Abstract: Methods and systems for creating attachments between a sample manipulator and a sample within a charged particle systems are disclosed herein. Methods include translating a sample manipulator so that it is proximate to a sample, and milling portions of the sample manipulator such that portions are removed. The portion of the sample manipulator proximate to the sample is composed of a high sputter yield material, and the high sputter yield material may be the material milled with the charged particle beam such that it is removed from the sample manipulator. According to the present disclosure, the portions of the sample manipulator are milled such that at least some of the removed high sputter yield material redeposits to form an attachment between the sample manipulator and the sample.

Abstract: A system for distributing indications of interest (IOIs) to trade one or more financial instruments is provided, where the system includes at least an input/output (I/O) device, an order management system, a data server, and an analysis and correlation engine communicatively coupled to the I/O device, the order management system, and the data server. The analysis and correlation engine can be configured to receive merchandise-related data from the I/O device, trade order data from the order management system, and client holdings data from the data server. The system can be configured to calculate correlation data based on the merchandise-related data, the trade order data, and the client holdings data and to select one or more target clients for receiving IOIs based on the correlation data. The system can also create and transmit IOI messages to the one or more target clients.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a user interface for searching, browsing, and ordering overhead (e.g. aircraft or satellite) imagery are provided. The user interface provides a map and search bar for searching and browsing images. Images may be presented to a user based on a selected and/or displayed geographic region of interest. Browsing to a different geographic region of interest may dynamically and automatically update the images presented. The user interface allows the user to select an image for viewing and/or purchase. Selection of an image overlays the image on the map, aligned with the geographic region which the image captures. Closing the selected image re-centers and re-zooms to the original display. Presented images can be filtered based on several criteria. Images can include still images and/or videos.

Abstract: A method of automatically finding a market venue for a limit order, including identifying which of a plurality of market venues on a list of potential routing destinations would offer an order protection from trade-through. Moreover, if at least two of the market venues would offer the order protection from trade-through, the method may further include selecting a protecting market venue, from among the market venues that would offer the order protection from trade-through, based on one or more criteria. If none of the market venues would offer the order protection from trade-through, the method may further include selecting a non-protecting market venue from the list of potential routing destinations based on one or more criteria.

The evacuation devices preferably include at least an electrically powered vacuum pump and a power source, and are adapted for mounting to a universal adapter that is installed to the distal end of a prosthetic socket. Associated control systems may be of various design and may employ wired or wireless communication. When wireless communication is employed, a hand held controller may be used to remotely control operation of the evacuation device.

Abstract: A system and method for manufacturing a custom prosthetic liner. The system may include a shape capture device for capturing the shape of a residual limb. The captured shape may be used to generate a 3-dimensional electronic liner model using a processor and specialized software. A 3-dimensional electronic model of the residual limb may also be produced. Preferably, an interface is provided that allows a user of the system to alter the shape and/or size of the 3-dimensional model(s) to allow the subsequently-produced liner to accommodate particular features of the residual limb. Data associated with at least the resulting 3-dimensional liner model is provided to a manufacturing facility equipped to produce a custom liner therefrom. The data may be remotely transmitted to the manufacturing facility. A positive likeness of the residual limb is created from the data associated with the 3-dimensional model(s), and is subsequently used as a mold core in the liner molding process.
