Patent number: 8756130Abstract: Disclosed herein in a preferred embodiment is an automated financial instrument brokerage system wherein a front end layer interacts with customers to generate activity requests for an intermediate layer. The intermediate layer preferably processes the activity requests and places financial instrument orders on a financial market if appropriate. A backend layer preferably provides data to the intermediate layer for processing activity requests. Multiple heterogeneous front end customer applications may be supported by the same intermediate layer. Further, multiple backend layer applications may interact with the intermediate layer in a manner transparent to the front end layer. Further, scalability can be achieved be partitioning various tasks of the intermediate layer onto separate servers, and more preferably on separate redundant servers. Load balancers may then be used in the intermediate layer to provide distributed access to these servers.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2009Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: Scottrade, Inc.Inventors: Michael James Tully, Virgil Michael Scott

Patent number: 8069138Abstract: In an automated financial instrument brokerage system, during a first interval, data relating to option trades is stored in an old customer account database and data relating to equity trades is stored in a new customer account database. Also, customer account data is retrieved from both the old and new databases in response to activity requests. During a second interval, data relating to option trades and equity trades is stored in the new database and customer account data is retrieved from both the old and new databases in response to activity requests. After the second interval expires, the content of the old database is copied into the new database, data relating to option trades and equity trades is stored in the new database, and customer account data is retrieved from the new database in response to activity requests. The first and second intervals define a settlement period for equity trades.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2008Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Scottrade, Inc.Inventors: Michael James Tully, Virgil Michael Scott, Dwayne Oliver Randle, Gregory Paul Lembree

Patent number: 5676980Abstract: A center split, segmented mold for curing a complete tire is provided, comprising a mold container top containing a top mold sidewall plate and a plurality of top tread segments disposed generally equidistant from a central axis and adjacently abutting each other when the mold is in a closed position; and a mold container bottom containing a bottom mold sidewall plate and a plurality of bottom tread segments disposed generally equidistant from the axis and adjacently abutting each other when the mold is in a closed position. Each of the top and bottom tread segments are resiliently biased toward the mold centerline by spring mechanisms, and are slidably coupled to respective frustoconical surfaces of the mold container, such that vertical movement of the mold container top along the axis from a closed position to an open position is translated into outward radial movement of the top and bottom tread segments away from the axis.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1995Date of Patent: October 14, 1997Assignee: Continental General Tire, Inc.Inventors: Ronald J.
