  • Publication number: 20250077634
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to computer-implemented systems and techniques for leveraging a virtual decentralized database to enable user identity authentication and verification of user activity and associated behaviors on open internet and public web-based and native applications. Techniques are disclosed for user identification profile onboarding using biometrics, frictionless CAPTCHA (Completely Automatic Public Turing Tests To Tell Humans And Computers Apart) processes, passive data capture of physiological and behaviors using device sensors, and cryptographic methods of storing user engagement activity as immutable data files for secure distribution on a decentralized virtual private network. Such technologies operate to establish a high confidence level for user authenticity, communication origin, engagement outcome transparency and clarity of intent for users active on social, commercial, e-commerce and information sharing platforms.

  • Patent number: 12239650
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds with high chemical stability and methods for inhibiting the pathological activity of NETs in a subject. In particular, the invention relates to compounds with high chemical stability, uses thereof and methods for inhibiting or ameliorating NET mediated ailments (such as, for example, sepsis, systemic immune response syndrome (SIRS) and ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI)). More particularly, the invention relates to methods and uses of a polyanionic sulfated cellobioside modified with a small uncharged glycosidically linked substituent at its reducing terminus, wherein the presence of the substituent results in a molecule with high chemical stability without affecting the ability of the molecule to be effective in the therapy of NET mediated ailments. For example, the present invention relates to methods and uses of ?-O-methyl cellobioside sulfate (mCBS) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., mCBS.

  • Patent number: 11890425
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a bedding panel system comprising a bottom or fitted sheet with embedded channels throughout such that at least one or more modular top panels and cushions can be attached to create physical sleep chamber spaces and thus independent “sleep zones” for multiple occupants on a single mattress. A bedding panel system can have dimensions to fit any size mattress. Fitted sheet, modular panels and cushions can include several layered components with comfort or utility features that are customizable for each sleep chamber space. Top, middle and bottom layers of fitted sheet, modular panels and cushions may be comprised of various fabrics and materials desirable for sleep comfort. Middle layers of fitted sheet and modular panels can include items such as foam or gel padding, moisture resistant barriers, biometric sensors for measuring physical health and sleep quality, and hardware for heating and cooling.

  • Patent number: 11483618
    Abstract: A method for improving a user experience through the use of at least one communications device. The method initially senses feedback of the user experience, wherein the user experience include one or more of the following three dimensional geolocation status, temporal status, experiential status, physiological status and emotional status. The method creates at least an initial contextual data set from the initially sensed feedback, and transmits media content to the user. The method subsequently senses feedback of the user experience, creating one or more subsequent contextual data set from the subsequent sensed feedback. The method measures changes in the user experience by comparing the initial contextual data set with the subsequent contextual data set.

  • Patent number: 9894415
    Abstract: A system for passive collection of media experience data to increase efficiencies in identifying and delivering desired media content. Behavioral data measured with a wearable device and camera sensors, including physical activity and physiological data, may be captured during a media content presentation and analyzed with media contextual and experiential data to measure media experience data and render media connectedness values between a subject and the presented media content. A system may operate on a network with access to a web service program and utilize mechanized learning and artificial intelligence to compare the previously analyzed media experience data with contextual data associated with media content available on searchable databases. The system may share media experience data and analyzed results with a social network group which can use the media connectedness value data intelligence to refine search methods for media content.
