  • Publication number: 20240112263
    Abstract: Methods, systems and computer-readable storage media disclosed herein provide visual depictions of warnings and errors. An example method includes detecting, using a computing device, a change in a design of a trading algorithm. The trading algorithm is defined by a user-specified arrangement of blocks representing trading functionality. The example method includes determining, using the computing device, whether the trading algorithm complies with a trading algorithm rule. The example method includes facilitating, using the computing device, at least one of warning handling or error handling when the trading algorithm does not comply with the trading algorithm rule. Facilitating warning handling or error handling includes displaying a warning or an error to the user in connection with the trading algorithm before the trading algorithm is available for execution.

  • Publication number: 20240074829
    Abstract: Tissue access devices and methods of using the same are disclosed. The devices can have a sensor configured to occlude a flow path by deflecting a membrane into the flow path when the devices become dislodged from tissue. The sensor can be configured to partially or fully occlude the flow path. The sensor can have a spring. The spring can be biased to move the sensor from a sensor first configuration to a sensor second configuration when a force applied by the sensor first surface against a non-sensor surface changes from a first force to a second force less than the first force. The membrane can be deflected into the flow path when the sensor is in the sensor second configuration.

  • Patent number: 11922499
    Abstract: Contextual searches may be performed to identify subsets of search results from an organized dataset. Contextual searching may return search results based on a relevance of the results to a query or search terms. Characters may be input by users at a search field that may be used to define context filters for limiting the search results of the organized dataset. Triggering events may be received that may trigger the definition of context filters that may be used to obtain the subsets of search results from the organized dataset. The triggering event may be a delimiter in the character string, for example. The subset of search results may include a subset of tradeable objects that may be traded at an electronic exchange. The subset of search results may continue to be limited based on additional context filters defined from the search input at the search field.

  • Patent number: 11911736
    Abstract: An exemplary compounding method of controlling a compounding device to prepare an admixture of at least two distinct material sources can include examining material source solutions for incompatibility of the ingredients and operating a first and a second pump to prevent one of the incompatible source solutions from entering a common flow path. The processing method can detect degradation of a fluid line by evaluating one or more of calibration error rate data, cumulative volumetric flow data, or cumulative pump operation data. The processing method can also selectively transfer a first group of source solutions using the first pump, receiving pump data from one or more sensors that sense actions of the pumps, applying fluid correction factors and calculating discrete pump movements, the pump movements being indicative of an amount of source solution displacement by a pump, and operating the pumps to selectively dispense the source solution amounts according to a preparation order.

  • Publication number: 20240054561
    Abstract: Certain embodiments reduce the risks of traditionally programmed algorithms such as syntax errors, unclear logic, and the need for a non-trader programmer to develop the algorithm as specified by a trader by reducing or eliminating the writing of programming code by a user. Certain embodiments provide building block buttons and an algorithm area to define an algorithm. Certain embodiments provide live evaluation of an expression as the algorithm is being defined. Certain embodiments provide a design canvas area and blocks for designing an algorithm. Certain embodiments provide live feedback for blocks as the algorithm is being designed. Certain embodiments provide for initiating placement of an order to be managed by a selected user-defined trading algorithm from a value axis and for displaying working orders being managed by different user-defined trading algorithms on the value axis. Certain embodiments provide a ranking tool.

  • Publication number: 20230274357
    Abstract: Trading tools may be manipulated by allowing assembly, disassembly, and configuration of different trading tools. The assembly of different trading tools may generate combined trading tools. The combined trading tools may enable interoperability between the trading tools therein. Customization of the combined trading tools may be enabled by enabling a user to rearrange predefined areas displayed within the trading tools within the combined trading tools. The customization of the combined trading tools may enable customization of different functionality within the combined trading tools. The trading tools within a combined trading tool may include a tab tool for enabling multiple instances of another trading tool to which the tab tool is attached. Each instance of a trading tool may be associated with a respective tab for enabling a user to toggle between the multiple instances of the trading tool.

  • Publication number: 20230259653
    Abstract: A company may want to give access to voice conversations (e.g., a support call) to some users for review and analysis. However, the conversations may include personally identifiable information (PII), and the company wants to protect customer information while still allowing the use of the data. In one aspect, techniques are presented for receiving audio from the conversation and obtaining a redacted version of the audio, which does not include the PII, directly from the audio without having to rely on analyzing the transcript of the conversation first. Further, the modified audio may be deidentified to change the voice of the customer in the resulting audio in order to protect the customer identity.

  • Publication number: 20230222590
    Abstract: An application is disclosed that receives from a host exchange a plurality of trade notifications, each trade notification corresponding to an executed trade, and for each executed trade of interest, may determine whether the executed trade belongs in an aggregated set with one or more other executed trades. The application provides an indicator for indicating whether the corresponding executed trade or aggregated trade traded on the bid side or on the offer side of the market, and which indicates whether additional volume is available at the associated trade price.
