  • Publication number: 20240221077
    Abstract: Methods and systems for verifying securities-based offers are provided. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving security transaction data reflecting transactions of a plurality of securities within a securities account. A particular security may be identified that corresponds to an offer. A holding period of one or more shares of the particular security may be determined. The offer may be verified based on the holding period and may be transmitted to a first computing device associated with the securities account.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 9652586
    Abstract: An area of research in the field of bioinformatics deals with the identification of similarities within one, or between two DNA sequences. Current techniques are quite slow and many matches are missed. The invention provides a faster and more sensitive solution, by using “optimized spaced seeds” to perform these biological sequence homology searches. Various techniques are shown for identifying seeds which are optimized to improve the sensitivity or speed of the searching. In the preferred embodiment, optimized spaced seeds are determined by the parameters of the search and independent of the actual databases being searched (for example, using the length and weight of the spaced seed, as well as the probability of a hit in a similar region). Thus, these optimized seeds can be stored in libraries which are accessed as required.
