Abstract: A method is provided for a virtual floor trading implemented via an exchange computer system. The method includes maintaining a virtual environment that facilitates audio-visual interaction between a plurality of remote market participants; establishing a secure connection with a computing device; receiving, from the computing device, information relating to a financial instrument transaction order; providing the information relating to the financial instrument transaction order to the plurality of remote market participants; receiving a response to the financial instrument transaction order from at least one remote market participant from among the plurality of remote market participants; providing information relating to the response to the plurality of remote market participants; and facilitating a transaction based on the information relating to the financial instrument transaction order, the information relating to the response, and one or more order matching rules.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to utilizing unmanned vehicles for insurance claim processing. For example, a UAV may be directed to proceed to a property, collect damage data, and, based on analysis of the data, determine whether additional damage is occurring. Additional data can be collected in response to the determination. Data can be collected from a sensor within the property as well as a sensor of the UAV.

Abstract: A method for virtual floor trading implemented via an exchange system includes establishing a secure connection with a first market participant and transmitting, to a first to a computing device associated with a first market participant, data causing a graphical user interface (GUI) of the computing device to render a graphical representation of a virtual trading floor associated with the exchange system. The method also includes receiving a first order and transmitting, to a second computing device associated with a second market participant, data causing a GUI of the second computing device to render a second graphical representation of the virtual trading floor comprising a first virtual trader associated with the first market participant. The method includes receiving, from the second computing device, a second order, determining that the second order matches the first order, and executing a transaction based on the first order and the second order.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to utilizing unmanned vehicles for insurance claim processing. For example, a UAV may be directed to proceed to a target location, which obstructions to avoid and how to avoid them, and what data needs to be gathered about the target. Thus, one or more embodiments described herein relate to navigating to a target location based on receiving a first location of the vehicle and a second location of the target, avoiding obstructions, gathering data about a structure at the target, and initiating an insurance claim.

Abstract: Unmanned vehicles can be terrestrial, aerial, nautical, or multi-mode. Unmanned vehicles may be used to survey a property in response to or in anticipation of damage to the property. For example, an unmanned vehicle may analyze information about the property and based on the information initiate an insurance claim for damage to the property.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a conduit includes providing a processor and receiving schematic information. The method also includes computing, using the processor, at least one three-dimensional configuration for the conduit and printing the conduit having the computed at least one three-dimensional configuration.

Abstract: A method of repairing a conduit includes generating, from a sensor, a signal representative of an unmanufactured opening in the conduit. The conduit includes a liner material positioned therein. The liner material is operatively engaged to the sensor. The method also includes sealing the unmanufactured opening using the liner material upon generation of the signal by the sensor.
