Publication number: 20240104593Abstract: A mobile device scans a machine-readable code on a collection container; a Web page is downloaded to the device from a Web application which generates or retrieves a unique identifier for the device. The device then scans a can and the can's unique identifier is transmitted to the Web application to determine if the can had been scanned. If not, the device is alerted and a credit for the device's unique identifier is updated in a database. Or, the device scans a card to obtain a user unique identifier and then scans the can. The device scans a machine-readable code of the collection container to obtain a unique identifier for that collection container. Or, a user scans the card using an embedded scanning device of a collection container before scanning a can. The embedded device includes the unique identifier of the collection container which is sent to the Web application.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Paul CARPENTIER, Jan VAN RIEL, Michiel DE BACKKER, Alexander CARPENTIER

Patent number: 11546423Abstract: A unique bag identifier is generated for digital objects to be stored in object storage. A unique download identifier is generated for downloading of these objects and a unique upload identifier is generated for uploading of the objects; all three identifiers are associated in a database. The identifiers are distributed verbally, by electronic mail, by text message, etc. Any holder of these identifiers may access the digital objects without a user account and without installing an application on a computing device other than using a browser. A QR code or alphanumeric code is displayed on a computing device in order to allow another device to access the objects. Objects may be uploaded via electronic mail. Uploading or downloading is protected by an owner-generated password. Digital objects are sealed by calculating their hashes, placing these hashes in a file and calculating a hash for that file. This file hash is submitted to a block chain and a transaction identifier is returned.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2020Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: TWINTAG NVInventors: Paul Carpentier, Jan Van Riel, Michiel De Backker

Publication number: 20210235065Abstract: A method for decoding a compressed image stream, the image stream having a plurality of frames, each frame consisting of a merged image including pixels from a left image and pixels from a right image. The method involves the steps of receiving each merged image; changing a clock domain from the original input signal to an internal domain; for each merged image, placing at least two adjacent pixels into an input buffer and interpolating an intermediate pixel, for forming a reconstructed left frame and a reconstructed right frame according to provenance of the adjacent pixels; and reconstructing a stereoscopic image stream from the left and right image frames. The invention also teaches a system for decoding a compressed image stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2021Publication date: July 29, 2021Applicant: 3DN, LLCInventors: Nicholas Routhier, Claude Thibeault, Jean Belzile, Daniel Malouin, Pierre-Paul Carpentier, Martin Dallaire

Patent number: 10838920Abstract: A server executes in a virtual machine and facilitates execution of lightweight plug-in functions that respond to user interface commands from a client device. The functions augment the commands with additional processing even though they may not implement a user interface, they generate data in real time, they access any data repository or data source, can be written in any programming language, and they perceive that they have infinite storage. The client device need not have custom software and implements a traditional file-folder user interface using standard applications. Folders and file contents displayed on the client device need not exist until specifically requested by the user. Plug-in functions have their own root file system but may share a network namespace. Data may be input to a function using a folder name or a micro Web server. Two functions share a database connection to a remote computer.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2017Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: ESOPTRA NVInventors: Paul Carpentier, Jan Van Riel

Patent number: 8074289Abstract: Access to content addressable data on a network is facilitated using digital information storing devices or data repositories (“silos”) that monitor broadcast data requests over the network. A number of silos automatically monitor both data requests and data itself that are broadcast over a network. The silos selectively store data. Each silo responds to data requests broadcast over the network with data the silo has previously intercepted. A content addressable file scheme is used to enable the data repositories to reliably identify data being requested. When a data request is received, each silo evaluates whether it has all or a portion of the data being requested and responds to requests when it has the data. Requests for data are implemented by broadcasting a cryptographic hash data identifier of the data file needed. The data identifier is used by a silo to determine which data to receive and store.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2008Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Paul Carpentier, Jan F.

Patent number: 7770228Abstract: Representing a number of assets on an originating computer begins with selecting the assets to be represented. Cryptographic hash asset identifiers are generated; each of the asset identifiers is computed using the contents of a particular asset. The asset identifier is a content-based or content-addressable asset name for the asset and is location independent. An asset list is generated that includes the asset identifiers computed from the assets. A cryptographic hash asset list identifier is generated that is computed from the asset list. The asset list identifier is stored for later retrieval. The amen selected are also stored for safekeeping either locally or on a computer network. In the event of loss of the files from the originating computer, the asset list identifier is retrieved. Using the asset list identifier, the original asset list is found and retrieved from its safe location.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2005Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Paul Carpentier, Jan F.
