Abstract: A system and method that relies upon smart contracts to facilitate cryptocurrency trades through a plurality of different exchanges. The system and method preferably operate on the blockchain.

Abstract: Methods and systems for the use of multi-party computation (“MPC”) key systems that involve the use of multiple parties, each of which hold respective private data that may be used to evaluate a computation without ever revealing any of the private data held by each party to perform blockchain operations. Using the MPC key systems, the methods and systems generate secure, encrypted communications across distributed computer networks for authorizing use of cryptography-based digital repositories in order to perform blockchain operations in decentralized applications.

Abstract: A virtualized coordinate system is determined that describes an alternate monitor space. The virtualized coordinate system is provided to an application providing content to be displayed and the application provides virtualized rendering information including coordinates in the virtualized coordinate system. The virtualized rendering information is scaled for display on the monitor.

Abstract: An enhanced graphics pipeline is provided that enables common core hardware to perform as different components of the graphics pipeline, programmability of primitives including lines and triangles by a component in the pipeline, and a stream output before or simultaneously with the rendering a graphical display with the data in the pipeline. The programmer does not have to optimize the code, as the common core will balance the load of functions necessary and dynamically allocate those instructions on the common core hardware. The programmer may program primitives using algorithms to simplify all vertex calculations by substituting with topology made with lines and triangles. The programmer takes the calculated output data and can read it before or while it is being rendered. Thus, a programmer has greater flexibility in programming.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods directed to the use of SLITRK1 (slit and trk like 1) mutations to identify, diagnose, and treat disorders in the obsessive-compulsive disorder spectrum. Specifically, the present invention provides methods of identifying a subject having an increased risk of developing a disorder in the OCD spectrum and/or diagnosing a disorder in the OCD spectrum in a subject by detecting in the subject a mutation in the SLITRK1 gene.

Abstract: A new apparatus for facilitating connections between fiber optic cables. A fiber optic cable assembly having a retainer ring, a spring, and clip attaches a fiber optic cable to an ITA or receiver connector housing. An alignment sleeve assembly having an alignment sleeve housing, and alignment sleeve, and a clip attaches between the faces of a receiver module and an ITA module when they are mated. The receiver or ITA module includes a module support bracket and spring assembly for separating the travel and force required for mating the fiber optic cables from the force and travel required for mating a receiver and ITA.

Abstract: A locking mechanism for securing such enclosures as vending machines is disclosed. A hasp is mounted on the interior of the enclosure and a mounting bracket having a flange and a lock hole is disposed on the exterior of the enclosure. To securely lock the enclosure, a hasp key is passed through an opening in the enclosure proximate the mounting bracket. One end of the hasp key includes an engagement mechanism that engages a hasp key aperture through the hasp. On the other end of the hasp key is a lock hole which is generally aligned with the lock hole on the exterior of the enclosure when the hasp key is engaged. A lock may then be disposed through the lock holes, limiting a would-be intruder's options to gain access to the inside of the enclosure. A sliding T-handle lock cover is also described. The sliding T-handle lock cover includes a flange and slides over a T-handle lock and aligns with a flange of a cover plate.
