Abstract: Beta-lactam compounds to detect carbapenemases or microbial carbapenem resistance are disclosed. The compounds contain a chemical probe. Upon hydrolysis by carbapenemases, the compounds undergo intramolecular rearrangement and release the chemical probe. Detection of the released chemical probe indicates the presence of carbapenemases and the presence of microbial carbapenem resistance.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a system to facilitate transaction processing associated with an industrial asset supply chain having a first entity and a second entity. A first entity computer processor may retrieve, from a first entity database, information associated with pre-delivery data about the industrial asset. The first entity computer processor may then record pre-delivery data about the industrial asset via a secure, distributed transaction ledger. A second entity computer processor may retrieve, from a second entity database, information associated with a post-delivery event involving the industrial asset. The second entity computer processor may then record post-delivery event data about the industrial asset via a secure, distributed transaction ledger. The post-delivery event data might indicate, for example, that the industrial asset has been delivered, has been installed, is working properly, has been used, etc.

Abstract: An information processing method is provided for a first terminal. The method includes displaying, by the first terminal, first information and an interactive prompt corresponding to the first information; and detecting, by the first terminal, an interactive operation formed based on the interactive prompt to generate operation information of the interactive operation. The method also includes sending, by the first terminal, the generated operation information to a server; receiving response information sent by the server; displaying, by the first terminal, an interaction status based on the response information; receiving, by the first terminal, colleting-information for collecting at least one to-be-issued benefit sent by the server; and displaying, by the first terminal, the collecting-information. The collecting-information is sent when the server detects that the interaction status meets a preset interaction-completion condition.

Abstract: According to some embodiments, a system may facilitate collaborative transaction processing associated with a supply chain having a first entity and a second entity. In particular, a first entity database may store electronic records including information associated with at least a portion of the supply chain, and a first entity communication port may exchange information via a distributed computer system. A first entity computer processor may retrieve from the first entity database the information associated with the at least a portion of the supply chain. A subset of information about the supply chain may be identified by the first entity computer processor as being of interest to the second entity. The identified subset of information about the supply chain may then be recorded via a secure, distributed transaction ledger.
