Abstract: An impact protection system and methods, providing impact protection without limiting mobility of a batter, are disclosed, which can include providing a shirt, and coupling a pad to the shirt, the pad configured on one side of the shirt to face toward a pitcher.

Abstract: The embodiments in this disclosure include a system for receiving search requests for one or more items from a client device having access to a local database that stores primary catalogs containing items of contracted entities. If the items are not found in the primary catalogs, the system may be configured to execute an API for processing the search request by routing the search request to a proxy vendor computer in a cloud network. The cloud network may be configured to store vendor master records for one or more non-contracted entities. The proxy vendor computer can conduct a text search of secondary catalogs associated with non-contracted entities, and can transmit search results to the client device for the requested items. The items may correspond to one or more vendor master records associated with a non-contracted entity and may have a matching entry in one or more of the secondary catalogs.

Abstract: A method for catalytically converting a dihydrotetrazine 1 into a tetrazine 2, wherein one R group on the dihydrotetrazine 1 is a substituted or unsubstituted aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, carbonyl, or heteroatom-containing group, and the other R group is selected from the group consisting of H and substituted or unsubstituted aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, carbonyl,- or heteroatom-containing groups; 1, 2 wherein the method comprises oxidizing dihydrotetrazine 1 in a reaction medium in the presence of a catalyst and a stoichiometric oxidant.

Abstract: Conformationally strained irans-cycloalkenes and derivatives thereof suitable for radiolabeling in a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: A system and method for automated securities portfolio synchronization is provided. The system includes a lead trader account database, a follower account database, and a trade determination system. A follower provides a lead trader identification which is used to retrieve a lead trader portfolio from the lead trader account database for display to the Follower. The contents of the lead trader portfolio are compared to securities already owned by the follower and to a list of securities not to be purchased that is retrieved from the follower account database. The follower may then make adjustments to the lead trader portfolio and synchronize their portfolio to that of the lead trader.

Abstract: A system and method for automated securities trading is provided. The system includes a lead trader account database, a follower account database, and a trade determination system. Trade information is received from a lead trader and a listing of followers for the lead trader is retrieved from the lead account database. For each follower, their account at the follower account database is accessed to confirm that they desire to participate in the lead trader's trade and that they have enough funds to do so. The lead trader and follower's traders are then grouped together and traded as a single trade. The traded shares are then provided to the lead trader and followers at the average price of the trade.

Abstract: A platform for facilitating computer-implemented transaction interacts with heterogeneous computer-implemented decentralized ledgers (e.g., blockchains, etc.). The platform has the ability to provide a unified interface in which the contents of such ledgers can be accessed or otherwise consumed and, additionally, the ability to write on such ledgers using such unified interface. Decentralized ledgers or blockchains as provided herein can save data publicly (or optionally privately) on a decentralized database which cannot be erased. Many computing nodes in a network (which can be vast and include thousands of nodes, etc.) can be used to store this data in a decentralized manner and cryptographic algorithms can provide that the data cannot be changed unknowingly.
