  • Publication number: 20170048234
    Abstract: The Social Aggregating, Fractionally Efficient Transfer Guidance, Conditional Triggered Transaction, Datastructures, Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“SOCOACT”) transforms smart contract request, crypto currency deposit request, crypto collateral deposit request, crypto currency transfer request, crypto collateral transfer request inputs via SOCOACT components into transaction confirmation outputs. An aggregated crypto 2-party transaction trigger entry that specifies at least one associated aggregated blockchain oracle may be instantiated. A first encrypted a token may be obtained from a first associated aggregated blockchain oracle. A second encrypted token may be obtained from a second associated aggregated blockchain oracle.

  • Publication number: 20170048209
    Abstract: The Crypto Key Recovery and Social Aggregating, Fractionally Efficient Transfer Guidance, Conditional Triggered Transaction, Datastructures, Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“SOCOACT”) transforms MKADSD generation request, trigger event message inputs via SOCOACT components into transaction confirmation, recovery notification outputs. A multiple key account data structure datastore (MKADSD) generation request may be obtained from a user. A set of crypto public keys for a MKADSD may be determined. The MKADSD may be instantiated in a socially aggregated blockchain datastructure using the determined set of crypto public keys. A crypto recovery private key may be associate with the MKADSD and trigger event recovery settings for the MKADSD may be set. A trigger event message associated with the MKADSD may be obtained and recovery settings associated with a trigger event may be determined. The crypto recovery private key may be retrieved and a recovery action may be facilitated.

  • Patent number: 9105386
    Abstract: A method of setting an air gap between an electromagnetic coil and an armature of an electro-mechanical device to be within a desired range includes applying a sensing signal to the electromagnetic coil and monitoring at least one electrical characteristic of the electromagnetic coil. The at least one electrical characteristic is related to a size of the air gap and the sensing signal. The method further includes moving the armature towards the electromagnetic coil to reduce the size of the air gap and stopping movement of the armature towards the electromagnetic coil when the at least one electrical characteristic indicates the size of the air gap is within the desired range.

  • Patent number: 9038799
    Abstract: A component, such as an engine accessory for an automotive engine, that has clutch with a helical clutch coil and an axially movable armature. The helical clutch coil is normally engaged so as to transmit rotary power between a driving member and a driven member. The armature can be moved to apply a force to a tang of the helical clutch coil that causes the helical clutch coil to disengage to an extent where full rotary power is not passed through the clutch to drive the component.

  • Patent number: 8789670
    Abstract: A decoupler having a hub, a drive member and an isolator. The drive member is disposed about the hub for rotation about a rotational axis and includes an inner clutch surface. The isolator couples the hub and the drive member and includes a carrier, a plurality of arcuate springs, and a wrap spring. The carrier is received between the hub and the drive member and includes a carrier member, which defines a pair of apertures, and a pair of reaction blocks that are mounted in the apertures. The arcuate springs are mounted in the carrier member and are disposed between the hub and an associated one of the reaction blocks. The wrap spring has an end and a plurality of helical coils that are engaged to the inner clutch surface of the drive member. The end has an end face that is abutted against one of the reaction blocks.

  • Publication number: 20140180904
    Abstract: Various techniques are disclosed for offloading the processing of data packets. For example, incoming data packets can be processed through an offload processor to generate a new stream of outgoing data packets that organize data from the data packets in a manner different than the incoming data packets. Furthermore, in an exemplary embodiment, the offloaded processing can be resident in an intelligent switch, such as an intelligent switch upstream or downstream from an electronic trading platform.
