  • Patent number: 12333964
    Abstract: A flag system removably attaches to a rearview mirror of a vehicle. The system uses a pair of clips that each hook, via a hook portion, to a rearward facing edge of the mirror housing, one clip hooked to the upper edge of the housing, the other clip hooked to the lower edge of the housing. A flag extends upwardly from the upper clip. A strap connects the two clips and passes along the forward-facing outer surface of the mirror housing. The strap is pulled taut and secured in the taut position, thereby securing the flag system to the mirror housing. The flag may be secured to a post which is attached to the upper clip. Strap sizing can be achieved using a pair of cooperating hook and loop sections, one section at an end of the strap, the other section located medially along the strap.

  • Publication number: 20250045747
    Abstract: A nameserver receives a request to access a webpage from a client device. The nameserver generates a blockchain query based on the request for querying a domain registrar blockchain storing domain name registration data in smart contracts. The nameserver sends the first blockchain query to the domain registrar blockchain. In response to receiving a nameserver identifier from the domain registrar blockchain, the nameserver retrieves a DNS record for the webpage using the received nameserver identifier. The nameserver then provides information from the retrieved DNS record to the client device to allow the client device to access the webpage.
