Abstract: Systems and methods for encrypting data are described herein. For example, the system may receive, from an application associated with a provider system, a request for a delivery token. The request may include an address and an identifier of a distribution system. The system may determine a distributor key for decrypting delivery tokens for the distribution system. The system may also identify an encryption key for encrypts delivery tokens, where the encryption key corresponds to the distributor key. The system may generate the delivery token, including the address, using the encryption key. The system may then transmit the delivery token to the application associated with the provider system.

The engine system also includes an intermittent prechamber having a lower prechamber jaw provided on the piston head and an upper prechamber jaw provided through the cylinder head, wherein a prechamber volume is variable and directly related to a position of the piston head within the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A dual-purpose Oral Appliances having smart sensors and control module for treating sleep apnea and simultaneously straightening the teeth or reducing the bruxism or reducing the TMJ disorder are disclosed. The appliance contains upper and or lower teeth trays with or without air passageway. The appliance can be with or without external housing. The episodes of sleep apnea are reducing by one or combination of several mechanisms such as mandibular advancement (MAD), air stimulation by control of inhaled air flow bypassing the tongue and or micro-holes in air passageways, neuro/muscle electric stimulation of tongue and sleep position training. The sensors located inside or outside of the mouth, measure physiological and or biological and or chemical aspects of the patients. The sensors are connected to control module system consists of battery, microprocessor, and data transmission technologies.

Abstract: Direct 3D-printed orthodontic aligners with torque, rotation, and full-control anchors divots are provided. An example process generates multiple virtual models of orthodontic treatment based on progressive moduli of elasticity (MOE) of different materials that will be used to 3D-print a progressive set of 3D-printed aligners. A progression of 3D-printed aligners applies modeled forces to the divot anchors positioned by the models and to the teeth, in treatment stages that are also computed by the models. One class of the example 3D-printed aligners may have flat occlusal biting surfaces, enabling simultaneous treatment of bite correction, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), lower jaw growth, and sleep apnea, along with orthodontic movement of teeth. An example 3D-printed aligner has a micro blower for creating air pressure to treat apnea. The aligner may have a microprocessor, sensors, data handling, and data transmission, for controlling actions of the 3D-printed aligner.

Abstract: A micro, single piece, tubeless, cordless, directly inserted oral, nasal or hybrid sleep apnea treatment/anti-snoring device having controlled positive air-flow using a vibrationally isolated micro-blower to maintain an individual's upper airway unobstructed (pharynx area) with or without lower jaw, mandibular advancement is disclosed.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing a textual narrative are provided. The method includes: receiving, from a user, an input that includes a textual narrative; comparing the textual narrative to various types of quality criteria, including syntactical criteria, semantic criteria, and pragmatic criteria; determining, based on the comparison, whether the textual narrative satisfies the quality criteria; and providing an output that indicates a result of the determination. The textual narrative may be a JIRA user story or a JIRA epic. The comparison may be performed by using one or more Natural Language Processing techniques.

Abstract: Disclosed is an implantable device with enhanced drug delivery area, wherein a pre-crimped stent assembly mounted on a balloon further comprises a homogenous coating of drug and associated polymeric matrix resulting in the formation of a circumferential cylindrical film formation, upon expansion of the balloon. The cylindrical film formation by the drug delivery medical devices enables maximum coverage area of the vascular lumen area, thereby preventing any untreated area within a lumen.

Abstract: The present application relates to a vessel support beam comprising two or more beam elements wherein each beam element comprises a first and second opposing long side connected by a top side, a lower side and two opposing end sides, said beam elements are arranged parallelly with at least one long side of one beam element facing a long side of another beam element, thereby forming a reactor support beam having a first and second opposing long side surface, a top surface and a lower surface.

Abstract: Direct 3D-printed orthodontic aligners with torque, rotation, and full-control anchors are provided. In an implementation, an orthodontic system uses 3D-printed aligners to perform orthodontic treatment of teeth. Manufacturing the aligners by 3D-printing or additive manufacturing processes imparts novel geometries to the aligners for applying torque, rotation, and full 3D control forces to the teeth in novel ways. The 3D-printed aligners may contain multiple different plastic or metal materials with different orthodontic properties. In an implementation, divot anchors can be strategically applied to teeth to work in conjunction with a 3D-printed aligner fitted over the divot anchors and teeth. The divot anchors may include a depression, channel, groove, or notch providing an attachment point for the aligner to apply a force to the tooth through the divot anchor, such as a torque, rotational force, leverage, push, pull, or 3D control force.
