20110029456System and Method for a Risk Management Framework for Hedging Mortality Risk in Portfolios Having Mortality-Based Exposure - The invention comprises a system and method for hedging or mitigating mortality exposure risk in a portfolio of mortality-dependent instruments. A mortality risk or longevity risk of the portfolio is calculated or otherwise determined. Then the sensitivity of the portfolio to mortality risk or longevity risk is calculated or otherwise determined, in other words, how much is cost or value of the portfolio affected by a change in mortality rate. To account for that mortality exposure, a selection is made of building block mortality derivatives that include age-based mortality derivatives. The selected plurality of building block mortality derivatives are used to create a hedge against the mortality risk or longevity risk of the portfolio.02-03-2011

20090041020CLOCK MANAGEMENT BETWEEN TWO ENDPOINTS - Clock correlation can be achieved, for example, utilizing the RTP stream between a sender and receiver by determining a baseline at the start of, for example, a communication. This baseline is derived as a point in time from an arriving packet and represents a point from which subsequent packets deviate. Using this baseline, an early packet or a late packet can be detected. An early packet pushes the baseline down to that earlier point, while late arriving packets, if they are arriving late for a continuous period of time, represents a shift in the opposite direction from the baseline, resulting in a baseline moving to the “earliest” packet out of the sequence of the late arriving packets.02-12-2009
