  • Publication number: 20220318911
    Abstract: A computerized recommendation system for trading securities listed in various stock exchanges which comprise of at least one processor configured to compute and store in a non-transitory memory system, multiple momentum indicators for each of a plurality of securities. The system processes the momentum indicators to shortlist securities, among the plurality of securities, that either have all their respective momentum indicators indicating a positive trend or a negative trend. The system processes data corresponding to the shortlisted securities, to identify and extract investment-worthy securities from the list of shortlisted securities, based on predefined criteria the user may use this list of investment-worthy securities to make investment decisions. The system determines at least a pair of current optimized exit price for each of the investment-worthy securities by processing historic data respective to each of the investment-worthy securities.

  • Patent number: 11157443
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for managing history metadata of a file. The method may include accessing a first file with delta information. The method may also include determining a portion of the first file to be moved. The method may also include reviewing the delta information of the first file for changes to the portion in the delta information. The method may also include, in response to reviewing the delta information, generating a portion delta history for the portion. The method may also include inserting the portion in a position in a second file, where the portion is inserted with the portion delta history. The method may also include generating new delta information for the second file, where the new delta information includes the portion delta history of the inserted portion.

  • Patent number: 8510346
    Abstract: One aspect of the present invention can include a method, a computer program product, an apparatus, and a system for handling Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) updates to entities. The aspect can receive at least one update to be applied to a UDDI entity within a UDDI registry. Each received update can be applied to the related UDDI entity. At least one subscriber of the updated entity can be determined. A status indicator for each detected subscriber can be changed to indicate that a subscription to the entity has been deleted, wherein the change to the status indicator negates a need to scan the subscriptions associated with the entity for each received update to the entity.

  • Publication number: 20070032989
    Abstract: A facility for managing information collected from remote sources, such as remote telemetry devices, is provided. The facility may allow for the configuration of information collection schemes that enable users to customize how the collected information is managed. For example, the facility may allow the user to set rules, specify parameters, and set thresholds that apply to the collection and/or presentation of the collected information. Through the use of data agents or the like, the facility may allow for the concurrent use of multiple remote device types having different platforms. The facility may also allow for the collection and/or aggregation of information originating from multiple distinct environments.
