Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to implementation of a trading system, which may also be referred to as a trading system architecture, having improved performance which further assures transactional determinism under increasing processing transaction loads while providing improved trading opportunities, fault tolerance, low latency processing, high volume capacity, risk mitigation and market protections with minimal impact, as well as improved and equitable access to information and opportunities.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a downhole cleaning apparatus and a method of cleaning a wellbore. The downhole cleaning apparatus has a body and a cleaning element coupled to the body. The cleaning element is selectively moveable in relation to the body from a retracted position to an extended position. When the cleaning element is in the retracted position it is retained by retention formations internal to the tool that are coupled together. The retention formations can be slideably released from one another to enable the cleaning element is able to move to the extended position. The force required to slideable release the retention formations exceeds any forces encountered when the apparatus is run in, preventing premature extension of the cleaning element.

Abstract: A base exercise device includes at least one modular connection. The base exercise device is operable without any modular units connected to one of the modular connections. A modular unit may be physically connected to the base exercise device. The modular unit includes at least one exercise feature that is not included in the base exercise device.

Abstract: Apparatuses, components, methods, and techniques for altering equipment operation are provided. An example tool control and breathable air delivery system includes equipment including a tool and a controller configured to control the tool. The example system also includes a wearable respirator and an air delivery device connected to the wearable respirator. The example system further includes an air evaluation monitor configured to generate a signal based upon a condition of air being delivered to the wearable respirator. An example electronic circuit is configured to adjust the tool based at least in part on the signal generated by the air evaluation monitor. An example method includes enabling the tool, providing air to a respirator, determining a condition of the air, and adjusting the tool based on the condition of the air.

Abstract: A guard rail system is provided. The guard rail system includes posts and rails. The posts include a base, a body and a plurality of rail supports. In one embodiment, a stacking fin extends from the base for fitting into an opening defined in a top portion of a corresponding post that is in an upside down orientation to allow two posts to be stacked together. In another embodiment, body and rail supports are integrally formed from the same material. In another embodiment, openings are defined in the body to act as rail supports.

Abstract: A mounting device for securing an object, such as a towel, a dish cloth, a potholder, or an oven mitt, to a handle, such as a refrigerator handle, an oven door handle, a drawer handle, or a cabinet handle, comprises a body, a hooking component formed on the body for removably hooking the device onto the handle when desired, and a connecting component formed on the body for connecting the object to the body. The object may be removably affixed to the connecting component or permanently affixed to the connecting component.
