20110066535CREDIT DEFAULT SWAP CLEARING - An electronic trading system is configured to trade credit default swap (CDS) futures contracts on an open exchange. The CDS futures contract allows the buyer and seller isolate and trade the credit risk of a third party. The third pay may be a corporation, sovereign government, or any entity that issues bonds or notes. The CDS futures contract seller effectively pays the premium over time in increments determined by market rates and through the natural operation of the open market. The CDS futures contract buyer makes a contingency payment if the CDS futures contract goes in-the-money (ITM). Both sides of the contract are guaranteed by the exchange as a counterparty.03-17-2011

20080281861METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DYNAMICALLY GENERATING ENTERPRISE JAVA BEANS DURING INSTALLATION OF A SERVICE COMPONENT ARCHITECTURE APPLICATION - A method of dynamically generating stateless session beans (EJBs) during installation of a Service Component Architecture (SCA) composite to expose simple SCA POJO components to Java EE callers. During SCA composite installation, an installation utility receives an installation request for a SCA composite with a simple POJO service. If EJB service binding is defined, the installation utility collects data from a service interface to generate a corresponding bean interface and implementation classes. Generic EJB home, bean and interface class templates are pre-defined using EMF JET templates. Data collected from the service interface is fed into pre-defined EMF JET Templates to generate service-specific EJB classes. The installation utility also matches the java interface to the EJB interface to ensure compatibility. Generated bean method has code snippets to delegate calls to SCA components during runtime. Given a simple SCA POJO Service, the installation utility generates Stateless Session bean without Java EE tooling.11-13-2008

20100175872IN SITU COMBUSTION AS ADJACENT FORMATION HEAT SOURCE - Methods and apparatus relate to in situ combustion. Configurations of injection and production wells facilitate the in situ combustion. A first production well disposed in a first oil bearing reservoir is spaced from a second production well disposed in a second oil bearing reservoir separated from the first oil bearing reservoir by a stratum having lower permeability than the first and second oil bearing reservoirs. The stratum isolates one of the first and second production wells from one of the first and second oil bearing reservoirs. In situ combustion through the first oil bearing reservoir generates heat that irradiates into the second oil bearing reservoir to enable producing hydrocarbon with the second production well.07-15-2010

20090038461SADDLE FOR STRINGED INSTRUMENTS - A saddle for a stringed instrument comprising an elongate member having a string support surface for supporting strings of the instrument and a base that abuts the stringed instrument. The elongate member has at least one internal cavity and, in some embodiments, an insert made from a resonant material is received in the internal cavity, the insert being dimensioned to provide an airspace gap between the insert and the base of the elongate member to provide a separation between the insert and the instrument. At least one piezoelectric crystal is embedded in the insert to faithfully and reliable capture the vibrational energy of the strings. Alternatively, a transducer or pickup element is directly received in the internal cavity and is dimensioned to provide an airspace gap between the transducer element and the base to provide a separation between the transducer element and the instrument. The gap between the insert or transducer element and the base of the saddle means that no pressure is applied to the bottom of the insert or transducer element, thereby eliminating string imbalance due to uneven pressure between the saddle and the instrument.02-12-2009
