  • Patent number: 12225022
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for secure data communication between two devices. A disclosed system responds to a request from an originating communication device in a first network to connect with a communication device in a second network, for communication, by receiving a request from the communication device in the first network, the request including payload data and a destination network address in the second network. The system then transmits the received payload data to the destination address in the second network after analyzing the payload data for network intrusion. When the analysis does not indicate network intrusion, the system determines a route to the destination network address by looking up the destination address in a routing table and forwarding the payload data to the destination network address in the second network. If the analysis indicates network intrusion, the system discards the payload data.

  • Patent number: 11982563
    Abstract: An apparatus powered by batteries may include a first processor and a second processor. The first processor may consume more electrical power than the second processor. The second processor acquires data from one or more sensors. At a predetermined time or other trigger, the second processor activates the first processor that is then used to send the acquired data to an external device. For example, items are stowed on the apparatus that includes weight sensors. The second processor awakens hourly, acquires weight data indicative of the weight of items stowed on the apparatus, and returns to a sleep mode. After 24 hours of acquiring weight data, the second processor activates the first processor to send the accumulated weight data to an external device, such as a server, using a network interface. Power consumption is substantially reduced, allowing the apparatus to operate without external power for extended periods of times.

  • Patent number: 11599944
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide real-time pre-trade risk assessments for multiple parties. In one embodiment, a Programmable Logic Device (PLD) may be embedded within an Automated Trading Systems (ATS) architecture by utilizing the Intel socket G or the PCIe interface to provide pre-trade risk functionality. The system may also provide a method for interacting with the ATS DRAM or L1 cache to provide faster access to orders in ATS memory for PLDs. The system may use the Quick Path Interconnect between an embedded processor and a PLD to transfer memory maps. The system may also add additional libraries to an ATS processor to accelerate the transfer or memory maps to a PLD. The system also may use system interrupts to cancel erroneous orders within an ATS processor from a PLD housed within the same physical architecture.

  • Patent number: 11393032
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide real-time pre-trade risk assessments for multiple parties. In one embodiment, systems and methods can be configured to receive a market order data packet, wherein the market order data packet comprises order information for a market order to be made at a liquidity venue. The market order data packet comprises a header portion and a payload portion, and the header portion comprises at least a portion of the order information. An order symbol is determined based on order symbol information in the header portion. Risk parameters are retrieved associated with the order symbol. It is determined whether or not a risk threshold is exceeded based on the risk parameters and the order information. A final market order data packet is generated for transmission to the liquidity venue based on the determining whether the risk threshold is exceeded.

  • Patent number: 11286672
    Abstract: A method of fluidly connecting two downspout components without fasteners. The method embodies an elastic band dimensioned to slidably receive connecting ends of the two downspout components in such a way that the material of the elastic band frictionally engages the received connecting ends in a seamless, fastener-less, drip-free seal.
