Abstract: A system for validating the integrity of blockchain transactions prior to such transactions being added to the electronic blockchain using, in part, an automated, protocol-based methodology is disclosed. Use of such a system circumvents current costly consensus mechanisms for validating transactions prior to inclusion onto the underlying electronic blockchain. In a preferred embodiment, the disclosed system may be implemented within blockchain environments where the transacting parties “trust” each other where trust may be evidenced in different ways. In such an example, the system provides an automated, protocol-based validation of transactions that have been approved by the transacting parties, such that record of the validated transaction may be appended to a blockchain.

Abstract: A system for tracking and recording the chain-of-custody for assets within a supply chain that creates a non-repudiatable electronic log of each custody transfer at each transfer point from initial creation, to final transfer or disposal. In one embodiment, the system uses encryption technology to register assets that are to be transferred and whose chain of custody is to be ensured. Through use of encryption key pairs and blockchain encryption technology, an electronic document is created in an encrypted transaction log updated at each change of custody point. At each such change of custody point, the new custodians who receive the product are provided with the information generated by the originator. By way of one example, because the system tracks all inputs and outputs to the system at each change of custody point, any alteration in product quantities are immediately identified, and a chain-of-custody integrity problem is identified.

Abstract: A system for extending the utility of blockchain environments when such environments become too large or complex, is disclosed. The system systematically creates a second generation, or child blockchain that can retain machine-readable links to the parent blockchain which, in turn, can be archived and referenced, when necessary, for historical reference. Accordingly, the system serves to reduce the size of the working blockchain thereby making it easier to store the blockchain, and further serves to increase the speed of queries to interrogate the current state of the blockchain. By reducing the size of the working blockchain, the present invention seeks to extend the utility of large blockchains by segregating and archiving historical or older transactions recorded in the blockchain. The system and process further include methodologies to create links between the current blockchain and the archived sections of the blockchain to ensure the integrity of the full historical ledger.

Abstract: A gamified pharmaceutical packaging, dispensing system, and methodology is disclosed. The innovative gamified smart packaging system and methodology provides a variety of incentives to patients and relevant teams to take their medications, on time, and at the correct dosage. The system comprises monitored pharmaceutical dispensing devices that communicate with a plurality of compute devices, or smartphones. Each time the patient dispenses the medicine from the dispensing device, a signal is transmitted to the compute device. Upon receiving the signal, the compute device records the dispensing event, calculates a specific “score” for that event, and reports the patient's cumulative “score” of successfully dispensing the medicine. If a dispensing event signal is not received in a timely fashion, the system sends a prompt to the patient to take their medication. Accumulating points by properly taking the prescribed medication allows the patient and/or team to be eligible to receive various benefits.

Abstract: Systems and methods for creating and issuing specialized cryptocurrencies or tokens to be used as a medium of exchange that innovators may use to monetize their innovation, allowing them to fund development and bring their innovation to market, are disclosed. The methods for creating, issuing and selling the cryptocurrency uses a computing infrastructure, such as a blockchain, that incorporates a transaction record comprising a plurality of linked transactions utilizing cryptographic techniques that will expose any attempts to alter, or any alterations of the plurality of previously linked transactions. In addition to technology innovations, the disclosed systems and methods are equally applicable for use by artists, such as musicians or filmmakers seeking to fund development of their creative works using a token offering that requires the tokens to be used as the form of payment to leverage (including access, purchase, license, or other use of) the developed creative work.

Abstract: A non-transitory processor-readable medium includes code to cause a processor to receive a signal associated with a quantity of an asset at a first time, having a value of an underlying index at the first time. The processor executes code to re-index the underlying index at the first time to a predetermined value to produce a re-indexed value at the first time. The processor executes code to calculate a value of the asset at a second time, after the first time, based at least in part on the re-indexed value at the second time and an adjustment value. The adjustment value based on the re-indexed value at the first time, the re-indexed value at the second time, and a multiplier. The processor executes code to send, to a requesting entity, the value of the asset at the second time.

The value of the asset can be based at least in part on a quantity of the asset and a value of a multiplier fund. The value of the multiplier fund can be based at least in part on an adjustment value. The adjustment value can be based at least in part on a value of an index at a first time, the value of the index at the second time and a multiplier value associated with the multiplier fund. The first device can be configured to send, to a second device and in substantially real-time, a signal including at least one of: the value of the asset at the second time, the value of the multiplier fund and the adjustment value.
