Abstract: In some variants systems and methods are disclosed that allow a smart contract or other device-executable code sequence to be triggered as an automatic and conditional response to a change of a data element that is used by the code sequence. By using user-identified values as state variables that trigger execution in a blockchain or similar controlled environment, for example, cascading processes can be incrementally and reversibly automated without any necessity for coordination and without compromising security.

Abstract: A device for treating oral ulcers or sores comprises a light source for illuminating a sore or ulcer to be treated; a laser diode for directing laser energy at the sore or ulcer; a regulated power supply for powering the light source and the laser diode at selected power levels; a first switch operable to selectively deliver power from the regulated power supply to the light source; a second switch operable to selectively deliver power from the regulated power supply to the laser diode when the switch is operated by a user to treat the located ulcer or sore; a control device configured to operate the laser diode for a selected time period each time the switch is operated and to then subsequently turn the laser diode off until the switch is operated again; and a portable, handheld housing for housing the laser diode, regulated power supply, switch, and control device.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for improving the transmission and storage of documents utilizing markup languages. The system converts the markup language tags to tokens and combines the tokens with the content information to create a token stream. The token stream is further compressed and stored on a device or transmitted over a communications network. The compressed token stream may then be decompressed and de-tokenized to return the markup language document to its original content form. The method may be performed on a computing device or over the transmission network.
