  • Patent number: 8401959
    Abstract: A system and methods for dynamically changing a trade order quantity in an electronic trading environment are described herein. According to one example embodiment, an automated trading tool determines if a leaned on quantity of a trading strategy has increased or decreased and if so, dynamically changing a desired order quantity to reflect the change in the leaned on quantity. Dynamically changing an order quantity may be more profitable for a trader as order queue position may be maintained and portion of the desired order quantity may get filled; rather than a trader losing their order queue position and/or taking a chance of not getting any of their order quantity filled.

  • Patent number: 8038630
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device with an ultrasonic-based probe for drilling and coring. The invention uses ultrasonic and subsonic vibrations produced by a frequency compensation coupler or free mass to produce the hammering action of a partially disengaged probe, with a relatively low axial force required. The invention can also be fitted with irrigation and aspiration capabilities. The invention can furthermore be furnished with a body sensor-feedback apparatus, which provides feedback to the operator as to the optimal frequency and power use of the generator. One embodiment of the invention also has a cooling mechanism to keep the drill or coring apparatus at an optimum temperature.

  • Publication number: 20100307701
    Abstract: A quiet motorized roller shade assembly has a roller tube for reeling and unreeling a reelable shade and an internal electric motor. The motor turns a drive wheel that mates with a the interior of the roller tube so that the roller tube rotates in response to the rotation of the drive wheel. The electric motor disposed within a motor sleeve for reducing sound transmission within the roller tube. A crown is disposed on one end of the roller tube. The drive wheel and the crown maintain a space between the electric motor and the roller tube so that the motor does not directly contact the roller tube. An idler assembly is disposed proximate the end of the roller tube opposite the crown. The idler assembly includes a spring member for reducing vibration between roller shade assembly and the mounting bracket during operation of the electric motor.
