Abstract: A steam-based document storage and retrieval system accepts documents that are in diverse formats and come from diverse application, automatically creates document model objects describing these documents in a consistent format and associating time stamps with the documents to automatically create a main stream in chronological order. The stream, or sub-streams meeting selected search criteria, are displayed in a variety of forms, including a receding, partly overlapping stack with aids that facilitate user interaction.

Abstract: Methods and systems for providing solutions for trading securities are disclosed, including receiving a level-two quote, the level-two quote including a symbol and at least one market participant quote, the market participant quote including a quote price, a quote quantity, a quote MPID, and a quote side. The methods and systems further include creating a solution set including at least one solution record corresponding to each market participant quote in the level-two quote, the solution record including a solution symbol, a solution side, a solution MPID, a solution price, a solution quantity, and a solution latency, the solution latency including a latency for the market identified by the solution MPID.

Abstract: Disclosed is a computer program product and method that operate an enterprise information system of at least one server and a number or personal computers communicating with each other and with the server. The program product and method create object models that have a consistent structure from and about information assets that are of diverse types and come from diverse software, and display browse cards about the information assets in a time-ordered stream, together with glance views related to the document object models. The glance views are displayed essentially in real time in response to passing a cursor over respective browse cards on the display.

Abstract: An enterprise, stream-based system of organizing, storing, retrieving, and displaying information, using top-down or bottom-up topologies or a combination of the two, and providing access to wireless devices that display contracted forms of streams of objects while other end-user devices can display the streams as partly overlapping, receding streams of objects that contain more displayed information. The two types of end-user devices nevertheless use the same or essentially the same methodology in dealing with stream document objects. The system automatically converts diverse kinds of original documents that can come from diverse sources and applications, into stream document objects (SDOs) that conform to a standard format and can be handled the same way in the system, efficiently and consistently in the way people think and look for information.
