Abstract: Healthcare transaction validation systems and methods are presented. Healthcare transactions associated with a stakeholder are compiled into a chain of healthcare transaction blocks. The chain can be considered a chronicle of person's healthcare path through life. When a transaction is conducted, the corresponding healthcare parameters (e.g., inputs, outputs, clinical evidence, outcomes, etc.) are sent to one or more validation devices. The devices establish a validity of the transaction and generate a new block via a proof-of-work principle. Once the new block has been calculated it can be appended to the stakeholder's health care blockchain.

Abstract: Described are optical devices, such as photovoltaic modules that include features such as solar tracking, solar concentration, tandem cell arrangements, and thermal management to achieve high photovoltaic efficiency. The photovoltaic modules can be constructed using a variety of different materials and configurations or as a monoblock functionally graded structure to limit manufacturing, operational, and maintenance complexities while achieving high performance. The use of thermal management structures directly integrated into a photovoltaic cell can maintain such cells at desirable temperatures, which can be beneficial in optical concentrating configurations.

Abstract: One exemplary aspect relates to normalizing latency in a networking environment to reduce the chances of creating an unfair advantage. While an exemplary aspect will be discussed in relation to a gaming environment, it is to be appreciated that the techniques disclosed herein can be applied to other environments where latency normalization or the ability to maintain latency between various endpoints is desired. For example, other environments include eSporting, on-line betting, fantasy esports, streaming services, etc. Some more specific examples include World of Warcraft®, Overwatch®, H1Z1®, PUBG®, Fortnite®, Realm Royale®, Planet Side 2®, real-time strategy games, slot machines, electronic poker tournaments, etc.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and methods of managing the lifecycle of a digital token are described. In an example, while the digital token is being generated, the digital token or the underlying digital asset can be compared to other digital tokens and/or digital assets to determine similarity thereto. Based on the similarity, a program code interface (e.g., smart contract, an application programming interface—API, RPC, etc.) can be determined and an API call can be made to execute a program code. The execution can indicate whether the digital token creation process can be completed. If so, the digital token is recorded. Thereafter, its use or the use of the underlying digital asset can be monitored, whereby this monitoring can apply similarity processing. If a use thereof is determined or if a use of a similar digital token or similar digital asset is determined, notifications can be generated and sent.

Abstract: An activity recognition system is disclosed. A plurality of temporal features is generated from a digital representation of an observed activity using a feature detection algorithm. An observed activity graph comprising one or more clusters of temporal features generated from the digital representation is established, wherein each one of the one or more clusters of temporal features defines a node of the observed activity graph. At least one contextually relevant scoring technique is selected from similarity scoring techniques for known activity graphs, the at least one contextually relevant scoring technique being associated with activity ingestion metadata that satisfies device context criteria defined based on device contextual attributes of the digital representation, and a similarity activity score is calculated for the observed activity graph as a function of the at least one contextually relevant scoring technique, the similarity activity score being relative to at least one known activity graph.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in harvesting airborne moisture includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a woven mesh, supported by the UAV, for collecting liquid droplets upon contact with a fog bank, a camera, a processor, a non-transitory, tangible computer readable memory storing software instructions executable by the processor, a fog identification engine, and a flight controller on board the UAV. The fog identification engine is executable on the processor according to the software instructions and is configurable to capture a digital image via the camera, detect an absence of features in the digital image, and identify a fog bank as a function of the absence of features in the digital image. The flight controller directs the UAV to enter a fog bank identified by the fog identification engine.

Abstract: A device configured to or programmed to instantiate an isolated sub-fabric is presented. A network configuration device uses a virtual air gap policy to instantiate a sub-fabric from a fabric of networking nodes. The sub-fabric is configured with an internal routing policy that respects the nature of the defined isolation. Further, the fabric is provisioned with a virtual air gap that ensures the external networking nodes respect the isolation of the sub fabric.
