Abstract: An autonomous rover including a frame having a first end and a second end longitudinally spaced from the first end and forming a payload bay, the payload bay being sized to support a pickface, a common active registration surface configured to engage the pickface, and a drive section connected to the common active registration surface, the drive section being configured to variably position the common active registration surface relative to at least one storage shelf of an automated storage and retrieval system to effect placement of the pickface on the storage shelf so that pickfaces are substantially continuously arranged along the at least one storage shelf with a predetermined storage spacing between the pickfaces.

Abstract: A system in an electronic securities market includes a configurable look-up table that has assignment entries that assign each of a plurality of securities to one or more securities processors in the system. Whenever an order is received that involves a specific security, a security look-up process accesses the configurable look-up table to determine which securities processor the specific security is assigned to. Once determined, a messaging process, which is responsive to the security look-up process, sends the received security order to the securities processor to which the specific security is assigned.

Abstract: A system for disseminating data includes a gateway server, a processing module coupled to the gateway server requests data on a subject to be sent to a subscriber application, and a communications module for receiving a message from upstream network gateway servers, subscribing downstream gateway servers to receive the message, and broadcasting the message to the downstream gateway servers. The new system and methods provide a common mechanism for consolidating and disseminating data to all downstream applications. This enables the use of one message format for like events from different hosts and provides a consolidated mechanism for data and information exchange.

Abstract: A system to disseminate attributable interest information concerning a single market participant includes an internal interface that receives general attributable interest messages concerning a specific security that is traded on a computerized trading system. Each general attributable interest message includes a lot size, a per unit value, and a market participant identifier. A message filtering process filters the general attributable interest messages to select a single market participant. This generates filtered attributable interest messages that concern the single market participant. An external interface publishes, over an information bus, the filtered attributable interest messages to the single market participant.
