Abstract: Improved systems and methods for database management using data normalization and defragmentation techniques are provided. At least one exchange processor in communication with an exchange computer system receives market data from the exchange computer system, processes the market information, and transmits the market data to a master processor. The master processor receives the market data, processes the data using at least one normalization process to generate normalized data including an intra-day file and an archival file, and stores the intra-day file and the archival file in the master database. The master processor transmits the intra-day file and the archival file to the at least one regional processor.

Abstract: A coil assembly is disclosed. The coil assembly includes a coil that is provided on a substrate. The coil includes a trace element that is wound on the substrate. The trace element includes an interior gap that extends or is present along at least a portion of the trace element. The interior gap is dimensioned to reduce a presence of eddy currents that would otherwise be generated when the coil is active to inductively transmit or receive signals.

Abstract: At least two devices are provided that can each form part of a system to inductively exchange power and data. One device is capable of inductively transmitting a power signal to a second device, and to receive feedback from the second device in order to regulate the power signal.

Abstract: An inductive signal interface comprises a coil assembly including one or more inductive coils, a bridge circuit including a plurality of switches, and control circuitry. The control circuitry is configured to individually operate the plurality of switches to enable the inductive signal interface to dynamically switch between a power-transmit mode and a power receive mode.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein include a computing device that is capable of inductive signal transfer with other computing devices. Such computing devices are provided a shield that protects the device and other components from electromagnetic interference and unwanted electrical affects resulting from the inductive signal transfer.
