DIGITAL ARTIFACT MARKETPLACE (17656233)

Abstract

In an approach for storage, search, acquisition, and composition of a digital artifact, a processor obtains the digital artifact in a digital marketplace platform. The digital artifact is a collection of digital data with automatically generated and verifiable provenance and usage data. A processor transforms the digital artifact to define an access privilege. A processor shares the digital artifact in the digital marketplace platform by providing a view of a catalogue including the digital artifact. A processor authorizes a usage request based on the access privilege. A processor rewards a source of the digital artifact based on the usage of the digital artifact.

DIGITAL CREDENTIAL DEPENDENCY MANAGEMENT (17648828)

Abstract

Disclosed are techniques directed to digital credential dependency management. Metadata mappings are maintained between digital credentials, their underlying attributes, and dependent entities which verify and rely upon the digital credentials. When a digital credential is presented for proof to a verification entity, a dependency mapping is generated linking between the verification entity and the attributes that the verification entity requested for presentation. Updates to the digital credentials, or underlying attributes of the digital credentials, can trigger automatic notifications to the verification entities indicated in the dependency mapping. Automatic notifications, as well as their contents, may be defined by user settings to dictate which verification entities receive notifications and what digital credential and underlying attribute information is included in said notifications.

MITIGATING COMPRESSION INDUCED LOSS OF INFORMATION IN TRANSMITTED IMAGES (17656013)

Abstract

Disclosed are techniques for mitigating loss of information in electronically transmitted images caused by compression operations performed on the images to facilitate transmissions. When an image for electronic transmission is received, a computer vision model extracts various points of data from the image corresponding to information present in the image that is intended for human consumption (for example, in a scan of a handwritten note from a doctor prescribing a medicine for a patient, some of the data points may include the name of the medicine, the dosage value, and when the medicine should be consumed). A test transmission image is then generated by applying the compression operations which are applied in the electronic transmission to a copy of the image, and that copy is also inputted to the computer vision model for data point extraction. Differences in the extracted data points are used to modify the image for transmission.

A structure including an inner electrode and an outer electrode on a substrate and a phase change material layer, the phase change material layer vertically aligned above both the inner electrode and the outer electrode, where the inner electrode and the outer electrode are on the same horizontal plane. A method including forming an inner electrode and an outer electrode simultaneously on a substrate, forming a phase change material layer above both the inner electrode and the outer electrode.
