Patent number: 11739380Abstract: A method of analyzing a molecule is disclosed. A lipid bilayer is formed such that it divides a first reservoir characterized by a first reservoir osmolarity from a second reservoir characterized by a second reservoir osmolarity.

Patent number: 11741491Abstract: Herein disclosed are systems and methods for distributing fractional equity rewards to users of a loyalty platform based on tracked user loyalty purchases. The disclosed systems and methods may reduce time between a user loyalty purchase and distribution of a fractional equity reward determined based on the user loyalty purchase. In one example, by maintaining a pre-purchased supply of shares within an inventory account of the loyalty platform, and by distributing fractional equity rewards to user accounts on the loyalty platform from the pre-purchased supply, a reduction in reward distribution time may be enabled. Further, by maintaining the pre-purchased supply of shares of stock within the inventory based on a running average rate of fractional equity reward distribution, and predicted events, the amount of stock in the inventory may be intelligently controlled to reduce excess inventory, while reducing a probability of reward distribution delay.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Apex Fintech Solutions Inc.Inventor: David A.
