Abstract: Presented is a computer-based system for exchange order routing over a communication network which includes a client terminal configured to provide an end-user interface between the client terminal and a first server, the interface providing a template for building an order routing strategy including a stipulation string, and to submit one or more orders and the order routing strategy to the first server. A program executable within the communication network to implement the routing strategy by crossing the order on a first electronic exchange, and placing order liquidity on respective second electronic exchanges. A method implements the order routing strategy by receiving an order and a routing strategy containing a stipulation string having parameters of predetermined criteria, a first phase order processing allocates a first order quantity to a crossing location, a second phase order processing allocates a second order quantity to an idle location.

Abstract: A first body safe/sports wallet (100) and second body safe/sports wallet (200) which are tri-fold and bi-fold wallets having hook (14) securely attached to an outside surface thereof to prevent slipping or removal thereof during a user's activities.

Abstract: A method and apparatus electrically coupling input/output bond pads that are disposed proximate to one another on a microelectronic device. The apparatus includes a microelectronic device having at least two conductive input/output bond pads electrically coupled to an integrated circuit of the microelectronic device and first and second conductive stud balls bonded to first and second input/output pads, respectively, and a third conductive stud ball bonded to the first and second conductive stud balls. A wire bonding tool in “stud ball” mode is utilized to bond the conductive stud balls.

Abstract: A manipulator drive mechanism employing splined shafts in both a vertical and a horizontal axes. The horizontal splined shaft is rotatably driven by a rack assembly and a pinion gear rotatably fixed with respect to the horizontal splined shaft and which is also slidable along the horizontal splined shaft.

Abstract: A tension indicator for use with fasteners such as a cooperating nut and bolt. The tension indicator comprises a pair of washers for placing on the shank of the bolt between the bolthead or nut and the workpiece that is to be secured by the fastener. Each washer includes a concave central portion having a hole therethrough for receiving the shank of the bolt with the concave surfaces of the washers facing in opposite directions in the assembled condition. Each washer further includes at least one finger extending outwardly from the central portion. Prior to the application of the load on the tension indicator by either the fastener or the workpiece, the outermost end faces of the coacting fingers will be at equal and opposite angles with respect to each other. After a predetermined load has been applied to the fastener, the outermost end faces of the coacting fingers will be aligned with each other to thereby visually indicate that the desired load has been achieved.
