Abstract: A system for analyzing a security includes a processor; an input module configured to cause a graphical user interface to be rendered on a user's client machine, the interface including a graph of stock price versus trading dates, with price being indicated on a first axis and trading dates being indicated on a second axis, the interface being configured to input a first trading date by a user interacting with the graph and actuating on the graph in a location, along the second axis, representing the first trading date, the interface being configured to input a second trading date by a user interacting with the graph and actuating on the graph in a location, along the second axis, representing the second trading date; a return decomposition module configured to compute, using the processor, shareholder return between the first trading date and second trading date, and to decompose the shareholder return into: zero growth earnings yield, earnings and yield growth, capital needs for growth, change in price-earn

Abstract: A system for enabling contributors to create and share financial analysis, the system includes a server configured to receive financial analysis contributions from contributors, the financial analysis contributions from each contributor including at least a prediction of a future price for a security; the server including a database configured to store the financial analysis contributions from contributors; the server being configured to receive ratings of at least one of contributors and financial analysis contributions; and the server being configured to make security price predictions based on contributions from multiple contributors, after making adjustments taking ratings into account. Other systems, methods, and computer readable media are disclosed.

Abstract: A device (10) for protecting data, comprising a first interface (18) for connection to a computing device, a second interface for connection to a data storage (20), an encryptor (22) located in-line between the first interface (18) and the second interface, a control system (30), and a memory (24). The memory (24) includes program data (26) executable on the computing device to perform user authentication, the control system (30) is configured to initially expose the memory (24) to the interface to facilitate user authentication and to expose the encryptor (22) to the interface only upon successful user authentication, and the encryptor (22) is operable to encrypt on the fly data received from the first interface (18) and to forward the data once encrypted to the second interface and to decrypt on the fly data received from the second interface and to forward the data once decrypted to the first interface (18).

Abstract: The present invention encompasses a control system and method for systems of producing and consuming units. The method of the invention includes the steps of setting each producing unit to have an output responsive to an analog signal representative of a market price, and connecting each producing unit to a marketwire, with the changes in the analog signal on the marketwire representing changes in the market price resulting from inputs from the consuming units and the output response of each producing unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling non-linear coupled systems with a single output. More particularly, the present invention relates to control and coordination of force actuators that act on a single object without use of a central controller.

Abstract: The invention comprises a monitoring and incident management system for an aircraft including an on-board system on the aircraft, an incident management center on the ground, and a redundant secure communications link between the on-board system and the incident management center. The on-board system includes components that assist the aircraft crew in identifying and defending against potential threats to the aircraft, such as suspicious passenger activity. The incident management has access to a wide variety of information concerning the aircraft and activities taking place on the aircraft, as well as the ability to transmit commands to the on-board system. The on-board system includes a cockpit door module that combines double-doors and biometric identification to prevent unauthorized access to the cockpit.
