Abstract: A method and system are described for providing a trader with the ability to quickly configure the quoting side of a trading tool, without experiencing the normal delays associated with conventional methods of quoting. In spread trading, an automated spread trading tool may automatically work an order to buy or sell a tradeable object. A user may configure the trading tool to work an order in a certain tradeable object first. The system allows the user to essentially on-the-fly configure the trading tool to work a second order in another tradeable object, and in response to the change, the system can take specific actions such as deleting the order in the first tradeable object and automatically entering the second order in the other tradeable object. This allows the trader to trade quickly and efficiently.

Abstract: The invention provides novel high-energy density and low-cost flow electrochemical devices incorporating solid-flow electrodes, and further provides methods of using such electrochemical devices. Included are anode and cathode current collector foils that can be made to move during discharge or recharge of the device. Solid-flow devices according to the invention provide improved charging capability due to direct replacement of the conventional electrode stack, higher volumetric and gravimetric energy density, and reduced battery cost due to reduced dimensions of the ion-permeable layer.

Abstract: A heat sink apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a base unit for use with an electronic component operable to make contact with a heat generating source, wherein the heat generating source is affixed to a printed circuit board. It also comprises a top unit wherein the top unit of the heat sink is rotatively coupled to the base unit, and wherein a slot forms in between the top unit and the base unit when the top unit is coupled to the base unit. Finally it comprises a heat pipe, wherein the heat pipe is received through the slot and held tightly therein, and wherein the heat pipe is operable to dissipate heat transferred through the base unit away from the heat generating source.

Abstract: Example methods, systems, and computer-readable media to indicate a market trend using a graphical indicator are disclosed herein. An example method includes displaying price levels of a tradeable object on a trading interface. The trading interface is to be used to execute trades via an electronic exchange. The example method also includes monitoring a price and a volume of trades of the tradeable object. The example method further includes displaying a graphical indicator on the trading interface to indicate a trend between the volume of trades and the price.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) can include an interface configured to receive packetized data specifying a programming instruction for a memory external to the integrated circuit over a first communication channel. The first communication channel can be an in-band signaling channel also used by the IC when performing a function independent of programming the memory. The IC can include a buffer having a first port coupled to the interface and a second port. The buffer can be configured to store the programming instruction extracted from the packetized data. The IC also can include a programmer coupled to the second port. The programmer can be configured to program the memory over a second communication channel different from the first communication channel responsive to interpretation of the programming instruction from the buffer.

Abstract: A potentiostat is provided for a biosensor circuit and permits sequential and simultaneous measurements to be performed at different cells across a matrix of biosensing devices. Accordingly, a potentiostat comprises a first differential amplifier for receiving a scanning voltage at a first input terminal and a voltage at the reference electrode at a second input terminal and for generating an output voltage at an output terminal to be applied to the working electrode, wherein, when in use, a feedback loop of the potentiostat circuit is closed between the reference electrode and the working electrode.

Abstract: A specially designed mask controls the arrangement of conductive materials that form a source and drain of a transistor. Designing the mask can be costly and time-consuming, which means that the testing of a circuit involving a transistor can also be costly, time consuming and a barrier towards efficient circuit development and testing. Accordingly, the present invention provides a pre-fabricated, general-purpose pattern comprising an array of conductive islands. The pattern is used as a source and a drain terminal for the formation of a thin-film transistor and as a conductive source for the formation of other electrical components upon the array.
