  • Patent number: 12250315
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure enable reversible blockchain operations. An operation-reverse operation pair specifies an operation for exchange of a first token for a second token, and a reverse operation for return of the second token for the first token upon at least one condition being satisfied. A self-executing software container (SESC) executes the operation-reverse operation pair according to the condition by detecting a transfer of the first token into a first segregated data structure, and a transfer of the second token from a second token storage to a first token storage. The SESC initiates a transfer of the first token from the first segregated data structure to a second segregated data structure in response to the transfer of the second token. Upon detecting a reverse operation matching the condition, the SESC initiates a transfer of the first token back to the first segregated data structure.

  • Publication number: 20240370414
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for connection concentration in a database environment. A transparency engine provided between client applications and a database can include a connection pool (e.g., UCP connection pool). The transparency engine can operate as a proxy engine for the database and as a session abstraction layer for the client applications, to enable the client applications to utilize features provided by the connection pool without code changes. The transparency engine can receive application connections from the client applications, and concentrate the application connections on a smaller number of database connections maintained in the connection pool.

  • Patent number: 12102561
    Abstract: Methods for treating Blepharitis, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Dry Eye Syndrome include thermal massage, thermal debridement, and thermal expression. Particular embodiments include use of handheld devices that provide the thermal therapy to tissue by contacting a surface heated with thermal energy to a patient's tissue. Thermal energy can be continuously provided during operation. In particular embodiments, a handheld device comprises a base assembly operatively connected to a removeable thermal energy applicator. A wide range of thermal applicators may be connected to the base assembly to provide different treatments, including heat application, debridement, and expression of the treated tissue or gland.

  • Patent number: 11969055
    Abstract: A footwear assembly with an insole assembly having a heel insole board above a midsole and a bifit insole board, which has a heel portion that is stiffer than a forefoot portion. The bottom edge flanges of the upper wrap around the sides of the bifit insole board's heel portion and arch portion rearward of an attachment transition area. At least a portion of the flanges are adhered between the bifit insole board and the heel insole board. The upper's flanges are positioned adjacent to sides of the bifit insole board's forefoot portion and arch portion forward of the attachment transition area without wrapping under the bifit insole board. The upper's flanges are stitched to a top or edge of the bifit insole board's forefoot portion and arch portion forward of the attachment transition area.

  • Publication number: 20240024030
    Abstract: A surgical system for use in performing a surgical implant procedure on a biological subject. In a planning phase, a planning processing device acquires scan data indicative of a scan of an anatomical part of the subject and generates model data indicative of an anatomical part model and either a surgical guide model representing a surgical guide, an implant model representing the surgical implant or a tool model representing the surgical tool. A planning visualisation can then be displayed to a user so the user can manipulate the planning visualisation in to calculate a custom guide shape for the surgical guide and/or plan the surgical procedure. During a surgical phase, a surgical guide is used to assist aligning an implant with the anatomical part in use, while a procedure visualisation can be displayed to the user based on the model data.
