Abstract: Data transaction-specific data packets transmitted over a data communications network from a plurality of source computer nodes are processed. A first data packet communication session is established between one source computer node and one destination computer node to transport data transaction specific data packets over a first path through the data communications network. A second alternative data packet communication session is established between the one source computer node and the one destination computer node to transport data transaction specific data packets over a second path that is different from and bypasses the first path. When a condition based on the data transaction-specific data packets is identified, electronic processing circuitry initiates an alteration of the first data packet communication session.

Abstract: This invention relates in general to the field of safety devices, and more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to systems and methods for providing advanced warning and risk evasion when hazardous conditions exist. In one embodiment, a vicinity monitoring unit is provided for monitoring, for example, oncoming traffic near a construction zone. In some embodiments, the vicinity monitoring unit may be mounted onto a construction vehicle to monitor nearby traffic and send a warning signal if hazardous conditions exist. In some embodiments, personnel tracking units may be worn by construction workers and the personnel tracking units may be in communication with the vicinity monitoring unit. In some embodiments, a base station is provided for monitoring activities taking place in or near a construction site including monitoring the locations of various personnel and vehicles within the construction site.

Abstract: Example embodiments include a method and system for managing intraday risk conditions. Data transaction specific data messages transmitted over a data communications network from a plurality of source nodes trading an article of trade with a plurality of destination nodes are processed. The messages include account parameter information. Intraday risk condition data is associated in memory with entity identification data associated with an entity. Using the entity identification data, account parameter information included in the processed data transaction specific data messages is identified that matches the intraday risk condition data for the entity. In response to an identified match, a data transaction involving the entity submitted via a communication session to a corresponding one of the plurality of destination nodes is modified to reduce intraday risk for the entity associated with the data transaction.

Abstract: The technology described in this application allows a system to manage entities/users and associated Financial Articles of Trade (“FAT”) with different trading systems, institutions and entities. In particular, an Open Order Manager (“OOM”) manages a plurality of users in a user group, and preferably in real-time, monitors FAT transactions initiated and executed by the users. The OOM enables allocation and dynamic reallocation of the FAT amounts between and among “nodes” (e.g., a financial system or financial institution) which can include any subcomponent arrangement that has internal permission privileges which are not shared among other nodes but all of which are under control or ownership of a common party in interest.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a method and system associated with financial articles of trade may include comparing relevant portions of data pertaining to an attempted transaction, wherein the transaction may pertain to one in which an entity is financially liable but unaware. At least one embodiment includes monitoring market transaction activity data to determine when a trading entity has exceeded an aggregated limit, such as one or more trading sub-limits corresponding to one or more custodial prime brokers facilitating trading for the trading entity. At least one embodiment includes a pre-trade gateway to determine if an order violates a pre-trade risk based on information collected by a front-end analyzer. Possible actions include, but are not limited to, placing a null order, terminating a connection associated with the order, modifying the order so as not to violate a pre-trade risk check, and/or notifications to one or more entities.

Abstract: A quad roller skate for use on outdoor surfaces that has a unified structure that includes a quad boot permanently secured to a horizontal support plate and skate forward and rearward trucks permanently secured to the support plate. The front and rear left and right skates lie in left and right vertical planes spaced from the maximum side edges of the boot. The skate wheels have apexes that extend to a horizontal plane at least as high as the plane of the horizontal support plate and can extend higher. Each of the wheels preferably are thin width wheels and have semi-circular profiles.

Abstract: This is a description of a quad roller skate for use on outdoor surfaces, including a traditional roller skate boot with a stiff sole, with the sole bottom, and the heel bottom being in general alignment with an imaginary horizontal plane. The sole and boot of the skate have opposed side edges with the wheels being positioned in vertical planes spaced from the opposed side edges. The wheels of the quad skate are of such diameter that each wheel apex is at least as high as the imaginary horizontal plane. The wheels can have larger diameters with the apexes being higher than the horizontal plane. A support plate is secured to the sole bottom and the heel bottom. Double action forward and rearward trucks with front and rear axles are mounted to the support plate. The skate has thin lightweight wheels having profiles defining a semicircular surface.
