  • Publication number: 20180260888
    Abstract: Authentication of mortgage documents is based on one or more digital signatures incorporated into a blockchain. Structured data, metadata, and instructions may be hashed to generate the multiple digital signatures for distribution via the blockchain. Any peer receiving the blockchain may then verify an authenticity of the mortgage documents based on the digital signature(s) incorporated into the blockchain.

  • Publication number: 20180241565
    Abstract: Confidential, secret data may be shared via one or more blockchains. Mortgage applications, medical records, financial records, and other electronic documents often contain social security numbers, names, addresses, account information, and other personal data. A secret sharing algorithm is applied to any secret data to generate shares. The shares may then be integrated or written to one or more blockchains for distribution.

  • Publication number: 20180219683
    Abstract: Possessory claims may be verified. When any entity claims to possess an electronic document, a verification scheme may require verification numbers associated with the electronic document. If the correct verification numbers are provided, then a claimant may actually possess the electronic document. However, if the correct verification numbers cannot be provided, then the verification scheme may deny that the claimant has the electronic document.

  • Patent number: 9477927
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for testing decision table-based rules. In an embodiment, a memory device may store instructions that cause a processor to perform a method comprising receiving one or more constraints for a set of data attributes, generating a structured data set of the data attributes having values based on the one or more constraints, and providing the structured data set to a decision table-based rule set.

  • Patent number: 9359694
    Abstract: A method for separating out nano-scale fiber threads from many fiber branches and controlling alignment and deposition of the fiber threads on a substrate, comprising: electrospinning at least synthetic polymer fiber streams from an electrically charged syringe needle; controlling the fiber using at least one electrically charged metallic disk rotating about an axis positioned below the needle; capturing the fiber using electrically grounded collector; extracting a single or plurality of fiber branch threads from the fiber streams, wherein the single or plurality of fiber branch threads is attracted to and intercepted by the collector shape, and depositing the single or plurality of fiber branch threads as substantially aligned fiber on the collector.

  • Publication number: 20160047064
    Abstract: A method for separating out a continuous single thread of fiber from many fiber branches and controlling alignment and deposition of said fiber on a substrate, comprising: electrospinning synthetic polymer fiber streams from an electrically charged syringe needle; controlling the fiber using at least one electrically charged metallic disk rotating about an axis positioned below the needle; capturing the fiber using electrically grounded collector; extracting a single fiber branch thread from the polymer fiber streams, wherein the single fiber branch thread is attracted to and intercepted by the collector shape, and depositing the single fiber branch thread as substantially aligned fiber on the collector.

  • Patent number: 5542031
    Abstract: A computer imager for processing computerized data receives signals in PostScript format. An interpreter generates compressed data signals for presentation to a rasterizer. The rasterizer and interpreter utilize parallel processing and differentiate between character, graphic and contone image page elements, each of which is processed in a different manner to maximize speed and minimize memory and other imager component utilization. Decompressed and rasterized data is presented to a graphics accelerator that includes separate circuitry for processing character and graphics/image data. There is also circuitry to resolve page location conflicts. A halftone unit is included and receives the resolved, rasterized data for presentation to a video interface and ultimately a printer or other output imaging device.

  • Patent number: 4413624
    Abstract: A birth control means designed to limit sperm production by effecting a slight temperature increase in the testes comprises a scrotum insulator cut from a flat sheet of a flexible insulating material to the shape of a trapezoid. Preferably the insulating material is a moisture impervious plastic film vacuum metallized to have an infrared reflective surface. The scrotum insulator is used by being held in place around the scrotum preferably as by insertion in unmodified jockey-type shorts.
