  • Patent number: 11942217
    Abstract: A system including a range of motion, quality of sleep, overall, and control modules. The range of motion module, prior to a procedure being performed on a patient, determines a first range of motion score of the patient based on a first signal generated by a sensor. The quality of sleep module, prior to the procedure being performed on the patient, determines a first quality of sleep score or a first pain score based on the first signal. The overall module determines a combined score based on the first range of motion score and the first quality of sleep score or the first pain score. The control module compares the combined score to a predetermined threshold and predicts an outcome of the procedure based on the comparison. The control module, based on the combined score, determines whether to perform the procedure, adjust the procedure or refrain from performing the procedure.

  • Patent number: 11556978
    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for conducting e-commerce. In one example, a method of conducting an e-commerce transaction includes a method of operating an online retail website. The method includes providing access to a computer interface for suppliers and presenting information to the suppliers through the computer interface regarding activity of the supplier's stock keeping unit (SKU). The suppliers are then enabled to directly modify at least one parameter associated with a presentation of the supplier's SKU on the retail website by way of the interface. The modification of the parameter may include, for example, modification of the presentation of the SKU including, for example, changing the title, adding video or photograph, or adding some other information. The modification of the parameter may also include, for example, modifying the price or entering into a bilateral agreement with the operator of the retail web site.

  • Patent number: 10673634
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein create a first addressed account and a second addressed account that each have a common identifier and are each associated with a customer. The system can receive an order for exchanging digital transactional items associated with the first addressed account, where the order is associated with the common identifier. A private key associated with the first addressed account can be used to electronically sign a first transaction to transfer the digital transactional items from the first addressed account to the second addressed account, and the same private key can be used to sign a second transaction. After verifying that the first transaction was signed with the same private key as the first transaction, the system authorizes placement of the order on a cryptographic exchange.
