Abstract: Methods and systems to prevent adverse exchange limit effects are disclosed. An example method of message management includes tracking, at a gateway, a transaction count of trade messages communicated to an exchange via an exchange link. The example method includes defining a first transaction limit based on the transaction count, and calculating a second transaction limit as a function of the first transaction limit, wherein the second transaction limit is to correspond to a reserve capacity associated with the exchange link. The example method includes assigning a message priority to each of a plurality of trade messages to communicate to the exchange. The example method includes communicating trade messages of the plurality of trade messages having a first message priority to the exchange when the transaction count is greater than the second transaction limit, and delaying or rejecting trade messages of the plurality of trade messages having a second message priority.

Abstract: Examples of the systems and methods described herein relate to reducing latency issues associated with playing online digital video on client devices. An example method includes: determining that a client device of a user is displaying a web page; determining a likelihood that the user will select content on the web page associated with a digital video; and determining that the likelihood exceeds a threshold and, based thereon, performing at least one of the following steps before the user selects the content: initiating a mediation process to identify the digital video associated with the content; unwrapping a video tag associated with the digital video; storing at least a portion of the digital video on the client device; stitching the digital video together with a second digital video; and/or initializing a video player for displaying the digital video on the client device.

Abstract: A power-distribution system can detect a transmission-line electrical fault, and the power source can be electrically isolated from the transmission line before a human or equipment is substantially harmed or damaged. A controller on the source side is responsive to one or more sensors that provide a signal indicative of the voltage across the transmitter side of the transmission line. A source-disconnect device operable by the controller electrically isolates the source from the transmission line. A signal-generator circuit is configured to superimpose a higher-wavelength carrier waveform with the source-output waveform on the transmission line. The controller determines the normal impedance of the transmission line from measurement and detects a transmission-line fault, as indicated by a change in carrier waveform reflections or energy content of the carrier waveform and generates a command to open the source-disconnect device upon detection of the fault.

Abstract: Mediation data may be prefetched to reduce latency associated with presentation of digital media. Prior to the selection of online content associated with presentation of digital media in a media space, a mediation process may be initiated. Initiating the mediation process may include prefetching mediation data from a remote server, wherein the mediation data includes a media tag corresponding to a particular media item and valuation data indicative of a value of presenting the particular media item in the media space. After the selection of the online content, the mediation process may be completed. Completing the mediation process may include sending the mediation data to a remote allocation manager, and receiving allocation data indicative of a digital media item to be presented in the media space. Subsequent to the completion of the mediation process, the digital media item identified by the allocation data may be presented in the media space.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for advantageously relocating graphical digital content on a screen of a client device. The technique can include displaying a dynamic content at a particular location on the screen of a client device (e.g., inline with an article displayed on a webpage). Upon determination that a relocation condition exists (e.g., a viewability of the inline dynamic content drops below a particular threshold), the dynamic content can be relocated to another location on the screen. In some instances, rather than being relocated to a static, previously determined position, the dynamic content can be dynamically relocated, based on the location of the other content.

Abstract: A method for transmitting node data in a wireless meshed network from a plurality of wireless nodes to at least one consolidating node includes assigning each of the plurality of wireless nodes to one of a plurality of node pools and causing each of the plurality of wireless nodes to transmit node data to one or more other wireless nodes and/or the at least one consolidating node during the assigned time slots. Each wireless node transmits its node data during timeslots which are adjacent to timeslots during which a wireless node from another node pool transmits its node data. The node data for each wireless node includes data originating at the wireless node and node data received from another wireless node of the same node pool which are linearly aggregated using network coding.

Abstract: A method for distributed pod-editing may be performed by an enhanced pod editor, and may include the following steps: receiving a framework for a pod, wherein the framework identifies one or more content items already assigned to one or more slots in the pod by one or more pod editors; determining attributes of the content items already assigned to the pod in a native taxonomy of the enhanced pod editor; determining restrictions on the pod's slots based on the attributes of the content items already assigned to the pod and on the pod's editorial constraints; rejecting content items already assigned to the pod that violate the restrictions on the pod's slots (if any); identifying candidate content items that comply with the restrictions on the pod's unfilled slots (if any), and selecting candidate content items and assigning the selected content items to the pod's unfilled slots.

Abstract: Systems and methods to obfuscate market data on a trading device are disclosed. An example method includes receiving market data related to a tradeable object at a first computing device, generating, by the first computing device, a trading interface to present the market data to a trader and reconfiguring the trading interface from a first mode to a second mode in response to a privacy command supplied by the trader via the first computing device. The first computing device is to obfuscate the market data presented by the trading interface when in the second mode. The example method includes receiving, by a second computing device, the obfuscated market data in response to the privacy command and generating, by the second computing device, a private interface to present the obfuscated market data to the trader in response to the privacy command.
