Abstract: Task permissions for software services can be set in a distributed computing environment according to some examples described herein. In one example, a system can determine software services that are included in software products deployable to a user account of a distributed computing environment. The system can determine task permissions to be set in the user account for allowing the software services to execute tasks in the distributed computing environment. The system can generate a list of task permissions by consolidating the task permissions based on predefined rules. The system can then transmit an output indicating the list of task permissions for causing the user account to be configured based on the list of task permissions, to permit the software services to execute the tasks in the distributed computing environment.

Abstract: In order to protect a trading party from predatory trading strategies employed by some market participants, especially during certain periods when quotes for a particular security are experiencing rapid changes or transitions, embodiments of the present invention facilitate and support various new type of trading orders whose booking and execution behaviors are dynamically varied in response to environmental market conditions and/or predefined rules. For example, the orders may be allowed to trade at more aggressive price levels if the market is relatively stable, and the orders can only trade at less aggressive price levels or be automatically suspended or even cancelled when the market is unstable.

Abstract: Software components can be automatically integrated into a control framework in a distributed computing environment. For example, a system can determine that a flag is set in relation to a complementary resource that is monitored by a controller in a distributed computing environment. In response to determining that the flag is set, the system can identify a target software component that is not managed by the controller in the distributed computing environment. The system can then integrate the target software component into a control framework of the distributed computing environment in which the target software component is managed by the controller based on the complementary resource.

Abstract: A device and method for collecting blood from an anatomical feature of a mammalian subject, the device including a vibrating plate assembly structured and arranged to retain the anatomical feature, a first biasing device releasably attachable to the vibrating plate assembly, a housing portion releasably connectable to the vibrating plate assembly, and a plurality of vibrating motors located beneath the vibrating plate assembly, such that vibrations translated to the anatomical feature enhance blood collection, such that the first biasing device constricts blood flow to the collection point on the anatomical feature, causing blood to pool therein, and low frequency and/or high amplitude vibrations cause vasodilation, encouraging blood flow through the capillaries at the collection point.

Abstract: A number of techniques for improving electronic trading are disclosed. According to some embodiments, an electronic trading system may establish a new Facilitation Cross order type which automatically performs a number of trading steps in a single uninterrupted sequence so as to help a risk trader fulfill a client investor's trading request efficiently and with lower market risk.

Abstract: A secure chat client is described that allows users to exchange encrypted communications via secure chat rooms, as well as one-to-one communications. In particular, the secure chat client allows users to create, configure, and manage secure chat rooms. Furthermore, the secure chat client provides users with the ability to recover secure messages when they obtain a new device or otherwise lose communications.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a door latch assembly for a roller door that has a plastic mounting plate and a latching plate and latch tongue positioned substantially within the mounting plate. The use of a plastic mounting plate avoids the problems of corrosion when two different metal surfaces are fixed to each other.
