Publication number: 20170200231Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing derivative product orders at an exchange. Traders provide derivative product order risk data to the exchange. The order risk data may include maximum delta, gamma and/or vega utilization values for derivative product contracts based on the same underlying product. Before executing a trade, a match system analyzes the trader's current utilization state and the utilization that would result after the trade. The match system may then execute all or a portion of the trade.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2017Publication date: July 13, 2017Inventors: David Salvadori, John Falck, Charlie Troxel, James Farrell, Agnes Shanthi Thiruthuvadoss, Arjuna Ariathurai, Scott Johnston

Publication number: 20170100772Abstract: A method for manufacturing an article from a metal alloy is described. The method includes supplying the metal alloy into a nozzle of a printing chamber, where temperature of the metal alloy is between a solidus and a liquidus temperature. Further, the method includes depositing the metal alloy in successive layers on a substrate plate, inside the printing machine, using the nozzle. The method also includes controlling movement of at least one of the nozzle and the substrate plate within the printing chamber based on an electronic data source of the article, where the electronic data source includes geometry of the article.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2015Publication date: April 13, 2017Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Scott A.

Patent number: 9537680Abstract: Methods and systems are provided in which a network induces different distortions in signals traversing different segments of the network. The distortions may be used to identify locations on the network of devices that transmit and receive the signals. The distortions may be reflected in equalization coefficients programmed into transmitting or receiving devices, which may be used to pre or post filter the signals to compensate for the distortions.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2015Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Lawrence D. Wolcott, Phillip F. Chang, Bryan Scott Johnston

Publication number: 20160354850Abstract: A method of manufacturing a gear-cutting tool is disclosed. The gear-cutting tool includes a base portion and cutter teeth extended from the base portion. Each cutter tooth includes a cutting tip portion. The method initiates with hardening the gear-cutting tool with a first hardening process. Thereafter, coating the cutter teeth with a wear resistant material and then hardening the cutting tip portion of each of the cutter teeth with a second hardening process. In the second hardening process, the heat treat is directed to penetrate through the wear resistant material. This process imparts the heat treatment to the wear resistant material and the cutting tip portion of the cutter teeth of the gear-cutting tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2015Publication date: December 8, 2016Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: GABRIEL J. ELLICOTT, Richard G. Marsh, Scott A. Johnston

Publication number: 20160168708Abstract: A method of manufacturing a component includes providing a component machined or forged from an air-hardenable steel, and placing the component in a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processing chamber. The method may include controlling the pressure within the processing chamber to a pressure that is below atmospheric pressure, inducting feedstock gases into the processing chamber, and increasing the temperature inside the processing chamber to a coating temperature at which one or more volatile precursors from the feedstock gases react on the surface of the component to produce a thin film coating. The temperature in the processing chamber may be maintained at the coating temperature for a period of time that includes at least one of a period of time before, during, and after the thin film coating is produced in order to austenitize the material of the component.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2014Publication date: June 16, 2016Applicant: CATERPILLAR INC.Inventors: Steven TAYLOR, Tianjun LIU, Scott JOHNSTON

Patent number: 8751361Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for executing a hedge transaction in connection with the execution of a derivative product order in which the price of the derivative product is defined by one or more variables. The hedge transaction may be executed at an exchange or match engine that is different from the exchange or match engine executing the derivative product order. The execution of derivative product transaction may be contingent on the existence of an appropriate hedge transaction. Alternatively, a best efforts approach may be used to fill the hedge transaction order after executing the derivative product transaction.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2013Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.Inventors: James W.
