  • Publication number: 20230237454
    Abstract: A system is provided for the generation and management of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) for supporting an institution is provided. The system has a processor for generating at least one NFT, the NFT being associated with at least one artwork. The NFT includes at least a first set of coding identifying the at least one artwork, at least a second set of coding setting a first allocation of funds from an initial sale of said NFT to a first patron to said institution for said at least one artwork; and at least a third set of coding setting a second allocation of funds from a subsequent sale of the NFT, by a first patron to a second patron, to the institution for the at least one artwork. The NFT is configured to be sellable on an ongoing basis, such that for each subsequent sale of the NFT from the purchase by the second patron, and including all subsequent purchases by additional patrons, results in at least a portion of the subsequent sales being diverted to the institution.

  • Patent number: 7352564
    Abstract: An improved power distribution unit substation, having a plurality of differing voltage rated main breaker cells, encased within a single housing is disclosed. The improved power distribution substation saves considerable floor space as compared to prior art substations. One embodiment houses a plurality of main breaker cells in a single housing. In this embodiment, a low voltage main breaker cell is vertically positioned above a plurality of medium voltage main breaker cells. Alternatively, a medium voltage main breaker cell is vertically positioned above a plurality of low or medium voltage cells. Improved single-ended and double-ended power distribution substations are disclosed that offer cost and floor space savings as compared to prior art substations.

  • Publication number: 20060152769
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing intercolor bleed using pixel spot size control to improve print quality is provided. The method includes printing pixels having a first spot size in an image region having a boundary between a first color portion and a second color portion of the image by ejecting first sized ink drops from the printhead nozzles, and printing border pixels having spot sizes smaller than the first spot size in the image region by ejecting smaller ink drops from the printhead nozzles, wherein the smaller ink drops are smaller than the first sized ink drops. A printing system is provided having means for printing pixels in the region having the first spot size and means for printing border pixels having spot sizes smaller than the first spot size.

  • Patent number: 4160308
    Abstract: An improved optically coupled isolator uses a glass layer in combination with layers of junction coat material between the emitter and detector to provide greater electrical isolation while preventing potential ionic contamination in the glass from reaching the detector and causing a deterioration in its operating characteristics. The isolator is assembled using standard semiconductor processing techniques so that the cost of manufacture is not substantially increased.
