  • Publication number: 20240119533
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating one or more smart contracts for deployment onto a blockchain. The systems and methods may include (1) receiving vehicle information related to a vehicle; (2) analyzing the vehicle information to identify one or more safety features installed in the vehicle; (3) generating, based upon the one or more safety features identified, a smart contract that may be configured to (i) maintain a set of indications related to whether safety features in the one or more safety features installed in the vehicle have been activated, and (ii) automatically execute on the blockchain based upon the maintained set of indications; and/or (4) deploying the smart contract at a particular address on the blockchain.

  • Patent number: 10426624
    Abstract: Methods and systems include a patient specific instrument for installing a glenosphere within a joint. For example, a method for implanting a glenosphere includes installing first and second pins in a glenoid cavity using a patient specific instrument that sets a distance between the guide pins, installing an implant at the location of the second guide pin, and guiding a glenosphere onto the implant using a helper connected to the first pin. In another example, a glenosphere helper includes a cup shaped body having an interior surface for engaging at least a portion of an outer surface of the glenosphere, and a flange extending from the cup to receive a guide pin at a point, the flange extending from the cup shaped body such that the point is positioned outside a periphery of the glenosphere.
