| 20090319418 | System and Method for Dynamically Regulating Order Entry in an Electronic Trading Environment - A system and method are provided for trading a trading strategy defined for at least one tradeable object in an electronic trading environment. More specifically, one example method includes using a first pay-up tick value to determine a first acceptable price level for an order associated with the trading strategy, automatically modifying the first pay-up tick to a second pay-up tick value in response to detecting a predefined condition, and using the second pay-up tick value to determine a second acceptable price level for the order associated with the trading strategy. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100070403 | System and Method for Order Placement in an Electronic Trading Environment - A system and associated methods are provided for intelligent placement and movement of orders in an electronic trading environment. According to one example method, in addition to submitting a leg order at a calculated price level, additional orders, queue holder orders, are submitted for the leg order at prices either below or above the calculated price level. Based on this configuration, if the conditions change such that it is necessary to re-price the leg order, there will be already an order resting in the exchange order book at the re-calculated price that can be used in the strategy. Upon re-pricing the leg order, one or more additional queue holder orders will be placed in the market. Other tools are provided as well. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100191641 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USE OF FRACTIONAL PAY-UP TICKS IN RELATION TO TRADING STRATEGIES IN AN ELECTRONIC TRADING ENVIRONMENT - A system and associated methods are provided for use of fractional pay-up ticks in relation to offset orders being sent for a trading strategy that involves trading a first tradeable object and at least a second tradeable object. According to one example method, when an indication is received that a quantity at a first price for the first tradeable object is filled, a plurality of offset orders for the second tradeable object is sent to an electronic order book of the second tradeable object. The plurality of offset orders is placed at a plurality of price levels determined based on at least one fractional pay-up tick value, the first price, and the desired spread price. A quantity for each order is determined based on a quantity divider rule that is applied to an offset quantity to offset the fill. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100217703 | System and Method for Smart Hedging in an Electronic Trading Environment - A system and associated methods are provided for smart hedging in an electronic trading environment. According to one example method, a first order for a first tradeable object and a second order for a second tradeable object are placed based on a spread strategy. Upon receiving an indication that a quantity of the first order is filled, the method involves determining if the second order can be used to offset the quantity filled of the first order by determining if a price of the second order would result in achieving a desired spread price defined for the spread strategy. If the price results in the desired price, the second order is used to offset the quantity filled for the first order in an attempt to achieve the desired spread price. Other tools are provided as well. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20100035220 | ON-LINE STUDENT SAFETY LEARNING AND EVALUATION SYSTEM - A system and method for providing educational content and testing over the internet in order to teach students (e.g., college students) safe, responsible attitudes, values, and behaviors that will lower incidents leading to liability, and hence lower liability insurance for entities, including schools, attended by such students. Software modules provide the educational materials and testing materials as well as data mining techniques to determine which member attributes of that entity, or groups of member attributes, are statistically likely to be at risk for a liability situation or are in danger of harmful activity. The data mining combined with statistical analysis also enables the entity to ensure that students with certain attributes receive customized content addressed to the student's particular issues and provides for follow-up to verify that the students indeed learn the customized content. For example, the learning materials may relate to student safety and/or sociological and/or psychometric risk factors of the students. | 02-11-2010 |

| 20080294584 | Customized electronic newspapers and advertisements - This invention relates to customized electronic identification of desirable objects, such as news articles, in an electronic media environment, and in particular to a system that automatically constructs both a “target profile” for each target object in the electronic media based, for example, on the frequency with which each word appears in an article relative to its overall frequency of use in all articles, as well as a “target profile interest summary” for each user, which target profile interest summary describes the user's interest level in various types of target objects. The system then evaluates the target profiles against the users' target profile interest summaries to generate a user-customized rank ordered listing of target objects most likely to be of interest to each user so that the user can select from among these potentially relevant target objects, which were automatically selected by this system from the plethora of target objects that are profiled on the electronic media. Users' target profile interest summaries can be used to efficiently organize the distribution of information in a large scale system consisting of many users interconnected by means of a communication network. Additionally, a cryptographically-based pseudonym proxy server is provided to ensure the privacy of a user's target profile interest summary, by giving the user control over the ability of third parties to access this summary and to identify or contact the user. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20080210662 | THICK POROUS ANODIC ALUMINA FILMS AND NANOWIRE ARRAYS GROWN ON A SOLID SUBSTRATE - The presently disclosed invention provides for the fabrication of porous anodic alumina (PAA) films on a wide variety of substrates. The substrate comprises a wafer layer and may further include an adhesion layer deposited on the wafer layer. An anodic alumina template is formed on the substrate. When a rigid substrate such as Si is used, the resulting anodic alumina film is more tractable, easily grown on extensive areas in a uniform manner, and manipulated without danger of cracking. The substrate can be manipulated to obtain free-standing alumina templates of high optical quality and substantially flat surfaces. PAA films can also be grown this way on patterned and non-planar surfaces. Furthermore, under certain conditions the resulting PAA is missing the barrier layer (partially or completely) and the bottom of the pores can be readily accessed electrically. The resultant film can be used as a template for forming an array of nanowires wherein the nanowires are deposited electrochemically into the pores of the template. By patterning the electrically conducting adhesion layer, pores in different areas of the template can be addressed independently, and can be filled electrochemically by different materials. Single-stage and multi-stage nanowire-based thermoelectric devices, consisting of both n-type and p-type nanowires, can be assembled on a silicon substrate by this method. | 09-04-2008 |
