  • Publication number: 20220398636
    Abstract: Implementations of a method of generating a non-fungible token of a song may include receiving an upload of a song from an artist; receiving proof of copyright registration; performing an intellectual property rights check of the song; and receiving funds from the artist for a desired number of critiques of the song. The method may include receiving a selection of a category of the song from the artist; receiving, from the artist, a selection of a percentage of ownership of a non-fungible token of the song available for sharing; and generating the non-fungible token of the song along with an associated predetermined number of financial non-fungible tokens using the web server and a block chain system coupled thereto. The method may also include allocating the financial non-fungible tokens according to the selection of the percentage of ownership of the non-fungible token using the block chain system.

  • Patent number: 9913738
    Abstract: A conditional braking knee includes an upper member configured to couple to a prosthetic socket. A braking member couples to the upper member. A lower member couples to the braking member and is configured to rotate with respect to the upper member. A flexion coupler couples to the braking member and is configured to couple to a prosthetic foot. The braking member is configured to prevent a rotation of the upper member relative to the lower member in response to a flexion of the prosthetic foot communicated to the braking member through the flexion coupler. In implementations the braking member is a clamping member rotatably coupled to the upper member with a first axle, the lower member is rotatably coupled to the clamping member with a second axle, and the clamping member prevents a rotation of the upper member relative to the lower member by clamping on the first axle.

  • Publication number: 20140284359
    Abstract: Principles of the present disclosure contemplate use of a flexible sleeve to aid in donning and doffing garments, for example compression garments. The compression garment may be rolled around the sleeve via an eversion process. The compression garment may be unrolled from the sleeve and onto a limb via a reverse eversion process. Likewise, the compression garment may be unrolled from around a limb and onto the sleeve via an eversion process. By utilizing an eversion-based approach, compression garments may be donned and/or doffed more quickly and easily.
