Abstract: Systems and methods for identity verification to provide access to restricted goods or services. A first device may receive, from a second device operated on behalf of a user, a first request to purchase a restricted good or service. The first device may transmit, to the second device responsive to the first request, a second request comprising an identification of information of the user, and an identification of validation system; and may receive the requested information of the user. The first device may generate an attestation key comprising a hash of the requested information of the user and the identification of the validation system; and may determine that a record in a centralized or distributed ledger at an address corresponding to the attestation key is associated with a non-zero transaction value. Responsive to the determination, the first device may provide the restricted good or service to the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing identity verification services to users by providing a staking mechanism to incentivize participants in an identity verification system to be truthful and accurate and determining validator accuracy and associated setting of fees for using validator attestations to create an efficient, private and secure system.

Abstract: The present invention offers a component that enables the presenter to begin presenting the first pages of the document as they become available, without having to wait on the entire document to be processed. The present invention provides an approach that is used to monitor document processing as it taking place on a server. As each page is in the document is processed (e.g., converted), a monitoring component signals a controlling component to alert it of the specific progress events (e.g., a new page available). The controlling component can immediately interface with clients using a real-time communication component, for example letting users know when each single page is available for consumption. Once alerted, an informed client can signal all other clients which page to view.

Abstract: A break-away intravenous (IV) therapy fitting designed to eliminate loss of an intravenous site on a patient's arm is herein disclosed, comprising a two-piece coupling having a first side that connects to the IV tubing leading to an IV fluid supply. The second side is connected to the peripheral IV site on the patient's body. In use, the two (2) sides are connected, thereby allowing fluids to flow through. Upon application of a certain amount of stress against the IV tubing, the coupling would detach. Both halves of the coupling comprise internal valving members to avoid leakage, thus stopping flow on either side upon disconnection.

Abstract: An implantable medical device (IMD) is disclosed. The IMD includes a first substrate having a front side and a backside. A first via is formed in the front side, the via extending from a bottom point in the front side to a first height located at a surface of the front side. A first conductive pad is formed in the first via, the first conductive pad having an exposed top surface lower than first height. A second substrate is coupled to the first substrate, the second substrate having a second via formed in the front side, the via extending from a bottom point in the front side to a second height located at a surface of the front side. A second conductive pad is formed in the second via, the second conductive pad having an exposed top surface lower than second height. The coupled substrates are heated until a portion of one or both conductive pads reflow, dewet, agglomerate, and merge to form an interconnect, hermetic seal, or both depending on the requirements of the device.

Abstract: A tool for adjusting extremely tight lug nuts, such as often found on tractor-trailer trucks, consists of a socket wrench pulled by a screw and anchored against another lug nut coaxial to the one being adjusted. A hand crank turns the screw, which in turn pulls the handle of the socket wrench toward the anchor yielding very high torque multiplication. The tool is elongated and shaped to permit its use in the tight space found in the annular recess surrounding the hubs of most truck wheels.

Abstract: A circular slide attachment with pitch notations and additional markings is provided to enable circular pitch instruments and their indicia to be used for transposing musical keys. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, a circular slide having twelve chromatic scale note indicia is rotatably and coaxially fixed to a thirteen-tone pitch instrument bearing thirteen note indicia. Additional markings affixed to the pitch instrument cooperate with markings on the slide to enable transposition of the notes represented by one set of indicia to the notes represented by the other.

Abstract: A torque multiplying assist tool engages and pivots about a fulcrum to assist a conventional wrench in operating upon a work-piece. The assist tool functions as a secondary lever by receiving an applied force, pivoting about the fulcrum, and exerting a multiplied force upon the wrench. The wrench includes a grip element that is engaged to the work-piece and a handle extending from the grip element. The multiplied force is applied by way of a linkage assembly to the handle of the wrench causing the wrench to pivot such that torque is applied to the work-piece. In accordance with the preferred embodiments of the present invention, the assist tool is constructed and arranged to cooperate with the wrench to aid in the removal of a lug nut from a vehicle wheel. The work-piece is a lug nut (i.e., a primary lug nut) on the wheel and the fulcrum is another lug nut (i.e., a secondary lug nut) on the same wheel.
