  • Patent number: 12298962
    Abstract: Various embodiments can implement a multi-system or node architecture that can be deployed on-demand and augment existing systems with pre-configured nodes that can be installed within existing architecture. The multi-node architecture is flexible for integration into many systems and can also stand alone to provide data validation and assurance. Various embodiments of the multi-node architecture enable private and public distributed ledgers (e.g., blockchains) that enhance security, enhance confidentiality, and eliminate the need to trust the provider/hosts of the data validation information and/or the hosts of the confidential information.

  • Publication number: 20210267790
    Abstract: An oral dental appliance is provided that adjusts the position of a user's lower jaw relative to the upper jaw to avoid one cause of sleep apnea. The appliance includes an upper tray and a lower tray, each tray substantially identically configured and each tray defining a generally U-shaped channel to receive a bite guard molded to match the respective upper and lower dental arch of a user. The appliance further includes an adjustable clip assembly that is removably engageable to the upper and lower trays. The clip assembly is configured to be fixed in an adjustable forward (vestibular)-rearward (lingual) position relative to each other prior to engagement with the upper tray and the lower tray. The clip assembly is engageable to the trays so that the trays cannot move relative to the clips or relative to each other in the forward-rearward direction.
