Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for automated call cross trade imbalance execution. Techniques described herein may provide an automated crossing solution for buy-side clients that limits position information to banks and individuals prior to setting a benchmark rate for foreign exchange. In some embodiments, clients may roll forward spot trades with a chosen counterparty bank, which is then sent to a centralized, automated, bank platform. Techniques described herein may offer a multi-bank platform solution that accepts trades, validates trades, performs credit checks, and executes trades in a manner that limits knowledge of position information prior to setting a benchmark rate. Further, proposed techniques include determining a trade imbalance and automatically executing the determined trade imbalance in a manner such that market impact is minimalized.

Abstract: An asset management system can be configured to receive at least a portion of a plurality of data and to determine a concentricity of at least one of the rotor or stator. The rotor or stator concentricity can be a vector including an amplitude and an angle and can characterizes a difference between a location of a predetermined center point and a location of a geometric center point of the rotor or stator, respectively. The system can also receive a concentricity vector selection including at least one of the rotor concentricity vector or the stator concentricity vector and can receive a selection of one of the correlated operating parameters. A plot format selection can be received and a graphical user interface (GUI) including a plot can be generated. The plot can include a portion of the selected concentricity vector as a function of the selected correlated operating parameter.

Abstract: Fiber webs that may be coated and used in filter media are provided. In some embodiments, the fiber web is a non-woven web that is coated with a resin comprising fibers. For example, the resin may include fibers that have sizes (e.g., diameters) in the nano or micron range. In some cases, the fibers distributed within the resin are fibrillated fibers. The respective characteristics and amounts of the fibers in the resin may be selected to impart desirable properties including enhanced mechanical properties and filtration properties (e.g., relatively high strength and air permeability), amongst other benefits.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for regenerating or reducing the deterioration of an apatite solid surface during, or subsequent to, a chromatographic procedure for purifying a target molecule from a sample, by treating the apatite solid surface with a buffered calcium solution, followed by a phosphate buffered solution, followed by an alkaline hydroxide. The buffered calcium solution, phosphate buffered solution, and alkaline hydroxide can be applied subsequent to a bind and elute or flow through purification procedure. The methods provide an increase in resin mass and/or particle strength compared to prior methods.
