Abstract: A system for interfacing predetermined services to a user at a fixed location includes a processing platform running an operating system. The system further includes a data store for storing configuration information for enabling the operating system to interface with available physical system resources through the physical system resource interface associated therewith. A communication resource for interfacing with the operating system allows communication of the operating system with a central office for downloading configuration information to selectively enable ones of the available physical system resources to interface with the operating system through associated ones of the physical system resource interfaces in accordance with the configuration information and the predetermined service selected by a user. A plurality of configurations is stored in the data store, and each is associated with a predetermined service and one or more of the available physical system resources.

Abstract: A distributed transaction system for enabling users to conduct transactions using services from third party service providers includes a central processing center with one or more communications interfaces to facilitate transactions initiated by users at a plurality of kiosks wherein each of the kiosks includes a user interface enabling a user to access a user selected service and a data store for storing configurations associated with services provided by the third party service providers, whereby a user interfaces with one or more of physical system resources of the kiosk to open a user identity session such that the kiosk is operative to facilitate at least one first user action with the physical resources to initiate a financial transaction and the central processing center is operative to execute at least a second action to facilitate the transaction and to communicate with a financial institution.

Abstract: Systems and methods for filling cassettes consistent with sets of seeds are provided. One example computer-implemented method includes, in response to a request for a schedule to fill a plurality of the cassettes, accessing data associated with the cassettes including a seed set specific to each of the cassettes and generating a schedule to fill the plurality of cassettes with seeds, consistent with the seed sets specific to the plurality of cassettes, via a gantry, multiple counting stations, and a filling station, based on a throughput of the gantry, the multiple counting stations, and the filling station. The method then includes executing the schedule at the gantry, the multiple counting stations, and the filling station to fill at least a portion of the plurality of cassettes with the appropriate sets of seeds consistent with the schedule.

Abstract: The present disclosure may provide methods, systems, and computer-readable instructions for enabling the following operations: generating a secret key based on, at least in part, a target party's public key; encrypting a payload with the secret key, the payload comprising an auth token with a limited time to live (TTL); broadcasting, to a public blockchain, a message comprising the encrypted payload; receiving a request to establish a channel of communication outside of the public blockchain; receiving, with the request, the auth token within the TTL; validating the auth token within the TTL; establishing the channel of communication upon a validation of the auth token; engaging in a data-exchange over the channel of communication; verifying matching properties of the exchanged data with at least one internal system of record; and mapping an internal identifier within the at least one system of record to a decentralized identifier associated with the target party.

Abstract: A multimedia system product for use in physical fitness training including a method and system for producing customized physical fitness programs through an internet-based environment. The user is allowed to select the individual components of the exercise video and manipulate motion capture data by using a graphics engine to customize the “look and feel” of the customized workout through available training avatars. The individual components eligible for inclusion are included in a database containing a plurality of audio and visual media files of personal trainers performing exemplar exercises. The compiled instructional video is then available for download and installation on a video-enabled personal media player.
