IPC: G06Q10/10
Filed: 2019-10-24
Abstract: Contributions to a work by contributors having respective levels in a defined hierarchy are recorded in one or more blockchain transactions. One or more lower-level contributors (C-A, C-B)) provide, to a higher-level contributor (C-G0), one or more Iower-level contributions (D-A, D-B)) respectively, and the higher-level contributor provides a higher-level contribution (D) responsive to the one or more lower-level contributions. A higher-level contributor transaction comprises one or more inputs, which in turn comprise one or more pointers to one or more spendable outputs of one or more lower-level contributor transactions and one or more transaction signatures.

Title: Method, device and system for range finding
Inventor: DANIEL GEORGE PURKIS
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 2020-09-03
Abstract: A method system and device for range finding comprise determining 204 a first optical signature of a spool of optical fibre 16 wound in a winding pattern (310,312 in figure 7). The winding pattern comprises repeated changes in a winding parameter (see figure 9) to provide a different optical response such that the first optical signature comprises a plurality of markers representing each change in the winding parameter. The method further comprises de-spooling the fibre 16 from the spool and then determining a second optical signature of the spool of optical fibre 16 after despoiling the fibre 16 from the spool 14. A calculation of the length of de-spooled fibre is based on a comparison of the first and the second optical signatures. The determined length may be used to determine a range of the spool of optical fibre 16 deployed in a wellbore. The variation in the winding parameter may be that of differences in winding pitch, radius, tension, pressure or twist. The signatures may be determined by distributed sensing in the optical fibre by using Rayleigh backscatter noise.
