  • Publication number: 20220188917
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to processing and executing digital asset transfers between two users. An example method includes receiving a data object defining a digital asset transfer, and the data object may be a query from the first user to initiate an outbound transfer to a second user or an approval of a request for digital asset units from the second user. The method further includes receiving account data for the first and second users via application programming interface (API) communication with an external system, and responsive to determining that transfer conditions are satisfied, executing the digital asset transfer by causing the external system to debit digital asset units from the first user and to credit digital asset units to the second user via API communication with the external system. The method further includes updating the account data to reflect account balances resulting from the debit and the credit.

An example method includes receiving a data object defining a digital asset transfer, and the data object may be a query from the first user to initiate an outbound transfer to a second user or an approval of a request for digital asset units from the second user. The method further includes retrieving account balance data objects associated with the digital asset accounts for the first and second users. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the digital asset transfer satisfies one or more transfer conditions, executing the digital asset transfer by executing a closed-loop debit from the first user and executing a closed-loop credit to the second user. The method further includes updating the account balance data object to reflect the resulting balances of each digital asset account.

  • Publication number: 20220188811
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to processing conversions of digital assets to other digital assets. An example method includes determining a source exchange rate for a source digital asset and a fiat currency, determining a target exchange rate for a target digital asset and a fiat currency, and generating an aggregated conversion rate for the source digital asset and the target digital asset using the source exchange rate and the target exchange rate. The method further includes executing a digital asset conversion, which includes causing source digital asset units to be debited from a source digital asset user account and causing target digital asset units to be credited to a target digital asset user account, and subsequently executing fiat currency transactions (e.g., settlements) with a first digital asset exchange system associated with the source digital asset and a second digital asset exchange system associated with the target digital asset.

  • Publication number: 20220188812
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are generally directed to processing conversions of digital assets to fiat currency. An example method includes obtaining a conversion rate for a digital asset via an API, providing the conversion rate via a client device, receiving a digital asset conversion request and executing a digital asset conversion within a configurable time period. Executing the digital asset conversion includes causing digital asset units to be debited from the digital asset user account and causing fiat currency units to be credited to a fiat currency user account. The method further includes dynamically providing a notification of execution of the digital asset conversion via the client device, updating account balance data objects associated with the digital asset user account and the fiat currency user account, and subsequent to executing the digital asset conversion, executing a fiat currency transaction (e.g., a settlement) with a digital asset exchange system.

  • Patent number: 11351329
    Abstract: An apparatus for humidifying a flow of breathable gas includes a water reservoir and a water reservoir dock forming a cavity structured and arranged to receive the water reservoir in an operative position. The water reservoir comprises a reservoir base including a cavity structured to hold a volume of water, the reservoir base including a main body and a thermally conductive portion provided to the main body. The thermally conductive portion comprises a combined layered arrangement including a metal plate and a thin film, the thin film comprising a non-metallic material and including a wall thickness of less than about 1 mm. The thin film is adapted to form at least a bottom interior surface of the water reservoir exposed to the volume of water, and the metal plate is adapted to form a bottom exterior surface of the water reservoir.

  • Patent number: 11351676
    Abstract: Disclosed is a self-lifting robot with multi-jointed arm. The robot includes a multipart housing, a traction drivetrain capable of generating translational and rotational motion of the self-lifting robot on a working surface, and a deployment hook configured to release from a storage hanger, thus depositing the self-lifting robot onto the working surface, and configured to re-attach to the storage hanger, thus lifting the self-lifting robot off of the working surface. The robot also includes a multi jointed arm, and a grabber disposed from a free-rotating wrist joint at a distal end of the multi-jointed arm, and configured to grab, hold, and release one or more target objects.
