Abstract: A fluid source management system (100) comprising a structure (101) that supports one or more fluid sources (103), sensors (102) that determine the fluid state of the fluid sources (103), at least one common reservoir (108) for storing the fluid, tubing (104) connecting the fluid sources (103) to the common fluid reservoir (108) and a controller (105) that controls the opening and closing of the tubing (104) based upon the fluid state of the fluid sources (103).

Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing a living arrangement between a staker of cryptocurrency and an owner of a real property are described. Distributed ledger technology may be leveraged to facilitate arrangements between a staker (e.g., a cryptocurrency staker) and an owner (e.g., a real property owner). The staker may receive aspects (e.g., staying rights, etc.) of a real property by locking cryptocurrency to a smart contract, where a portion or all of the residuals from decentralized financial activities may be earmarked for the owner. In some cases, maturity of the arrangement may be residual dependent (e.g., where the arrangement terminates once the sum of the residues to the owner reaches a threshold). At the maturity of an arrangement, the staked amount may be unlocked and available for the staker, and the owner's interest in the title (or deed) is transferred and claimable to the staker.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for randomly selecting a winner from a group of participants which is verifiably random, removing the requirement of a trusted third party in competitions such as lotteries. Also provided are processing systems and architectures for implementing the method.

Abstract: An energy capturing apparatus for capturing energy from gravity and buoyancy acting on a plurality of spheres circulating through the system. In a first phase gravity acts to accelerate the spheres on a conveyor belt imparting rotational force to the belt which may be harnessed to perform work. Concurrently, buoyancy of a fluid filled conduit provides a manner to return the spheres to the top of the conveyor to continue to rotate it and provide the energy to the conveyor belt to perform work. Axles at both ends of the conveyor belt may be engaged mechanically to communicate the force of the spheres being attracted by gravity to turn the belt.
