  • Publication number: 20240135370
    Abstract: Techniques relating to a decentralized application are disclosed. The techniques include enabling automatic interaction with a decentralized application relating to a blockchain, including associating a hot wallet with the decentralized application. The techniques further include performing an automatic interaction with the decentralized application using the hot wallet, including automatically signing a transaction for the blockchain using the hot wallet without associated interaction by a user of the decentralized application. The techniques further include disabling automatic interaction with the blockchain for the decentralized application including disassociating the hot wallet with the decentralized application.

  • Patent number: 11097496
    Abstract: Porosity causing gas-based defects are detected, located, identified, and/or characterized by the use of defect information generated from gas flow data corresponding to gas flow characteristics measured by one or more sensors on a composite part processing piece such as a mould or membrane used during a composite manufacturing process. The defect information is generated using techniques including one or more of profiling the gas flow data, fingerprinting, line leak detection, analytical triangulation.
