Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for providing users with an option for selecting a cryoptocurrency payment method are described. A merchant payment apparatus may be used to collect payments using cryptocurrency. The merchant payment apparatus may then present the user with multiple payment options, including cryptocurrency payment options and non- cryptocurrency payment options. If a cryptocurrency payment option is selected, merchant payment apparatus may generate and display a machine readable label. A customer may scan the machine readable label and transmit a notification to a payment server. The payment server may then perform a cryptocurrency transaction, and may provide an indication to the merchant payment apparatus that the transaction is valid (i.e., that the cryptocurrency transaction has been completed or that funds are available for the completion of the transaction). After the merchant payment apparatus receives verification from the payment server, the sale may be completed.

Abstract: This invention relates to a chassis system for a vehicle comprising a frame configured to support a body of the vehicle. The frame comprises a pair of outer longitudinal members defining outer lateral sides of the chassis system. One or more suspension systems are connected between each of a plurality of wheel mounts and the frame, the wheel mounts configured such that the chassis system is supported on at least one pair of wheels. The outer longitudinal members are positioned on the outside of and adjacent to the wheels when the frame is in a ride position. The suspension systems are configured to selectively vary the height of the frame between the ride position and a raised position in which the outer longitudinal members are at a height above the top of the wheels.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for multipurpose and multiformat instant messaging are described. A sender of an instant message can determine the format for sending a message (e.g., in text, audio or video format), and the receiver of the instant message can determine the format for receiving the instant message in either text, audio or video format. Sentiment information, location information, weather information and chatterbot messages may also be displayed to the receiver. Conversion of an instant text message to an audio or video message may include the insertion of a token into the audio or video message, and conversion of an audio or video message to an text instant message includes validating a token extracted from the audio or video message.

Abstract: The present invention is a system that creates indices based on the “buy, sell and hold” research recommendations of research firms, tracks the performance of those indices, and allows clients to search for top performing indices according to a variety of search parameters and filters through a proprietary text navigation searching mechanism. Once the indices are created it can be offered to investors for a fee. The fee compensates the research firm and is defined by a fee structure that varies based on the method of compensation selected.
