Patent number: 11924350Abstract: A system and method for selectively transmitting cryptographically signed information to a limited number of parties of an agreement using one or more processors. For each party affected by a decision of a first party, the processors generate a token according to a function of both (i) a cryptographic key of the given party and (ii) a cryptographic key of a second party, and transmit to respective private data stores of each party (a) the first party's decision, (b) the generated token, and (c) an identity of the second party. The decision of the first party and the generated tokens are transmitted to the private data stores of only the parties that are affected by the decision of the first party.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Digital Asset (Switzerland) GmbHInventors: Alexander Bernauer, Tamas Blummer, Shaul Kfir, James Benton Litsios, Simon Meier

Patent number: 10225428Abstract: A computer peripheral that may operate as a scanner. The scanner captures image frames as it is moved across an object. The image frames are formed into a composite image based on computations in two processes. In a first process, fast track processing determines a coarse position of each of the image frames based on a relative position between each successive image frame and a respective preceding image determine by matching overlapping portions of the image frames. In a second process, fine position adjustments are computed to reduce inconsistencies from determining positions of image frames based on relative positions to multiple prior image frames. The peripheral may also act as a mouse and may be configured with one or more navigation sensors that can be used to reduce processing time required to match a successive image frame to a preceding image frame.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2016Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: ML Netherlands C.V.Inventors: Martin Georg Zahnert, Erik Fonseka, Alexander Ilic, Simon Meier, Andreas Breitenmoser
