摘要： Various embodiments are directed to techniques for ensuring that a negotiable instrument has not been altered between the time the instrument leaves the hands of the payor and when the check is presented for redemption by the payee by recording an image of the check in a data block in a blockchain and retrieving the image when the check is presented for redemption for comparison with the check. A match between the stored image and the check indicates that no alteration of the check has occurred.

摘要： Provided are approaches for providing multiple user accounts in a same transaction card assembly. The transaction card assembly may include a first card including a first card first side opposite a first card second side, the first card first side including a first pair of magnetic stripes and the first card second side including a first pair of identification chips. The transaction card assembly may further include a second card coupled to the first card, the second card including a second card first side opposite a second card second side, the second card first side including a second pair of magnetic stripes, and the second card second side including a second pair of identification chips. The first and second cards are slidable relative to one another between multiple positions to selectively expose and cover each identification chip of the first and second pairs of identification chips.

摘要： Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for transmitting ephemeral content messages. A sending client may establish an end-to-end encrypted session with possible recipients of the message, using a first decryption key during initial session setup. The client may send an ephemeral content message, including encrypted content and a second key, to the recipients through a server. The server may be unable to retrieve the encrypted content due to a lack of the second key. The server may filter a list of intended recipients, and may forward the ephemeral content message to the recipients on the filtered list. The recipients may retrieve the second key from the message, and use the first and second keys to decrypt the encrypted content. The sending client may change the second key each time the recipient list changes from the perspective of the sending client, as determined at the time the ephemeral content message is transmitted.

摘要： An external magnetic actuator for use in adjusting an implantable medical device having a magnetically actuatable rotatable portion, such as an intramedullary (EVI) lengthening nail is disclosed. The actuator may include a magnet having opposite major surfaces representing opposite poles of the magnet. The magnet may be contained within an actuator body having first and second handles coupled to first and second opposing side walls of the housing. The actuator body may also include one or more projections operable to prevent first and/or second walls of the actuator body from lying flat against an external planar surface. Also provided are various kits and systems that include a disclosed external magnetic actuator and methods for using the disclosed external magnetic actuator.

摘要： Disclosed are hardware and techniques for building runbooks for new computer-implemented processes by correlating break events from the new processes with break events extant in existing runbooks for existing computer-implemented processes. In addition, fix events associated with the correlated break events are evaluated to determine the likelihood that they will be able to fix the error condition which caused the break event from the new process. The fix events are presented to a human operator who may select and test each fix event to determine if the error condition is directed and, if so, the correlated break event associated with the fix event are merged together and added to a new runbook for the new computer-implement process.

摘要： A system with at least one inflatable member configured for being arranged in a part of the patient's respiratory tract includes a catheter carrying the at least one inflatable member. The catheter includes a fluid line for filling the inflatable member with a fluid; and a pressure monitoring and control member to be arranged outside the patient's body. The pressure monitoring member is in fluid communication with the inflatable member and is configured to receive, during operation, fluid from the inflatable member when the pressure increases above a predetermined threshold pressure and to return the received fluid when the pressure decreases below said predetermined threshold pressure. The pressure monitoring and control member is an elastically expandable balloon made from a material configured to expand elastically when the pressure in the balloon increases above a predetermined threshold pressure and to contract when the pressure decreases below said predetermined threshold pressure.
