  • Publication number: 20240091653
    Abstract: An anonymous leaderboard for a monitored computing environments is provided. In response to an entity registering with the monitored computing environment (MCE), an encrypted identity and a dynamic non-fungible token (NFT) are generated for the registered entity, where the dynamic NFT has an associated blockchain technology data structure. The blockchain technology data structure is associated with the encrypted identity. A progress element notification is received from the MCE in response to the entity satisfying criteria for a predefined progress element associated with the MCE. In response, a static NFT, corresponding to the predefined progress element, is generated and stored as a block in the blockchain technology data structure. An entry in an anonymous leaderboard output is generated based on the blockchain technology data structure, where the entry identifies the entity by the encrypted identity.

  • Publication number: 20230169202
    Abstract: A request to share cloud data associated with a first account in a database system with an application is received. Based on the request, second-party application data and third-party data that is accessible by the first account is identified. The second-party application data comprises application data corresponding to a second application provided by a second-party application provider. The third-party data corresponds to a second account maintained by the database system. The second account corresponds to a third-party data provider. The application is enabled to access the cloud data associated with the first account based on the request. The cloud data comprises customer data associated with the first account, second-party application data, and the third-party data.

  • Patent number: 10916004
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of processing depth data and image data from a robotic device having a camera and a depth measurement device mounted to a chassis of the robotic device to generate a data set representative of a three-dimensional map of an environment in which the robotic device is located. The camera is arranged to generate image data relating to the environment. The depth measurement device is arranged to generate depth data relating to the environment. The method comprises generating image data and depth data at a first location of the robotic device in the environment, whereby to generate a first data set comprising a plurality of data points. The method further comprises moving the robotic device to at least a second location in the environment. The method further comprises generating image data and depth data at the second location, whereby to generate a second data set comprising a plurality of data points.

  • Patent number: 10767153
    Abstract: A mechanical bioreactor for transferring vibrations to cell cultures for the purpose of stimulating various biological processes across a relatively large (relative to the amplitude of the vibrations) sample receiving surface. This bioreactor allows multiple samples to receive identical stimulation, which may enable the process to be significantly scaled up. The invention may be particularly applicable to nanoscale vibration amplitudes, where it is non-trivial to design a device that performs this function, because many materials exhibit natural deformation on a scale that would mask or inhibit transfer of nanoscale vibration energy.
