Abstract: A gas flare for burning waste gas comprises a stack with an upper chimney space, a lower combustion chamber, and a burner having one or more flame outlets positioned in the combustion chamber. A primary combustion air intake of the burner is in fluid communication with an ambient air intake to source primary combustion air therefrom. An airflow control device resides in a position operable to regulate secondary air flow from the ambient air intake to the flame outlet of the burner without obstructing the primary combustion air intake of said burner. The stack features a double hull design to preheat the ambient air as it travels to the burner, and a liquid containment/vaporization chamber is installed below the burner in heat exchange relationship with the preheated airflow path to the burner, whereby the chamber is warmed by the pre-heated combustion air and radiant heat from the combustion chamber.

Abstract: A system and method for creating event-driven financial transactions may include: a web service in communication with a plurality of users, the web service operatively coupled to a strategy database storing a plurality of pending transactions and an event database storing identification information about a plurality of transaction triggering events. The web service may be in communication with a data parser that is configured to receive data from one or more sources, convert the data into a format usable by the system, and transmit the converted data to the event database. The system may be in communication with a separate server to which transactions from server or client side matching engines are sent, and the strategy database may receive and at least temporarily store those transactions until the server is ready to receive and store them. Strategy triggers may come from various places, including from the user.

Abstract: A method and system for creating event-driven financial transactions, which may include a data parser configured to receive large amounts of data from one or more sources pertaining to various indicators, a graphical user interface for receiving inputs from a user to build a transaction factoring in the value or change in value of a selected indicator, and a strategy engine for evaluating the transaction to determine whether to attempt to fill the order or take no action. One or more indicators may be used as transaction precursors, and an indicator change may be a precursor to one or more transactions. Transactions may be generated with respect to generally real-time market conditions or market conditions at some time distinct from the time the transaction request is received. The system also may allow the user to generate a warning system to alert the user to potentially undesirable trades.

Abstract: A method and system for creating event-driven financial transactions, which may include a data parser configured to receive large amounts of data from one or more sources pertaining to various indicators, such as economic indicators, a graphical user interface for receiving inputs from a user to build a transaction factoring in the value or change in value of a selected indicator, and a strategy engine for evaluating the transaction to determine whether to attempt to fill the order or take no action. The method and system may be used to create both standard and limit orders, and the system may include a user-modifiable gradient display to allow the user to evaluate the relative likelihood of a proposed limit order. The event or trigger may be related to the item to be traded, e.g., earnings per share of a stock to be traded, or may be substantially unrelated to the item, e.g., a change in a country's GDP.
