Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to real-time payment/incentive system, and performance improvement, forecasting, and benchmarking. The technology disclosed also relates to distributed processing, quality checking, and learning. The disclosed systems and methods rely upon a trusted distributed blockchain database for feature and model storage to effectuate processing of the real-time payments.

Abstract: Systems and methods to generate a final event stream are provided. The system collects information from a wide variety of sources, and then parses, normalizes, and indexes the information. This generates an initial event stream that can be tagged and then iteratively processed to generate a final event stream. The processing includes first order logic querying and knowledge extraction to infer additional events which is added to the event stream. The final event stream is used by a knowledge exchange for consumption by applications. These applications may be internal applications and/or third party applications. This system may be particularly useful in use with medical information, or any other big data enterprise system.

Abstract: A dental floss container (20) comprises a base wall (21) and a side wall (22) extending upwardly from the periphery of the side wall (21) to define an open-topped compartment (23) for a spool of dental floss. The side wall (22) extends downwardly below the base wall (21) as a peripheral skirt (25), having a lower edge (26) of the skirt formed into a closure engagement part being a conventional snap-fit part which can snap-fit engage with the ledge of a toothpaste cap. The floss container (20) has a hinged lid (30) for the open-topped compartment (23).

Abstract: An apparatus for keeping a file system client in a read-only name space of the file system includes a system management component which sends “create” calls in response to mount “commands”. The apparatus includes at least a first disk element in communication with the system management component which receives the “create” calls and creates mount points in the read only name space in response to the mount “commands”. A method for keeping a file system client in a read-only name space of the file system includes the steps of creating a context mount point in an existing unit of a file system, where the unit is preferably VFS, in the read-only name space. There is the step of adding a new VFS to the name space at the mount point to the existing VFS.

Abstract: An apparatus for recovering a current read-write Virtual File System (VFS) includes a network element which receives client requests and makes calls responding to the client requests. The apparatus includes a VFS location database which maintains information about VFSes. The apparatus includes a disk element in which VFSes are disposed and which, when effective access to the current read-write VFS is lost, the disk element promotes a read-only VFS of the current read-write VFS to a read-write VFS. A method for recovering a current read-write VFS includes the steps of losing effective access to the current read-write VFS. There is the step of promoting a read-only VFS of the current read-write VFS to a read-write VFS.
