Abstract: An engineered aerosol particle for use in aerosol applications is provided. The engineered aerosol particle comprises a fabricated nanoparticle body member being non-spherical. The fabricated nanoparticle body member is configured to provide at least one of auto-rotation, tumbling, or lift when entrained in an airstream to thereby increase settling time of the fabricated nanoparticle body member. An associated method is also provided.

Abstract: Methods and electronic exchanges that facilitate buyer-driven transactions are provided. The methods may include receiving at an electronic exchange an offer from a buyer to purchase a product or service at a buyer-determined price. The methods may also include searching seller inventory data or seller capacity data from at least one database to match the offer with at least one seller inventory or seller schedule that includes the product or service. The methods may further include receiving at the electronic exchange an acceptance of the offer from an individual seller whose inventory or schedule is included among the at least one seller inventory or seller schedule. Related electronic exchanges are also described.

Abstract: Products or services demand analytics systems are provided. The systems may include a processor configured to determine whether to make an offer from a buyer to purchase a product or service at a buyer-determined price available to a seller of the product or service, based on a demand analytics preference of the seller for the product or service. Moreover, the processor may be configured to adjust whether the offer is made available to the seller and/or how the offer is communicated to the seller in response to an adjustment by the seller of the demand analytics preference for the product or service. Related methods and electronic exchanges are also described.
