  • Publication number: 20240330904
    Abstract: Securing digital assets in a vault that interfaces with multiple different third-party wallets to store keys/mnemonics. The vault interface accepts input from multiple different party wallets to combine multiple encryptions and secure storage techniques. Numerous cryptographic mechanisms are employed to securely pull a mnemonic phrase from a third-party wallet and into an institution's vault. A customer's mnemonic phrase is securely transported from a personal wallet into a secured institution's encrypted vault using the power of HSM to encrypt and decrypt a customer's mnemonic phrase securely.

  • Patent number: 12008526
    Abstract: A computer system processes a digital representation of an illiquid asset, to confirm accuracy of the digital representation and value of the asset, and generates an asset-information table indicating where the various sections of the digital representation are stored. The system also generates an asset-value token, financial-return tokens, and a data structure that includes a self-executing program. The program associates the asset-value token with the financial-return tokens, so that the illiquid asset becomes a collateral for a decentralized loan transaction implemented using blockchain technology. The use of blockchain technology for decentralized loan transactions enables immutable data traceability.

  • Patent number: 11994617
    Abstract: An apparatus is for generating an emulated radar reflection signal of a target moving at a relative velocity. The apparatus includes a radar detector, an emulation transmitter, and a processor. The radar detector is configured to detect radar chirps emitted by a device under test (DUT), where the chirps are emitted at random time intervals. The emulation transmitter is configured to generate emulated radar reflection signals of the target being emulated. The processor is configured to generate control signals at intervals corresponding to the random time intervals at which the radar chirps are emitted by the DUT, where each control signal controls the emulation transmitter to generate a radar reflection signal. A relative phase of the control signals is adjusted according to a duration of each of the random time intervals between successive chirps and a magnitude and sign of the relative velocity of the target.

  • Patent number: 11867832
    Abstract: A miniature radar target simulator (MRTS) and a system comprising a plurality of MRTS's are described. The MRTS and system are useful for emulating echo signals for a radar DUT with reduced interference. Illustrative radar test systems desirably generate the intended (emulated) radar targets and reduce unwanted (“ghost”) signals, which can result in “ghost targets,” and errant/ambient electromagnetic radiation that reduces the performance and reliability of known re-illuminators and systems including same.
