Inventors:	Genders: F=0, M=2
Abstract: 2000 char max	A system and method for distributed storage and release of print jobs with a networked fleet of multifunction peripherals (MFSs) employs the Interplanetary File System (IPFS) for document storage with document metadata and document transactions stored on a blockchain housed on nodes formed by the multifunction peripherals. A user sends a print job to the network via a print driver on their local device. The print job is stored in the IPFS by the print driver, and the metadata and document transactions are hashed and stored to the blockchain which is managed by MFP consensus. The print job may be accessed via its content at any MFP for release and printing. Access and printing information is also added to the blockchain.

1st Invent:	Craig Steven Wright (London, )
Inventors:	Genders: F=0, M=2
Abstract: 2000 char max	The invention relates to a technique for implementing, controlling and automating a task or process on a blockchain such as, but not limited to, the Bitcoin blockchain. The invention is particularly suited for, but not limited to, automated execution of contracts such as smart contracts for financial agreements. However, other types of tasks and non-financial contracts can be implemented. The invention can be viewed as the implementation or incarnation of a state machine or DFA on a blockchain by using the unspent outputs of blockchain Transactions to represents the states of the machine, and spending of those outputs as the transition of the machine from one state to another. The invention provides a technical realisation and implementation of a mathematical model of computation conceived as an abstract machine that can be in one of a finite set of states, and can change from one state to another (transition) when a triggering event of a finite set (called input) occurs. The invention comprises compilation and codification techniques for the DFA implementation.

The method comprises the steps of providing a blockchain transaction redeemable to transfer control of a resource by providing a data item (S{subscript}1{/subscript}) to the first blockchain transaction, wherein the data item is determinable only by a controller of both a revealable value (s) and a secret value (k{subscript}0{/subscript}), and providing the revealable value to a controller of the secret value to enable said controller to determine the data item. The method may be carried out using the Bitcoin blockchain, or using a combination of different blockchains.

Abstract: 2000 char max	Described herein are systems and methods for providing trustworthy consensus information based on data from distributed data sources. An oracle program can be executed by processors in a secure execution environment, and can interact with a pool of warden servers of a blockchain to determine the trustworthy consensus information. The oracle can perform operations including providing requests for off-chain to the warden servers, receiving off-chain data values from the warden servers, and determining reliable consensus information from the received off-chain data values. The reliable consensus information can be provided to a computing device that is external to the secure execution environment.

Abstract: 2000 char max	Embodiments herein describe a hardware accelerator for a blockchain node. The hardware accelerator is used to perform a validation operation to validate one or more transactions before those transactions are committed to a ledger of a blockchain. The embodiments herein describe an out-of-order validation scheme where a collector is used to collect validated transactions out of order. Thus, if a validation pipeline has finished validating a later transaction before another validation pipeline has finished validating an earlier transaction, the pipeline can nonetheless send its results to the collector and retrieve another transaction from a scheduler. In this manner, the downtime for the validation pipelines is reduced or eliminated.
