Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for implementing blockchains by allowing a participant node of a blockchain system to modify data in a local distributed ledger and asynchronously communicate the modification to other participant nodes of the blockchain system.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for validating a block for a blockchain in an asynchronous blockchain environment. A participant node receives an instruction to generate a block for the blockchain, identifies transactions to be processed, processes the identified transactions asynchronously, creates a block based on the processed transactions, and validates the block.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for replicating a transaction from one participant node to another participant node in an asynchronous blockchain environment. A participant node receives the replicated transaction from another participant node that executed a transaction. The participant node asynchronously processes the replicated transaction and updates the local instance of the distributed ledger based on the replicated transaction.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for processing a transaction for a distributed ledger that involves data managed by different participant nodes. The system identifies a first portion of the transaction to be performed by locally and a second portion to be performed by another participant node. The participant node executes the local portion of the transaction and communicates the second portion not the other participant node for execution.

Abstract: A device is disclosed. The device contains a first light source configured to excite fluorescence emission of a first contaminant on a surface, and a first optical sensor configured to capture one or more images of the fluorescence emission of the first contaminant.

Abstract: The invention encompasses compounds having formula I-V and the compositions and methods using these compounds in the treatment of conditions in which modulation of the JAK pathway or inhibition of JAK kinases, particularly JAK3, may be therapeutically useful.

Abstract: An integrated tele-health networking, interaction, and care-matching tool for tele-health services may include a tele-health operations server in communication with patient, provider, matching, and interaction databases. A management engine running on the server may execute a database management module, a rule module, and a GUI module configured to display a GUI having a plurality of preconfigured screens at a plurality of user terminals. In operation, the management engine implements a referral-based care network that connects a patient with healthcare providers, non-medical-professional caregivers, advocates, and friends or family via the user terminals.

Abstract: Composite materials including a thin-film layer of lateral p-n junctions can be employed in circuits or various components of electrical devices. A composite material comprises a thin-film layer including p-type regions alternating with n-type regions along a face of the thin-film layer, the p-type regions comprising electrically conductive particles dispersed in a first organic carrier and the n-type regions comprising electrically conductive particles dispersed in a second organic carrier, wherein p-n junctions are established at interfaces between the p-type and n-type regions.

Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to launching radio spectrum resources in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include, confirming, by site launching equipment, installation of components of a base station, resulting in a confirmed installation. The method can further comprise, based on the confirmed installation, facilitating, by the site launching equipment, integrating the base station into a communications network. Further, in response to the integrating, launching, by the site launching equipment, operation of the base station for a testing of performance of the base station, the testing resulting in a tested base station. The method can further comprise activating, by the site launching equipment, the tested base station for use by authorized user equipment via the communications network.
