Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that identify and issue search queries expected to be issued in the future. A set of search queries that have been issued by multiple user devices can be obtained. For each query instance, contextual data can be obtained. A first query and its contextual data can be input to a model that outputs the query's likelihood of being issued in the future. The model can be trained using contextual data for training queries and a corresponding labels for the training queries. The learning model outputs the first query's likelihood of being issued in future, and this query is stored as a repeatable query if the likelihood satisfying a repeatability threshold. Subsequently, a stored repeatable query is issued upon a selection of a user selectable interface component and the search engine provides search results for the query.

Abstract: One-time-pad (OTP) encryption systems and methodologies are resistant to cracking, even by advanced quantum computers. In contrast to some purported solutions, the required elements of an unbreakable OTP system are preserved under Claude Shannon's mathematical proof. In alternative embodiments, the invention uses a secure network to reconstitute blockchain systems without the use of asymmetric encryption. Described extensions of these block chain systems are described which enable an entirely new set of applications for protecting privacy, sharing information, performing validations and analysis of data, and creating system actions that are constrained by complex data algorithms.

Abstract: A wound barrier provides an adhesive sealed barrier surrounding a wound site that is oxygen permeable but which is substantially moisture vapor impermeable. The barrier includes a compound material that is a thin and compliant oxygen permeable backing material with pressure sensitive adhesive deposited on one surface. An adhesive deadening layer is island deposited onto the adhesive to form a non-adhesive zone and an adhesive zone at the periphery of the wound barrier. A liner layer is then placed over the adhesive side of the wound barrier to cover the adhesive until the barrier is to be applied to cover and seal off a wound site. The compound material can include a casting sheet to provide support while the barrier is applied and then removed to improve the compliant nature of the barrier.
