Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described that are configured for dynamically adjusting the governance structure for cryptographically secured instruments. One or more parameters associated with an indication of an ownership of at least one digital asset of a plurality of assets. An attribute associated with each digital asset maybe adjusted based on the one or more parameters associated with the at least one indication of the ownership of the at least one digital asset of the plurality of digital assets.

Abstract: The provision of parametric D&O insurance and reinsurance policies is afforded by systems and methods for determining one or more parametric indices of the risk arising from aggregate litigation activity, which risk is correlated with the financial exposures (e.g., payment cash flows) of the insureds' exposed to such claims, and of the insurers who provide primary D&O insurance coverage. A parametric index is for a given policy is determined from a set of parameters that define the type, scope, timing of litigation activity for the index, as well as details how the index values are determined from the underlying litigation exposure. The system and method further determine whether payments are due under such a policy and their amounts.

Abstract: System and method for facilitating matter management within an access controlled environment. The system and method include and involve an access control facility accessible via a global data processing network and is configured to maintain user information and to permit or deny a user to enter an access controlled environment within a data processing environment and to perform user operations within the access controlled environment. Also included and involved is a matter management facility operable within the access controlled environment and which is coupled to the access control facility. The matter management facility is configured to store and maintain matter data in the context of a transaction to be processed within the access controlled environment. An authentication facility is operable within the access controlled environment and is configured to authenticate the matter data based on an authentication scheme corresponding to the transaction.

Abstract: System and method for facilitating initiation and disposition of an online motion (e.g., a motion filed and processed within the context of a legal proceeding, etc.) within an access controlled environment within the context of a court proceeding. The system and method include and involve an access control facility accessible via a global data processing network and configured to maintain user information, and to permit or deny a user to enter an access controlled environment within a data processing environment and to perform user operations within the access controlled environment related to the online motion. A transaction management facility is operable within the access controlled environment and is coupled to the access control facility, and is configured to store and maintain transaction data based on online motion, the user operations, and a security scheme.

Abstract: System and method for facilitating creation and management of contractual relationships and corresponding contracts online within an access controlled environment. The system and method include and involve a service facility configured to establish access controlled environments. The access controlled environments permit users to engage in secure online operations related to binding contracts between transaction parties. Also included and involved is a data storage facility that is coupled to the service facility and that permits users (transaction parties) to store and access data related to the binding contracts within the access controlled environments managed by and within the service facility. The data storage facility includes a master transaction agreement database and a contract database.

Abstract: The reinforcing fibers in a printed circuit board laminate are arranged in an ordered manner to leave fiber-free zones for the formation of holes. The holes may be oblong to enhance the connection to electrical leads of components mounted on the printed circuit board. The holes may be oriented with their long dimensions transverse to the side of an electrical component, and the electrical component may have its leads correspondingly oriented, to improve wiring flexibility and allow more direct wiring paths.
