Abstract: Systems and methods for a bifurcated self-executing program that wraps a first self-executing program (e.g., a first smart contract) on a blockchain within a second self-executing program (e.g., a second smart contract), in which the second self-executing program enforces the digital signature requirement. The bifurcated self-executing program comprises a single compiled self-executing program that combines the first self-executing program and the second self-executing program.

Abstract: A computer system and a transaction machine, such as an automated teller machine (ATM), can provide for any payor to make a payment to a payee at the transaction machine. The transaction machine provides the payor a user interface to enter a passcode that uniquely identifies the payment transaction. The passcode can be generated by a provider computing system associated with the transaction machine and provided directly to the payee or through the payor prior to the transaction. The transaction machine provides the payor a user interface to enter an amount. The transaction machine receives a cash deposit and provides a deposit user interface that displays deposit information based on at least one bill of the cash deposit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of pre-surgical risk stratification of a prostate cancer subject, comprising determining a gene expression profile for phosphodiesterase 4D variant 7 (PDE4D7) in a biological sample obtained from the subject, determining gene expression profile, and determining a pre-surgical prognostic risk score for the subject based on the expression based risk score and pre-surgical clinical variables of the subject. This may allow for an improved stratification of the subject in a pre-surgical setting that may result in better primary treatment decisions. For instance, the pre-surgical prognostic risk score may allow to make better recommendation on whether to select active surveillance vs. active intervention, e.g., radical prostatectomy, for certain sub-populations of prostate cancer patients.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for screening data instances based on a target text of a target corpus. A screening device analyzes a target corpus to generate at least two term dictionaries for the target corpus. The screening apparatus, based on a frequency of a term in the target corpus, determines a term weight for the term; for each data instance, determines term scores for the data instance and the target text based on the term weights; filters the data instances based on the term scores, to generate a short list of data instances; determines term similarity scores between each data instance of the short list and target text based on the term weights; and provides a data instance determined to likely correspond to the target text and an indication of the corresponding term similarity score(s). A term is a word or an n-gram.
