| 1st Invent: | Ganesh Prasad Bhat (West Orange, NJ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=3 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | The systems and methods disclosed herein orchestrate memory sharing among autonomous (or semi-autonomous) AI agentic models (''agents'') by dynamically organizing agent memories based on operational characteristics, taxonomic classifications, and/or other factors. Received operational data (e.g., token sets) are mapped to predefined taxonomic nodes (e.g., taxonomic node subsets) based on a degree of similarity between the operational data and predefined taxonomic nodes. An ontological reference pointer is determined for the operational data based on a position of the taxonomic node subset within the ontological data structure. The operational data is compressed into a memory capsule data structure using the ontological reference pointer. A blockchain transaction identifier is generated for the memory capsule data structure and stored in a distributed network accessible to multiple agents. Retrieval agents can request specific memory capsule data structures by providing ontological parameter(s) and/or similarity thresholds, thus enabling identification and transmission of matching memory capsule data structures. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=6, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A computer-based bidding system, computer readable medium and method is provided for bidding on a project or service. A first client creates a project specification. Second clients bid on the project. A second client encrypts bid information immediately after creating a bid information file, calculates a first hash value for the bid information file, and submits the first hash value for linking as a block in a blockchain. A blockchain system performs a second encryption upon receiving the encrypted bid information, calculates a second hash value for the encrypted bid file, and submits the second hash value for linking as a block in the blockchain. The second client performs a third encryption when the bid information file is opened to generate an encrypted opened bid information file. The second client performs a bidding process with the first client using the bid information file. |

| 1st Invent: | Alexander Lipton (Abu Dhabi, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=2 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Techniques are described relating to the ownership and management of digital assets that are represented by non-fungible tokens (or ''NFTs'') on a blockchain. Trusted hardware is used to enable encrypted digital assets to be consumed solely by the owners of the encrypted digital assets and further to enable the transfer of ownership in the digital asset to a new owner using a blockchain. An owner of a digital asset controls access to and consumption of the digital asset via the trusted hardware to which the asset is cryptographically bound. The legal ownership of the digital asset is represented on the blockchain via an NFT. When an NFT changes ownership (e.g., when it is sold to a new owner) on the blockchain, a secure hardware-to-hardware asset transfer protocol is used (off-chain). |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | The present disclosure relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a method and apparatus for classifying a blockchain address. The method includes: transaction vectors are generated for transaction records corresponding to each blockchain address in a blockchain address set; a corresponding address vector is generated based on the transaction vectors corresponding to a blockchain address to be classified; and the address vector of the blockchain address to be classified is input into a classifier, so as to determine a class of the blockchain address to be classified. By means of the method, equal-length vectors representing the blockchain addresses can be obtained for classification by the classifier, transaction behaviors and association relationships of participating entities in a blockchain are effectively expressed. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | A blockchain-based data processing method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium are provided. Block proposal information is received including a block and a digital signature transmitted by an out-block node. The digital signature is obtained by performing digital signature processing on block header information included in the block. The block header information includes a first Merkel root determined based on transaction data in the block body information. Digest calculation on the block header information is performed to obtain first digest information. De-signature processing is performed on the digital signature to obtain second digest information. A second Merkel root is determined based on the transaction data acquired from the block proposal information when the first digest information and the second digest information are matched. An operation on the block is performed based on a comparison result of the first Merkel root and the second Merkel root. |
