20130085609 | OCCUPANCY DRIVEN PATIENT ROOM ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL - Using a real-time location system, the hospital environment is controlled locally. By categorizing individuals detected at different locations, the proper control may be provided to enhance energy savings and maintain a comfortable patient environment without sacrificing safety. By altering the environment within a room for patients and not staff and/or based on the type of patient, more optimized and localized control may be provided, such as implementing a number of air changes per hour appropriate for detected patients within rooms. | 04-04-2013 |
20130085615 | SYSTEM AND DEVICE FOR PATIENT ROOM ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS IN A PATIENT ROOM - A patient environmental control system, device and method are disclosed. The exemplary method includes detecting a state event representative of an environmental condition within the patient room, and generating, in response to the state event, a data packet containing a payload and formatted according to a first protocol and where the payload includes environmental control information, communicating the data packet to a field panel such that the field panel is in communication with a first building automation system and a second building automation system, adjusting a first environmental control parameter related to the first building automation system based on the environmental control information contained within the received payload, and adjusting a second environmental control parameter related to the second building automation system based on the environmental control information contained within the received payload such that the second environmental control parameter is different than the first environmental control parameter. | 04-04-2013 |

20090037345 | Bundled Financial Instruments - Networks, systems and methods that match orders for bundled financial instruments are disclosed. In one example, the bundled financial instrument includes packaged underlying financial instruments that together provide an economic equivalent exposure to a long-term investment vehicle. The bundled financial instrument may include any set of contracts considered a linear combination of a plurality of standardized contracts associated with an obligation to exchange an asset at a set price on a future date. An open position for the bundled financial instrument is a function of the prices for each of the standardized contracts of the bundle and remains open from execution of the order to the earlier of a maturity of the bundled financial instrument, a conversion of the bundled financial instrument into constituent parts of the linear combination of a plurality of standardized contracts, or in the case where the bundled instrument is fractional size contract, when multiple bundles are converted to a single position of a corresponding full-sized instrument. | 02-05-2009 |
20090089197 | TBA FUTURES CONTRACTS AND CENTRAL COUNTERPARTY CLEARING OF TBA - Networks, systems and methods that match orders for TBA futures and settle and clear open positions for TBA futures are disclosed. The TBA futures may include MBS TBA future contracts. A central counterparty clearing firm may net long and short positions and generate delivery instructions to parties having open positions. | 04-02-2009 |

20130179319 | COMPOUND OVERNIGHT BANK RATE ACCRUAL FUTURES CONTRACT AND COMPUTATION OF VARIATION MARGIN THEREFORE - The disclosed embodiments relate to an exchange-traded futures contract, guaranteed by a clearing house, and characterized by an embedded price dynamic comprising a compound accrual of a periodic interest rate up to a date on which trading therein is terminated, as specified in the futures contract terms and conditions. A trader may be allowed and/or enabled to take a position in a futures contract with respect to an interest bearing underlier with a variable interest rate and, thereby, minimize the number of transactions and attendant costs with respect to monitoring and correcting for divergences between the futures position and the notional interest rate swap exposure for which the futures position is intended to serve as a proxy. Variation margin for the position is computed based on an underlying reference interest rate as opposed to being computed solely on the basis of the end-of-business day price of the futures contract. | 07-11-2013 |
