Patent number: 11956274Abstract: A system and method are provided for implementing a secure configuration of a networked system for secure communications, the networked system including at least one instrument for performing corresponding tasks and at least one controller for controlling functions of the at least one instrument. The method includes providing a secure instrument configuration (SIC); displaying status provided by the SIC server identifying the controller and the instruments to a user via a user interface; writing controller secure configuration information from the SIC server to the controller through a software agent on the controller, the controller secure configuration information including authentication data for the instruments, and/or credentials of the one controller acceptable by the one instruments for identifying the controller; and communicating with the controller to initiate implementation of the secure configuration.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: KEYSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Keith Charles Thompson, Joseph Eugene Mueller

Publication number: 20140136389Abstract: A calendar spread futures contract is a forward contract on the intermonth spread of futures contracts. The calendar spread futures contract can be independently traded and accounted for independent of the traditional roll periods of the complementary futures contracts. An open interest holder can hedge against price volatility in the related futures contracts that may occur prior to or during the roll period. In other words, the calendar spread futures contract locks in the current spread between the front-month contract and the first-deferred contract. Buying a calendar spread futures control is equivalent to buying the spread difference between the expiring contract and the second expiry. Selling a calendar spread futures contract is equivalent to selling the spread difference between the expiring contract and the second expiry.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2014Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.Inventors: Eugene Mueller, Daniel Grombacher, Frederick Sturm

Publication number: 20050154660Abstract: A futures contract in accordance with the principles of the present invention is a cash-settled correspondent to a physical delivery commodity futures contract that mirrors a physical delivery mechanism utilized to settle the corresponding physical-delivery commodity futures contract. A futures contract of the present invention references a basket of deliverable-grade commodities corresponding to a deliverable basket for a corresponding physical-delivery commodity futures contract. A futures contract of the present invention obeys the same schedule for last trading day and expiration as a corresponding physical delivery commodity futures contract. A futures contract of the present invention has tick sizes that may or may not differ from a corresponding physical delivery commodity futures contract.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2004Publication date: July 14, 2005Inventors: Frederick Sturm, Ingrid Mele, Eugene Mueller

Patent number: 6521461Abstract: A method for removing one or more fluorinated alkenes from a fluid comprises the step of contacting the fluid with an N-, S-, or P-containing nucleophile for a time sufficient to form an N-, S-, or P-containing nucleophile-fluoroalkene adduct. The nucleophile, and therefore the adduct, can be covalently bonded, coated or sorbed to a particulate support which can be enmeshed in a porous, fibrous web. In a preferred embodiment the fluorinated alkene can have the formula wherein A=F or Rf; X=H, F, Cl, Rf, or YRf; Z= H, F, Cl, or Rf; and Y=O, N, or S; with the proviso that at least one A=F, and at most one of Z and X is H; wherein each Rf is independently selected from the group consisting of highly fluorinated or perfluorinated alkyl groups; and a combination of any two Rf groups can be linked to form a cyclic structure. The Rf alkyl chains may contain from 1-20 carbon atoms, with 1-12 carbon atoms preferred.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2001Date of Patent: February 18, 2003Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Mark Eugene Mueller, Donald Frederick Hagen, Yuri Cheburkov, Fred Lynn DeRoos, Glenn Delmont Johnson, John Stephen Marhevka, Venkateswarlu Pothapragada
