Abstract: A fluid finger protection device for forming an artificial callus on fingertips of a user includes a bottle and a fluid finger treatment contained in the bottle which can be applied to the user's fingertips. The fluid finger treatment comprises hardens when the fluid finger treatment is exposed to air such that the fluid finger treatment forms an artificial callus on the user's fingertips for reducing discomfort associated with playing the stringed instrument. A cap is removably attachable to the neck of the bottle and a stem extends downwardly from the cap. A plurality of bristles is each coupled to the stem to apply the fluid finger treatment to the user's fingertips when the user removes the cap from the neck of the bottle.

Abstract: A conductor for an electrical connector includes a conductor body extending between a mating end and a terminating end. The conductor body includes a connecting surface at the mating end and/or the terminating end. The conductor for the electrical connector includes an inhibitor encapsulation element that includes a blocking wall extending from the connecting surface. The blocking wall forms an inhibitor well along the mating surface configured to be filled with corrosion inhibitor material. The blocking wall is configured to capture the corrosion inhibitor material in the inhibitor well on the mating surface.

Abstract: An aeration assembly includes an aeration rod extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end and having a plurality of longitudinal grooves extending along the longitudinal axis from the first end at least partially to the second end around at least a portion of a circumference of the aeration rod. The aeration assembly also includes an air-activated material adjacent the aeration rod at least along the plurality of longitudinal grooves. The plurality of longitudinal grooves are configured to distribute air from the first end of the aeration rod to the air-activated material adjacent the aeration rod.

Abstract: Systems and methods for hashing ordinals under a modified blockchain protocol for blockchain events following ordinal theory. Ordinal identifiers are assigned to unspent inputs for a blockchain event. Content associated with multiple ordinals are embedded into data fields of the unspent inputs, which are then transferred to blockchain event outputs. The blockchain event outputs, including the embedded content associated with the multiple ordinals, are hashed into a block, which is broadcasted for appending to a blockchain data structure according to the modified blockchain protocol.

Abstract: A base plate system includes at least one base plate configured to support at least one accessory and at least one sensor that is configured to determine at least one characteristic of the at least one accessory and/or the at least one base plate. A controller uses the at least one characteristic to estimate a stress and/or strain caused by the at least one accessory on the at least one base plate and predicts how the stress and/or strain could change depending on position of the at least one accessory and/or orientation of the at least one base plate within a vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising nicotine and/or nicotine salt, and calcium silicate, wherein the composition is in a pouch, wherein the pouch is intended to be placed in the mouth.

Abstract: A method of treating or preventing a respiratory infection can include delivering aerosolized droplets of an antiviral solution to lung tissue of a subject, the antiviral solution including an aqueous carrier and an ATH conjugate that is solubilized in the aqueous carrier. The ATH conjugate includes antithrombin covalently bonded to heparin, the heparin including a polysaccharide chain having from about 15 to about 1,500 monosaccharide units.
