  • Patent number: 11893530
    Abstract: Systems, method and computer readable medium are provided for automated storage and retrieval. User authentication information is received via a user interface for a dynamic storage and retrieval device. The user identity is verified based upon the authentication information and previously stored authentication data. Order information is retrieved for an order associated with the user following the verifying of user identity, the order information indicating one or more locations for items associated with the order. Instructions are transmitted to initiate a physical opening of at least one of the dynamic storage and retrieval device and at least one static storage location to enable the user to retrieve at least one item of the order, the static storage location including a controller controlling a locking mechanism and communicatively coupled to the dynamic storage and retrieval device.

  • Publication number: 20160217527
    Abstract: Systems and methods to define and implement a spread trading strategy having multiple lean legs are described. An example method includes receiving, via a computing device, a definition of a spread trading strategy. The definition includes a first leg associated with a first tradeable object, a second leg associated with a second tradeable object and a third leg associated with a third tradeable object. The example method includes determining, via the computing device, a first leg price for the first leg using a first lean pricing technique and determining, via the computing device, a second leg price for the second leg using a second lean pricing technique. The second lean pricing technique is different than the first lean pricing technique.
