Abstract: Various systems and methods are described herein for product-level and contract-level risk checks. The risk checks are used to either allow or prevent a trading strategy. When a trading strategy is initiated, quoting and hedge orders to be entered are grouped based on their association with the same contract or the same product. Then, long and short positions are determined for each quoting order on order quantities of a quoting order and each hedge order that is triggered by the quoting order at the product level and the contract level. The long or short position that are contributed by the hedge orders may then be offset by the quantity of the quoting order in the same product or the same contract. The computed values are used to determine the worst case net product position and/or worst case contract position for the trading strategy.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for creating a vapor flame in a burner having an adjustable BTU output using a liquid diesel fuel and air mixture. A burner tube within which the fuel air mixture initially combusts to form a flame is heated from its outside circumference by a combustion flame within a counterflow chamber surrounding the burner tube. The temperature of the burner tube is maintained at a value where the fuel air mixture within the burner tube turns into vapor with a lack of combustion air which vapor fuels the flame within the counterflow chamber and which vapor also travels to a burner head where it combusts. The combustion air and compressor air are varied following establishment of the vapor flame to increase and decrease the heat output from the burner.

Abstract: A method for securing data and resetting a password using a content protection key is provided, in which the content protection key itself is protected by a password. A content protection key is also protected at a data storage device with a key encryption key generated in collaboration with an additional device such as a server. The server stores a private key required to regenerate the key encryption key, but this private key is not provided from the server to the data storage device; rather, a public key derived from the private key is provided by the server. The data storage device combines the received public key and a further private key to derive the key encryption key; the further private key itself is not stored by the data storage device, but rather its matching public key is stored. The content protection key is then encrypted using a password and the derived key encryption key. If the password is lost, data from the server and from the data storage device may be combined to recreate the key encryption key.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for estimating a resistivity property of an earth formation in a borehole with oil-based drilling fluid. The method may include estimating the resistivity property using a sensitivity of a real part of a measured impedance to a reactance of a gap between a resistivity sensor and a borehole wall. The real component and the quadrature component of resistivity measurements made by a two-terminal imaging tool in a borehole having an oil-based mud are affected by the tool standoff. It is shown that the sensitivity of the real part of the resistivity measurement to the reactance of the gap can be estimated from the time derivatives of the two components of the measurements. This makes possible a principal component analysis of the data to give an improved image of the formation resistivity.
