  • Publication number: 20200344046
    Abstract: A product tracking and authentication method and system using the cryptographic security of the blockchain, smart contracts, and information sent from scanned encrypted QR codes assigned to the product. Each product is registered and labeled with a unique QR code created by the HazeChain server. A private key and a public key are generated for each product. The QR code is embedded with a public key specific to a product. When the product moves in a supply chain it is scanned by various actors. The scanned data and the time, date and location data are sent to the server automatically and verified. The scanned data is added to an Ethereum smart contract and added to the blockchain for permanent immutable storage. Product seller and customers are now guaranteed to be presented with date that matches the exact product in their hand.

  • Publication number: 20180359049
    Abstract: A method for forward error concealment encoding of a digital signal data stream including a sequence of individual digital samples, includes encoding one or more of the individual digital samples according to an encoding mode selected from a number of predetermined encoding modes in accordance with a value of the respective digital sample, wherein encoding includes determining an encoded digital sample as a combination of bits of the respective digital sample and a predetermined number of forward error concealment bits arranged into predetermined bit positions of the encoded digital sample in accordance with the selected encoding mode. A method for forward error concealment decoding of a digital signal data stream including a sequence of encoded individual digital samples is provided, and includes decoding one or more of the individual encoded samples into respective decoded digital samples according to a decoding mode selected from a number of predetermined decoding.

  • Publication number: 20180188936
    Abstract: Ways to generate and utilize bookmarks in association with media content are described. Each bookmark may be associated with a user (210 or 320). Bookmarks associated with multiple users may be provided via a user interface (UI) (200 or 300) that includes a list of users (210) and multiple sets of bookmark indicators (250 or 310), where each set of bookmark indicators is associated with a particular user (210 or 320). A viewer may select from the indicators (250 or 310) in order to utilize the associated bookmark. Such a selection may cause playback to proceed to a location within the media content that is associated with the bookmark. A viewer may further be able to add a bookmark using various UI features (240 or 340).

  • Publication number: 20160213624
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel emulsion composition in a stable, fast acting emulsion that contains cannabidiol in an aqueous vehicle. The cannibidiol is extracted using CO2 from an industrial hemp plant that produces cannibiodiol molecules surrounded by less fats and waxes making it more hydrophilic. A little emulsifying agent, such as polysorbate 80, is mixed with cannabidiol oil to create a stable first emulsion mixture. A batch mixture is then prepared containing water, food preservatives, sugar, a sufficient amount of CBD Premix that contains citicoline and masker A for Reb A. Both mixtures are then mixed in water with ginger, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and sugar.

  • Patent number: 8464118
    Abstract: A method and a system for streaming multi channel digital isochronous data. The method is used for streaming multi channel digital isochronous data, e.g. audio data, in a standard wireless local area network transmission system where bandwidth is reserved for both contention-based traffic and contention free traffic and the audio data formed by samples is organized in audio frames and sent to receivers using multicasting, within consecutive beacon intervals. The contention free traffic of the beacon interval is adjusted to an optimum value, and the length of the beacon interval is adjusted such that a required amount of audio data can be sent to the receivers with minimum system delay.

  • Publication number: 20100293286
    Abstract: In this application is described a method and a system for collecting streaming multi channel digital isochronous data from multiple independent digital signal sources. The method is used for collecting streaming multi channel digital isochronous data, e.g. audio data, in a standard wireless local area network transmission system where bandwidth is reserved for both contention-based traffic and contention free traffic and the audio data (10) formed by samples (9) is organized in audio frames (174) and sent to receivers (6) using multicasting, within consecutive beacon intervals (137). In accordance with the invention the contention free traffic (138) of the beacon interval (137) is adjusted to an optimum value, and the length of the beacon interval (137) is adjusted such that a required amount of audio data (9) can be sent to the receivers (6) with minimum system delay.
