Abstract: A method of renting rentable items using NFTs receives a request from an owner to list a rentable item for rent, causes a distributed ledger system to mint an inheritable rental NFT, and assign the rental NFT to the owner. The method lists the item for rent, receives a request from a renter to rent the item for a first set of time durations, and causes the distributed ledger system to mint a first set of child rental NFTs, where each child rental NFT is associated with a time duration in the first set of time durations, assign the first set of child rental NFTs to the renter, mint a second set of one or more child rental NFTs for the rentable item for time durations other than the first set of time durations, assign the second set of child rental NFTs to the owner, and burn the rental NFT.

Abstract: A method of validating the ownership of a cryptocurrency based on the user's biometric information is provided. The user's accounts are generated based on their biometric information. The biometric information of the users is stored in their accounts as their original biometric seeds. The users generate additional user-generated biometric seeds from portions of their original biometric seeds. The users use capsules as valued carriers. The users combine the capsules and their user-generated biometric seeds to generate cryptocurrencies with the same value as the capsules. When a cryptocurrency is transferred from a first owner to a second owner, the second owner decomposes the cryptocurrency to get a capsule with the same value as the cryptocurrency. The second user combines the capsule of the second user's user generated biometric seeds to generate a cryptocurrency.

Abstract: A system, marketplace, and method for developers to develop and provide games and/or non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to users for use across multiple gaming environments is provided. The system provides tools enabling the developers to implement games and/or NFTs that are compatible with multiple gaming environments standards. The system also converts information pertaining to the NFTs from non-standardized formats to standardized formats as required by the different gaming environments. The system also provides a marketplace for developers to showcase their games and/or NFTs to potential users. The system also links new and/or existing user accounts from various games with a system account such that the users may only require use of the system account across all of the games in the marketplace.

Abstract: A system for determining a characteristic of a sample includes a light source for directing light into an input of a spectrometer. The spectrometer splits the received light into light outputs each having a different wavelength. An active wavelength selection module (AWSM) includes an optical receiving component (ORC). An actuator is coupled to the spectrometer and/or the ORC to adjust a relative position between the spectrometer and the AWSM so that light is receivable by the ORC from a selected one of the plurality of light outputs. The ORC is configured to direct the received light to a sample. A collector is positioned to collect a portion of light that passes through the sample, and to deliver the collected light to an analysis module. The analysis module is configured to determine a quantity of light transmitted through the sample and to correlate transmitted light with a characteristic of the sample.

Abstract: An inflatable flotation device including two panels extending from a body an inflatable bladder. The two panels and the body may be closed to enclose the inflatable bladder with the two panels attached to each other using magnets. When the inflatable bladder is inflated, the magnets separate from each other and the two panels open up to expose the inflatable bladder and allow further inflation.
