  • Patent number: 12632901
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stock exchange trading platform for a plurality of trader data processing devices that are in communication connection with the trading platform, wherein the trading platform has a trading platform data processing device (“matcher”), which is able to store orders generated by one of the trader data processing devices in an order book, or to fill a matching order that is already recorded in the order book, at least partially, to acknowledge such received orders to the dispatching trader data processing device, and furthermore, to send messages to a plurality of connected trader data processing devices (in the case of a trading system with equally entitled traders, to everybody) in a broadcast mode. The trading platform is in particular characterized in that a unit of the trading data processing device controlling the optional execution or storing of the orders is configured as a dedicated logic circuit.

  • Patent number: 11966973
    Abstract: An electronic communication network comprises a server platform and client data processing devices. Each client data processing device is configured to submit electronic messages to the server platform, provided with a timestamp. The server platform is configured to process incoming electronic messages strictly in a sequence corresponding to the timestamp. The electronic communication network comprising at least one switch, wherein the switch is arranged to receive electronic messages from a plurality of the client data processing devices. the switch comprises a buffer and is configured to store the electronic messages produced by the client data processing devices in the buffer, and to transfer the electronic messages in a manner sorted according to the timestamp provided to each electronic message by the time generator of the client data processing device submitting the electronic message, so that the electronic message with the oldest time is transferred first.

  • Patent number: 11376954
    Abstract: A method for shifting a PTO transmission includes selecting a PTO output speed from one of a first PTO speed and a second PTO speed of the PTO transmission, operating the PTO transmission in a reduced power mode at the selected PTO speed, the reduced power mode providing lower power to the PTO transmission at the selected PTO speed than a normal operating mode, comparing an instantaneous drive power to a maximum drive power in the reduced power mode, and when the instantaneous drive power exceeds the maximum drive power, automatically shifting the PTO transmission under load from the reduced power mode to the normal operating mode and automatically adjusting a transmission ratio of a vehicle transmission.

  • Patent number: 11196322
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing an electric motor comprising a rotor and a stator a placeholder for a temperature sensor is inserted in the axial direction between a first coil layer and an adjacent second coil layer of a winding head such that the placeholder is situated in a gap-shaped recess extending between the first and the second coil layers, the first coil layer is then pressed onto a circumferential surface of the placeholder and onto the second coil layer and is plastically deformed such that a space between the lateral surfaces of the two coil layers and the circumferential surface of the placeholder is reduced, and a contact surface between the lateral surface of the first coil layer and the circumferential surface of the placeholder is enlarged. By removing the placeholder, a receiving chamber is subsequently formed in the winding head, into which a temperature sensor is then inserted.
