Publication number: 20220391982Abstract: A decentralized investment fund operates according to consensus code on a shared ledger and raises capital by issuing ownership tokens on the shared ledger. The decentralized investment fund may hold digital assets in the consensus code and distribute profits to the token owners according to each owner's dividend preference. A token owner's dividend preference can include digital assets tracked by a different shared ledger, stabletoken digital assets pegged to the value of a digital asset, and cross-chain digital asset swaps. Token issuance may include a proof of accreditation requirement based on cryptographic proof on a shared ledger. The decentralized investment fund may distribute fund documents to the token holders by encrypting the document, first with a symmetric key common to all token holders, and second with an asymmetric key unique to each token holders and based on the token's holder's known public address on the shared ledger.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Matthew Hill, Gregory Bell, Shawn Owen

Patent number: 8969299Abstract: Methods for modulating serum phosphorus levels are described, wherein calcimimetic agents are administered to a subject in need thereof. In one embodiment, the compound is cinacalcet, and in other embodiments the compound is comprised of a contiguous sequence of subunits, X1—X2—X3—X4—X5—X6—X7, wherein the X1 subunit comprises a thiol-containing moiety and the distribution of charge on the X2-X7 subunits. The compound, when administered at selected times to a patient undergoing dialysis, lowers serum phosphorus levels, relative to pre-dosing levels, and achieves a sustained reduced level for a period of time after administration.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2012Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: KAI Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Inventors: Felix Karim, Gregory Bell
