Abstract: A weight support device includes a sensor grid that measures pressure data while a user is on the weight support device. The weight support device is connected to a computer that analyzes the pressure data and generates a virtual figure to represent the user. Based on the pressure data, the computer determines how the user moves and adjusts relative positions of segments in the virtual figure that represent various body parts corresponding to the movements of the user. The relative positions of the segments may be determined based on a kinematic model. The virtual figure is presented on a display (e.g., in a video) to illustrate how the user moved.

Abstract: In some examples, a system is to receive, from a client device, a query comprising a representation of blockchain information of an entity associated with an electronic device that advertised the representation. The system is to further determine whether a client entity associated with the client device has a privilege to access response information that is responsive to the query, and in response to determining that the client entity has the privilege to access the response information, send, to a blockchain network, a request containing the blockchain information to obtain the response information.

Abstract: In some examples, in response to a request from a client device for information relating to a transaction stored by a blockchain, a system identifies, using information stored in a distributed storage system that stores data for the blockchain, multiple data owner entities from which permissions are to be obtained for access of the information, and determines an authorization requirement for the information based on a smart contract. The system sends authorization information based on the authorization requirement to trigger a retrieval of authorization tokens from the identified data owner entities for access of the information, and sends the information to the client device in response to receiving the authorization tokens.

Abstract: Systems and methods described herein are directed to using a smart contract deployed on a distributed ledger network to prove compliance for handling of an asset over time and space. In some implementations, a system includes: one or more servers operating as nodes on a distributed ledger network; and a storage to store an instance of a smart contract. The one or more servers may be to: deploy the smart contract to the distributed ledger network; verify time series data captured by a device, where the verified time series data includes for each time a secured representation of a distributed ledger address; and send at least some of the verified time series data as an input to the smart contract. The smart contract, in response to receiving the at least some of the verified time series data, may execute to determine if one or more conditions have been satisfied.

Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing Blockchain-based verifiable claims for use with assets in a physical world, such as Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices, are described. Verifiable claims are integrated with Root of Trust (RoT) technology, in a manner that allows verifiable claims to be linked with physical assets and a “proof” of provisioning of decentralized identity to be established. A system integrates Blockchain and IoT technologies, including Blockchain IoT device with hardware RoT implemented thereon. A validation process leverages RoT of the device to establish a decentralized “proof” of RoT on the Blockchain, which can then be used as a verifiable claim for the device. The validation process can also use the “proof” of RoT to further validate data obtained from the Blockchain IoT device, and to validate business logic allowing context based control of any subsequent transactions. Further, the validation process achieves automation with respect to trustability.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for ingesting and enriching data regarding a plurality of entities are provided. A first data set comprising company data and a second data set comprising customer data are ingested. The first data set is processed to generate a processed data set. The first data set may be processed by applying an entity matching technique, wherein one or more data elements are generated based on whether an entity of the first data set and an entity of the second data set are commonly associated. The first data set may additionally or alternatively be processed by applying a statistical matching technique, wherein one or more predicted data elements are generated based on similarity between an entity of the first data set and one or more entities of the second data set.
