Title: Reproducible placement of ABI electrodes
Inventor: GRASSO PETER
IPC: A61N1/04
Filed: 2017-02-03
Abstract: A surgical placement system is configured for determining an optimal placement location for an auditory brainstem implant (ABI) electrode array. A cochlear implant (CI) electrode array is inserted into a patient cochlea, and the ABI electrode array is initially placed at an initial placement location on a patient brainstem. The optimal placement location for the ABI electrode array is then determined by, for multiple electrode contacts on the ABI electrode array: i. selecting a specific electrode contact, ii. delivering a stimulation signal to the selected electrode contact, iii. sensing an efferent nerve signal from the stimulation signal using the electrode contacts of the CI electrode array, and iv. determining a maximum response location in the patient cochlea where a largest efferent nerve signal is sensed. The ABI electrode array is then repositioned to the optimal placement location.

Title: Ideal latency floor
Inventor: MELTON HAYDEN PAUL
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2018-08-23
Abstract: Abstract The invention relates to a system and method for providing a latency floor for an electronic trading venue in which market parti-cipants who can respond within the value the floor and choose to compete in a specific race to make or take a price may each have a substantially equal chance of winning that race. The system may de-tect and distinguish individual "races" that occur on an electronic trading venue. Upon detection of the first order (or message) in such a race, the systerm may create a batch and a timer for that race. As orders pertaining to that race are received, they are added to its batch. Upon the timer reaching a predetermined value, typically the value of the floor, the race is determined to have ended and the orders are drained from the batch for processing (e.g., against the instrument's central limit order book (CLOB)).
