  • Publication number: 20240020703
    Abstract: A system avoids irreversible transactions on a digital ledger system. The system receives a request to add a block at a first address, searches for a second address that is similar to the first address, and transmits a message to a user indicating that there may be an error when the second address closely matches the first address. The system also determines that the first address is registered and has been used, and when the first address is registered but has not been used, the system denies the request from the user to add the block to the ledger system or requests a confirmation from the user that the user wants to add the block to the ledger at the first address. The system also refrains from adding the block to the ledger for a predetermined threshold time period, and after an expiration of the predetermined threshold time period, adds the block to the ledger.

  • Publication number: 20240020671
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, methods, and non-transitory media for providing prescient and adaptive point-of-sale services via electronic networks are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include a system with one or more servers. The one or more servers may be configured to generate digital consumer tokens and provide the digital consumer tokens to consumer devices for sharing with merchant devices. When a merchant device receives the digital consumer token, the merchant device may forward the digital consumer token to the one or more servers in exchange for consumer data to facilitate consumer service. In some embodiments, the one or more servers may be configured to provide point-of-sale interfaces that adapt to different consumer preferences or consumer device signals. Some embodiments may provide for consumer interfaces that allow consumers to manage their electronic identity at various (e.g., merchant) locations.

  • Patent number: 11874419
    Abstract: A method is claimed for automatically transforming sonic well logs from a depth domain to a seismic two-way travel-time domain. The method includes obtaining a training well with a measured sonic well log in the depth domain and a borehole seismic dataset in the depth domain and obtaining an application well with only a measured sonic well log in the depth domain. The method further includes training a network to predict a transformed sonic well log for the training well based, at least in part, on the measured sonic well log and the borehole seismic dataset in the training well, and predicting with the network, the transformed sonic well log in the application well.

  • Patent number: 11866670
    Abstract: Systems and methods associated with biomass decomposition are generally described. Certain embodiments are related to adjusting a flow rate of a fluid comprising oxygen into a reactor in which biomass is decomposed. The adjustment may be made, at least in part, based upon a measurement of a characteristic of the reactor and/or a characteristic of the biomass. Certain embodiments are related to cooling at least partially decomposed biomass. The biomass may be cooled by flowing a gas over an outlet conduit in which the biomass is cooled, and then directing the gas to a reactor after it has flowed over the outlet conduit. Certain embodiments are related to systems comprising a reactor and an outlet conduit configured such that greater than or equal to 75% of its axially projected cross-sectional area is occupied by a conveyor.

  • Patent number: 11868209
    Abstract: The system or device may build one or more data packets by dividing a given payload for a packet into data blocks and inserting data checks for each data block sequentially into the packet payload. The device may generate, for each of the data blocks, a corresponding data check block corresponding to data in each data block. The device may send or arrange the data blocks and the corresponding data check blocks such that each of the data blocks is followed by the corresponding error check block in the packet. Using the corresponding check block, each of the data blocks is independently verifiable, so that the data blocks may be used upon receipt, even if the payload is not completely received.
