Abstract: Technologies for systems, methods and computer-readable storage media for providing a smart curriculum vitae in a blockchain wallet. The method includes providing a blockchain-based wallet to a user device, the blockchain-based wallet being associated with a user and being associated with a blockchain network, creating, for the user, a smart curriculum-vitae stored within the blockchain-based wallet, receiving, from a third party, information associated a qualification associated with the user and creating a record on the blockchain network that confirms the qualification associated with the user.

Abstract: A method of synchronising audio content arranged to be played by a second device with video content played by a first device, wherein the second device includes a camera, comprises: capturing at least a portion of the video content with the camera; performing image recognition on the captured video content to identify a set time point in the audio content; and commencing playing the audio content from a selected time point in the audio content corresponding to the set time point, such that the audio content is synchronous with the video content. A method of pre-preparing video content for use in such a synchronisation method is also described.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for presenting media streams based on changes in geolocation. A MapView system may receive a first positioning signal indicating a first geographical location of a user device. The MapView system may determine a first media stream to be presented by the user device based on the first geographical location and a location of a source of the first media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the first media stream by the user device. When the MapView system receives a second positioning signal indicating a second geographical location of the user device, the MapView may identify, a second media stream to be presented by the user device based on the second geographical location being in broadcast range of the second media stream. The MapView system may then facilitate a presentation of the second media stream by the user device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media are configured to receive a signal. One or more data streams associated with one or more metrics associated with the signal can be determined. The one or more data streams can be sampled to generate data samples. A grade associated with the signal can be generated based on the data samples. The grade can indicate quality of the signal.

Abstract: A box by pin perforating gun system using swaged down gun bodies, a removable cartridge to hold a detonator and switch, and an insulated charge holder as an electrical feed-through.

Abstract: A flexible pipe for subsea transportation of production fluids, a method of manufacturing flexible pipe body and a method of providing corrosion protection to armour wires of at least one tensile armour layer of a flexible pipe having a breached pipe annulus are disclosed. The flexible pipe comprises a fluid retaining layer, an outer sheath and at least one tensile armour layer comprising a plurality of helically wound monofilament armour wires of a first material, each having a non-circular cross section with an aspect ratio of greater than 1:2 disposed between the fluid retaining layer and the outer sheath. The tensile armour layer further comprises at least one helically wound elongate anode element substantially having a cross-section aspect ratio of 1:1 and comprising a further material, interposed between armour wires, the anode element cross section having an area that is 50% or less of a corresponding area of said non-circular cross section.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for locking a detonating cord against a shaped charge.

Abstract: An embodiment of a method of providing identity assurance for a decentralized application (DApp) includes executing, by at least one distributed node of a blockchain system, an entitlement contract stored on the blockchain to perform a read call from a DApp contract stored on the blockchain, the read call including an address signing a transaction to the DApp contract. Performing the read call may include reading a list of registered addresses stored on the blockchain, determining whether the list includes the signing address; and providing an output indicating whether the list includes the signing address. The method may further include executing, by the at least one distributed node, a registry contract stored on the blockchain to perform a read call from the DApp contract, the read call including an identifier of the decentralized application.

Abstract: Computer-readable media, systems and methods may improve security, authorization, and auditability of documents. For example, computer systems for serving documents may be improved to provide secure access and control through challenges that are validated with self-executing on-chain document license contracts that enforce entitlements that specify users and their authorized document actions. Such entitlements may be generated by the user who created the document. As such, a user may retain over authorizations and document actions that are permissible with respect to the document even after the user has transferred a copy of the document. Furthermore, the computer systems may be improved to write an on-chain audit log of document actions, providing an immutable record of the document actions.

Abstract: A computing system may include a geometry access engine configured to access geometries associated with a topology optimization process, including an original geometry that represents a design space upon which the topology optimization process applies to as well as a topology optimized geometry that represents an output of the topology optimization process performed for the original geometry. The system may also include geometry processing engine configured to generate a final geometry from the topology optimized geometry, including by conforming the topology optimized geometry to the original geometry at portions of the topology optimized geometry that correspond to fixed regions of the original geometry as well as smoothing the topology optimized geometry at portions that correspond to non-fixed regions of the original geometry.

Abstract: An embodiment of a method of recording transactions conducted in a public distributed ledger system using a personal distributed ledger system includes: generating, by a wallet distributed application, an address in the public distributed ledger system and a private key; signing, by the wallet distributed application, a transaction to a distributed application in the public distributed ledger system using the generated address and private key; generating, by the wallet distributed application, a transaction to the personal distributed ledger system, the generated transaction containing information identifying the signed transaction to the public distributed ledger system, such as the private key used to sign the transaction; and transmitting, by the wallet distributed application, the transaction to at least one distributed node of the personal distributed ledger system.
