International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 37

Abstract:

In an Exchange which assigns only a whole number/integer representation of a computed number of futures contracts to a covered order for one or more option contracts, a method allocates quantities of an underlying financial product in connection with a plurality of orders, each being for a quantity of a derivative financial product derived from the underlying financial product and each being counter to a previously received order for a quantity of the derivative financial product, the previously received order being further characterized by a specified ratio of the quantity of the derivative financial product thereof to a quantity of the underlying financial product. The method includes receiving first and second orders for quantities of the derivative financial product, computing first and second quantities of the underlying financial product, based on the quantity of the derivative financial product of the first and second orders, respectively, to substantially achieve the specified ratio, rounding the first quantity of the underlying financial product to determine a first whole number quantity of the underlying financial product for the first order, generating a composite quantity of the underlying financial product based on the first and second quantities of the derivative financial product, generating a rounded representation of the composite quantity, and determining a second whole number quantity of the underlying financial product based on the rounded representation of the composite quantity and the first whole number quantity.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/04

US Classification:

705 37

Abstract:

An electronic trading system utilizes a Match Engine that receives orders, stores them internally, calculates tradable combinations and advertises the availability of real and implied orders in the form of market data. New tradable items defined as combinations of other tradable items may be included in the calculation of tradable combinations. A technique is disclosed for suppression of the calculation and/or subsequent listing of an implied order when the order is either undesired or unnecessary in the market therefore.

International Classification:

A61B 17/17
A61B 90/00

Abstract:

A drill guide arm for providing guidance for placement of a bone tunnel, while protecting against trauma. The guide arm includes a first arm at a proximal end connected at an angle to a second arm, the second arm extending to a distal end. The angle can be within the range of 80-110. The second arm extends along a first axis. The guide arm also includes a distal tip extending at a second angle from the second arm at the distal end, and an indicator feature extending from the distal tip toward the first arm. The indicator feature extends along a second axis, the second axis being substantially parallel to the first axis. The guide arm can also include a shield feature of the distal tip. The shield feature has a width wider than the remainder of the distal tip.

International Classification:

A61F 2/46
A61F 2/28
A61B 17/92

Abstract:

A device and system for inserting and impacting bone dowel allografts or bone chips into a bone tunnel. The surgical impacting system includes a surgical tamp having a proximal end and a distal end with an elongated shaft extending therebetween. The surgical tamp has an inner channel extending therethrough from the proximal end to the distal end. The distal end of the surgical tamp can have a distal tip. The surgical tamp may have a handle at the proximal end or a proximal tip at the proximal end. The surgical tamp may also have one or more slots extending through the exterior surface of the elongated shaft and into the inner channel. The surgical tamp can be configured for insertion into a delivery tube. The delivery tube serves the purpose of containing a bone dowel or bone chips therein for smooth insertion into the joint.
