Abstract: A multimodal anti-emetic anesthetic/analgesic formulation for pain control not limited to postoperative pain control is described herein. The opioid-free/sparing anesthetic/analgesic formulation comprises a local anesthetic, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, and a cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor such as Bupivacaine Hydrochloride, Ketamine Hydrochloride, and Ketorolac Tromethamine, which is effective to significantly reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting and enhance postoperative pain relief as compared to existing prior art anesthetics/analgesics. The formulation is administered to a mammal in need of anesthesia/analgesia and can be used as a preemptive and preventative multimodal analgesic. The formulation may have a buffer to enhance its shelf life and improve pharmacokinetics.

Abstract: Among other things, a documentation of a crash involving a vehicle is generated automatically. Telematics data is received that has been produced by one or more sensors associated with a telematics device at the vehicle. Based on the telematics data, a vehicle crash period is determined that begins at a start time and ends at an end time of the vehicle crash. Based on the telematics data, one or more metrics are determined associated with the vehicle during the vehicle crash period. Based on one or more metrics, a human-readable documentation of the vehicle crash is generated automatically.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, apparatus, methods and/or the like for generating a resource distribution hub using for fully electronic resource distribution by using mobile device application designed to interface with an embedded Near-Field Communication (NFC) tag in a resource distribution instrument that stores instructions for processing the resource distribution authorization information. The holder (i.e., resource provider) of the resource distribution instrument can use the resource distribution instrument to communicate to a mobile communication device having an NFC reader to read the instructions and process a resource distribution according to the parameters of the mobile device application. As such, the holder (i.e., resource provider) of the resource distribution request can process the resource distribution without having to issue a credentials, aliases, pin codes, and the like conventionally used to authorizes the distribution of resources to the resource requester.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for secondary authentication via contactless distribution of dynamic resources. When an event request associated with a user is received, a prompt for event information is transmitted to a computing device. Based on the event information that is received, a determination is made that the event request requires a secondary authentication in the form of a near field communication (“NFC”) interaction between an NFC chip associated with the user and a secondary authentication device. The NFC chip associated with the user may additionally be associated with a dynamic resource value element. Once the NFC interaction is detected, a dynamic resource value is extracted and compared to an expected dynamic resource value. If the values match, then the user is authenticated for the requested event at the secondary authentication level.

The system may further provide an augmented reality environment to a networked device that integrates identifies objects in an image and integrates notifications of supplemental resources in the augmented reality environment.
