Abstract: The present disclosure provides a distributed computer system, which includes a plurality of computing devices. Each computing device includes a memory, a portion of a Blockchain, a transceiver, and a processor. The memory stores a plurality of data transaction requests. Each data transaction request corresponds to a block in the Blockchain and includes a cryptographic hash of a previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. The transceiver receives a data transaction request from a subset of the plurality of computing devices. The processor determines whether the received data transaction request corresponds to at least one block in the portion of the Blockchain. The processor updates an internal record of the Blockchain, based on determining that the data transaction request corresponds to at least one block in the portion of the Blockchain. The processor then verifies the updated internal record of the Blockchain with a computing device in the subset.

Abstract: A remote distress monitor includes a steerable microphone array, a memory, and a control system. The steerable microphone array is configured to detect audio data and generate sound data. The memory stores machine-readable instructions. The control system includes one or more processors configured to execute the machine-readable instructions. The generated sound data from the steerable microphone array is analyzed. Based at least in part on the analysis, a token associated with the audio data detected by the steerable microphone array is generated. The audio data is representative of one or more sounds associated with a distress event. The generated token is transmitted, via a communications network, to an electronic device to cause a distress response action to occur. The distress response action is associated with the distress event.

Abstract: A system for signaling coordinated workers in a common goal through intelligent icons transferred across networks to computer screens. The system can comprise one or more electronic data processors. The system can also include a module configured to execute on the more or more electronic data processors, where the module can be configured to display a plurality of intelligent icons, each containing authorizing information that is retained in a file associated with a authorizing entity on a computer screen. The intelligent icons can be potentially loaned to authorized individuals on a list and used to authenticate users of the system with biometric, image, machine readable codes stored surreptitiously within the intelligent icon. Also, the intelligent icon can be used for friend-foe identification in battlefield and homeland security/border control scenarios.

Abstract: A computer system for the creation of subliminal image or watermarks where the apparent video is an “obvious” image and a subliminal or “clandestine” image or watermark is hidden within the data structure. The concept is envisioned for the cloaking of images, sound, video or like digitized non-coded information. The cloaked files may be intended for storage, transmission, or clandestine placement in a public file system. The watermark may be used for the subliminal marking of a source of a file, its creation, or for tagging copyrighted information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for management of data files using a plurality of interconnected operations associated with a plurality of roles are provided. A method involves receiving, from a user terminal, a request to access a portion of the plurality of interconnected operations corresponding to one of the plurality of roles, obtaining a human representation of the portion, and transmitting the human representation to the user terminal for display thereon. The human representation (i.e., an Episodic Social Network representation) is a spatial arrangement one or more affinity groups blocks interconnected via one or more conditional situation blocks, where each of the affinity groups represents a non-exclusive data file classification associated with a set of temporal and non-temporal characteristics and where each of the conditional situation blocks defines a set of conditions for transferring the data file from one of the affinity groups to another of the affinity groups.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for securely transmitting electronic healthcare records between computing devices in communication. A request is received to access a database of electronic health records, checking for an authorization requirement, and generating a token associated with the authorization requirement and the received request. The token corresponds to a block in a Blockchain. The block includes a cryptographic hash of a previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data related to the received request, and the at least one authorization requirement. The token can be sent to allow access to at least one electronic health record in the database of electronic health records.

Abstract: An extensible system for intercommunication between smartphones and intelligent digital cameras that permits acquisition, identification, authentication and communication outside the cellular and networked interfaces. This concept provides a means for smartphones to intercommunicate securely and directly without network, or radio based wireless connection and to provide private visual and motion-image data communication at reasonable rates between parties outside of the cellular network. It also permits intercommunication and functional extension through intermediary devices to create interactive conversations within groups.

Abstract: A method of diagnosis. The method can include the steps of sampling the breathing of a patient and from the sampling, obtaining a waveform corresponding to a pattern of the breathing of the patient in which the waveform is a repetitive waveform that is indicative of a carbon dioxide concentration in air expired by the patient. The method can also include the steps of processing the waveform to obtain a set of data that reflects the carbon dioxide concentration in the expired air and based on the processing of the waveform, detecting a potential adverse respiratory event in the patient.
