Abstract: A mobile device and method are disclosed for trading a digital asset with a buyer device. The method provides for publishing a publicly available list of digital assets from the selling mobile device that can be accessed by potential buyer mobile devices over a network. The seller mobile device evaluates a certificate associated with the digital asset to determine what trading rights are available to the seller device and what payment obligations to interested parties are associated with the digital asset. The payment obligations allow for revenue sharing between the seller device and the interested party as specified in the certificate. The seller mobile device verifies that the payment obligations are satisfied based on the terms of the trade for the digital asset and then transmits the digital asset to the buyer device.

Abstract: A system virtually tests for diagnostic results in a subject, and includes databases and processors. The databases include test results, QC data, and diagnostic matrices. Each diagnostic matrix indicates one of the diagnostic results. The processors automatically apply: interpretation algorithms to generate result coordinates; and QC protocols to generate QC coordinates. The processors automatically: combine result coordinates with corresponding QC coordinates to generate a virtual test panel matrix; and when the virtual test panel matrix matches one or more of the diagnostic matrices, determine each aforesaid corresponding one of the diagnostic results which matches the virtual test panel matrix. Also disclosed are a device, method and computer readable medium.

Abstract: A service hosted on a device configured for providing an information resource to a first client, the information resource in web compatible format, The service is configured to receive a request by a service interface of the service for the information resource from a device application hosted by the same device, the device application acting as the first client, such that the request is communicated to the service interface on a communication data path that bypasses a network connection interface of a device infrastructure of the device.
