Publication number: 20240046294Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a continuous order book for a market for wagers on the outcomes of future events, described elsewhere as a prediction market, include adjusting a market price for an item based on unmatched orders to buy and sell the item, wherein buyers and sellers trade the item at a prevailing single current market price as determined by the order book. The current market price changes according to the number, volume, and rate of unmatched outstanding orders, which will eventually be filled at a new current market price when a counterparty submits an opposing order. In some embodiments, the item is a financial instrument, like a swap, equity, debt, or derivative.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Joshua Beck, Kenneth Noble, Glenn Yu

Patent number: 9573071Abstract: A toy racetrack including a partial loop section is configured to maintain a partial loop configuration when maintained in an unloaded, freestanding configuration, and to collapse when in a loaded state in which a toy vehicle passes over such partial loop section. When a force is applied to the upper section of the pathway from a traversing toy vehicle, the added force shifts the center of gravity past the balancing point that maintains the partial loop section in its freestanding configuration, and the partial loop section collapses. A spring-loaded head may be provided at the end of the upper portion of the partial loop section, and may be configured to spring away from the partial loop section when contacted by a toy vehicle. A wind-up motor may be provided that drives a diverter in the base of the partial loop section, which may direct a toy vehicle through the partial loop section or onto an alternative racetrack path.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Mattel, Inc.Inventors: Glenn Yu, Douglas E.
