to the HTTP protocol. The user is prompted by the user's browser to grant the site permission to do so and the site automatically uploads a non-personal identifying number (ID) to the user's system to create an account. User-selected fields of the PII are transmitted to the server for processing a user-requested transaction. All personal information remains on the user's computer within the user's encrypted PII profile and is deleted at the server after the completion of the requested transaction.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2009Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Franck Barillaud, Richard P. Christianson, Jing Huang, Richard Martin Scott, Joe Wesley Sutton, Jr.

Patent number: 8910929Abstract: A printer architecture that enables a printer (or other media processing device) with an elongate foot print to be configured with media input and operator controls oriented at either a narrow end or a wide side thereof, that surface becoming the “front” of the unit. Controls and/or display(s) are mounted such that either the end or side orientation can be accommodated. The media input tray includes a separate assembly so that selection of the tray with access to end or side complements the user control panel in establishing the front of the machine. The combination of control/display mounting and oriented media tray structure integration with the print engine to establish which of the printer surfaces is considered the front allows for multiple orientations of the printer and greater flexibility to the customer.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Martin Scott Walsh, Timothy Crawford, Mark H. Tennant, Aaron L. Boyce, Edward F. Burress, Isaac S. Frazier, John E. Fanning, Brent R. Jones, Todd D. Smith, Trevor J. Snyder, Carl T. Urban, Paul Van Gasse, Paul Woodward

Patent number: 8857198Abstract: A system and method for controlling an icemaker assembly to prevent premature ice harvests is provided. In particular implementations, normal icemaker operations, including ice cube harvesting, can be suspended when an ice cube level in an ice cube storage bin is detected to exceed a predetermined threshold or when a command is received to prevent harvesting. When a command to prevent harvesting is received, communication from an ice cube storage bin sensor can be disconnected, for instance, after a current harvesting cycle is complete. The communication from the ice cube storage bin sensor can be reconnected following a time interval or after receiving a command to re-start the normal operations.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Christopher Styn, Martin Scott Mershon, Lorina June White, Khalid Jamal Mashal, John Alexander Gardner, Joseph Michael Hauser
