Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to a real-time distributed microservices application system for supporting an auction system. The system may perform operations including obtaining a bid and dealer vehicle information from a first entity; obtaining buyer vehicle information from a second entity; creating a dynamic and real-time auction for the second entity based on the buyer vehicle information; transmitting a message to the second entity to join the auction; transmitting a message to the first entity to join the auction; and connecting the first and second entity in a server environment to implement the dynamic and real-time auction.

Abstract: An ergonomic laptop for permitting a user to adjust a viewing angle or height as needed may include a base member preferably having a keyboard displayed on a top surface thereof. A mechanism for linearly biasing the display screen along a y-axis defined above the base member, for adjusting a spatial distance between the display screen and the base member, may also be included. Further, the laptop preferably has a mechanism for pivoting the display screen about a fulcrum axis oriented along an x-axis defined subjacent to the y-axis. The base member preferably remains statically positioned at a fixed location while the display screen is linearly displaced along the y-axis. Additionally, a plurality of telescopic shafts and sleeves may be included along with a worm gear centrally disposed between the sleeves to linearly bias the display screen in a vertical direction.
