  • Publication number: 20240193153
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for implementing immutable governance within a technology platform having an N-dimensional blockchain structure and graph technologies. The technology platform creates a blockchain with immutable governance to cover each unique entity, behavior, and relationship. This approach to governance allows the platform to provide robust and resilient performance at extreme scales while providing interoperability between all blockchains and off-chain structures.

  • Patent number: 11778111
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a portable case, and a slide-out printer is connected to the portable case. The slide-out printer is connected so as to slide in and out of the portable case. The slide-out printer includes a scanner, and the scanner includes a platen. The apparatus also includes a slide-out shredder connected to the portable case. The slide-out shredder is similarly connected to slide in and out of the portable case.

  • Publication number: 20230281192
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for employing interlinking multiple independent and separately-scalable blockchains to create globally verifiable unique identifiers. The disclosed systems and methods facilitate the creation of the globally verifiable unique identifiers to a level of scalability unattainable without employing the underlying two-dimensional blockchain structure, metadata, and cryptographic information stored on the blockchain. Moreover, the system avoids collisions and name conflicts among the globally verifiable unique identifiers, supports post-creation verification of the globally verifiable unique identifiers, and provides a variety of ancillary functions using the globally verifiable unique identifiers.

  • Publication number: 20210251622
    Abstract: A staple-suture combination that includes a plurality of anchors, wherein each of the anchors are constructed from suture material and a cinching stitch such that the cinching stitch can be pulled thereby causing the suture material to cinch up and secure the anchor below the cortex of a bone and further including a mattress stitch that extends over a surface of a section of tissue thereby securing the tissue to the bone. The cinching stitch and/or the mattress stitch including barbs on an outer surface prevent the cinching stitch and/or mattress stitch from loosening.
