  • Patent number: 12294659
    Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for tracking resources using non-fungible tokens. The present invention is configured to receive a request for a non-fungible token (NFT) for a resource, wherein the resource is a physical object; initiate a non-fungible token (NFT) generator on the resource; generate a unique digital signature for the resource by generating a scanned image of the resource and identifying one or more features of the resource from the image; generate an NFT comprising a unique digital signature for the resource; determine a physical condition of the resource; store the physical condition of the resource in a first metadata layer associated with the NFT; and record the NFT for the resource on a distributed ledger.

  • Publication number: 20250136066
    Abstract: A fluid exchanger may exchange a fluid (e.g., coolant) in a reservoir (e.g., vehicle radiator) by removing or withdrawing a first fluid (e.g., old, spent, used, etc.) and by introducing a second fluid (e.g., new, clean, etc.). In some examples, the exchanger includes a valve construction that permits easy and safe transitioning from a first mode in which the fluid in the vehicle is run in a loop (e.g., after a cleaner is introduced) to a second mode in which the fluid is exchanged. In some examples, the exchanger includes a restrictor that stops fluid from flowing when the pressure fails to satisfy a threshold (e.g., where the pressure is below a threshold). In some examples, the exchanger includes a safety valve (e.g., ball valve) in the bottom of the new fluid tank, such that when the tank is empty, the valve will close and reduce the likelihood of unintentionally pushing air into the system (e.g., emptying the reservoir).

  • Patent number: 12289304
    Abstract: A system for communicating email messages using tokens receives a request to send an email message to a receiver. The email message is associated with a sender's email address. The system determines whether the sender's email address is associated with a token from a plurality of tokens stored in a token-email address mapping table. The system generates a particular token for the sender's email address in response to determining that the sender's email address is not associated with a token, where the particular token uniquely identifies the sender's email address. The system sends the email message using the particular token instead of the sender's email address, such that the sender's email address remains anonymous from the perspective of the receiver.

  • Patent number: 12277551
    Abstract: A device is configured to receive an interaction request from the first user that identifies an address for a contract that is stored in a blockchain and to access machine-executable instructions associated with the contract. The device is further configured to determine a projected number of virtual resources and real-world resources for the first user based on a number of available resources for the first user and the machine-executable instructions for transferring resources between the first user and the second user in the contract. The device is further configured to output the projected number of virtual resources to the first user and to output the projected number of real-world resources to the first user. The device is further configured to initiate a transfer of resources between the first user and the second user.

  • Publication number: 20250114394
    Abstract: The composition inhibits severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) via competitive binding to SARS-COV-2 spike protein. The composition includes a plurality of sulfated glycosaminoglycans which bind to SARS-COV-2 spike protein, preventing binding to and uptake by host cells. The sulfated glycosaminoglycans, including N-, 2-O, 3-O, or 6-O sulfate groups, or combinations thereof, include heparins and fucoidans, such as those isolated from brown seaweed. The compositions show antiviral activity, with EC50 as low as 0.08 ?M, and low cytotoxicity, making it promising for clinical use. While established SARS-COV-2 treatments such as remdesivir need to be administered intravenously, the compositions discussed herein are advantageously capable to being delivered as a nasal spray, metered dose inhaler, oral delivery, etc.

  • Publication number: 20250100392
    Abstract: A system and a method for connecting a vehicle to an external source includes determining that a vehicle to be propelled by a drive system having one or more motors is to connect to an off-board power source while the one or more motors are powered by an onboard power source. The onboard power source is controlled to provide a determined amount of first electric energy to a first converter system. A second converter system is controlled to output an amount of second electric energy from the off-board power source within a designated threshold range. The second converter system is disposed between the off-board power source and the first converter system. The drive system receives power from the off-board power source responsive to the second converter system outputting the second amount of electric energy within the designated threshold range.

  • Publication number: 20240401003
    Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods for identifying, selecting, or culturing cells comprising a subject nucleic acid sequence of interest. Generally, a nucleic acid comprising a subject nucleic acid and a sequence encoding an enzyme molecule involved in biosynthesis of an amino acid is introduced into a cell. The cell is then grown on media lacking the amino acid, such that cells comprising the introduced nucleic acid are capable of growth. In some instances, the cell further comprises an inhibitor of the enzyme molecule to increase the stringency of the selection.
