Abstract: Disclosed is a data processing system that processes data therein and a method of using the data processing system. The data processing system includes a plurality of data processing nodes that are coupled together via a data communication network arrangement. The data processing system distributes a plurality of computing tasks across plurality of data processing nodes, wherein plurality of computing tasks are distributed according to a directed acyclic graph (DAG) allocation arrangement, wherein the DAG allocation arrangement employs consensus voting arrangement employing recursive elections of nodes or users of data processing system to control operation of the DAG allocation arrangement to incentivize participation of the plurality of data processing nodes to process the plurality of computing tasks and wherein the DAG allocation arrangement is associated with a ledger arrangement operable to control or record execution of the plurality of computing tasks.

Abstract: A system includes an encoder magnet, a magnetic field sensor, and a shield structure. The encoder magnet is configured to rotate about an axis of rotation and is configured to produce a measurement magnetic field. The magnetic field sensor is axially displaced away from the encoder magnet and is configured to detect the measurement magnetic field. The shield structure at least partially surrounds both of the encoder magnet and the magnetic field sensor for shielding against stray magnetic fields. The shield structure attaches to a secondary structure. The shield structure and the encoder magnet may be coupled via the secondary structure so that they are commonly rotational. Alternatively, the sensor package and the shield structure are coupled via the secondary structure so that they are nonrotational relative to the encoder magnet.

Abstract: A sensor package includes a magnetic field sensor having first and second surfaces, the first surface being a sensing surface of the magnetic field sensor, a shield structure spaced apart from the magnetic field sensor, and a spacer interposed between the magnetic field sensor and the shield structure. The shield structure is configured to suppress stray magnetic fields in a plane parallel to first and second axes that are parallel to the sensing surface of the magnetic field sensor and perpendicular to one another. The shield structure may include a continuous sidewall having a central region, the spacer being surrounded by the continuous sidewall and the sensing surface of the magnetic field sensor being positioned outside of the central region. A system includes an encoder magnet and the sensor package, with the sensing surface of the magnetic field sensor facing the encoder magnet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling data transmission between parties. The method includes the steps of: creating a link between a first and second party; establishing a communications channel between the first and the second party based upon the link to transmit data associated with the first party; and transporting the data to the second party via the communications channel. The link is associated with parameters which govern the communications channel. A system for controlling data transmission is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for providing participants to a multiparty meeting with a transcript of the meeting, comprising the steps of: establishing an meeting among two or more participants; exchanging during said meeting voice data as well as documents; uploading at least a part of said voice data and at least a part of said documents to a remote speech recognition server (1), using an application programming interface of said remote speech recognition server; converting at least a part of said voice data to text with an automatic speech recognition system (13) in said remote speech recognition server, wherein said automatic speech recognition system uses said documents to improve the quality of speech recognition; building in said remote speech recognition server a computer object (120) embedding at least a part of said voice data, at least a part of said documents, and said text; making said computer object (120) available to at least one of said participant.
