    摘要: Securing devices are shown and disclosed. In one embodiment, the securing device includes a threaded member movably attached to a first structure. The securing device additionally includes a receptacle attached to a second structure. The receptacle defines an opening sized to receive a portion of the at least one threaded member. The securing device further includes a fastener having an aperture with corresponding threads to receive the threaded member. The fastener additionally includes a handle portion sized to be grasped in the palm of a user's hand to move the fastener between a secured position in which the fastener contacts the receptacle when the portion of the at least one threaded member is received in the opening to secure the threaded member to the receptacle and to secure the first and second structures together, and an unsecured position in which the fastener is spaced from the receptacle.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system for measuring consumption of content data having content for serially presentation is presented. The method comprises generating n random numbers, where n>0, generating a first value P1 at least in part from a cryptographic function of the n random numbers, publishing the first value P1 to a smart contract associated with a blockchain, embedding consumption monitoring data comprising the n random numbers in different temporal locations of the content data and transmitting the content data to a client device for consumption. A client device extracts each of the n random and transmits the extracted n random numbers to the smart contract associated with the blockchain. A smart contract verifies that the n random numbers match the embedded n random numbers and executes a transaction of the smart contract.

    摘要: A passive optical network system having a node that is optically coupled to optical line terminals (OLTs), and that is optically coupled to optical network units (ONUs). The node includes at least one fiber link module (FLM), each FLM including an upstream multiplex conversion device (MCD), and a downstream MCD. The upstream MCD receives an upstream optical signal from the ONUs, converts the upstream optical signal to an upstream electrical signal, and transmits a regenerated upstream optical signal to the OLTs. The downstream MCD receives a downstream optical signal from the OLTs, converts the downstream optical signal to a downstream electrical signal, and transmits a regenerated downstream optical signal to the ONUs.
