  • Publication number: 20150026033
    Abstract: Protections against self-matching trade orders are disclosed which maximize liquidity/efficiency by reducing/minimizing unnecessary cancelations and/or resubmissions. Rather than automatically cancel or modify the incoming and/or self-matching counter orders, those resting counter orders, which would result in the occurrence of a self-match with an incoming order, are placed in a hold state or otherwise set aside such that the incoming order may be matched with other non-self-matching orders. The held orders are subsequently returned to the order book at the same, or different, priority to await a subsequent incoming order.

  • Publication number: 20140244472
    Abstract: A system can include a first computer hardware means for identifying a first available order book for a first available product listed on an exchange and a second available order book for a second available product listed on the exchange, the first available product comprising a first component and the second available product comprising a second component, the first and the second components being part of a new product. The system can also include a second computer hardware means for generating a new order book for the new product based on the first and second available products. The system can also include a third computer hardware means for causing the new product to be listed on the exchange such that subsequently received orders to buy or sell the new product are matched based on the new order book or entered into the new order book.

  • Patent number: 4116236
    Abstract: A knee brace including an elastic sleeve stretchable only in a circumferential direction having an opening in the front thereof for accommodating the kneecap of a wearer when in knee-encircling relation thereto. A resilient flexible circumferentially relatively inelastic annular, or alternatively inverted U-shaped, pad is loosely mounted to the interior of the elastic sleeve in the region generally surrounding the kneecap opening with the upper and opposite sides of the pad adjacent at least the top and opposite sides of the sleeve kneecap opening, respectively, to limitedly variably positionably locate the pad relative to the sleeve kneecap opening to permit the pad to self-align centrally of the wearer's kneecap notwithstanding limited misalignment between the sleeve kneecap opening and the wearer's kneecap.
