Abstract: Certain aspects provide techniques and apparatus for efficiently executing reversible transactions on a blockchain. An example method generally includes aggregating tokens from a plurality of wallets into a global pool of tokens. Generally, the global pool of tokens comprises a first type of token and a second type of token. A request to exchange a first quantity of the first type of token stored in a wallet to a second type of token is received. A second quantity of the second type of token to transfer to the wallet is calculated based, at least in part, on a ratio of the first type of token to the second type of token in the global pool of tokens. The first quantity of the first type of token is transferred to the global pool of tokens, and the second quantity of the second type of token is transferred to the wallet.

Abstract: A full coverage abdominal anatomic hernia mesh is a device that provides full coverage of the abdominal wall for abdominal wall reconstruction procedures. The device includes a mesh body with an upper mesh section, a lower mesh section, a lateral edge, and a primary horizontal axis. The mesh body is anatomically structured to provide coverage to the midline and lateral abdominal regions of the abdominal wall as well as to the groin region. The upper mesh section provides coverage to the midline and lateral abdominal regions. The lower mesh section provides coverage to the groin region. The upper mesh section has a larger surface area than the lower mesh section to cover a wider area of the abdominal wall. The lateral edge delineates the perimeter of the mesh body. The primary horizontal axis divides the mesh body into the upper mesh section and the lower mesh section.

Abstract: A Package Terminal Air Conditioner (PTAC) or other room Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) appliance may present a temporary authentication code to a user staying in a room in which the room HVAC appliance is installed to enable the user to authenticate his or her mobile device and control the room HVAC appliance during their stay. The temporary authentication code is valid for a limited duration, such that a user previously authenticated to the room HVAC appliance loses authentication, and is required to re-authenticate with a new temporary authentication code when the prior temporary authentication code has expired. As such, a user lacking physical access to the room HVAC appliance, such as after the user's stay has ended, is no longer able to access the room HVAC appliance.

Abstract: A closure release method includes monitoring a pressure between a closure of a vehicle and a frame of the vehicle when the closure is closed against the frame. The method further includes detecting a change in the pressure, and releasing the closure from a closed position in response to the change.

Abstract: A full coverage abdominal anatomic hernia mesh includes an upper mesh section, a lower mesh section, a lateral edge, and a horizontal axis. The lateral edge includes a first inflection point, an upper concave edge, a second inflection point, a lower-left concave edge, a third inflection point, a lower convex edge, a fourth inflection point, and a lower-right concave edge to define the preferred shape. The upper mesh section is adjacently connected to the lower mesh section along the horizontal axis. The lateral edge is perimetrically positioned around the upper mesh section and the lower mesh section. The upper concave edge is extended from the first inflection point to the second inflection point and adjacent to the upper mesh section. The lower-left concave edge, the third inflection point, the lower convex edge, the fourth inflection point, and the lower-right concave edge are positioned adjacent to the lower mesh section.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for performing a blockchain-based transaction, comprising: executing a first process on a first blockchain, including: causing a first amount of cryptocurrency to be burned on the first blockchain according to a burn operation; formatting a message to include one or more details of the burn operation; and emitting the message to an event log associated with the first blockchain; requesting an attestation from an attestation service based on a hash of the message emitted to the event log; receiving the attestation from the attestation service; and executing a second process on a second blockchain, including: providing the message and the attestation to the second blockchain; and causing a second amount of cryptocurrency to be minted on the second blockchain based on the message.

Abstract: Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems are provided for oral delivery of cannabinoids. The cannabinoids are dissolved in an oily medium (e.g. medium chain triglycerides) together with at least one surfactant to improve dissolution, stability, and bioavailability. Also provided are methods comprising uses of an oral cannabinoid compositions for the treatment of neuropathic pain in a subject.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for bridging transactions across blockchains. The method generally includes receiving a request to invoke an atomic transaction including operations performed on a first blockchain and operations performed on a second blockchain. Generally, the atomic transaction is completed when an enumerated set of operations are completed. A first operation in the enumerated set of operations is initiated on the first blockchain. Initiating the first operation on the first blockchain triggers initiation of one or more second operations on the second blockchain. Completion of the one or more second operations for the atomic transaction is detected on the second blockchain, indicating that the operations of the atomic transaction relevant to the second blockchain have been completed on the second blockchain. Based on detecting completion of the one or more second operations on the second blockchain, the atomic transaction is finalized on the first blockchain.

Abstract: A communication device and corresponding methods are provided. The device includes a display screen upon which information is displayed. A microprocessor configured to execute at least one notification program is provided that displays a notification descriptive of an access control request on the display screen. The at least one notification program is programmed to receive data indicative of an access control request and to receive data descriptive of the access control request. Additionally, the at least one notification program is further programmed to display a notification indicative of the access control request and comprising an explanation of the access control request based on the received descriptive data.

Abstract: A mobile fire protection system comprises a first radiation detector for detecting radiation emitted by a flame in a monitoring region. A container holds fire suppression agent, the container being in selective fluid flow communication via a passage with an outlet for discharging the fire suppression agent. A mobile support structure carries the container. A valve is selectively movable between a closed state, wherein the fire suppression agent remains captive within the container, and an open state, wherein flow of the fire suppression agent from the container towards the outlet is enabled. A controller is configured, responsive to the first radiation detector detecting radiation emitted by the flame in the monitoring region, to cause the valve to move to the open state to discharge the fire suppression agent via the passage and the outlet towards the flame.

Abstract: Systems and methods for operating an engine with deactivating and non-deactivating valves are presented.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing data transfers between a secure location and a less secure location. A data transfer checker operating on a mobile device determines whether an attempted data transfer between two locations is permitted. If it is not permitted, then the data transfer is prevented and the user may be notified of the data transfer prevention.
