Abstract: A data hub of a home automation system is powered by a power supply of at least one powered device of the home automation system that is connected to the data hub. By providing power to the data hub from the one of the devices that are connected to it, the need for a separate power source is eliminated. A method for powering a data hub of a home-automation system without bus power includes connecting at least two independently powered devices to device ports of the data hub. When the powered devices are connected to the ports, a voltage is detected by an internal power regulation, protection and distribution unit of the hub and disconnects bus power. A system for powering the data hub includes configuring the hub to receive power by devices connected thereto. When the hub receives power from the powered device, bus power is disconnected.

Abstract: Market data is monitored for purposes of canceling orders for financial articles of trade. Real-time data is collected from multiple liquidity destinations trading at least one financial article of trade. The real-time data comprises disparate data corresponding to associated liquidity destinations. The collected real-time data is normalized into a standardized form. A condition is defined of a trading market that includes one or both of submitted and executed transactions of financial articles of trade over the multiple liquidity destinations. The condition is associated with an entity. Through monitoring of the normalized real-time data, an event is identified in the trading market that matches the condition. Upon identification of the condition, at least one communication session between the entity and a corresponding liquidity destination is terminated causing a process at the corresponding liquidity destination to cancel pending or outstanding orders for financial articles of trades from the entity.
