Abstract: Methods and systems are described for verifying an identity of a user through contextual knowledge-based authentication. The system described uses contextual knowledge-based authentication. By verifying an identity of a user through contextual knowledge-based authentication, the verification is both more secure and more intuitive to the user. For example, by relying on confidential and/or proprietary information, the system may generate verification questions, the answers to which are known only by the user.

Abstract: The urinary catheter includes a balloon that anchors a distal end of a catheter lumen in position inside of the bladder. It includes a port open to the inner lumen at the distal end of the catheter to allow for the flow of urine from the bladder, through the catheter, and to the connected drainage bag. A drainage bag collects urine from the catheter. The drainage bag has an inlet port for receiving urine and an outlet port for draining urine from the drainage bag. There is often collection tubing that connected the catheter to the drainage bag. A lock device provides that the inlet port of the drainage bag and the outlet port of the urinary catheter remain coupled together.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes creating a premiums escrow, with a zero balance, for a group of policyholders and managed using a distributed ledger and self-executing agreement. At a term beginning, the self-executing agreement receives premium payments sing cryptocurrency from each policyholder and allocates the premium payments to the premiums escrow. During the term the self-executing agreement receives a notification of an incident claim associated with a claimant policyholders. At a term end, the self-executing agreement receives payment instructions from the policyholders; pays, using cryptocurrency from the premiums escrow, the claimant an incident claim payment larger than the premium payment and determined according to the payment instructions; and distributes to the policyholders a rebate payment equal to or lower than the premium payment from the premiums escrow, which returns to a zero balance.

Abstract: A structuring fabric for use in a machine to produce a structured fiber web, such as a structured tissue fiber web, has a machine direction, a cross machine direction, and a thickness direction. The structuring fabric includes a woven base fabric with a web facing side and a machine side. A plurality of structuring beads of polymeric material are formed on the web facing side of the woven base fabric, the structuring beads being suitable to provide a visible structure to the fiber web that is produced on the structuring fabric. The structuring beads rest on an upper foundation surface of corresponding sublayer beads of polymeric material. The sublayer beads thereby provide a foundation for the structuring beads. There is also described a production method for producing such a structuring fabric.
