Patent number: 8577778Abstract: Methods and systems for replicating derivatives strategies and for trading derivatives strategies in a demand-based trading market are described. In one embodiment, a set of contingent claims are created to replicate a derivatives strategy. One or more parameters of a contingent claim in the replication set may be determined as a function of one or more parameters of a derivatives strategy and an outcome of the event. An investment amount for a contingent claim in the replication set may be determined as a function of one or more parameters of the contingent claim and a total amount invested in a demand-based auction. In other embodiments, derivatives strategies and/or financial products are enabled to be traded in a demand-based auction and are offered to customers and/or traded in the auction.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2002Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Longitude LLCInventors: Jeffrey Lange, Kenneth Charles Baron

Patent number: 8489484Abstract: Methods for providing remainder interests with protection to a seller and mitigation of the potential consequences suffered by related financial instruments. The protected remainder interest financial instrument includes submitting a seller to underwriting to accurately determine the seller's remaining life expectancy, and purchasing the protected remainder interest of an illiquid asset from the seller leaving the seller with a life estate. The method includes a client system for displaying information related to the transaction and inputting information related to the seller, illiquid asset, and the buyer. The client system is used to create a request to create the protected remainder interest. A server system accepts the request, stores the information in memory, and creates the protected remainder interest.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2008Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: Guggenheim Partners, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Lange, Jeffrey Lewis

Patent number: 8370249Abstract: Methods and systems for engaging in enhanced parimutuel wagering and gaming. In one embodiment, different types of bets can be offered and processed in the same betting pool on an underlying event, such as a horse or dog race, a sporting event or a lottery, and the premiums and payouts of these different types of bets can be determined in the same betting pool, by configuring an equivalent combination of fundamental bets for each type of bet, and performing a demand-based valuation of each of the fundamental bets in the equivalent combination. In another embodiment, bettors can place bets in the betting pool with limit odds on the selected outcome of the underlying event. The bets with limit odds are not filled in whole or in part, unless the final odds on the selected outcome of the underlying event are equal to or greater than the limit odds.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Longitude LLCInventors: Jeffrey Lange, Kenneth Charles Baron, Charles Walden, Marcus Harte

Patent number: 8126794Abstract: Methods and systems for trading and replicating contingent claims, such as derivatives strategies, in a demand-based auction are described. In one embodiment, a set of demand-based claims, each of which can be a vanilla option or a digital option, approximate or replicate the contingent claim into a vanilla replicating basis or a digital replicating basis, and the order for the contingent claim is then evaluated or processed in the demand-based auction. In another embodiment, a plurality of strikes and a plurality of replicating claims are established for a demand-based auction on an event, one or more replicating claims striking at each of the strikes in the auction. A contingent claim, such as a derivatives strategy, is replicated with a replication set that includes one or more of the replicating claims in the auction. The equilibrium price and/or the payout for the derivatives strategy is determined as a function of the demand-based valuation of each of the replicating claims in the replication set.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2003Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Longitude LLCInventors: Jeffrey Lange, Kenneth Charles Baron, Charles Walden, Marcus Harte

Patent number: 7775739Abstract: A method for shaking vehicles comprises driving them over a series of appropriately spaced-apart, mutually parallel bars to vigorously shake the wheels, undercarriage, and body to free them of dirt, gravel and debris. An apparatus may have bars with the appropriate spacing. A track may include a frame and the spaced-apart bars may form part of the frame. The track may be large enough to accommodate all the wheels of a vehicle at once. Alternatively, smaller tracks may be flexibly connected end-to-end to form a shaker that will receive right and left hand wheels of the vehicle on respective rows. The shaker may be deployed onto a bed of aggregate that is sufficiently coarse to allow the fallen dirt to sift or be washed through the bed of aggregate. The aggregate may also assist in holding the shaker in place and may provide ramps at the ends of the shaker.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2007Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Inventor: Jeffrey Lange
