Abstract: A system for reversibly deidentifying images uses optical character recognition (OCR) or another method of automatically determining pixels to edit or remove within a medical image. One or more keys are generated encoding the original pixel values and pixel locations for the edited or removed pixels, and are stored on at least one server or at a medical institution that originally created the images. The encrypted data is stored in a DICOM header of the image files. Upon request, keys are able to be provided to restore at least some of the original pixels of the medical images.

Abstract: A light emitting ophthalmic lens in which a light source is incorporated into a lens. The light source may be configured to emit light within a specific wavelength, such as but not limited to a blue light having a wavelength of about 470 nanometers. The ophthalmic lens may include one or more light guiding elements for directing the light emitted from the light source onto a desired region of an eye, such as the outer areas of the retina. The light source may be attached to the ophthalmic lens or may be integrated therewith. The one or more light guiding elements may be configured to reflect, diffuse, disperse, defocus, and/or diffract the light from the light source towards the eye. A control unit may both power the light source and allow for programming various functions of the light source.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions of matter and methods used to activate effector nucleic acids and effector targets in vivo via a CRISPR-based cascade system. The compositions and methods achieve non-specific delivery of cascade system components to cells yet the cascade system works in a cell-specific manner.

Abstract: A device may create an optical obstruction such as a haze for a predetermined amount of time in front of one or more eyes of the user and thereby trigger a blink response in the user. The device may include a lens having a plurality of layers and a sensor configured to detect a blink it at least one eye. At least one of the plurality of layers may include an electrodynamic layer in communication with the sensor. The electrodynamic layer may be configured to adjust the lens from a first state to a second state in response to a first signal from the sensor and from the second state back to the first state in response to a second signal from the sensor. The second state may include an at least partial obstruction of vision through the lens.

Abstract: The invention relates to computer-implemented systems and methods for implementing a verified digital asset platform. An embodiment of the present invention is directed to enabling companies to provide professional recognition awards to employees utilizing digital assets, such as NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens). With an embodiment of the present invention, a digital wallet may store public and private keys and allow the owner to perform various actions including access assets, manage assets and sign transactions.

Abstract: Methods and systems for adjusting device functions based on ambient conditions or battery status are disclosed. When environmental or device conditions reach a threshold level, device function such as display brightness or display refresh rate may be adjusted. One such example, may include a method and system for image fusion with a wide camera and a second image from a narrow camera to create a composite image with unnoticeable blending between the images.

Abstract: An integrated milling and production device. The device includes a production housing, a connector, a motor, and a milling bit. The production housing has a central bore with at least one flapper valve pivotally disposed therein and an actuator. Upon completion of milling operations, the connector may be disengaged from the production housing. The production housing may be repositioned in the well. Activation of the actuator permanently opens the flapper valve to permit the flow of production up the production housing to the well surface. The actuator may be a piston.

Abstract: A system for transcription is controlled and optimized by computer software which implements a competitive market for jobs is presented. Jobs are characterized by type, deadline, domain, difficulty, pay rate, customer and other factors. Editors are given credentials to perform jobs based on a complex of editor and job characteristics, and all editors qualified for a given job may then perform actions to preview and to claim the job. Job characteristics are adjusted dynamically to ensure that they are completed accurately and according to schedule.

Abstract: A bonded part includes: a substrate including a polymer matrix material; a metal layer; a layer of adhesive between the substrate and the metal layer; and a layer of smut between the layer of adhesive and the metal layer.

Abstract: A device to detect pathogens and/or analytes in a test sample is designed to include a core, which may have first and second chambers. The first chamber is designed to accept a combination of a test specimen and a buffer liquid. A piston is designed to slideably engage into the first chamber of the core, wherein the end of the piston may engage with the bottom of the first chamber and be capable of grinding the test specimen. A plunger is designed to slideably engage with the second chamber of the core, and is in fluid communication with the first chamber. An assay section is attached to the core, and is in fluid communication with the second chamber. The assay device is designed to include a test strip that is capable of detecting and indicating the presence of pathogens and/or analytes in the combination of the test sample and buffer liquid.

Abstract: A distributed project management system especially suited for construction projects and administered by third party Application Service provider (ASP) in communication with a plurality of remote client computers and providing a dashboard to each party including a general contractor dashboard that facilitates development of a smart contract based on a project template.

Abstract: A mechanically locking hydraulic jar device includes an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve partially disposed in an inner bore of the outer sleeve, and a mechanical lock engaging the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve in a default position to axially secure the inner sleeve to the outer sleeve. Activation of the hydraulic jar disables the mechanical lock to allow axial movement of the inner sleeve relative to the outer sleeve, which generates an impact force when the inner sleeve reaches an activated position. The hydraulic jar device also includes an upward block and a downward block configured to limit the upward and downward axial movement, respectively, of the inner sleeve relative to the outer sleeve when the mechanical lock is disabled.
