Abstract: A purification system and method may include a container receiving portion, pump, and magnetic field generating element. The container receiving portion may be configured to receive and support a container containing a mixture. Magnetic beads may be added to the container for separating a target substance from a remainder of the mixture. The magnetic field generating element may be movable relative to the container receiving portion between a non-working position remote from the container receiving portion and a working position adjacent an outer periphery of the container receiving portion. In the working position, the magnetic field generating element may attract the magnetic beads and hold them firmly against an interior surface of the container. While the magnetic beads are immobilized by the magnetic field generating element, the pump may remove the mixture from the container, leaving behind the magnetic beads bound tightly but reversibly to the target substance.

Title: Computer-implemented system and method for time release encryption over a blockchain network
Inventor: WRIGHT CRAIG STEVEN
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2018-06-11
Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described for generating a public encryption key on a blockchain network and enabling access to a corresponding private encryption key after a specified time period. The method comprising constructing a digital time-lock contract between an agent and a client on the blockchain network, the agent having an agent address on the blockchain network and an associated agent signature, and the client having a client address on the blockchain network and an associated client signature. The digital time-lock contract specifies that the agent holds the private encryption key corresponding to the public encryption key on the blockchain network and then releases the encryption private key to the blockchain network within a specified time window. The agent provides a first cryptographic asset for holding and then releasing the encryption private key to the blockchain network within the specified time window, the first cryptographic asset being transferrable to the agent address on the blockchain network when the encryption private key is released to the blockchain network within the specified time window. The client provides a second cryptographic asset to the agent for holding and then releasing the encryption private key to the blockchain network within the specified time window, the second cryptographic asset being transferrable to the agent address on the blockchain network when the encryption private key is released to the blockchain network within the specified time window. If the encryption private key is released prior to the time window opening then the second cryptographic asset is transferrable to the client address on the blockchain network. If the encryption private key is not released prior to the time window closing then the second cryptographic asset is transferrable to the client address on the blockchain network. The digital time-lock contract can be broadcast to the blockchain network for mining onto the blockchain.
