Abstract: A system or method for determining a satellite observation for a virtual reference station can include: determining a virtual reference station location, receiving a set of satellite observations at a reference station located at a reference station location, determining a first GNSS correction for the virtual reference station location and a second GNSS correction for the reference station location, and determining the satellite observation for the virtual reference station by combining the set of satellite observations, the first GNSS correction, and the second GNSS correction.

Abstract: Systems and methods for updating remote memory side caches in a multi-GPU configuration are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a graphics processor for a multi-tile architecture includes a first graphics processing unit (GPU) having a first memory, a first memory side cache memory, a first communication fabric, and a first memory management unit (MMU). The graphics processor includes a second graphics processing unit (GPU) having a second memory, a second memory side cache memory, a second memory management unit (MMU), and a second communication fabric that is communicatively coupled to the first communication fabric. The first MMU is configured to control memory requests for the first memory, to update content in the first memory, to update content in the first memory side cache memory, and to determine whether to update the content in the second memory side cache memory.

Abstract: This patent specification relates to systems and methods that use networks of standardized time series and models in a generic and extensible platform. More particularly, this patent specification relates to standardizing time series and models, using standardized time series and models in a network of time series (NOTS), and creating networks of time series in a NOTS platform. In addition, this patent specification relates to use of nodes that can be arranged in any user defined order, and each node is evaluated to return a time array that may be used to populate a time series. A layering framework may be used to define how each node is evaluated.

Abstract: An improvement in DMD illumination systems is set forth, wherein the spatially integrated object plane is selected from within the volume of the integrating rod, rather than at its exit face. In one embodiment, the exit face of the rod may be curved to aid imaging. Benefits of the integrator rod according to the present invention include reduced sensitivity to dust, edge chips and surface defects, simpler or more rugged mounting.

Abstract: A system for processing traditional open-end mutual fund purchase and redemption orders at a server at designated Exchange(s) for receiving order messages from at least one of a plurality of Brokers and Member Firms, the server having at least one processor and memory for storing routines operable to process individual or aggregated order messages, preferably based on a prioritized set of business rules, and/or match the purchase and redemption orders, reformat the orders, and transmit the reformatted orders to at least one of a plurality of Fund/Securities Clearing Agents, Funds/Transfer Agents and Depositaries for confirmation, and clearing and settlement of issuance and redemption orders for mutual fund shares, as well as payment of mutual fund dividends.

Abstract: A system for processing mutual fund order messages, including mutual fund purchase and redemption transactions, comprising a server for receiving order messages from at least one of a plurality of designated Exchanges or brokers, aggregating the order messages, reformatting the order messages and transmitting the order messages to at least one of a plurality of Fund/Securities Clearing Agents for confirmation, clearing and settlement including issuance and redemption of mutual fund shares.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for an issuer of a periodic rate reset security with a conversion feature (PRRSC), other than a traditional convertible security issuer, to issue a PRRSC including the steps of designating the PRRSC as one of an equity or a debt instrument; designating an underlying security associated with the PRRSC; setting a conversion price and a conversion ratio for the PRRSC; designating a period for setting a periodic rate associated with the PRRSC; determining a value of the periodic rate in a market environment; and issuing the PRRSC, wherein conversion of the periodic rate reset security is non-dilutive to the net asset value and earnings per share of the underlying security of the PRRSC Issuer.

Abstract: Methods and arrangements for adjusting and maintaining a lateral or radial position of a nozzle such as a nozzle in an ink jet print head. Since the alignment of an ink stream issuing from a nozzle in ink jet applications is usually critical in that the ink jet stream must be directed to a specific target area, described herein are arrangements for enabling the nozzle and issuing ink stream to be precisely aligned for calibration and maintenance purposes. In addition the adjustment is simplified and once made it stays in position. Similar principles can be applied to other types of nozzles and arrangements wherein another type of fluid, or even light, is issued out.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a system and method that integrates the various steps involved in creating and managing one or more investment portfolios comprised of multiple disparate financial assets, thereby allowing a usr to navigate from need, to insight, to investing and transacting in a logical and straightforward manner. Questionnaires are used to profile each user of the system to determine risk tolerance, time horizon, investment experience, etc. Using the profile and other questions presented to the user, the system generates a recommended asset allocation, which may form the basis of a financial portfolio. The user may construct a portfolio using the financial assets contained in the recommended asset allocation, or select individual assets for inclusion in the portfolio. Upon construction of a portfolio, the system provides tools to monitor and manage the portfolio through the buying and selling of financial assets.

Abstract: A device for displaying an article which comprises a front frame part, a back frame part and a decorative covering over the face of the front frame part and held thereon by reason of clamping engagement of interfitting rims on the two parts with the decorative covering. The parts have aligned openings for viewing the article, such openings being covered by a transparent sheet for protecting the article. Supporting means for the frame assembly is secured to the back part and includes an easel which may have a loop for suspending the frame assembly or includes a stand. The easel or the stand are shaped so as to provide a cavity between it and the back part for receiving the article and the protective sheet.
