20130060673 | Margin Requirement Determination for Variance Derivatives - A margin requirement determination for a financial product, a market price of which varies with volatility of a market value of an underlying instrument, includes determining a realized variance of the market value for each completed trading interval based on return data for the underlying instrument, calculating, for each completed trading interval, a respective implied variance of the financial product based on option trade data for the underlying instrument, computing a respective loss risk value for a corresponding trading interval of the completed trading intervals, each respective loss risk value being derived from a first deviation between the realized variance of the corresponding trading interval and the implied variance of a preceding completed trading interval, and a second deviation between the implied variance of the corresponding trading interval and a succeeding completed trading interval, and determining the margin requirement based on a subset of the loss risk values. | 03-07-2013 |
20140067711 | Liquidity Charge Determination - A liquidity charge may be determined and added to a performance bond value for a portfolio. The resulting sum may then represent an augmented performance bond value that compensates for expected liquidation cost associated with the portfolio. Liquidation charge data may be stored for each of multiple portfolio types. For each of those portfolio types, the stored data may define possible input values for a pre-augmentation performance bond and liquidity charges based on any of the possible input values. That data may then be used to determine a liquidity charge based on the pre-augmentation performance bond value. | 03-06-2014 |

20130095926 | MOTION SCORING METHOD AND APPARATUS - An entertainment system comprises at least one input for receiving data representative of a reference dance performance, a dance analyser for generating data descriptive of an aspect of the reference dance, a key-point selector for selecting a plurality of key-points in the reference dance responsive to a property of the reference motion data, and an error tolerance calculator for generating error tolerance values at the plurality of key-points in the dance for use in scoring subsequent performances of the dance. The error tolerance values are responsive to a property of the reference motion data. An input may receive telemetry from one or more game controllers in communication with the entertainment system, in which the reference motion data comprises motion data generated by the dance analyser from the telemetry received from one or more game controllers whilst the controller(s) was held during the reference performance of the dance. | 04-18-2013 |

20140208761 | BI-DIRECTIONAL VENTILATION SYSTEMS FOR USE WITH AIRCRAFT AND RELATED METHODS - Bi-directional nacelle ventilation and cooling systems for use with aircraft and related methods are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a passageway to fluidly couple an opening formed in a nacelle of an aircraft engine and an engine compartment of the nacelle. The opening provides an inlet into the engine compartment when passive airflow is available to vent or cool the engine compartment and the opening to provide an outlet from the engine compartment when forced air is needed to vent or cool the engine compartment. A fan is positioned in the passageway to provide the forced air when the passive air is unavailable. | 07-31-2014 |
