US Classification:

137203, 137177, 137206, 137590

Abstract:

A drain for a pressure vessel includes a valve, a knob, a tube, a passageway, and a drain cup. The valve is coupled between an interior surface and an exterior surface of a tank. The knob is coupled to the valve for opening and closing the valve. The tube has a top end and a bottom end and is coupled to the valve at an interior surface of the tank at the top end and extends into a bottom of the tank at the bottom end. The passageway extends through the valve and has an opening coupled to the tube at a first end and an exit at a second end. The passageway is openable and closeable by the knob. The drain cup is associated with the exit of the passageway and is positioned on an exterior surface of the tank for collecting condensation from the interior of the tank. The valve is positioned at a height that is vertically higher than the bottom end of the tube.

International Classification:

G06Q 20/38
G06F 9/54

Abstract:

Various embodiments are directed to providing digital asset conversion choices involving different digital assets. An example method includes receiving a first digital asset conversion request associated with an end user and indicating a source digital asset and determining a source conversion rate for the source digital asset using an application programming interface (API). The method further includes identifying one or more alternative digital assets; determining an aggregated conversion rate between each alternative digital asset and the source digital asset by identifying the end user and using an API; providing an indication of the alternative digital assets and corresponding aggregated conversion rates for display via a client device; and responsive to receiving a second digital asset conversion request comprising a selection of an alternative digital asset, executing a digital asset conversion by causing debiting of units of the source digital asset and crediting of units of the selected alternative digital asset.

G06Q 20/26

Abstract:

Various embodiments are directed to processing and executing digital asset conversions for real-time funding of a merchant transaction involving a user. The user may pre-select digital assets to be converted to fiat currency, and a pre-selected digital asset can be internally-custodied or externally-custodied. An example method includes retrieving a first account balance data object for a fiat currency account associated with the user. The method further includes, responsive to determining that a balance of the fiat currency user account does not satisfy a fiat currency unit threshold of a merchant transaction, retrieving a second account balance data object for a digital asset account associated with the user, determining a conversion rate between a digital asset and a fiat currency, and executing a digital asset conversion by closed-loop debiting digital asset units from the digital asset account and crediting fiat currency units to the fiat currency account.

G06Q 20/26

Abstract:

Various embodiments are directed to processing and executing digital asset transfers between two users. An example method includes receiving a data object defining a digital asset transfer, and the data object may be a query from the first user to initiate an outbound transfer to a second user or an approval of a request for digital asset units from the second user. The method further includes retrieving account balance data objects associated with the digital asset accounts for the first and second users. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the digital asset transfer satisfies one or more transfer conditions, executing the digital asset transfer by executing a closed-loop debit from the first user and executing a closed-loop credit to the second user. The method further includes updating the account balance data object to reflect the resulting balances of each digital asset account.

Abstract:

Various embodiments are directed to processing conversions of digital assets to other digital assets. An example method includes determining a source exchange rate for a source digital asset and a fiat currency, determining a target exchange rate for a target digital asset and a fiat currency, and generating an aggregated conversion rate for the source digital asset and the target digital asset using the source exchange rate and the target exchange rate. The method further includes executing a digital asset conversion, which includes causing source digital asset units to be debited from a source digital asset user account and causing target digital asset units to be credited to a target digital asset user account, and subsequently executing fiat currency transactions (e.g., settlements) with a first digital asset exchange system associated with the source digital asset and a second digital asset exchange system associated with the target digital asset.

G06Q 20/10
G06Q 20/40

Abstract:

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are generally directed to processing conversions of digital assets to fiat currency. An example method includes obtaining a conversion rate for a digital asset via an API, providing the conversion rate via a client device, receiving a digital asset conversion request and executing a digital asset conversion within a configurable time period. Executing the digital asset conversion includes causing digital asset units to be debited from the digital asset user account and causing fiat currency units to be credited to a fiat currency user account. The method further includes dynamically providing a notification of execution of the digital asset conversion via the client device, updating account balance data objects associated with the digital asset user account and the fiat currency user account, and subsequent to executing the digital asset conversion, executing a fiat currency transaction (e.g., a settlement) with a digital asset exchange system.
