Abstract: A client terminal displays a trading screen interface and an annotation interface in relation to the trading screen interface. The annotation interface allows a trader to enter trade-related annotations in a quick and efficient manner or flag a predetermined time and input annotations to be associated with the flagged time a later time, while the trading screen interface allows the trader to make trades at the most favorable prices and in a speedy manner. The annotation interface may alternatively not be displayed and allow for audio input.

Abstract: A medical navigation system is provided including a surgical positioning system for positioning a payload during a medical procedure. The medical navigation system has a robotic arm having a plurality of joints, the robotic arm forming part of the surgical positioning system and having an end effector for holding the payload, an input device for providing input, and a controller electrically coupled to the robotic arm and the input device.

Abstract: There are provided plants of Papaver somniferum for the production of codeine, methods for providing the plants, and poppy straw, concentrate of poppy straw, latex, opium and codeine from the plants. The plants have codeine as the predominant alkaloid. Also disclosed are plants in which a stably inheritable high codeine chemotype trait is linked to a recessive trait for lighter leaf colour. Methods of producing such plants through the exposure of parent plant lines to mutagenizing agents are also disclosed.

Abstract: A ferrule holder for a tool for processing an end face of an optical fiber held by a ferrule of an optical fiber connector is disclosed. The ferrule holder includes first and second confronting faceplates, with the first face plate operably arranged with the tool. The first and second face plates are configured to magnetically engage while being kinematically aligned. The second face place is configured to receive the optical fiber connector and the ferrule therein so that the end face of the optical fiber resides immediately adjacent an aperture of the first face plate. Light from a light source in the tool is directed through the aperture to process the fiber end. The second face plate can be disengaged from the first face plate and replaced with another second face plate configured to accommodate a ferrule having a different size.

Abstract: A method making an oil field mat from a plurality of synthetic board to create a tri-layer oil field mat usable to support trucks, equipment, and personnel around a derrick, or a Christmas tree having central couplers and end caps.

Abstract: An end cap assembly for interlocking with an oil field mat usable to support trucks, equipment and personnel around a drilling rig. The end cap assembly having an elongated base layer, a base layer coupler, a top layer, a middle layer, a plurality of holes, a plurality of fasteners and a plurality of coupler fasteners. Each coupler fastener can be disposed through the holes in the board of the end cap assembly to form a base layer coupler to create a tri-layer oil field mat.

Abstract: An oil field mat assembly having a pair of interlocking full mats connected by interlocking half mats. Each full mat has a bottom layer, a bottom interlocking segment formed on the bottom layer, a middle layer, an alignment control means, a top layer, a top interlocking segment formed on the top layer on the same side that the top layer connects to the middle layer, and an anti-curling bar.
