Abstract: A peer system of subjects with health-related issues is formed based on an association of subjects and a particular type of electronic device or devices which provides information related to a specific health-related issue or issues obtained from particular subjects. By means of such associations, subjects can transmit to and receive messages from other subjects associated with the same type of electronic device. One way to associate subjects with health-related issues is through an association of a subject with a type or types of sensors. For example, each monitoring device may be associated with a subject, and the type or types of sensor or sensors may be associated with the subject and/or monitoring device. Devices, systems, methods and computer program products may be provided leveraging this association for various applications, e.g.

Abstract: A blockchain tokenization involving minting tokens on one blockchain that are backed by cryptoassets on a different blockchain. A node processor stakes an amount of cryptoassets on a value blockchain by transferring the amount of cryptoassets from a staker address on the value blockchain to an address of a smart contract on the value blockchain. The node processor, responsive to the staking, mints an amount of utility tokens on the utility blockchain. The amount of minted utility tokens are stored on the utility blockchain mapped to the staker address. The amount of minted utility tokens are backed by the amount of staked cryptoassets on the value blockchain at a fixed conversion rate between the amount of cryptoassets staked on the value blockchain and the amount of minted utility tokens on the utility blockchain.

Abstract: The invention disclosed here is a display system for managing power and security for a plurality of hand-held electronic devices sold to consumers in a retail location. The display includes features that allow power to be supplied to individual devices and security sensors without continuous hard wiring or multi-conductor retractor cables. The display also allows for individual security alarms to be triggered when a theft occurs. Security alarm conditions are preferably triggered via wireless signals.

Abstract: Systems and methods for recovering access to a digital smart contract wallet stored on a blockchain. A new owner public-private key pair is created to replace a current owner public-private key pair for accessing the digital smart contract wallet. The digital smart contract wallet on the blockchain is updated to require a transaction signed by a new owner private key of the new owner public-private key pair for accessing the digital smart contract wallet. The digital smart contract wallet is updated using a recovery transaction signed by a recovery owner private key and a recovery controller private key to update the digital smart contract wallet on a blockchain to require signing transactions with the new owner private key. The recovery owner private key is part of a key pair with the recovery owner public key, and the recovery controller private key is part of a key pair with the recovery controller public key.
