Abstract: Anonymous DNA/RNA biospecimen tracking process is disclosed for human families to use an anonymous DNA/RNA biospecimen extraction kit that utilizes public key infrastructure, asymmetric encryption, and Non-Fungible-Tokens from a public Blockchain or Distributed Ledger Technology distributed ledger/blockchain to create a Self-Sovereign DNA Fingerprint for each DNA donor, relate, claim ownership, consent to use, establish biological relationship between donors, and keep track of corresponding multi-omics data sets. The process allows entire families to create a Self-Sovereign DNA Fingerprint for each member/donor (using at least 50 SNPs) and explore the genomic revolution without risking their identities, losing track of their biosamples, corresponding datasets and customize data governance by using individual or multi signature wallets in which all data is encrypted using a unique master family encryption key.

Abstract: A system and method includes mobile device, a SIM associated with mobile device, an MNO computer, a computer associated with an owner of the mobile device, a first set of keys stored in the SIM for securely communicating with the MNO computer, and a second set of keys for securely communicating with the computer associated with the owner of the mobile device, to exchange application information. The SIM can be configured to determine when updated information related to the second set of keys is required, securely send a request to the MNO computer for updated information related to the second set of keys using the first set of keys, and responsively receive the updated information related to the second set of keys from the MNO computer, the updated information being provisioned by the computer associated with the owner of the mobile device.

Abstract: A shoulder transfer weight support apparatus including a hip or waist belt, a back support, and one or more shoulder extensions. The support apparatus includes an integrated radiation shielding unit. Optionally, the apparatus includes a face shield at least partially made of a radiation shielding material that is configured to releasable attach to the apparatus. The face shield can be a full face shield or a partial face shield.

Abstract: A shoulder transfer weight support generally having a hip or waist belt, a back support, and one or more shoulder extensions. The back support has an upper back plate attached to the shoulder extensions and a lower back plate attached to one or more hip belts. The lower back plate features a bracket shaped to receive an end of the attachment bar that joins it to the upper back plate. A spring-loaded plunger can be inserted into the attachment bar to allow for height adjustment of the device. A face shield at least partially made of a radiopaque material and can attach to the back support. One attachment option is a yoke mount with vertical sections at either end of the yoke mount. A second option involves a mount that attaches to the shoulder extension(s). The device can use a full face shield or a face shield with an open front.

Abstract: A system for collecting and processing a sample of an enriched population of mesenchymal stem cells in a matrix of body tissue in which the sample is separated into smaller segments to optimize the ability of the system to organize the stem cells into small working clusters with tissue. The tissue clusters are separated into optimized groupings for further processing and use in medical procedures.

Abstract: A wearable weight support that transfers the weight of heavy garments that rely on shoulder support, off of the shoulders to the hips of the user. The device provides additional posterior radiation protection to the wearer as the back support can be made from radio-opaque materials. The device also provides lumbar support and results in less body heat containment through natural venting. The device is easily adjustable to any body type and allows the wearer to move more freely in their work environment. The invention can be used to transfer the weight of a backpack or other systems which rely on shoulder support to function.

Abstract: The disclosure describes various stackable corner protector configurations. The corner protectors can have curved lateral surfaces that allow the corner protectors to be decoupled from a photovoltaic module to which they are coupled to by rotating one end of the corner protectors away from the object. This removal process works even more efficiently with multiple stacked corner protectors as the stacked corner protectors can be concurrently removed from the object by rotating the stacked corner protectors away from the object together. The corner protector can also include one or more attachment features for securing the corner protector to the object. For example, when the corner protector is installed on a photovoltaic module, the attachment feature can engage a lip defined by a recess or channel of the photovoltaic module.

Abstract: Fecal Blood Tests are the primary screening methods for finding blood in the digestive system and indications for colorectal diseases. Almost all of the current tests are performed with the supervision of physicians, and are quite messy, and expensive. Consequently, the tests are not utilized and cause the deaths of thousands, plus 58,000 estimated in the United States in 2005, that could be prevented. The Easy Scan Fecal Blood Test is an easy-to-use, clean, home, fecal blood test made available to thousands of individuals by including the test with the purchase of toilet tissue at essentially no cost.
