  • Publication number: 20260171261
    Abstract: Multi-modal data and ontology knowledge fusion machine learning for robotic medical systems is described. One or more processors can generate, using the training dataset and one or more teacher models, classifications of segments of the medical procedures in a first segment type. The one or more processors can map, using an ontology indicating a hierarchy of different segment types of medical procedures, the classifications of the segments in the first segment type to a second segment type. The one or more processors can train, using the mapping based on the classifications generated by the one or more teacher models, one or more student models with a machine learning technique. The one or more processors can execute, using data received from a robotic medical system for a medical procedure, the one or more student models to classify a segment of the medical procedure.

  • Publication number: 20260017716
    Abstract: A method is provided for an endogenous decentralized monetary system. The method comprises a governance token with limited issuance, a currency token with unlimited issuance, a target exchange rate between the currency token and a fiat currency, a standard interest rate credited to holders of the currency token, indicators of inflation or deflation of the currency token, compensation for merchants' exchange loss, mechanism for crisis detection and self-stabilization of the currency token. New currency tokens are originated from rewards to consumers, merchants, and payment gateways, whenever consumers transactions/consumption are performed. The money creation is endogenous to the consumption of widely distributed consumers and is separated from borrowing and lending activities.

  • Publication number: 20220318796
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for creating or providing a blockchain-based digital stable token, facilitating user identification, fund transfer, and payments and trading. The systems and methods provided herein may comprise providing a stable token, a non-stable token, reward rate for payment in the stable token, interest rate for holding the stable token, wherein zero inflation and deflation of the stable token against a weighted average price, such as the PCE price index, can be achieved by constantly optimizing one or more of the i) the reward rate, ii) the interest rate, and iii) the trading between the non-stable token and stable token through a Linear-Quadratic-Gaussian controller.

  • Publication number: 20220284428
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for facilitating payment comprising the exchange of digital tokens from consumer accounts to merchant accounts in exchange for goods and/or services wherein the merchant may request the issuance of reward tokens, backed up by a central entity, to the consumer accounts. The reward tokens can then be used to facilitate payment for goods or services from the requesting merchant.
