  • Patent number: 11973769
    Abstract: An anomaly detection system is disclosed. In an embodiment, the anomaly detection system includes an anomaly detection module and a warning indicator module. The anomaly detection module includes one or more auto-encoders that receive sensor data from a plurality of sensors. Each of the one or more auto-encoders receives sensor data from at least three different sensors of the plurality of sensors. By receiving data output from at least three of the sensors, the auto-encoder can recognize expected inter-related patterns from the sensor output. The warning indicator module compares an output of a given auto-encoder of the plurality of auto-encoders to an input of the given auto-encoder to obtain an error value, and then compares that error value against an error threshold. In response to the error value exceeding the error threshold, the warning indicator module issues a warning signal associated with the sensor data received by the given auto-encoder.

  • Patent number: 11941699
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, an indication of a trade priced relative to a reference benchmark value (e.g., a trade at index close transaction) associated with an underlying index future may be received when a basis of the trade is agreed to by parties of the trade. Moreover, the indication may be received at least one day prior to a determination of a final price and quantity of the trade. The trade might create, according to some embodiments, any derivative, such as a future, an option, or a combination of put and call options. The trade may be reported and cleared, and it may then be arranged for the trade to physically settle into the underlying index future.

  • Publication number: 20240064013
    Abstract: A method of making cryptographic key metadata available to key owners while protecting the integrity of the cryptographic key metadata comprises extracting key metadata from a metadata storage on a key data storage system. The metadata storage is logically isolated from a sensitive cryptographic data storage on the key data storage system. The method further comprises transmitting, by unidirectional communication, the extracted key metadata to a user-accessible metadata database that is separate and distinct from the metadata storage on the key data storage system. The method identifies, from the user-accessible metadata database, user-specific metadata for at least one cryptographic key associated with an authorized user associated with the at least one cryptographic key, and communicates the identified user-specific metadata to the authorized user.
