Abstract: A system and method for operating a reward points accumulation and redemption program wherein a user earns reward points from a plurality of independent reward points issuing entities, with each tracking the user's earned reward points in a user reward point account stored on a rewards server (such as a frequent flyer account or a credit card loyalty account). A trading server accumulates some or all of the user's earned reward points from the reward servers and credits the accumulated points into a single reward exchange account associated with the user. The user may then select an item for purchase with the accumulated reward points. The item is provided to the user in exchange for a subset or all of the reward points.

Abstract: A system and method for operating a reward points accumulation and redemption program wherein a user earns reward points from a plurality of reward points issuing entities, each of the reward points issuing entities tracking the user's earned reward points in a user reward point account stored on a rewards server. A trading server accumulates the user's earned reward points from each of the reward servers interconnected over a network in association with consideration provided by the reward servers to the trading server and credits the accumulated points into a reward exchange account associated with the user. The user may then select an item for purchase from a merchant computer interconnected to the network. The merchant computer provides the item to the user in exchange for consideration received from said trading server, and the trading server reduces the number of points in the user's reward exchange account in accordance with the consideration provided to the merchant computer.

Abstract: A loyalty or reward point system that utilizes the pre-existing infrastructure of a typical credit card network. In one embodiment, a user makes a purchase at a merchant of a product using a credit card. The merchant contacts the acquiring bank (which may be any type of financial institution but is referred to generically herein as a bank) with which it has contracted for credit card network services, and as known in the art, will get an approval or decline message after the acquiring bank contacts the issuing bank of the credit card used by the purchaser. Assuming that the purchase transaction is approved, the user is awarded loyalty points from the merchant based on the amount of the purchase (e.g. 100 points for a $100 purchase). A central server resides on the credit card network and tracks the transaction between the merchant, the acquiring bank, and the issuing bank. A reward account is maintained on the central server on behalf of the merchant and the user, and the number of reward points in the user's account for that merchant is increased accordingly. In an alternative embodiment, the user's reward points are logged in an account maintained by the acquiring bank on behalf of the merchant (with which it has a contractual relationship) and the user. The user may redeem the reward points earned from the transaction with the merchant at a later time, or may redeem the points with another merchant on the credit card network, or may aggregate those reward points with those of other merchants into a central exchange account, and then redeem the aggregated points for goods or services from any approved merchant on the network, depending on the configuration of the system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process and method for the early detection and diagnosis of disease by reading and decoding volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for signatures associated with a specific disease. From its outset, each disease begins producing its own unique set of volatile organic compounds. For many diseases, this early-stage detection may be many months or years before noticeable symptoms. The VOC emissions when analyzed, result in a “signature” that identifies and distinguishes the developing, or at later stages, the developed disease. The device assays non-invasively obtained biosamples in real-time to output a VOC based signature that, when correlated with data in a disease signature library, identifies one or more diseases associated with the sample.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for testing or screening individuals for symptoms of disease, exposure to restricted chemical or bio-hazards. The device may be configured as a compact box or tubular assay chamber. A sluice or walkway is provided for assaying moving animals. The present device assays volatile compounds, especially volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitting from a subject individual. Different VOCs are produced as metabolic activity changes as an individual addresses a pathogenic, chemical or biological stress or progresses through normal biologic cycles such as sleepwake, seasonal, fertility, etc. The system is especially advantageous for timing breeding events and apportioning feed for desired levels of milk production and calf health. Nanosensor elements within the device provide assessment of multiple VOCs to a system with integrated analysis capacities that rapidly compares instant data to a developed database. This comparison allows rapid assessment of metabolic or health status and potential risks the individual or offspring of the individual may face.

Abstract: The present invention teaches multiple three-dimensional nanosensing geometries for simultaneously assaying both large and small bio-related molecules in one device. The invention delivers broader sensitivity and selectivity than devices that assay small or large molecules separately. The combination assays all classes of molecules, e.g., proteins, lipoproteins, nucleoproteins, lipids, phospholipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, simple sugars, hormones, volatile organic compounds, drugs, drug metabolites, etc. Broad collection enables i) rapid and accurate diagnosis, ii) likely courses of treatments, and iii) timely feedback that monitors and follows the progressions of treatment(s). In one example, a patient's pattern of blood lipids, proteins—including proteins with alternate cleavage patterns, peptides—including endocrine peptides, thyroxine (and/or other hormones), and drug metabolites, forms a profile specific to that patient at that time. The profile is inputted for analysis by comparing it to a library of pooled data. Applying artificial intelligence (AI) to this comparison allows accurate diagnosis and then can suggest historically validated treatments most suited to that patient.

Abstract: Social network members control access to and utilization of their data. Static information associated with the member is acquired, and computer-based activities of the member are recorded to generate dynamic information associated with the member. A set of member preferences are acquired from the member, including an identification of a third party to whom access of the member profile is granted by the member in exchange for compensation to the member. A member profile is constructed including the static information associated with the member, the dynamic information associated with the member, and the member preferences. The member profile is transmitted to the third party identified in the member preferences, and compensation is provided to the member exchange for access to the member profile. The member profile is stored in a blockchain ledger and is updated by recording each computer-based activity to a record in the blockchain ledger.
