Abstract: Systems and methods for transmitting trade orders from a client trading engine to an exchange where the trades are executed. The system may comprise a low latency system in communication with the client trading engine and the exchange server(s). The low latency system is for receiving trade orders from the client trading engine, performing one or a limited number of pre-order risk checks on the trade orders, and, when the trade orders pass the risk checks, transmitting the trade order to the exchange server(s). The system also comprises a post-order risk checking data center in communication with the low latency system via a network. The post-order risk checking data center is for performing post-order risk checks on the trade orders after the low latency system transmits the trade orders to the exchange server(s).

Abstract: Techniques to create a portable wireless network are described. A mobile computing device may comprise a first transceiver to communicate with a fixed wireless device, and a second transceiver to communicate with multiple wireless devices. The mobile computing device may also include a network access management module to manage communications between each wireless device and the fixed wireless device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A security device for attaching laptop computers and the like to a desk includes a body portion which is to be received in an aperture of the work surface of a work station or desk. The body portion includes a grommet which fits within the aperture with a flange at the top. A lock plate bears against the underside of the work surface to hold the grommet in place. A combination of pawls and lock teeth hold the lock plate in place. Within the grommet there is a cable lock to which the computing device is attached.
