SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BABY BOTTLE MANUFACTURING

A method uses a computer to scan a user's nipple and identify its features using machine learning. The method then creates a 3D image of the user's nipple through a genetic algorithm process. This 3D image is sent to another computer for printing a custom baby bottle nipple that matches the user's nipple shape.

PHARMACOTHERAPY OF NEUROSYSTEM DYSFUNCTIONS

A drug delivery system is designed to release a neurological drug in a specific part of the brain when a person engages with an audio/video task on a screen. The system is programmed to release the drug based on certain factors in the brain, such as pH levels or blood flow, to target areas affected by illness while avoiding healthy regions. The interactive task can adapt based on feedback from the person's responses, potentially changing the treatment approach as needed.

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MINTING NFTS FROM USER-SPECIFIC MOMENTS

This invention is a system that turns personal moments into unique digital assets called NFTs. It uses a processor and memory to organize user data into different moments, rank them, and then convert the top moment into an NFT for permanent storage. This process ensures that each user's special moment is securely recorded and can be owned as a digital collectible.
