Publication number: 20240135364Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for transferring data in a blockchain network. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to computer-implemented methods for creating and encrypting electronic wallets in blockchain networks and systems and methods configured to carry out data transactions in the blockchain network. For example, the present disclosure describes a method for creating and encrypting an electronic wallet of a blockchain network, comprising a step of obtaining the electronic wallet by a computing device from a user. The electronic wallet may include a private password data, a public password data, and a wallet identification data. The method has steps wherein the private password data, the public password data and/or the wallet identification data are encrypted with random salt data. The encrypted data is transmitted via an API to computing modules having functions of data storage, processing of requests, and blockchain network access.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 6, 2022Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Charly AGUDELO, Daniel Ricardo GÁLVAN, Oscar Andrés LEÓN, Yesika PADILLA YAÑEZ, Alejandro CLAVIJO SÁNCHEZ

Patent number: 11955715Abstract: A satellite system can include one or more satellites that orbit the Earth. The one or more satellites may have satellite buses that support antenna arrays. The antenna arrays may include space fed arrays. Each space fed array may have an antenna feed array and an inner array that is coupled to a direct radiating array. The direct radiating array may operate in the same satellite band as the space fed array, or upconversion and downconversion circuitry may be used to communicatively couple a direct radiating array that operates in a different satellite band to the space fed array. The satellites may have peripheral walls with corner fittings that can be selected to provide the satellite bus with particular leg strengths. This can reduce overall mass of the satellites in a payload fairing while accommodating different types of antenna arrays.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Inventors: Chris Cosner, Ying Feria, Raenaurd Turpin, Andre Houle, Richard Aston, Brett Cope, Ricardo Leon

Patent number: 7704627Abstract: Electrolysis cell comprises, in one embodiment, a proton exchange membrane (PEM), an anode positioned along one face of the PEM, and a cathode positioned along the other face of the PEM. An electrically-conductive, compressible, spring-like, porous pad for defining a fluid cavity is placed in contact with the outer face of the cathode. The porous pad comprises a mat of carbon fibers bound together with one or more, preferably thermoplastic, resins, the mat having a density of about 0.2-1.5 g/cm3. Cell frames are placed in peripheral contact with the metal screen and the compression pad for peripherally containing fluids present therewithin. Electrically-conductive separators are placed in contact with the metal screen and the compression pad for axially containing fluids present therewithin. A plurality of the cells may be arranged in series in a bipolar configuration without requiring a separate compression pad between cells (for gas pressure differentials up to about 400 psi or greater).Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2008Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Giner Electrochemical Systems, LLCInventors: Anthony B.
