Abstract: A control circuit receives personally identifiable information that corresponds to a particular entity. The control circuit uses that personally identifiable information to access a block chain ledger that serves as an identity block chain ledger. The control circuit then receives a synthetic identifier from the block chain ledger. This synthetic identifier correlates to the aforementioned personally identifiable information and also correlates to other data that corresponds to the particular entity and which other data is stored in a data storage element other than the block chain ledger.

Abstract: A coordinating network element manages a protocol that prohibits the coordinating network element from substantively accessing data content that, at least in part, underlies received protocol-compliant requests. By one approach, these teachings provide for preventing substantive access to data information that is included within the protocol-compliant request in tokenized form, wherein the tokens are generated using secrets, at least one of which is unavailable to the coordinating network element.

Abstract: The present invention generates multiple models of water events based on various modeling processes input data. It can generate analytics of water events and integrating water models for displays. The present invention further produces derivatives, tools, and informational services for flood risk assessment; flood determination; and insurance rating. The present invention integrates and maintains all relevant inputs in one system for modeling water events at a given location in a timely fashion. The input datasets include water events' extent, flooded areas, floodplain, inundated areas and measurement of water condition. The datasets may include other data, such as, terrain elevation data, land use land cover data, soil conductivity, water gauge measurements and hydrologic regression equations for calculating flows.

Abstract: The present invention relates to water events modeling including flood, the number one natural disaster in the world. Specifically, the present invention generates models of water events consist of one or multiple outputs from various modeling processes. It also generates analytics of water events, and integrating the water models for machine and human-eyes consumption. Further, the present invention produces derivatives, tools, and informational services for various purposes, such as, flood risk assessment; flood determination; and insurance rating. The present invention is the process and systems of producing one or multiple models of water events and derivatives, based on various inputs. For modeling water events at a given location and in a timely fashion, the present invention prepares, aggregates, integrates, and maintains all relevant inputs in one system.

Abstract: A photovoltaic cell module configured to convert energy of light into electric energy is provided. The photovoltaic cell module includes photovoltaic cells and at least one bus element. A first electrode of one of the photovoltaic cells is electrically connected to another of the photovoltaic cells through the bus element. Each photovoltaic cell includes a first-type semiconductor layer, a second-type semiconductor layer, and a first electrode. The second-type semiconductor layer has an interface in contact with the first-type semiconductor layer. The first-type semiconductor layer is located between the first electrode and the second-type semiconductor layer. The light enters each photovoltaic cell along a direction from the first electrode to the interface. The first electrode includes first and second electricity-collecting portions which cross with each other and belong to a single film layer. A method of fabricating a photovoltaic cell module and a photovoltaic cell are also provided.

Abstract: An adjustable supporting device for monitor can be extended to adjust elevation and anchored rapidly to support a loading article. It includes at least a base containing an extendable trough, an extendable post inserting in the extendable trough to proceed an extending displacement or a retracting displacement, and an anchor means located on the extendable post to anchor the extendable post on the base. The extendable post can proceed the extending displacement whenever desired and generate an one-way anchoring effect during extending without retracting. Upon the extendable post is extended to a top stop, it can be retracted smoothly to proceed the retracting displacement.

Abstract: An electronic type torsional wrench includes a flexible member, a handle mounted on one end of the flexible member, and a sensor mounted between the flexible member and the handle. In such a manner, when a relative force is formed between the flexible member and the handle, the sensor detects the relative force or deformation, converts force or deformation values into torsion reading values, and displays the torsion reading values.

Abstract: An electronic type torsional wrench includes a handle, a force applying stem, a drive shank, and a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor includes a base member connected with the force applying stem, and a detecting member connected with the drive shank. In such a manner, when the relative pressure is formed between the force applying stem and the drive shank, the pressure sensor detects pressure values which are converted into torsion reading values by the converting unit, and the torsion reading values are displayed by the display monitor. Thus, the torsion reading values can be detected accurately, and the operation of the torsional wrench is convenient.
