The price term may include a formula arrangement or reference to a formula arrangement for calculating a fractional exposure of the entity to the commodity on each date in which an event affecting commodity transaction occurs. Each of these fractional exposures may be calculated for each commodity transaction and stored as separate entries in a data structure. The entries may then be updated, queried, and/or reorganized to generate an exposure position.

Abstract: A method is provided for degassing a transport chamber (1) of a metering pump. The method is based on performing impulse generation, wherein gas bubbles arising from the gas-forming fluid and adhering to the inner surfaces in the transport chamber (1) are released from the surfaces, wherein the gas bubbles (4.4?, 8.8?) present in the transport chamber (1) accumulate, perform a motion (c) in the direction of the pressure valve (6), and form an accumulated gas bubble (7) on the transport chamber side of the pressure valve (6). An increase in pressure causes the accumulated gas bubble present at the pressure valve (6) to escape from the transport chamber (1) as discharged gas bubbles (7?) into the pressure line. A metering pump having a device present in the transport chamber for performing the impulse generation is also provided.

The financial object number may be sent to a selector module associated with the selector key. The selector module may read a selector strategy key stored within the financial object. A processor programmed by the selector module may retrieve a set of position values associated with the financial object based, at least in part, on the selector strategy key. A mapping module may be chosen by the selector module based upon a financial instrument type. The mapping module may store the position values within the financial object. A price calculator may generate a key figure for each of the position values. A list of the position values may be displayed to a user on a display device.

Abstract: A metering pump assembly includes a metering space (6) and a displacement body (8) which is linearly movable via a conrod (10). A helical spring (20) designed as a compression spring (20) impinges the conrod (10) with a force in a movement direction. The helical spring (20) at at least one axial end (24) is designed such that in a relaxed condition an end (26) of a spring wire projects axially with respect to a connecting winding (28).

Abstract: ocation-mapped environments that provide panoramic and immersive views of street scenes are augmented with modern data visualization displays, to communicate additional information of interest. Specifically, illumination statistics information is mapped onto building facades in the location-mapped environments. The illumination statistics information can include variations of illumination as a function of time of a day and as a function of the season. The illumination statistics information can also include direct illumination statistics information and indirect illumination statistics information. Further, the illumination statistics can be calculated for any window on a building façade to determine natural lighting through that window. The illumination statistics can be employed, for example, to aid users in selection of real estate properties for rental or purchase.
