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. A transaction signing request message for a transaction is received by a first HSM and includes an encrypted second master key share from a second HSM whose access is controlled by M-of-N authentication policy. The encrypted second master key share is decrypted. A first master key share is retrieved. A master private key is recovered from the master key shares. A transaction hash and a keychain path is determined. A signing private key for the keychain path is generated using the recovered master private key. The transaction hash is signed using the signing private key, and the generated signature is returned.

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 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. A key backup request that includes an encrypted master key associated with a hosting HSM is received by a backup HSM from a backup utility. A private key decryption key corresponding to a public key encryption key previously provided by the backup HSM to the backup utility for the hosting HSM is retrieved from the backup HSM's tamper-proof storage and used to decrypt the encrypted master key. A specified number of master key shares to generate for the decrypted master key is determined and generated using a secret sharing method. The generated master key shares are provided to the backup utility.

Abstract: Surface modification layers and associated heat treatments, that may be provided on a sheet, a carrier, or both, to control both room-temperature van der Waals (and/or hydrogen) bonding and high temperature covalent bonding between the thin sheet and carrier. The room-temperature bonding is controlled so as to be sufficient to hold the thin sheet and carrier together during vacuum processing, wet processing, and/or ultrasonic cleaning processing, for example. And at the same time, the high temperature covalent bonding is controlled so as to prevent a permanent bond between the thin sheet and carrier during high temperature processing, as well as maintain a sufficient bond to prevent delamination during high temperature processing.
