Abstract: Method, apparatus, and system may control chronological sequencing of data items received from a plurality of client computing devices, according to times of completion of transmission respectively from the client computing devices and distributing the data items according to the chronological sequencing to one or more destination computing devices with minimal latency. In an exemplary implementation, trade orders from participant computing devices may be distributed by an electronic trading platform with minimal latency to exchange gateways, based on time of transmission of the trade orders to the platform instead of time of receipt of the trade orders by the platform, thereby avoiding unfairness to those participants whose computing devices are located at greater distances from the platform than other computing devices respectively of other participants.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a processor to process streaming data. The processor includes a TCP client circuit and a TCP server circuit. A fanout circuit is communicatively coupled to the TCP client circuit and the TCP server circuit. The fanout circuit receives data from the TCP client circuit, determines a rate at which to transmit the received market data, and instructs the TCP server circuit to send the received data at the determined rate.

Abstract: Design analysis for framework assessment is described. In one or more example embodiments, a file including a designed image is obtained from a storage device, and a guide structure is extracted from the file. The guide structure, for instance, includes multiple guide lines, and the guide lines are analyzed to determine column-related data, such as at least relative widths or positional orders, a total number of columns, groups of column widths, a combination thereof, and so forth. From multiple frameworks, a framework is ascertained that substantially matches the guide structure based at least partially on a comparison of column-related data to each framework of the multiple frameworks. Ascertainment of a framework, for example, is indicated to an end-user. The ascertained framework is applicable to facilitate development of a coded functional version of at least a visual design of the image.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for mechanically loading a biological sample. The apparatus comprises: a container for housing the biological sample; a ferromagnetic element, for attachment to the biological sample within the container; and a solenoid for generating a magnetic field within the container, so as to apply a force to the ferromagnetic element. The solenoid is configured, when energised by a constant current, to produce a force on the ferromagnetic element that varies by less than a predetermined amount over a predetermined range of movement of the magnet within the container. A method of mechanically loading a biological sample is also disclosed.

Abstract: A mobile device has a front face and a back face opposite the front face. The back face includes an elastomeric layer. A pair of longitudinal sides are coupled to the front face and back face, and a pair of latitudinal sides are also coupled to the front face and back face. The back face or the longitudinal sides define a recessed slot extending along a longitudinal length of the back face or longitudinal sides, respectively. The recessed slot defines an open end at at least one of the latitudinal sides. The recessed slot has a recessed slot surface that has a low-friction material. A holster includes a pocket defining an open top end configured to receive the mobile device. A rail extends longitudinally along an interior side of the pocket. The rail is configured to correspond with and slidably engage the slot on the mobile device.
