  • Patent number: 11875405
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to regulation of a rate of incoming orders by buffering or otherwise batching orders together as they are received and subsequently forwarding batches of orders to a match engine for processing thereby in a manner which may equalize orders from traders having varying abilities to rapid submit orders or otherwise capitalize on market events. The disclosed embodiments further relate to prioritizing the matching of resting orders against an incoming order. In particular, the disclosed embodiments alter the priority of a given resting order to match against an incoming order, relative to other suitably matching resting orders, as a function of how long the orders have been resting on the order book.

  • Publication number: 20230404170
    Abstract: A vaping device includes an atomizer, a microcontroller, a positioning sensor for detecting the location of the vaping device, and an environment sensor, such as a LIDAR, for detecting any person around and estimating the distance between the environment sensor and each detected person. In a system for providing information to users about places to vape, including a server and a number of vaping devices, the microcontroller of each vaping device sends to the server the detected location of the vaping device together with environmental data including the number of persons detected around and the minimum distance between the environment sensor and the detected persons. The server evaluates a level of comfort for each location received depending on the associated environmental data, and it generates a map of places to vape listing all the received locations with their evaluated level of comfort.

  • Patent number: 11563316
    Abstract: The system includes an electronic device connected to a cord that can be unreeled and reeled in by a cord reel, and a management apparatus that can communicate with the electronic device. In the system, the cord-reel-use detector is disposed in the electronic device, and detects use of the cord reel. The memory is disposed in the electronic device and/or the management apparatus, and stores an amount of use of the cord reel. The controller is disposed in the electronic device and/or the management apparatus, and determines the use of the cord reel on the basis of the detection made by the cord-reel-use detector. The controller changes the amount of use of the cord reel in response to the electronic device having been replaced with another electronic device or in response to the cord reel having been replaced with another cord reel.
