Title: Method and system for pricing and allocating securities
Inventor: BUCKNELL BENJAMIN GEORGE WENTWORTH
IPC: G06Q40/04
Filed: 2013-05-30
Abstract: A method/system for pricing and allocating identified securities of a company on a registered securities exchange, as opposed to off-market. A host computer system or computer receives bid data indicative of one or more bids for the identified securities from one or more eligible investors. Determination of at least one price of the identified securities and a preferential allocation of at least some of the identified securities to eligible investors is performed at least partially based on bids that are higher than the determined match price or bids that are received prior to a specified time or times. The preferential allocation of at least some of the identified securities to at least some of the eligible investors is part of the bookbuild performed on the registered securities exchange. The bids are able to be accepted in real time by an issuer or seller of the identified securities.

Title: System and method for authorizing a debit transaction without user authentication
Inventor: HAMBLETON SCOTT LAWSON
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2015-03-12
Abstract: A method of authorizing a debit transaction involves a server receiving from a debit terminal a message requesting authorization for a debit transaction. The message includes a credential provided by a payment token interfaced with the debit terminal. The credential is uniquely associated with the token. The server is in communication with a payment definition database that associates a plurality of payment credentials each with a respective financial account and a default payment amount. The server determines the financial account and the default amount by querying the database with the received credential. Particulars of the determined financial account and default amount are indeterminable from only the credential.    The server authenticates the message and facilitates a debit in the default amount from the financial account.  The server performs the receiving, determining, authenticating and facilitating all without confirmation of authentication of a bearer of the token.

Inventor: BRUESTLE JEREMY J
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2013-10-08
Abstract: The current document is directed to automated methods and processor-controlled systems for assembling short read symbol sequences into longer assembled symbol sequences that are aligned and compared to a reference symbol sequence in order to determine differences between the longer assembled symbol sequences and the reference sequence. These methods and systems are applied to process electronically stored symbol-sequence data. While the symbol-sequence data may represent genetic-code data, the automated methods and processor-controlled systems may be more generally applied to various different symbol-sequence data. In certain implementations, redundancy in read symbol sequences is used to preprocess the read symbol sequences to identify and correct symbol errors. and those corrected read symbol sequences that exactly match subsequences of the reference symbol sequence are identified and removed from subsequent processing steps, to simply the identification of differences between the longer assembled symbol sequences and the reference sequence.
