Publication number: 20250014012Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a resource transfer system. An instruction to transfer a first quantity of a resource from a first resource pool to a second resource pool may be received. A hold may be placed on a second quantity of the resource in the first resource pool. The held second quantity of the first resource may not be transferred from the first resource pool until the hold is released. Responsive to receiving a message that fulfills a condition on the hold and an instruction to execute the transfer, the hold may be released. A register that is in the first resource pool and is associated with the resource may decremented by the first quantity, and a register that is in the second resource pool and is associated with the resource may be incremented by the first quantity.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2024Publication date: January 9, 2025Inventors: Stefan Thomas, Evan Schwartz, Robert Way

Publication number: 20240259364Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a resource transfer setup and verification. A request for transfer conditions for a transfer of resources may be received from a first computing device. A set of transfer conditions may be generated in response to the request for transfer conditions and sent to the first computing device. The set of transfer conditions and an indication of an acceptance of the set of transfer conditions by a second computing device may be received from the first computing device. A transfer identifier for the set of transfer conditions may be generated from data from the set of transfer conditions which may specify a first sub-transfer. Transfer instructions may be sent to a third computing device, including instructions for a sub-transfer specified in the set of transfer conditions. The set of transfer conditions may be stored with the transfer identifier as a transfer record in non-volatile storage.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2024Publication date: August 1, 2024Inventor: Robert Way

Patent number: 11580109Abstract: Method and apparatus for stress management in a searchable data service. The searchable data service may provide a searchable index to a backend data store, and an interface to build and query the searchable index, that enables client applications to search for and retrieve locators for stored entities in the backend data store. Embodiments of the searchable data service may implement a distributed stress management mechanism that may provide functionality including, but not limited to, the automated monitoring of critical resources, analysis of resource usage, and decisions on and performance of actions to keep resource usage within comfort zones. In one embodiment, in response to usage of a particular resource being detected as out of the comfort zone on a node, an action may be performed to transfer at least part of the resource usage for the local resource to another node that provides a similar resource.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Patrick W. Ransil, Aleksey Martynov, James Larson, James R. Collette, Robert Wai-Chi Chu, Partha Saha

Patent number: 11451488Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a resource distribution system. Selected resource paths in a resource transfer network may be monitored. A quantity of an intermediate resource type to transfer into resource pools in the resource transfer network may be determined. Each of the resource pools may be associated with a leg that can be part of a route with two legs for one or more of the selected resource paths. Instructions decrementing a register in a repository resource pool by the determined quantities of the intermediate resource type to be transferred into the resource pools in the resource transfer network and incrementing a register in each of the resource pools in the resource transfer network by the determined quantity of the intermediate resource type to be transferred into that resource pool when the determined quantity is greater than zero may be generated and caused to be executed.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2020Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: RIPPLE LABS INC.Inventor: Robert Way

Patent number: 10875612Abstract: A dock assembly includes a first and a second dock sidewall joined via a first vertical receiver tube positioned between adjacent ends of the first dock sidewall and the second dock sidewall. A third dock sidewall is joined with the second dock sidewall via a second vertical receiver tube positioned between adjacent ends of the second dock sidewall and the third dock sidewall. A fourth and a fifth dock sidewalls are joined via a third vertical receiver tube positioned between adjacent ends of the fourth dock sidewall and the fifth dock sidewall. The second and the fifth dock sidewalls are positioned side by side such that respective sides of the first and third receiver tubes are abutting each other.
