| 20090314819 | Hand-operated stapler - A hand-operated stapler comprises an arm, a sliding belt and a blocking member, wherein the arm comprises a front end which acts as an effort, a rear end which acts as a fulcrum, and a load portion in between the front end and the rear end of the arm; and the rear end of the blocking member is connected to a front end of the sliding belt. At a non-stapling default position a front end of the blocking member is biased to be disposed above the stopper and blocks the upper clincher member from engaging with the lower clincher member. At a stapling position the rear end of the sliding belt is pulled upward, thereby pulling the blocking member rearward and away from the stopper and thus allowing the upper clincher member to engage with the lower clincher member. | 12-24-2009 |

| 20110075458 | AC-DC Switching Power Converters With Frequency Variation in Response to Load Changes - A method of operating a switching power converter having at least one power switch controlled by a drive signal having a switching frequency is disclosed. The method includes monitoring an output power of the switching power converter, determining whether the output power has decreased below a threshold level and, in response to the output power decreasing below the threshold level, changing the switching frequency of the drive signal from a first switching frequency to a second switching frequency when an operating condition of the switching power converter is satisfied. Also disclosed are controllers and switching power converters (including PFC converters). | 03-31-2011 |

| 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 |
| 20100169205 | COLLATERALIZED LENDING USING A CENTRAL COUNTERPARTY - A collateralized lending system and method using a central counterparty is disclosed. Lenders place orders to enter into long contracts with a central counterparty obligating them to lend an asset, or portion thereof. Borrowers place orders to enter into short contracts with the central counterparty obligating them to borrow an asset or a substantial equivalent thereof. The net effect acts like a lending transaction between the lender and the borrower. The contracts, referred to below as “General Repo Futures” (“GRF”) and “Special Repo Futures” (“SRF”), may be characterized at least by the value, type or amount of an asset, the interest rate, the delivery/settlement date, i.e. when the loan begins, the term of the loan, or combinations thereof. The asset may be cash or one or more particular securities, such as Treasury securities. The central counterparty anonymously matches counter-orders from one or more borrowers and one or more lenders and facilitates, at the settlement/delivery date, the lending transaction by novating itself into the matched transaction between the borrower(s) and the lender(s), i.e. the lender(s) tenders the asset, or portion thereof, to the central counterparty, such as to a clearing entity operated by the central counterparty, and the central counterparty/clearing entity loans/delivers the asset, or portion thereof, or a substantial equivalent, to the borrower. In one embodiment, the central counterparty/clearing entity may collect collateral from the borrower in exchange for loan. Upon expiration of the loan, the central counterparty/clearing entity facilitates redemption of the loan, e.g. repayment by the borrower to the central counterparty, and return of the collateral, and repayment by the central counterparty to the lender, as well as collection and payment of interest, etc. As a result of the novation, the transactions between the central counterparty and the lender and borrower are independent and guaranteed. Thereby, the risk of loss due to borrower default is absorbed by the central counterparty encouraging lending activity by prospective lenders resulting in increased credit availability. | 07-01-2010 |
