Patent number: 11553579Abstract: A multiway switching device may comprise a wireless device in communication with a relay and a manual switch of the device. A toggle state of the relay may be indicative of an electrical configuration between conductors and rectifier circuits of the multiway switching device. The wireless device may receive, from the manual switch or from an external device, a signal indicative of a modification to the toggle state of the relay. Based on the signal, the wireless device may cause the modification to the toggle state of the relay. The wireless device may cause output of a status signal indicative of the modification to the toggle state of the relay.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2018Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: iControl Networks, Inc.Inventors: Jim Johnson, Kenneth Egan

Patent number: 8838821Abstract: Including support for advanced protocols in propagation information transferred between applications. Transaction managers associated with the applications communicate with each other to complete a transaction. Rather than communicating using a standard protocol, embodiments of the invention enable a first transaction manager to identify advanced protocols supported by the first transaction manager to a second transaction manager using existing propagation tokens. The second transaction manager selects one of the supported protocols to communicate with the first transaction manager to complete the transaction.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Max Feingold, Jim Johnson

Patent number: 8380614Abstract: A system and method is provided to enable traders to price improve on an item at an amount less than a predetermined pricing increment. Traders can improve on the price of the item using different price improvement levels (e.g., four different levels). Dynamic price improvement enables a dynamic order to maintain a predetermined position in a trading stack relative to other orders in the stack. The dynamic order may maintain its position in the trading stack by adjusting (e.g., increasing or decreasing) its price improvement level depending on market conditions. For example, a dynamic order may increases its price improvement level such that it stays at least one level ahead of the next best order in the trading stack. If the level cannot be further increased, the dynamic order may use its timestamp to maintain its position in the stack.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2011Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: BGC Partners, Inc.Inventors: Michael Sweeting, Jim Johnson
