Abstract: A validation terminal located at a registered location comprises a barcode reader, a memory, and a processor. The memory stores a public key that is paired with a private key linked with the registered location of the validation terminal. The processor is operably coupled to the barcode reader and the memory, and is configured to detect an encrypted barcode that was scanned by the barcode reader from a mobile device that is located at the registered location of the validation terminal.

Finally, an assurance message is provided to the merchant indicating successful payment for fulfilling the order request of the user upon determining the contribution value received from the one or more entities is summing up to the assurance value.

Abstract: A housing arrangement has a blower motor including a rotation shaft that traverses through an underside and a topside of the blower motor, the rotation shaft being configured to mount a fan impeller thereupon, a first housing part that receives the blower motor, a second housing part that covers the blower motor received in the first housing part, a first decoupling unit arranged circumferentially between the underside of the blower motor and an inner bottom of the first housing part, and a second decoupling unit arranged circumferentially between the topside of the blower motor and an inner surface of the second housing part. Here, the spring stiffness of the first and the second decoupling units are substantially constant in an axial direction, a radial direction, or a normal direction.

Abstract: A new system for identification and treatment against cancer, specifically the mutation or deletion of an antioncogene. An ideal candidate is a patient with family history for hereditary mutations in a known antioncogene. The first method of this system identifies the mutation of a patient's at-risk antioncogene by causing a natural fluorescence only when the specific at-risk antioncogene has mutated or deleted. The second method of this system utilizes a virus to attack and dissolve cancer cells with special markers to avoid the damage to normal cells, thereby achieving the purpose of treating cancer.
