Abstract: An issuing authority (IA) may validate the identity of a user and issue a digital license to the user. IA may generate IA public-private key pair, and provide IA public key to the certification authority (CA). IA may sign the digital license with IA private key, and provision the signed digital license on the user device. IA may request CA to certify the digital license. CA may use IA public key to validate the digital license, and sign IA public key with CA private key, thereby generating a digital certificate associated with the issuing authority that is linked to the digital license. A relying party may use CA public key to validate the digital license. The relying party can retrieve the information from the digital license and trust that the retrieved information is legitimate.

Abstract: A computing device may determine that a condition exists with respect to a user of an application.

Abstract: There is a need for more effective and efficient predictive data analysis solutions for processing genetic sequencing data. This need can be addressed by, for example, techniques for performing predictive data analysis based on genetic sequences that utilize at least one of cross-variant polygenic risk modeling using genetic risk profiles, cross-variant polygenic risk modeling using functional genetic risk profiles, per-condition polygenic clustering operations, cross-condition polygenic predictive inferences, and cross-condition polygenic diagnoses.

Abstract: A transaction is facilitated at a business's touchpoint by transmitting from a wireless device (e.g., a patron's cell phone) to a transaction server operated by a transaction-funding business: patron-identifying information for the patron and a touchpoint ID associated with the touchpoint read using the wireless device. The transaction server authorizes the transaction, transmits that authorization to the cell phone and/or the touchpoint business, and the touchpoint business provides goods/services to the patron. In some implementations, the transaction-funding business transfers outgoing funds for the transaction to the touchpoint business and receives incoming funds for the transaction from the patron. In a casino, a patron can use his/her cell phone to purchase gaming credit at a gaming table. The transaction-funding business funds the purchase for the patron without any funds ever residing on or passing through the patron's cell phone.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques of overlaying a virtual object on a physical object in augmented reality (AR). A computing device may receive one or more images of the physical object, perform analysis on the images (such as image segmentation) to generate a digital outline, and determine a position and a scale of the physical object based at least in part on the digital outline. The computing device may configure (e.g., rotate, scale) a 3D model of the physical object to match the determined position and scale of the physical object. The computing device may place or overlay a 3D virtual object on the physical object in AR based on a predefined location relation between the 3D virtual object and the 3D model of the physical object, and further, generate a composite view of the placement or overlay.

Abstract: A node in a plurality of nodes can perform an identity set generation process. The node can then determine a leader node. The node may diffuse an identity set from each node of the plurality of nodes to the plurality of nodes. The node can then determine a majority set including identities occurring in at least one half of the identify sets, wherein the leader node diffuses the majority set of the leader node to the plurality of nodes. The node can verify the majority set of the leader node. The node may then update the identity set based on the majority set of the leader node.

Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for managing the status of machine-learning models using distributed ledgers. A registration request for a machine-learning model can be received.

A registration identifier can then be created based at least in part on the source code hash and the runtime hash. Subsequently, an entry in the distributed ledger can be created for the machine-learning model. The entry can include the registration identifier, the model name, the model version, the network address, the source code hash, and the runtime hash.

The user data may continue to be monitored to identify transactions associated with multiple parties and occurring during a time and/or at a location of the event. At a conclusion of the event, the transactions may be aggregated and an optimal payment scheme may be determined for settlement of the transactions between the parties. In accordance with the determined payment scheme, delegation of portions of the aggregated transactions may be initiated for settlement amongst the parties.
