Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for performing an opening auction of a derivative, including receiving a first order book and second order book comprising bid orders and ask orders for a first tradable series of a derivative and a second tradable series of said derivative and a third order book comprising bid orders for the first tradable series combined with ask orders for the second tradable series, calculating, for each of the order books, an upper bound for the volume of executable contracts associated with bid orders and an upper bound for the volume of executable contracts associated with ask orders, modifying the order books by cancelling, for each order book, bid orders and asks orders based on the calculated upper bounds, and determining an opening price of each of the first and second tradable series of the derivative using the order books.

Abstract: A system includes a plurality of sensors configured to detect an electrical voltage and an electrical leakage current associated with an operation of an industrial machine, and a controller including a processor and a selection device. The selection device is configured to receive from the plurality of sensors a first input corresponding to the electrical voltage, and a second input corresponding to the electrical leakage current. The first input is paired with the second input to generate a paired input. The selection device is configured to transmit an output to the processor based at least in part on the paired input. The output includes an indication of the electrical leakage current or a dissipation factor associated with the industrial machine.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable medium for employing data obtained from an electronic network, such as the Internet, as an emulation of sensor data. A virtual sensor bridge mechanism may be interfaced to a data source, such as the Internet, to receive Web data or remote sensor data. The virtual sensor bridge may convert the received data into a format usable by a logic controller, thereby emulating sensor data and enabling the logic controller to treat the networked data source as a sensor. Furthermore, the virtual sensor bridge may interface directly with one or more sensors and may serve as an adapter or data relay between a sensor and the logic controller.

Abstract: A method for determining execution states, market clearing prices and bid and ask prices for futures products at an opening auction. A plurality of orders is received, each order is associated with a price limit, a quantity, a participant and a futures product. For each order a quantity vector is determined, is based on the futures product associated with the order. Further, for each order a price vector is determined, based on the price limit and the futures product associated with the order. Then, an execution state vector is determined by using the determined price and quantity vectors to maximize an objective function subject to constraints. Market clearing prices and best, not executed, buy and sell orders are determined for each product using the execution state vector. Finally the bid and ask prices are given by the price limits of the best, not executed, buy and sell orders.

Abstract: A device and a method for separating mixtures that contain oil or bitumen and additives. The device and the method are applicable in particular to separating stone chippings and bitumen in excavated asphalt road surfaces. In the case of oil sands and oil shale, a mineral phase can be separated from an oil phase and separation of bitumen and carrier felt can be induced in recycling of bitumen felt, oil binder and oil. The individual components of the mixture are separated from one another using a solvent, wherein the solvent takes up the oil or bitumen. The oil and bitumen are subsequently separated from the solvent so that the solvent can be reused.

Abstract: A computer system performs an opening auction of a derivative such as a financial futures. The computer system comprises an order maintenance module and an optimizing module. The order maintenance module maintains a plurality of order books for said derivative. The plurality of order books comprises a first set of order books and a second set of order books. Each order book of the first set of order books comprises bid and ask orders for a specific tradable series of the derivative. Each order book of the second set of order books comprises bid and ask orders for a specific combination of two tradable series of the derivative. Each bid and ask order is associated with an integer volume of tradable contracts of the derivative. The optimizing module maximizes a total volume of executed contracts using integer optimization to determine opening prices for the tradable series of the derivative.
