  • Publication number: 20250072021
    Abstract: A silicon carbide MOSFET device which contains a N-Channel MOSFET, and a JFET connected to the N-Channel MOSFET such that their drain-source current paths are connected in series. A gate of the JFET is connected to a gate of the N-Channel MOSFET device via a voltage divider, which is formed monolithically with the silicon carbide substrate and the first to fourth silicon carbide layers. The protection gate structure can shield the trench oxide from high drain voltage during off-state. The voltage divider is configured to restrict a gate voltage of the JFET such that a SiC PN diode formed within the silicon carbide MOSFET device is turned off when the N-Channel MOSFET is on or off.

  • Patent number: 12211017
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for providing a framework for facilitating offline cryptocurrency transactions. A first application executed in a first secure enclave of a first device can register itself with a cryptocurrency computer network for initiating offline cryptocurrency transactions and reserve a denomination of cryptocurrency for the offline cryptocurrency transactions based on a token. The first application initiates an offline cryptocurrency transaction with a second application executed in a second enclave of a second device by transmitting a request comprising the token via a peer-to-peer connection. The second application verifies the request based on the token and attributes associated with the first application and the first secure enclave. Upon accepting the request, the second application stores the token in the second secure enclave.

  • Patent number: 12192322
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein improve blockchain storage operations in a variety of environments. A blockchain compression system may determine that a blockchain compression condition associated with a blockchain having a first plurality of blocks has been satisfied. In response, the system compresses the first plurality of blocks using a first hash tree into a first root hash value and stores the first plurality of blocks in a first database. The blockchain compression system generates a first new era genesis block that includes the first root hash value and a first database address of the first database at which the first plurality of blocks are stored. The blockchain compression system stores the blockchain at one or more nodes in a blockchain network. The blockchain includes the first new era genesis block and any previous new era genesis blocks. This may effectively reduce storage requirements for the blockchain, in various embodiments.

  • Publication number: 20240205019
    Abstract: Different communication and software protocols may be used by different blockchain networks. Cross-chain communication is provided via a software bridge configured to enable specific operations. An event request may be sent from a first blockchain network to a second blockchain network. The event request may be processed using a first protocol of the first network to provide a first output. An offer of equivalent processing provided by the second network may be verified by: processing the event request using a second protocol of the second network to provide a second output, and confirming that the second output matches the offer of equivalent processing. A processing equivalence of the event request may be established between the first network and the second network based on the first output of the event request processed using the first protocol and the second output of the event request processed using the second protocol.

  • Publication number: 20240039925
    Abstract: Methods and systems are presented for authenticating web content. A request to authenticate web content is received from a user device. A first document object model (DOM) tree representing elements of the web content within a hierarchical structure is accessed. A hash value for each node of the first DOM tree is calculated based on the corresponding element of the web content represented by that node. A second DOM tree associated with a host of the web content is retrieved from a database. The second DOM tree represents predefined elements of the web content. The hash value calculated for each node of the first DOM tree is compared with a hash value associated with a corresponding node of the second DOM tree to determine whether the first DOM tree matches the second DOM tree. The web content is authenticated when the first DOM tree matches the second DOM tree.

  • Publication number: 20230177507
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein may implement blockchain cryptocurrency transactions in a variety of environments. An online transaction processor may provide operations for user activity detection for locking cryptocurrency conversions. The transaction processor may detect used activities for a user online or at a physical location and determine that those activities indicate that the user will engage in electronic transaction processing at an upcoming time. The transaction processor may determine that the user has available cryptocurrency and may want to convert at least a portion of the cryptocurrency to another currency for the electronic transaction processing. Using a cryptocurrency exchange, the transaction processor may determine a price to convert the cryptocurrency to the other currency and may lock that price for a time period for the user. A notification may be transmitted to the user with a user interface element to accept this offer.
