  • Patent number: 11935121
    Abstract: An unpriced order auction and related market center and process are disclosed which allow posting market centers (e.g., exchanges) to schedule an auction that includes unpriced (Market) orders only. Such unpriced order auction executes at the midpoint of the NBBO, ensuring that the cross reflects the best prices in the entire marketplace, while discouraging the manipulation of the auction price on the posting market center. The disclosed auction also executes concurrently, but separately from the regular continuous matching process.

  • Patent number: 11922503
    Abstract: A tracking liquidity order and related market center and process are disclosed which allow posting market centers (e.g. exchanges) to fill routable, smaller orders that would have otherwise routed off the posting market center. Such tracking liquidity orders increase the liquidity of that posting market center and allow it to execute more orders internally, without having to route them to an away market center.

  • Publication number: 20230385424
    Abstract: A system that utilizes a risk model. The system preferably includes devices that identify cybersecurity risks, measure the risks, prioritize the risks, and provide options for remediating the risks. The devices may include computing infrastructure. Preferably, measuring the risks is adaptive to various inputs, for example using a score based process. The score based process may involve at least group analysis such as at least scores for risk management, asset configuration and change management, and identity and access management. Various aspects such as the score based process and other aspects may be adaptive and/or involve machine learning. Also, associated methods.

  • Patent number: 11730916
    Abstract: Light weight, compact, battery powered, body-worn devices and systems are configured to allow automated, hands-free monitoring and care intervention, such as of an infant, by providing audio and/or physical stimulus when a negative comfort or health condition is detected by the body-worn device and system, and by monitoring the infant's temperature, pulse, and oxygen levels. The body-worn device preferably includes a flexible printed circuit board (“FPCB”) that allows the device to be conformed to the wearer's body, and has a plurality of linear resonant actuators affixed to the FPCB that are configured to impart soothing vibrations from the device to the wearer. A control program is provided and executable on a remote computing device, which control program is configured to enable users (such as a caregiver) to selectively control the actuators.

  • Publication number: 20230176625
    Abstract: This is directed to connecting two or more elements using an intermediate element constructed from a material that changes between states. An electronic device can include one or more components constructed by connecting several elements. To provide a connection having a reduced or small size or cross-section and construct a component having high tolerances, a material can be provided in a first state in which it flows between the elements before changing to a second state in which it adheres to the elements and provides a structurally sound connection. For example, a plastic can be molded between the elements. As another example, a composite material can be brazed between the elements. In some cases, internal surfaces of the elements can include one or more features for enhancing a bond between the elements and the material providing the interface between the elements.

  • Publication number: 20230139223
    Abstract: An enhanced system and method for handling, matching and executing a diverse group of limit-priced orders in an electronic options environment is disclosed. Most of the order types disclosed are automatically repriced and reposted as the NBBO changes to increase their execution opportunities. Market maker entitlements are integrated with the order processing, so that the market maker is guaranteed an allocation of the trade if the market maker is at the NBBO when an order priced at or better than the NBBO is received. Once posted to the order book, the displayed price of an order may be eligible for preferential execution in a market maker entitlement process, regardless of whether the displayed price is original or has been automatically repriced.
