Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying eligibility and contribution level for services and/or products across multiple insurance platforms for provisioning benefit (and non-benefit) services and products to a patient. Benefits plan details for a plurality of benefit plans, and from a plurality of insurers or benefits management entities can be acquired and mapped to an inventory of products and/or services by one or more service providers. Business logic derived from the benefits plan details and the business logic can be used to read a personal benefits plan of an individual and determine personalized pricing for one or more of the inventory products. The benefit plan details and provider inventory items are correlated for a particular patient to render in near real-time available benefits, corresponding services, and patient-borne costs based directly on the benefits plan under which the particular patient may be covered.

Abstract: A system for verifying the security of communications between a set of nodes via a high-bandwidth, insecure communications channel. A number of embodiments are described for enabling authenticated communication between the nodes in an environment wherein there is a high bandwidth Dolev-Yao network amongst the nodes and non-spoofable, low-bandwidth empirical channels between each pair of nodes.

Abstract: A half-metallic antiferromagnetic material that is chemically stable and has a stable magnetic structure is provided. The half metallic antiferromagnetic material according the present invention is a compound containing two or more magnetic elements and a halogen, the two or more magnetic elements containing a magnetic element having fewer than 5 effective d electrons and a magnetic element having more than 5 effective d electrons. In addition, a total number of effective d electrons of the two or more magnetic elements is 10 or a value close to 10.

Abstract: A half-metallic antiferromagnetic material according to the present invention is a compound that has a crystal structure of a nickel arsenic type, a zinc blende type, a wurtzite type, a chalcopyrite type or a rock salt type and is constituted of two or more magnetic elements and a chalocogen or a pnictogen. The two or more magnetic elements contain a magnetic element having fewer than 5 effective d electrons and a magnetic element having more than 5 effective d electrons, and a total number of effective d electrons of the two or more magnetic elements is 10 or a value close to 10.
