Abstract: An annulus excavation tool that would surround the decayed pole or pile and hydraulically excavate the annulus around the pole down to ?2.0? via a jetting manifold. A vacuum/tremie manifold is selectively coupled to a vacuum source to remove the soil and decayed material and creating a bonding surface for the mortar. The annulus tool would then be coupled to the mortar source and raised while a UHPC mortar would be tremied into the tool for delivery into the annulus. When the tool reaches ground level the rest of the pour is done using a Sonotube or other temporary form. This mortar encasement not only makes up for the structural deficiencies but also isolates the pole from both air and water which then kills the existing fungi and insects while also preventing any future invasion.

Abstract: The Seed Splitting and Firmware Extension for Secure Cryptocurrency Key Backup, Restore, and Transaction Signing Platform Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“SFTSP”) transforms transaction signing request, key backup request, key recovery request inputs via SFTSP components into transaction signing response, key backup response, key recovery response outputs. An offline transaction signing request message for a transaction is received by a first cold HSM and includes an encrypted second master key share from a second cold HSM and an encrypted third master key share from a hot HSM. A first master key share is retrieved. The encrypted master key shares are decrypted and, along with the first master key share, used to recover a master private key. A keychain path is determined. A signing private key for the keychain path is generated using the master private key. The transaction is signed using the signing private key, and the generated signature is returned.
