Publication number: 20180150564Abstract: The present invention provides methods, databases and devices for establishing the first integration of social behavior with biological phenotypic measurements. In one embodiment, a method for correlating data from a sample database and a survey database is provided. The method comprises obtaining a sample comprising biological molecules from an individual, simultaneously obtaining survey data from the individual, storing the survey data in the survey database, analyzing the sample of biological molecules to determine the composition of biological molecules, storing the data from the composition in the sample database, and correlating the data from the sample database to the data from the survey database.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2018Publication date: May 31, 2018Applicant: iPhenotype LLCInventors: Jay M. Short, Steve Briggs

Publication number: 20180116574Abstract: A method for generating correlations between human biological phenotype and human behavioral and/or emotional phenotype, and optionally to temporal location, comprising the steps of correlating data on biological phenotype with survey-based data on behavioral and/or emotional phenotype. The data on biological phenotype is collected from a sample from an individual, and the survey-based data can be collected from answers to behavioral and emotional questions from the individual or from observations of the individual by a third party. Correlations can further be used to predict behavior, including preferences, wellness needs and desires, and/or emotions. Feedback, advice and guidance can be provided to individuals based on such correlations. Such correlations are further useful for product and service providers and industries for purposes of standardizing or rating product quality and efficacy, and/or for promotion and selling purposes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2017Publication date: May 3, 2018Applicant: iPhenotype LLCInventors: Jay M.

Patent number: 9400715Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving data. The method further includes splitting the data into a plurality of fixed-size blocks. Each block comprises a plurality of bytes. In addition, the method includes, for each block of the plurality of fixed-size blocks, calculating an error-correction byte. The method also includes appending the error-correction byte to the block as one of the plurality of bytes. Moreover, the method includes calculating, as part of the block, a parity bit for each of the plurality of bytes. Furthermore, the method includes separating the block into a plurality of bit streams that are perpendicular to the plurality of bytes. Each bit position of the block corresponds to one of the plurality of bit streams. Also, the method includes causing the plurality of bit streams to be stored on a plurality of storage elements in a bit-striped fashion.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2015Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: DIGITAL ORDNANCE STORAGE, INC.Inventor: Steve Briggs

Publication number: 20050227749Abstract: Methods and systems for operating a computer game designed to operate in a personal computer environment in an arcade-style environment are disclosed. According to the present invention, a computer game designed to operate in a personal computer environment is operated in the personal computer environment using a computer operating system and compatible software. An arcade-style environment is created by securing the personal computer environment to prevent unwanted computer programs from running in the personal computing environment; this can be accomplished, in part, by replacing the default operating system interface with an arcade-style operations interface. Arcade-style environment features are added to the computer game. Arcade-style environment features can include arcade-style specific accounting features, arcade-style specific sounds, arcade-style specific displays, and arcade-style specific controls.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2004Publication date: October 13, 2005Inventors: Eddie Bender, Pierre Maloka, Steve Briggs
