  • Patent number: 8646304
    Abstract: In a grain bin floor panel having first and second floor surface extending outwardly from a central support leg to respective first and second side support legs, the central support leg includes first and second upright portions and a lower portion connected between respective lower ends of the first and second upright portion. The first and second upright portions are connected to respective ones of the first and second floor surfaces at the upper ends of the upright portions and are spaced apart from one another at respective lower ends. The lower portion is generally concave such that the lower ends of the first and second upright portions together with the lower portion forms a concave quadrilateral.

  • Publication number: 20060265318
    Abstract: A user interface for an electronic trading exchange is provided which allows a remote trader to view in real time bid orders, offer orders, and trades for an item, and optionally one or more sources of contextual data. Individual traders place orders on remote client terminals, and this information is routed to a transaction server. The transaction server receives order information from the remote terminals, matches a bid for an item to an offer for an item responsive to the bid corresponding with the offer, and communicates outstanding bid and offer information, and additional information (such as trades and contextual data) back to the client terminals. Each client terminal displays all of the outstanding bids and offers for an item, allowing the trader to view trends in orders for an item. A priority view is provided in which orders are displayed as tokens at locations corresponding to the values of the orders. The size of the tokens reflects the quantity of the orders.

  • Publication number: 20060265315
    Abstract: A user interface and method are disclosed for providing trading between a plurality of semi-fungible and non-fungible goods. A plurality of book axes are displayed in a single interface, each book axis representing a market for a particular good. Orders for goods are displayed as marks on the axes to display the relative value of the orders. A value axis is provided that relates the value of the goods from each market to each other. Thus, a single interface provides the means to relate the values of different semi-fungible goods. The value axis may be displayed in units of price, or a custom value designated by a user or pre-defined by the interface. Quantity information is represented in the interface through the display of a dimension of an order icon. Precise information about each order is displayed either in a panel view or a pop-up window.
