Abstract:

An ambulatory support and traction device used as a flexible foot () added to a walking aid, such as a cane or crutch (), is provided. The flexible foot () includes a bendable coil or spring () that allows angulation of a walking aid shaft () relative to the foot () without the loss of adherence of the foot to a ground surface (). The allowance of angulation of the walking aid shaft () improves ambulatory support and balance when leaning on the walking aid or when traversing an inclined surface and can assist the user in rising from a sitting position to a standing position without repositioning of the foot. The flexible foot () has a rigid base () for structural support and a traction sole () to adhere to surfaces both indoors and outdoors and on different surfaces and environments.

Abstract:

The Social Data Tracking Datastructures, Apparatuses, Methods and Systems (“SDTD”) transforms brokerage order request, blockchain transaction request, agency action request inputs via SDTD components into brokerage order confirmation, transaction confirmation, agency action notification outputs. An order of a user for an order processing entity is obtained. A blockchain data node, which facilitates access to user-owned read data, associated with the order is determined. A blockchain identifier of the blockchain data node and a blockchain identifier of the order processing entity is provided to an access control node and the user-owned read data is obtained. The order is executed using the user-owned read data. A write access blockchain node, which grants the order processing entity permission from the user to create one or more blockchain data nodes, is determined. A new blockchain data node is created that facilitates access to the user-owned write data associated with the executed order.
