  • Patent number: 12418535
    Abstract: A method includes detecting, by an electronic device managing a plurality of integrated circuit (IC) chips, an attempt to modify a whitelist that includes multiple entries of URLs and user IDs and determining whether the attempt is associated with modifying an existing entry, removing the existing entry, or adding a new entry of a URL or a user ID to the whitelist. When the attempt is associated with removing an existing entry corresponding to a particular URL or user ID, the method includes further determining whether the particular URL or user ID is being actively used by IC chip(s). When the attempt to modify or remove the existing entry or add a new entry of a URL or user ID to the whitelist is approved, a notification is transmitted to an electronic communication channel associated with a root administrator and pool managing administrators that manage one or more pool servers.

  • Patent number: 12101407
    Abstract: An asset management method is provided. The asset management method includes establishing a network connection between a cryptomining asset and an asset management server. The asset management method includes generating a digital token, wherein the digital token includes an identifier assigned to the cryptomining asset by a cryptomining asset provider. The asset management method includes transmitting, to the asset management server and via the network connection, the digital token. The asset management method includes receiving, from the asset management server, a message corresponding to the identifier, wherein the message includes a configuration of a cryptomining task. The asset management method includes loading the configuration in the cryptomining asset. Another asset management method and a cryptomining asset are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20220323318
    Abstract: A human oral care composition, includes safe and effective amounts of the fluoride ion and stabilized chlorine dioxide, that may take the form of a paste, gel, rinse, spray, powder, varnish or similar that reduces demineralization and promotes remineralization of teeth. The method includes the topical application of the composition to the human oral cavity (including but not limited to the teeth, gingiva, and tongue), preferably at least once daily, to enhance the anti-caries effect of fluoride by released chlorine dioxide compromising any biofilm present.

  • Patent number: 7210411
    Abstract: A round of ammunition for firing from a gun having a rifled barrel, especially a small arms weapon. The projectile (1) forming a part of the round is of steel or other material having a Vickers Hardness value not less than 550, and has a coating (13) of copper or copper alloy. The projectile has a forward body portion (9) which has a diameter similar to that of the lands of the rifling, and a rearward body portion (3) having a diameter which is similar to the diameter defined by the roots of the rifling grooves. The coating (13) is of a thickness not less than the depth of the said rifling grooves, so that the rifling engraves the coating but does not significantly engrave the underlying steel or other hard material. The advantages associated with a hard projectile material are thus obtained without substantially increasing barrel wear.
