| 20110079960 | Multi-Piece Pressure Operated Rings for a Downhole Pump Plunger - A pressure responsive seal ring assembly includes a first and second arcuate-shaped ring segment configured for non-interlocking assembly onto a plunger body. A tab extends beyond a first end of each ring segment and is received by a recessed portion in the first end of the opposing ring segment. The tabs and recessed portions provide a gap in the outer peripheral surface of the assembled ring. A second tab extends beyond a second end of the second ring segment and is received by a recessed portion in the second end of the first ring segment. Pads provide an inter-space effective for allowing fluid flow between the interior peripheral surface and the plunger body. The ring segments expand radially outward with an increase in pressure to provide a seal and retract radially inward with a decrease in pressure. The ring segments, however, remain connected and resist fluid flow therebetween. | 04-07-2011 |

| 20110047060 | APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A MARGINAL CONTRIBUTION TO PERFORMANCE PLATFORM - The APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A MARGINAL CONTRIBUTION TO PERFORMANCE PLATFORM (“MCP PLATFORM”) brings about significant advances in the utility and efficacy of algorithmic trading. In one embodiment, the MCP Platform facilitates optimized trading of financial instruments by employing an optimization framework that extends down to the order-placement level. The MCP Platform may minimize a total, generalized cost associated with a trade by separating the overall optimization problem into current order placement decisions and future order placement decisions. Future order placement decisions may then be evaluated analytically and the current order placement decisions evaluated numerically to effectively reduce the dimensionality of the optimization problem and allow optimization to be performed in a relatively short period of time. | 02-24-2011 |
