  • Patent number: 11244032
    Abstract: A method for creating and exchanging a copyright for each artificial intelligence (AI)-generated multimedia is described. An AI model and a reference input for a multimedia is received from a user. If the reference input complies with system policies, an AI-generated multimedia is generated from the reference input using the AI model. The AI-generated multimedia is compared against works of a same type in a blockchain and decentralized file storage and if the AI-generated multimedia fails to match the works, the AI-generated multimedia is categorized as having originality. A copyright for the AI-generated multimedia and the AI-generated multimedia is stored. An exchange is facilitated with a buyer using cryptocurrency and is written to a blockchain.

  • Patent number: 11193158
    Abstract: Rapid methods that identify sepsis-causing bacteria or yeast aid the physician in critical therapeutic decision-making, thus decreasing patient mortality rates. The methods described herein employ plating microorganisms directly on to a MALDI-MS plate, adding concentrated formic acid, and identifying the microorganism by mass spectrometry. Optionally, an organic solvent may be combined with the formic acid, or added to the sample before or after the concentrated formic acid is added thereto. The methods enable direct extraction of proteins from microorganisms without the need for liquid protein extraction methods and yields positive identification results for gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and yeast in minutes.
