Abstract: A protected health information (PHI) service is provided which de-identifies medical study data (e.g., digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) study data) and allows medical providers to control PHI data, and uploads the de-identified data to a remote service system. The PHI service, or an associated service, hosted within an organization performing scans, maintains a database of personally identifiable information, and enables the user to access PHI without having to establish a connection to a virtual private network or WiFi network of the medical service provider. The system also increases the speed, efficiency and flexibility of the technology of medical imaging and analysis over computer networks by correlating unique identifiers in the PHI Service in order to accept DICOM study data over time, and track and retrieve what PHI data has changed regardless of the chronological order in which it was received.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes determining, by an auxiliary power controller, a first selection of one or more power input sources from a plurality of power input sources. The method also includes determining, by the auxiliary power controller, a first selection of one or more power consuming devices from a plurality of power consuming devices. The method further includes managing, by the auxiliary power controller, transfer of auxiliary power from the first selection of the one or more power input sources to the first selection of the one or more power consuming devices.

Abstract: The technology disclosed allows for leveraging decentralized credentials to achieve bidirectional authentication between two actors leveraging a messaging platform/system, such as email or another text-based system, verifiable credentials (VCs), and secure web endpoints. It empowers one party (“Sender”) to send a message enclosed with a Verifiable Presentation which allows another party (“Recipient”) to authenticate the message's provenance and the identity of the sender. Moreover, the message contains a link to a secure web endpoint, where the recipient can submit a response signed by their own Verifiable Presentation, allowing the Sender to authenticate the identity of the Recipient. In this way, both participants are able to authenticate each other's identities with an additional factor of authentication, with neither participant being required to share a single service.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for treating pulmonary tissues via delivery of energy, generally characterized by high voltage pulses, to target tissue using a pulmonary tissue modification system (e.g., an energy delivery catheter system). Example pulmonary tissues include, without cells), lamina propria, submucosa, submucosal glands, basement membrane, smooth muscle, cartilage, nerves, pathogens resident near or within the tissue, or a combination of any of these. The system may be used to treat a variety of pulmonary diseases or disorders such as or associated with COPD (e.g., chronic bronchitis, emphysema), asthma, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), acute bronchitis and/or other pulmonary diseases or disorders.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides desensitized fertilizer compositions that are resistant to detonation. The desensitized fertilizer compositions of the present disclosure are formed, under heat, from a reaction product of a base fertilizer material, such as ammonium nitrate, and a phosphate-based additive, such as ammonium polyphosphate. The resulting compositions include monoammonium phosphate (MAP), diammonium phosphate (DAP), and polyphosphate crystals distributed throughout the crystalline fertilizer material. The presence of the distributed MAP and DAP crystals is believed to stabilize the base fertilizer material and reduce or eliminate the detonation potential of the fertilizer material.

Abstract: Dynamic Cipher Key Management (DCKM) of the present invention enables the protection of sensitive electronic data by assigning symmetric or asymmetric cipher keys using a process that delivers the cipher key to a network endpoint device by means of a key installation, delivery, and storage methodology. DCKM may negate the need to physically touch the network device under protection. Further, DCKM's process is based on a set of operating principles that maintains the highest levels of assurance that the cipher key pairs are issued with only devices that have the right and authorization to create a secure communication path. The DCKM process realizes the same level of security confidence that is only achieved today with conventional token based key management services with respect to the paired devices linked via a cipher key public and private relationship.

Abstract: The disclosed technology teaches a method for managing user access to one of a set of decentralized networked nodes that share a private permissioned blockchain data structure or a decentralized personal ledger, to which access has been limited to users authorized by one of the set of decentralized networked nodes.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for authenticating requestors and granting access to a permissioned blockchain network shared among enterprise entities. A decentralized registry of credentialled users, in which credentialled users guard their own access information by keeping a private key of a public-private keypair enables systems to avoid keeping information of a large number of users in large, vulnerable containers. A further method removes authenticated users seeking to be forgotten from the registry of users and deletes any personally identifiable information of the withdrawing users.

Abstract: A method includes determining a trajectory of an object based on a mass of the object, and determining a motion of a hand based on the mass of the object and the trajectory of the object. The method can further include generating an animation of the hand interacting with the object based on the trajectory of the object and the motion of the hand.

Abstract: A method is for providing a uniform resource locator. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving a medical data record via an interface, the medical data record being related to a patient; determining the uniform resource locater related to the medical data record via a computation unit, the uniform resource locator including an authorization token based on the medical data record, the medical data record being accessible by following the uniform resource locator; and providing the uniform resource locator with the interface to the patient. By providing a uniform resource locator of an embodiment including an authorization token, access to the medical data record can be granted fast and efficient, e.g. by a patient forwarding the uniform resource locator to another entity (e.g. a physician), while at the same time non-authorized entities cannot access the medical data record due to their lack of the suitable authorization token.
