  • Patent number: 12107856
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that securely track, manage, and provision elements of interaction data within a computing environment in accordance with encrypted permissioning data recorded onto a permissioned distributed ledger. For example, an apparatus may obtain query data that includes an identifier of a computing system and a query term, and access one or more ledger blocks of a permissioned distributed ledger that include encrypted permissioning data and interaction data. The apparatus may decrypt the encrypted permissioning data using a master cryptographic key of a centralized authority.

  • Patent number: 11316951
    Abstract: A system, method and program product for synchronizing client-based data with data in a shared resource. A system is provided that receives data from a plurality of client devices, the data being indicative of at least one action associated with a shared resource accessible by the plurality of client devices, and inserts a plurality of actions indicated by the data as nodes into a polytree queue, wherein actions that do not depend on other actions in the polytree queue are inserted as root level nodes, and actions that depend on other actions in the polytree queue are inserted as child nodes. The system further executes the nodes in the polytree queue to synchronize the data from the plurality of client devices with the shared resource, wherein root level nodes are scheduled for immediate concurrent execution, and execution of child nodes is delayed until parent nodes of an associated child node are executed.

  • Patent number: 10625266
    Abstract: An embodiment of a reagent container includes a bottle with a pipe to reduce the effects of reagent sloshing. The bottle has an elongated base and an opposed cover connected by side walls and an end wall. A flat platform surrounded by a raised rim lies in the base opposite an opening in the cover. A ribbed pipe frictionally fits within the bottle opening and may attach to the anchor region leaving vent passages around the pipe. The pipe includes an aperture adjacent to the anchor region and oriented toward the end wall so that sloshed fluid has only a small effect on the level of reagent in the pipe during transfers. A modified blow molding process produces the anchor region by extending a pin a predetermined distance into a mold while the molded material is still plastic.

  • Publication number: 20140304110
    Abstract: A system for managing a procurement process uses an ambient light sensor to detect an operating anomaly regarding at least one light source. A procurement system operatively coupled to the light sensing system receives information indicative of the detected operating anomaly of the at least one light source and, in response thereto, initiates the procurement process to obtain a replacement for the at least one light source.

  • Publication number: 20030009437
    Abstract: A computer program and method are disclosed for matching a potential positionee and potential positionor. The potential positionee is provided with a positionee information entry interface for entering positionee information comprising the potential positionee's actual qualifications. The positionee information is stored in a database. Matching is accomplished by providing the potential positionor with a positionor information entry interface for electronically entering positionor information comprising at least one target qualification for a position, the positionor information being stored in the database. Matching is based on determining whether the positionee information correlates with the positionor information. A correlated information list is created. The correlated information is presented for review. Code sections of the computer program preferably accomplish these and other tasks.
