  • Patent number: 11561984
    Abstract: Presently disclosed are systems and methods for generating customized filtered-and-partitioned market-data feeds. In an embodiment, an output-feed profile is maintained in data storage at a market-data-processing device (MDPD). The output-feed profile specifies a subset of ticker symbols and a ticker-symbol-based feed-partitioning scheme. An input feed of order-book updates to ticker symbols is received at the MDPD from an upstream device. At the MDPD, a customized market-data output feed is generated according to the maintained output-feed profile at least in part by filtering the input feed down to the order-book updates to ticker symbols in the specified subset and partitioning the filtered feed according to the specified ticker-symbol-based feed-partitioning scheme. The customized market-data output feed is transmitted from the MDPD to a downstream device.

  • Patent number: 11508890
    Abstract: A display device includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) having walls that extend through a transparent semiconductor layer and beyond the surface of the transparent semiconductor layer. Each of the walls surrounds at least part of each of the plurality of LEDs to collimate the light emitted by the plurality of LEDs. In some embodiments, the walls collimate the light emitted by the LEDs by reflecting the light or absorbing a portion of the light. The display device may further include an array of optical lenses that faces the surface of the transparent semiconductor layer to further collimate the light emitted from the LEDs.

  • Publication number: 20220362674
    Abstract: A method for analyzing a virtual object in a virtual environment includes obtaining an image of a first real-world object and transmitting, to a data processing system, the image of the first real-world object. The method includes creating a digital representation of the first real-world object and assigning local attributes to one or more portions of the digital representation corresponding to elements of the first real-world object. The method includes obtaining an image of an updated configuration of the first real-world object and transmitting, to the data processing system, the image of the updated configuration. The method includes creating, by the data processing system, a digital representation, of the updated configuration. The method includes comparing, by the data processing system, the digital representation of the first real-world object and the digital representation of the updated first real-world object to identify rearranged parts and assign local attributes.

  • Publication number: 20220198091
    Abstract: Methods and systems for computing distance data for a structure. A scan surface that represents an inspection area of the structure is identified. A plurality of sample points on an outer surface identified from a model of the structure and a corresponding plurality of projected points on an inner surface identified from the model of the structure are generated using the scan surface, a first geometric representation of the outer surface, and a second geometric representation of the inner surface. Distance data is computed using the plurality of sample points and the corresponding plurality of projected points. The distance data identifies a distance between a point pair formed by a sample point of the plurality of sample points and a corresponding projected point of the corresponding plurality of projected points.

  • Publication number: 20220164511
    Abstract: A power meter for measuring power usage in a circuit includes preprocessor and a weighting network. The pre-processor is configured to receive toggle data for a number of power proxy signals in the circuit for a plurality of clock cycles of the circuit in a first time window. The power proxy signals and weighting values are determined automatically from simulated or emulated toggle data. For each power proxy signal, the pre-processor averages the toggle data over one or more clock cycles in one or more second time windows, within the first time window, to provide averaged toggle data, and outputs the averaged toggle data for each second time window. The weighting network is configured to combine the averaged toggle data from the power proxy signals, based on a set of weight values, to provide a measure of the power usage.
