  • Patent number: 11961068
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing cryptocurrency is disclosed. A plurality of users are provided with an in-marketplace wallet suitable for storing linked digital tokens that are linked in value to cryptocurrency tokens and are required to transact on a digital marketplace platform. A cryptocurrency reserve is provided for storing cryptocurrency tokens. Responsive to a user purchasing linked digital tokens from a marketplace store, linked digital tokens are transferred to the in-marketplace wallet an equivalent value of cryptocurrency tokens are transferred to the cryptocurrency reserve. Responsive to a user withdrawing a number of linked digital tokens from the in-marketplace wallet, the desired number of linked digital tokens are removed from the user's in-marketplace wallet and an equivalent value of cryptocurrency tokens are transferred from the cryptocurrency reserve to an out-of-marketplace wallet of the user for storing cryptocurrency tokens outside of the marketplace platform.

  • Patent number: 11957867
    Abstract: A syringe stabilizing apparatus has a base and a syringe support. The syringe support is vertically disposed above the base, elevating a fluid-filled portion of an infusion set vertically above the base and orienting a delivery end of the fluid-filled portion upwardly relative to a horizontal plane to take advantage of a gravitational effect on a fluid during delivery of the fluid from the fluid-filled portion to a patient. The syringe support comprises a first retainer and a selectively actuated tube clamp. The first retainer has an opening in which a rigid portion of the infusion set is received and retained therein without further user intervention. The selectively actuated tube clamp is operatively aligned with the first retainer. A flexible tube extending from the rigid portion of the infusion set extends through the selectively actuated tube clamp.
