| 1st Invent: | Douglas Max Grover (Provo, UT) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | An event is detected. The event is a designated event for capturing a snapshot of a blockchain where the blockchain is not replicated in a distributed ledger. For example, the event may be where a specific number of new blocks have been added to the blockchain. In response to detecting the event, a capstone block or a lock block is created. The capstone block or the lock block is added to the blockchain. A copy of the capstone block or the copy of the lock block sent to a trusted authority. The copy of the capstone block or the copy of the lock block is used to validate some or all the blockchain to detect if the blockchain has been changed. For example, validating the blockchain may be to detect if the blockchain has been tampered with or has become corrupted. |

| 1st Invent: | Ramani Panchapakesan (Bangalore Karnataka, ) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Systems and methods are described for onboarding a new device to a blockchain secured network. A trusted device that is already enrolled on the blockchain can receive information from a new device. The new device can send an onboarding request to a server through a non-blockchain secured Application Programming Interface (''API''). The trusted device can send an onboarding request for the new device through a blockchain secured API. The server can receive the requests and match them. The server can authenticate the two devices and send a request to a blockchain consensus to add the new device to the blockchain with the trusted device as a referral. The blockchain consensus can add the new device to the blockchain and notify the server. The server can notify the new device, and the new device can begin communicating through the blockchain secured API or directly with other devices on the blockchain. |

| Counsel: | Firm: TUCKER ELLIS LLP |
| 1st Invent: | Baohua Yang (Foster City, CA) |
| Inventors: | Genders: No name resolution. |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Described herein are systems and methods for transaction identification (ID) generation in transaction-based environments. The systems and methods provided generated transaction IDs which inherently define a range of values (a range of blockchain heights) within which the transaction is valid. This obviates problems associated with traditional transaction ID databases where a transaction ID only comprises a hashed value. That is, the presently disclosed systems and methods are an improvement over traditional hashing schemes as in traditional hashing schemes, a server must traverse an entire transaction ID database to determine if an incoming transaction is valid. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Described herein are systems and methods for virtualizing policy enforcement amongst participants of an overlay network. In some embodiments, each of the participants may maintain a separate blockchain network. The overlay network may receive smart contracts or other policy documents that include information on interactions with a particular participant or between participants. A controller, which may be implemented on any node of the overlay network, may then extract an interaction algorithm from that smart contract that may be stored in policy data to be used in completing transactions between two participants of the overlay network. In some embodiments, the policy data may include cost data which may be used to determine how two entities may interact. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | There is provided a processor(s) executing a blockchain smart contract, for: managing a primary reserve of primary tokens and a secondary reserve of secondary tokens, receiving a transaction request, obtaining an external price of the primary token, compute an updated value of the primary reserve according to the external price, in response to the updated total value of primary reserve being unequal to an initial staked value of the primary reserve, adjust primary and secondary dynamic reserve weights, wherein a total value computed by a function of the primary reserve after being increased or decreased by a target amount of primary tokens and using the adjusted primary and secondary dynamic reserve weights, is equal to the initial staked value of the primary reserve, and the total value of the primary reserve is maintained at a predefined ratio to a total value of the secondary reserve, and executing the transaction request. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | An example operation may include one or more of identifying a newly proposed transaction of a blockchain, initiating a consensus operation to determine whether to authorize the newly proposed transaction, retrieving a key-value pair identified from a previous transaction, comparing an index value associated with the key-value pair of the previous transaction to an index value associated with a key-value pair of the newly proposed transaction, and providing an affirmative consensus to accept the newly proposed transaction in the blockchain when the index value associated with the key-value pair of the previous transaction is contiguously sequential with the index value associated with the key-value pair of the newly proposed transaction. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=5, M=6 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | Methods and systems for maintaining a distributed ledger and/or blockchain of transactions and/or events pertaining to autonomous vehicles and/or smart contracts. An enforcement server may receive indications of transactions and/or events generated by one or more autonomous vehicles. The transactions and/or events may include information relating to a trigger condition and/or a decision condition associated with one or more smart contracts. The enforcement server may route the transaction to the appropriate smart contract to determine whether a trigger condition has been satisfied. When a trigger condition is satisfied, the enforcement server may automatically perform an action to enforce the smart contract and/or update the distributed ledger. In some aspects, the distributed ledger may record events associated with autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technology or system usage, including events associated with transitioning between manual and autonomous control, or vice versa, of one or more autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=1, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | In order to detect possible damage to a delivered product, a set of first images of the product is created prior to delivery which are used to generate a first 3D photogrammetry model, and a set of second electronic images are created after delivery which are used to generate a second 3D photogrammetry model. The two models are then compared to determine whether there is a sufficient deviation to conclude the product has been damaged. The comparison is performed by a cognitive system trained with samples of before/after photogrammetry model pairs each associated with either a damaged condition or a not damaged condition. The baseline photogrammetry model is part of a blockchain record and the recipient photogrammetry model is added to the blockchain record. Intermediate photogrammetry models can also be built where there is more than one shipper along the delivery route to assign liability to the proper party. |

| Abstract: 2000 char max | Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for proof of play (PoP) blockchain mining. In some implementations, a corresponding method may include providing a set of one or more task parameters for a group task to each of two or more users; responsive to a consensus among the two or more users, storing a start-task transaction that includes the set of one or more task parameters signed by each of the two or more users; storing an end-task transaction at an address of a blockchain; determining respective rewards for at least a subset of the two or more users based at least on the start-task transaction and the end-task transaction; and recording the respective rewards in the blockchain. |
