Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for distributing digital currency among two or more devices. As a device determines that it needs additional digital currency, it sends a request to other devices requesting that those other devices take on a portion of the computing which needs to occur. As devices receive the request, responses to the request are generated and sent back to the requesting device, each response providing an answer as to the ability of each respective device to fulfill the request. The requesting device receives the responses, aggregates and/or analyzes the responses, and determines how to transition information and resources to a new computing configuration based on the responses. These changes would be broadcast to the group through the mesh network, with any computing resource transitions (such as digital currency transmissions) likewise similarly being broadcast to the group.

Abstract: Systems and methods for preventing invalid reverse transactions in a distributed environment is provided in which a first block is added to a first cryptographically verifiable ledger containing a transaction identifier and an executable program for preventing a reversal of a transaction. A second block is added to a second unencrypted ledger and contains a flag indicating that the transaction identifier is invalid and a reference to the first block. A notification that the transaction associated with the transaction identifier is being reversed can be received and execution of the executable program for preventing a reversal of the transaction can be triggered. In response to execution of the executable program, the reversal of the transaction associated with the transaction identifier is prevented.

Abstract: Examples of the disclosure provide systems and methods for managing a smart appliance. A computing system receives, from a smart appliance associated with an appliance type, a transaction request associated with a transfer between a user and a profile manager, and determines whether a transaction ledger includes transaction data associated with a reference transaction. The reference transaction is associated with a reference configuration of an appliance associated with the appliance type. On condition that the transaction ledger includes the transaction data, the computing system transmits a configuration instruction to the smart appliance to automatically configure the smart appliance to operate in accordance with the reference configuration, and communicates with one or more nodes in a network to validate a transaction associated with the transfer.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for identifying, on an autonomous vehicle which is traveling, a loss of a primary location system, and activating a secondary location system. The secondary location system performs a radio frequency sweep of a geographic area around the autonomous vehicle to identify radio frequency beacons, compares the radio frequency beacons to known ground stations, performs a visual scan of the geographic area to identify visual beacons, each visual beacon having a particular visual frequency, and compares the particular visual frequency of each of the visual beacons to known visual beacons. The secondary location system then identifies a current location of the autonomous vehicle by triangulating the verified radio frequency beacons and the verified visual beacons and the autonomous vehicle generates a route to a stopping location based on the current location produced by the secondary location system.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for distributing database information among two or more devices. As a device determines that it needs additional computing resources, it sends a request to other devices requesting that those other devices provide at least a portion of the database information needed. As devices receive the request, responses to the request are generated and sent back to the requesting device, each response providing an answer as to the ability of each respective device to fulfill the request. The requesting device receives the responses, aggregates and/or analyzes the responses, and determines how to transition information and resources to a new computing configuration based on the responses.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for intrusion protection on autonomous vehicles. As threats are detected, the nature of the threat is analyzed. A tiered response to the threat is then implemented, with an ultimate implementation including putting the autonomous vehicle in a "turtle" mode, and intermediate implementations including isolation of various subsystems. As the threats are identified and the autonomous vehicle implements the tiered responses, the autonomous vehicle records data regarding the efficiency the responses in diminishing the threat, then modifies the code which forms the autonomous algorithms such that, over time, the autonomous vehicle improves how it recognizes and responds to threats.

Abstract: A disclosed system for transporting items to destination locations, for example when receiving inventory at large retail locations, includes an autonomous ground vehicle (AGV) having at least one shelf; a shelf elevator operable to raise and lower the at least one shelf; a drive unit operable to move the AGV between a docking location and a destination location; the AGV able to position the at least one shelf at a different heights for loading and offloading items first height and a second height different from the first height, autonomously navigate between the docking location and the first destination location, and bid on delivery tasks. Some examples are further able to use a cartridge unit to expand cargo capacity. An AGV could analyze the currently-loaded weight and the remaining available space, and dynamically adjust the heights of the shelves according to the dimensions of the assigned items.
