Abstract: Some embodiments relate to configuring and managing financial instruments such as binary options having a financial value based on the outcome of at least one a weather-related event. In some embodiments, a binary option may be specified. The binary option may have a financial value tied to one or more weather outcomes, location parameter(s), and time parameter(s). The binary option may be issued and traded on a primary and secondary market.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and article of manufactures for receiving a plurality of bids and offers for a binary options transaction. Each bid and offer comprises a quantity and a price. At least one rule is applied to the plurality of received bids and offers. At least one of the plurality of bids and offers is determined to be potentially manipulative. An alert that the at least one bid or offer is potentially manipulative is transmitted.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and article of manufactures for receiving a plurality of bids and offers for a binary options instrument. Each bid and offer comprises a quantity and a price. A subset of bids and offers from the plurality of received bids and offers is generated. At least one rule is applied to the subset of bids and offers to generate a reduced subset of bids and offers. A binary options index is computed from the reduced subset of bids and offers. A request for a binary options transaction that is based on the computer binary options index is received.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and article of manufactures for providing seamless transitions between graphical images on a binary options interface. A user-input is received on a touch-sensitive display of the binary options interface. The user-input corresponds to a request for a transformation of a graphical image that is displayed on the binary options interface. The binary options interface is integrated into a mobile device. In response to the user-input, an updated graphical image is generated. The updated graphical image is displayed to replace the graphical image on the binary options interface. The graphical image to the updated graphical image comprises a continuously displayed image.

Abstract: Systems herein allow an administrator to efficiently enroll computing devices into a mobile device management system, even when those computing devices are offline and not connected to the system. A management server can include a console that allows the administrator to enroll an offline computing device by selecting an offline enrollment option on a registration record. This option can cause the management server to create a device record, indicating the computing device is enrolled. The management server can also create and save a provisioning file onto a storage device, such as a USB drive. Assets, such as graphics and applications, specified by the device record are also saved onto the storage device. The storage device can be physically connected to the computing device, at which point the provisioning file guides automatic installation of the assets and implementation of device settings and compliance rules specified by the device record.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus and article of manufactures for providing seamless transitions between graphical images on a binary options interface. A user-input is received on a touch-sensitive display of the binary options interface. The user-input corresponds to a request for a transformation of a graphical image that is displayed on the binary options interface. The binary options interface is integrated into a mobile device. In response to the user-input, an updated graphical image is generated. The updated graphical image is displayed to replace the graphical image on the binary options interface. The graphical image to the updated graphical image comprises a continuously displayed image.

Abstract: Systems and methods are included for providing feature sets to groups of managed user devices within an enterprise mobility management (EMM) system. A feature set can enable a user device to detect one or more triggering events, and in response, automatically perform a specified action. An administrator can request a feature set using an interface provided by a management server. The management server can enroll the user device, install a management agent on the user device, and automatically build and deliver the requested feature set to the user device. After receiving the feature set, the management agent of the user device can monitor for recurring triggering events without further intervention from the management server.

Abstract: Computer networks for secure demand-driven file distribution are described. In one example, a client device receives a notification to check in for updates. In response, the client device checks in with a device services computing device on a computer network. The device services computing device determines a path list to certain cache computing devices on the computer network for receipt of the files, builds a markup file including the path list to the files, and transmits the markup file to the client device. The markup file can also include unique identifiers of the files and an encryption key for secure distribution of the files. Using the markup file, the client device can request the files, and the computer network is physically and logically arranged to distribute the files among the cache computing devices and to the client device in a secure and demand-driven manner.

Abstract: A seal section for use in a downhole submersible pumping system includes one or more fluid separation mechanisms, a shaft, a mechanical seal chamber and a mechanical seal inside the mechanical seal chamber. The seal section further comprises a mechanical seal protector around the mechanical seal. The mechanical seal protector includes a cap that surrounds a portion of the mechanical seal and a filter screen. The cap may also include one or more expulsion ports extending through the cap. The cap may be stationary or connected to the shaft and configured for rotation.
