Patent number: 11961142Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method for pooling and transferring digital assets may include detecting a transaction event for a blockchain ledger. The blockchain ledger may include transaction records for a pool of digital assets and accounts collectively owning the digital assets. Each account may own a proportional portion of the digital assets corresponding to an account asset balance. The method may also include calculating an exchange rate based on a cash balance of the pool, a liabilities balance of the pool, and an ownership distribution value. The ownership distribution value may be based on a distribution of the account asset balances. The method may also include updating the cash balance based on the exchange rate and the transaction event, and adding a transaction record for the transaction event to the plurality of transaction records. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: COMPOUND LABS, INC.Inventors: Robert Leshner, Geoffrey Hayes, Jared Flatow, Torrey Atcitty, Coburn Berry

Patent number: 11949845Abstract: During operation of a machine, an understanding of terrain features is critical. Accordingly, disclosed embodiments augment a video stream, captured by a camera mounted on the machine, with terrain information. In particular, an overlay is generated on at least one image frame. The overlay, which may comprise one or more semi-transparent bands, may cyclically recede from a foreground to a background of the image frame(s), cyclically advance from a background to a foreground of the image frame(s), or cyclically move horizontally across the image frame(s). The overlay may be colorized to illustrate the height of the terrain underneath the overlay.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Craig Allan Lehocky, Michael William Bridenbaugh, Brad Robert Van de Veer, Jeffrey K.

Publication number: 20230418581Abstract: Using a common reference address when processing calls between a native application binary interface (ABI) and a foreign ABI. Based on a caller calling using a reference address, a lookup structure is used to determine whether the reference address is within a memory range storing native code and that the callee is native, or a memory range not storing native code and that the callee is foreign. Execution of a callee is initiated based on one of (i) calling the callee using the reference address within an emulator when the caller is native and the callee is foreign; (ii) calling an entry thunk when the caller is foreign and the callee is native; (iii) calling an exit thunk when the caller is native and the callee is foreign; or (iv) directly calling the callee using the reference address when the caller is native and the callee is native.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Pedro Miguel SEQUEIRA DE JUSTO TEIXEIRA, Darek Josip MIHOCKA, Jon Robert BERRY, Russell Charles HADLEY, James David CLEARY, Clarence Siu Yeen DANG

Patent number: 11720335Abstract: A hybrid binary executable under both native processes and compatibility (e.g., emulated) processes. When the hybrid binary is loaded by a native process, the process executes a native code stream contained in the binary directly on a processor. When the hybrid binary is loaded by a compatibility process, the process executes an emulation-compatible (EC) code stream directly on a processor. The hybrid binary format supports folding of code between the native code stream and the EC code stream. The hybrid binary comprises a set of memory transformations which are applied to image data obtained from the binary when the hybrid binary executes under the compatibility process.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Pedro Miguel Sequeira De Justo Teixeira, Darek Josip Mihocka, Jon Robert Berry, Russell Charles Hadley, James David Cleary, Clarence Siu Yeen Dang

Publication number: 20220137942Abstract: A function is compiled against a first application binary interface (ABI) and a second ABI of a native first instruction set architecture (ISA). The second ABI defines context data not exceeding a size expected by a third ABI of a foreign second ISA, and uses a subset of registers of the first ISA that are mapped to registers of the second ISA. Use of the subset of registers by the second ABI results in some functions being foldable when compiled using both the first and second ABIs. First and second compiled versions of the function are identified as foldable, or not, based on whether the compiled versions match. Both the first and second compiled versions are emitted into a binary file when they are not foldable, and only one of the first or second compiled versions is emitted into the binary file when they are foldable.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2021Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Pedro Miguel SEQUEIRA DE JUSTO TEIXEIRA, Darek Josip MIHOCKA, Jon Robert BERRY, Russell Charles HADLEY, James David CLEARY, Clarence Siu Yeen DANG
