Abstract: A system and method for accommodating financial risk calculations in a relational database schema is disclosed. The database schema scales to accommodate a variety of risk calculations by utilizing a name/value pair approach associated with a market factor. Risk calculation definitions are explicitly and unambiguously defined by associating risk numbers with market factors that have been perturbed while calculating them.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a storage apparatus is described having a container with an opening and a cover that is reversibly deformable between a storage position and a covering position for covering the opening, the apparatus comprising: a rigid storage container having an opening and being nestable with other containers of identical size and shape, a reversibly deformable detachable cover comprising an elastomeric member that is reversibly deformed upon movement of the cover from the storage position to the covering position, with the elastomeric member providing a seal between the cover and the container when the cover covers the opening in the covering position, wherein the cover has a projected surface area in the storage position that is less than a projected surface area of the cover in the covering position such that the cover is storable inside the container while other containers of identical size and shape are nested in the container.
