Abstract: A specialized memory structure is provided for storing parts of orders received at an electronic trading system. A received order is divided into a displayed portion and a non-displayed portion, and each portion is allocated to a respective part of the memory structure. The memory structure is configured such that while matching the order with a contra order, priority is given to the displayed portion over the non-displayed portion. If such a match occurs, the displayed portion may be replenished. The matching in the non-displayed portion generally occurs according to rules of applying discretion. The matching in the displayed portion may occur at the displayed price or according to the rules of discretion.

In particular, the disclosure relates to the synchronization of related requests for processing of data using distributed network resources.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for coordinating processing of data by multiple networked computing resources include monitoring data associated with a plurality of networked computing resources, and coordinating the routing of data processing segments to the networked computing resources.

Abstract: A system and method enabled to increase efficiency during a VTOL aircraft's transition. A VTOL aircraft enabled to operate multiple lift fans arranged into separately controllable groups, wherein the VTOL aircraft initially has vertical flight but transitions to horizontal flight. A first group of lift fans may be kept at full throttle, a second group of lift fans may be throttled to balance thrust and/or weight, and a third group of lift fans may be shut off.

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.

Abstract: Techniques for using finite state machines (FSMs) to implement workflows in a data processing system comprising at least one data store storing data objects and a workflow management system (WMS). The WMS is configured to perform: determining a current value of an attribute of a first data object by accessing the current value in the at least one data store; identifying, using the current value and metadata specifying relationships among at least some of the data objects, an actor authorized to perform a workflow task for the first data object; generating a GUI through which the actor can provide the input that the workflow task is to be performed; and in response to receiving, from the actor and through the GUI, input specifying that the workflow task is to be performed: performing the workflow task; and updating the current workflow state of the first FSM to a second workflow state.

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: 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 system for executing transaction requests, a received request for a transaction in an item is delayed prior to matching that request with another request for transaction in that item by a delay based on a communication delay and/or a processing delay. The communication delay represents the time required to receive updated information about the item and the processing delay represents the time required to compute an updated item price using the received updated information.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a novel system and method for TCP-to-multicast (T2M) communications. The T2M techniques may allow a client to make a single TCP connection that then fans out into communications with multiple back-end resources. Such one-to-many communications may be invisible to the client but can achieve many practical benefits.

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.
