  • Publication number: 20190333152
    Abstract: A disclosed system, method and computer readable storage medium includes mechanism for controlling cascade price movements in an electronic trading system. Price limits control the prices at which traders can place orders. An upper price limit prevents traders from placing orders above the upper limit and a lower price limit prevents traders from placing orders below the lower limit. The gap between the upper limit and the indicative marked price as well as the gap between lower limit and the indicative market price is controlled so as to cause a breaking effect on very rapidly changing market price.

  • Patent number: 10429343
    Abstract: Various technologies pertaining to a transistor having a variable-conductance channel with a non-volatile tunable conductance are described herein. The transistor comprises source and drain electrodes separated by a conducting channel layer. The conducting channel layer is separated from an electrochemical gate (ECG) layer by an electrolyte layer that prevents migration of electrons between the channel and the ECG but allows ion migration. When a voltage is applied between the channel and the ECG, electrons flow from one to the other, which causes a migration of ions from the channel to the ECG or vice versa. As ions move into or out of the channel layer, the conductance of the channel changes. When the voltage is removed, the channel maintains its conductance state.

  • Publication number: 20190295691
    Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to employing grouping and selection components to facilitate a determination of output data based on a set of scoring requirements. In an example, a method comprises retrieving, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a set of genetic data from one or more device capable of analyzing genetic material. In another instance, the method includes identifying, by the system, a first subset of genetic data representing a star allele that corresponds to a set of phenotypic traits. In yet another aspect, the method can include generating, by the system, a set of output data based on correlations between the first subset of genetic data, clinical data and guidance data.

  • Publication number: 20190213268
    Abstract: A subtree pinning system includes a file system tree, a plurality of metadata servers, and a metadata server assignment system. The file system tree includes a plurality of subtrees. The metadata servers are configured to manage the plurality of subtrees. The metadata server assignment system is configured to receive a command to reassign a subtree to a first metadata server. The metadata server assignment system is also configured to remove an assignment of a second metadata server to manage the subtree and create an assignment of the first metadata server to manage the subtree. The metadata server assignment is further configured to prevent the subtree from being managed by another metadata server.
