  • Patent number: 11990215
    Abstract: A system for maintaining accurate health data and for providing rewards to data market participants. A marketplace platform based on Blockchain technology leverages smart contracts to provide rewards to sellers of data assets that provide corrections or updates to medical data, such as provider demographics. A URL API is provided to a buyer of the data with an encrypted password that is used to access the data from the URL API.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 19, 2020
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2024
    Assignee: Humana Inc.
    Inventors: Kyle Culver, Rohit Wason, Nicholas Hill, Zachary A. Stout, Matthew A. Plappert, Chulmin Lee, Benjamin Singer, Norman Leach, Emily Braun

  • Patent number: 11577765
    Abstract: A wheelbarrow assembly is disclosed with a wheelbarrow tray, a wheel to connect to the tray for rotation relative to the tray, for transportation of the tray upon an underlying support surface and a pair of handle assemblies. Each handle assembly is provided with a first unitarily formed handle portion with a distal end, an intermediate region, and a proximal end. The proximal end has a cross-section that is reduced relative to a cross-section of the intermediate region. The second handle portion is provided with a distal end and a proximal end; the proximal end having a cross-section that is sized to receive the first handle distal end cross-section therein to assemble the second handle portion to the first handle portion.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9500184
    Abstract: An apparatus for converting solar energy may have a heat-capturing element that generates thermal energy when exposed to solar radiation and a canopy arranged about the heat-capturing element. The canopy may define a chamber with an intake and an output, and may be configured for substantially trapping air particles in proximity to the heat-capturing element throughout a pathway from the intake to the output. A portion of the chamber arranged near the output may have a decreased cross section. The apparatus may also include a thermal transfer system configured for creating a positive thermal feedback between a portion of the heat-capturing element near the output and a portion of the heat-capturing element near the intake, and at least one horizontal turbine arranged at the output.
