Abstract: A system monitors gas flow and pressure to a gas appliance in a fluid network comprising an analyzer. The analyzer has a housing defining an inlet, an outlet, and an interior in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet. At least one sensor is coupled to the analyzer and configured to generate at least one signal related to gas being supplied to the gas appliance. A smart device communicates with the analyzer, wherein the smart device has a user interface and is configured to monitor, store and display data. The smart device can present any or all of a plurality of parameters such as the flow of gas, a capacity of the flow of gas, a temperature, a pressure of the gas and the like to a user based on signals from sensors.

Abstract: Embodiments of the transmission latency leveling apparatuses, methods and systems provide an electronic bidding order management infrastructure, such as a “point-of-presence,” which receives and routes electronic trading orders from different trading entities at a server via a transmission medium to create a certain amount of transmission latency before the trading orders could arrive at and be executed at electronic exchanges to reduce latency arbitrage and/or order book arbitrage that may be experienced by high frequency trading participants. A similar transmission latency may be applied to the egress transmission of market data updates issued by an electronic exchange. Other techniques for facilitating electronic trading are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method and system operate to secure and efficiently manage data. The method includes performing steps such as generating independent keys corresponding to multiple portions of segmented data and utilizing the independent keys to encrypt the multiple portions of segmented data. The method additionally includes generating a master key, encrypting the independent keys with the master key, and storing each portion of the segmented data adjacent to the corresponding independent key in a data and key storage device. The method additionally includes segmenting the master key, thereby creating multiple master key segments and storing the multiple master key segments in disparate locations separate from the data.

Abstract: In a message processing system, an application connected to an event stream publishes a schema for the structure of data payloads contained in messages from the application. Other readers and writers within the system can receive the schema and apply the schema to subsequent inbound and/or outbound messages as appropriate. The application may from time to time dynamically update the schema and publish a revised schema for use by the other applications connected to the event stream for subsequent messages.

Abstract: In order to protect a trading party from predatory trading strategies employed by some market participants, especially during certain periods when quotes for a particular security are experiencing rapid changes or transitions, embodiments of the present invention facilitate and support a new type of trading orders whose booking and execution behaviors are dynamically varied in response to environmental market conditions. Pursuant to predefined rules for the new type of trading orders, the orders may be allowed to trade at more aggressive price levels if the market is relatively stable, and the orders can only trade at less aggressive price levels when the market is unstable.

Abstract: A data processing system with a dataset multiplexer that enables applications to be written to specify access to datasets as operations on logical datasets. During execution of an application by the data processing system, operations that access a dataset are implemented by accessing an entry in a dataset catalog for the logical dataset. That entry includes information to access the physical data source storing the logical dataset, including conversion of data from the format of the physical data source to the format of the logical dataset. An entry in the catalog may be created based on registration of a data source with the dataset multiplexer and may be updated automatically based on changes in storage of the dataset. This maintenance of the catalog may be partially or totally automated such that the system automatically adjusts to any changes in storage of the dataset without need for modification of any application.

Abstract: Techniques for storing data entities by a data processing system are described herein. The data processing system may store a plurality of data entity instances generated using a plurality of data entities. The plurality of data entity instances may include a first data entity instance generated using a first data entity and a second data entity instance generated using a second data entity. The first data entity instance may include a first attribute that is configured to inherit its value from a second attribute of the second data entity instance. The data processing system may provide the inherited value of the second attribute of the second data entity instance as the value of the first attribute of the first data entity instance.

Abstract: Techniques for obtaining information about data entity instances managed by a data processing system using at least one data store. The techniques include obtaining a query comprising a first portion comprising information for identifying instances of a first data entity stored in at least one data store; and a second portion indicating at least one attribute of the first data entity; generating, from the query, a plurality of executable queries including a first set of one or more executable queries and a second set of one or more executable queries, the generating comprising: generating, using the first portion, the first set of executable queries for identifying instances of the first data entity, and generating, using the second portion, the second set of executable queries for obtaining attribute values for instances of the first data entity; and executing the plurality of executable queries to obtain results for the query.

Abstract: In a processing system, an identifier for a current version of code for an application is published in a message to a shared event stream. Any instances of the application within the processing system may update to the current version before processing other messages having sequence numbers after the message containing the identifier. In this manner, multiple instances of the application may be periodically updated to maintain global consistency of the application and the shared event stream.

Abstract: A Data Synchronization and Failover Management (DSFM) system monitors simultaneous execution of non-identical instances of a software application and may label as a particular result of the software application the earliest output corresponding to that result produced by one of the instances. The DSFM may label one of the instances as a primary instance and the other instances as secondary instances and, if the primary instance fails, may re-label one of the secondary instances that computed all of the operations associated with the last result produced prior to the failure of the primary instance, as a new primary instance.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide an improved distributed computing system. Entities in the distributed computing system may be divided into four categories: writers, readers, gateways, and applications. End users may interact with the system via the applications through the gateways. The role of writers and readers may be separated to distribute computational burdens. Writers may generate messages for an event stream. The messages may include a timestamp for consistent global ordering. The readers may arrange messages from various writers based on the timestamps to generate globally time-consistent event streams.
