| Counsel: | Firm: ALLEN, DYER, DOPPELT, + GILCHRIST, P.A. |
| 1st Invent: | Gregory L Kerr (Naples, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=4 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | An NFT processing server may cooperate with a first device to communicate a notification of a digital promotion having an acceptance rule set associated therewith. A tethered non-fungible token (tNFT) representative of the promotion may be generated and stored on a blockchain network. The tNFT may have an immutable attribute including a reference to the rule set, and a mutable attribute indicative of rule set acceptance. A first shopper may be prompted for rule set acceptance, and, thereupon, the server may set the mutable attribute to be indicative of the acceptance, permit transfer of the digital promotion to a second device, and transfer the promotion on the blockchain network to the second device by transferring the tNFT to a digital wallet. The server may also prompt a second shopper for acceptance of the rule set, and thereupon, set the mutable attribute to be indicative of the acceptance. |

| Counsel: | Firm: Ernest D. Buff Associates, LLC |
| 1st Invent: | Keith Edward Lindemann (Punta Gorda, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A lockable safety turnbuckle with a tensioning/compressing device is subjected to an axial tension/compression force to bind, moor, or connect two objects. The device has locking sleeves that allow the device to be unlocked, set, and locked to a desired tension/compression simultaneously. Unlocking the device increases its ability to handle non-axial or lateral loads when binding, mooring, or connecting objects. Locking sleeves not only lock the device from turning, but additionally provide support, stiffness, and stability that bridge the gap between the device''s body and the rod ends. This, in turn, allows the turnbuckle to handle increased non-axial, radial or lateral loads. The turnbuckle resists bending or buckling due to the presence of lateral loads, and is safer and more reliable in operation than conventional designs. |

| Counsel: | Firm: Perilla Knox Hildebrandt LLP |
| 1st Invent: | Geoffrey McCarthy (Fort Myers, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=10 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Techniques for a service of a cloud computing system to generate and present users with visualizations of computing resources and their network relationships in private networks of the users. The cloud system obtains resource and network connection data from private networks of users and determines overall network architectures for the computing resources and their network connections. The cloud system generates visualizations that represent the overall network architectures for private networks. The visualizations may comprise single pane-of-glass views for users to quickly understand the architectures and networking inside of their private networks. The visualizations may be interactive in that users can interact with visual depictions of resources and be dynamically presented with networking connections and details for the particular resources. |
