Abstract: A database system writes data to a volatile memory and generates metadata associated with the data written to the volatile memory. The database system stores a message usable to confirm that the data was written in the volatile memory and links the metadata to the message. A data structure receives the data and the metadata and stores at least the data. A service managing the data structure provides a confirmation that the data was stored by the data structure. The confirmation includes at least the metadata associated with the data. The database system, in response to the confirmation that the data was obtained by the data structure, identifies the stored message using the metadata included with the confirmation and then releases the message.

Abstract: A spacer fabric has a first flat warp-knitted fabric layer having openings each formed by a respective plurality of stitches and a second flat warp-knitted fabric layer also having openings that are each formed by a respective plurality of stitches. The second warp-knitted fabric layer further has at least a first yarn system and a second yarn system and yarns of the first yarn system run in a production direction on exactly over respective stitch wale and yarns of the second yarn system extend over at least two adjacent stitch wales that run in the production direction. The openings are larger than one of the stitches or a space between two of the stitches. Spacer yarns interconnect the warp-knitted fabric layers.

Abstract: A coupling block element for a Kenter shackle, formed from two half elements which can be pushed into one another, for anchor chains, wherein the half elements each have one short limb with a profile structure at the end and one long limb with a receiving chamber therefor. The coupling block element can be inserted between the half elements which are pushed into one another. The coupling block element has a housing which is profiled on its side surfaces, which are to face the half elements, for positively locking guidance on the half elements. At least one locking element can be displaced in a locking element guide bore and the ends of which, which exit to the outside, are configured for engaging in locking element receptacles on the inner flanks of the half elements and is arranged on each of the opposite sides of the main body.

Abstract: A system and method for handling crypto-asset transactions includes: receiving from a payment processing system an electronic transaction request including: a payment token corresponding to a payment identifier associated with the customer account, and a transaction amount in a fiat currency; determining current price data corresponding to a first crypto-asset and a second crypto-asset associated with the customer account; associating the electronic transaction request with at least one data processing task for executing at least one crypto-asset transaction; and when at least one crypto-asset confidence condition is satisfied based on the current price data of at least one of the first crypto-asset or the second crypto-asset, generating signals for providing, via the payment processing system, an indication that the electronic transaction request is authorized without waiting for confirmation of execution of the at least one crypto-asset transaction.

Abstract: A spacer fabric has a first planar warp-knitted fabric layer, a second planar warp-knitted fabric layer, and spacer threads separating the warp-knitted fabric layers, wherein the first warp-knitted fabric layer is formed from at least a first and a second thread system and has stitch wales that run in the production direction, as well as stitch courses that run in the crosswise direction. The first thread system is formed as a pillar stitch construction, and the threads of the second thread system are guided, without forming loops, along the production direction, in an alternating sequence, offset and alternately over at least two adjacent stitch wales. The threads of the first thread-system have a greater fineness than the spacer threads.

Abstract: A composite cryptographic data structure is described, and corresponding methods, systems, and computer readable media. The composite cryptographic data structure is instantiated based on an underlying set of cryptographic tokens (e.g., blockchain/distributed ledger tokens) that, in some embodiments, are transferrable through on-chain transactions established on one or more distributed ledger networks. Identity validation, in some embodiments, may occur at one of composite cryptographic data structure instantiation or composite cryptographic data structure redemption, or both, through the use of a whitelist or a blacklist data structure.

Abstract: Computer-based methods and systems are provided for allocating landed costs. A planned landed cost of materials is calculated based on various planned landed costs. Landed costs are separated into an allocation document to generate a permanent record for cost allocation. When actual landed costs are received the allocation is applied based on different sets of accounting rules and one or more journal entries are generated and persisted based on application of the allocation document and the applied different sets of accounting rules.

Abstract: A belt conveyor comprises a belt with a drive roller, a deflection roller that can be adjusted relative thereto upwardly and/or downwardly, and an upper run extending therebetween for transporting the food products. The belt conveyor comprises a deflection element arranged between the drive roller and the deflection roller and configured for adjustment in the direction of transport. The upper and/or the associated lower run of the belt transitions from a first longitudinal section running in the direction of transport to a second longitudinal section tilted relative thereto when the deflection roller has been adjusted. The second longitudinal section can be quickly tilted and flexibly adapted to the dimensions of the food products and their transport distances inbetween.
