Title: 満足度密度プロファイルを利用したかけあわせネットワーク
IPC: G06F/
Filed: 1996-04-26
Abstract: (57)【要約】
満足度および量のプロファイルに基づいて、買い注文および売り注文をつりあわせるかけあわせネットワークが開示されている。このかけあわせネットワークは注文を入力するために用いられ得るいくつもの売買業者端末を含んでいる。注文は、さまざまな（価格、量）の組み合わせで特定の文書を売買することへの満足の程度を表している満足度密度プロファイルの形式で入力される。典型的には、各注文は、買い注文または売り注文である。売買業者端末はマッチングコントローラコンピュータに連結されている。マッチングコントローラコンピュータは、売買業者端末のそれぞれの１つで入力された満足度密度プロファイルを入力として受け取ることができる。マッチングコントローラコンピュータは、プロセスの（平均価格およびフィルサイズという点での）全体的な結果が全売買業者の相互満足を最大にすることを各売買業者に保証するように、（各売買業者の満足度密度プロファイルによって表されている）注文をつりあわせる。典型的には、つりあわせプロセスは匿名性である。つりあわせプロセスは、継続的あるいはバッチプロセス、あるいはこれら２つのハイブリッドであり得る。つりあわされていない満足度密度プロファイルは、開きおよび値決め情報を提供するために用いられ得る。また、価格および量以外のファクターを満足の程度を決定するために用いてもよい。随意に、証券取引所のルール、例えば、サイズあるいは他のいかなる事由にかかわらず、最良の価格を提示している注文に優先度を与えることを必要とするといったルールに適応するように、つりあわせプロセスにおいてあるプロファイルに優先度を与えてもよい。このかけあわせネットワークは、証券業界において、および証券以外の産業への応用についての両方で有用性を有している。

Title: Sheathed power cable with resistive layer between sheath and single core:cable installation
Inventor: BALL E H
IPC: H01B9/02
Filed: 1982-07-23
Abstract: A single-core electrical power cable for use at 400 kV for example has a relatively high-resistance inner shield located between and insulated from the central core of the cable and its low resistance metallic outer sheath. The inner shield is kept continuous throughout the cable run of installations where, for avoidance of currents circulating in the cable sheath, the sheath continuity is broken at spaced-apart locations. By virtue of such continuity, the inner shield provides a continuous path for surges developed in the cable as the result of lightning strikes or switching operations thereby preventing the development of corresponding high transient overvoltages at the outer cable sheath and particularly at the discontinuities therein. It is thus possible to dispense with the surge voltage limiters previously required to be coupled to the outer cable sheath at intermediate positions of cross-bonded systems.

Title: Friction welding of thermoplastic strap
Inventor: CHEUNG N
IPC: B65B13/32
Filed: 1987-03-30
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for securing together overlapping portions of a thermoplastic strap loop around an object. The overlapping strap portions are forced together in face-to-face contact under pressure. During or before the step of forcing the strap portions together, the energy in the strap portions is increased so as to melt at least a part of the thickness of each strap portion at the interface region. One embodiment of the method also includes forming a plurality of cavities that are distributed across the width of the molten parts adjacent the ends of the molten parts and that are surrounded by the molten parts. The step of increasing the energy is then terminated, and the strap portions at the interface region subsequently solidify, to encapsulate the cavities and form the welded joint. In another, and preferred, embodiment of the invention, the pressure on the strap portions is released while the parts of the strap portions are molten (whether or not cavities are present), and the strap portions at the interface region subsequently solidify in the absence of pressure.

Title: An echo-ranging electronic boundary system
Inventor: PEINETTI DONALD L
IPC: A01K15/02
Filed: 1998-12-18
Abstract: An echo-ranging boundary system is provided for controlling the access of animals to predefined areas. An electronic transponder collar is affixed to an animal for exclusion from a predefined area. An ultrasonic beacon, defining a transmission reference point, periodically transmits a directional ultrasonic interrogation signal for determining the location of animals provided with transponder collars. The transponder collar emits an ultrasonic reply signal, detected by the station after a period of time defined by the propagation delay of the ultrasonic reply signal. The propagation delay of the reply signal is directly proportional to the distance between the transponder and the interrogation signal reference point. A timing threshold is set at the transmission station corresponding to a desired control distance. Reply signals returned before a device time-out are compared to the timing threshold. If the elapsed time of the propagated reply signal is less than the user selected threshold a correction pulse is transmitted to the animal transponder collar.
