Patent number: 8326738Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing derivative product orders at an exchange. Traders provide derivative product order risk data to the exchange. The order risk data may include maximum delta, gamma and/or vega utilization values for derivative product contracts based on the same underlying product. Before executing a trade, a match system analyzes the trader's current utilization state and the utilization that would result after the trade. The match system may then execute all or a portion of the trade.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2011Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc.Inventors: Scott Johnston, John Falck, Charlie Troxel, Jr., James Farrell, Arjuna Ariathurai, Agnes Shanthi Thiruthuvadoss, David Salvadori

Publication number: 20120239548Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for executing a hedge transaction in connection with the execution of a derivative product order in which the price of the derivative product is defined by one or more variables. The hedge transaction may be executed at an exchange or match engine that is different from the exchange or match engine executing the derivative product order. The execution of derivative product transaction may be contingent on the existence of an appropriate hedge transaction. Alternatively, a best efforts approach may be used to fill the hedge transaction order after executing the derivative product transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2012Publication date: September 20, 2012Applicant: CHICAGO MERCANTILE EXCHANGE INC.Inventors: Scott Johnston, John Falck, Charlie Troxel, JR., James W.

Publication number: 20110073681Abstract: A method of manufacturing a fuel injector having high-flow orifices in its tip includes removing a bulb from a fuel injector tip having at least one spray orifice with a first diameter, and friction welding a slug to the fuel injector tip, including forming a fused interface of material of the slug and material of the fuel injector tip. The method further includes modifying the slug subsequent to friction welding the slug to the fuel injector tip, including forming a new bulb from the slug having at least one spray orifice therein with a different diameter than that of the removed bulb. A remanufactured fuel injector, and fuel injector tip, includes an injector tip body having a first tip portion of a first material and a second tip portion of a material compatible for friction welding with the first material.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2010Publication date: March 31, 2011Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Karen Raab, James D.
