Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling a smoke generator. The smoke generator is adapted to be connected to a supply of a pressurized gas and a supply of a smoke liquid and further comprises a valve to regulate the pressure of the gas, a fluid driving means, a mixing unit for mixing the smoke liquid and the gas, and a heat exchanger heating the mixture of the pressurized gas and the smoke liquid to vaporize the smoke liquid and form a smoke upon ejection into surrounding air. The control method according to the invention then comprises the steps of receiving a smoke density parameter indicative of a desired amount of smoke to be generated by the smoke generator, measuring a gas pressure at a position between the valve and the heat exchanger, and using these parameters in controlling the valve. The invention further relates to a smoke generator arranged for performing the control method.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for generating financial report information comprises receiving customer information associated with an account portfolio from a customer information database. The account portfolio comprises one or more customer accounts. A change in value for each of the one or more customer accounts is determined over a defined period. The one or more transactions represent asset activity associated with one or more customer accounts. One or more account rates of return are determined for each of the one or more customer accounts over the defined period. A portfolio rate of return is determined for the customer's account portfolio over the defined period. The portfolio rate of return and the one or more account rates of return are communicated to a reporting system.
