| 20100212406 | COLLECTION OF DISSOLVED GASES FROM GROUNDWATER - A system for rapid collection of large volumes of dissolved gases from groundwater pumps the water from a large-diameter passage through a small-diameter restrictor passage, and then into a flow-through collection chamber. The small-diameter passage causes a drop in the hydrostatic pressure of the groundwater traveling therein, causing spontaneous ebullition of gas bubbles, which are then collected in the collection chamber. A treatment station within the passages selectively alters the concentration of dissolved gases within the groundwater. Testing reveals that the gases are collected in proportion to their presence in the groundwater, and thus the system allows accurate quantification of concentrations of dissolved gas in groundwater. The system may beneficially be made easily portable, thereby allowing its use in the field, as well as in laboratory settings. | 08-26-2010 |

| 20090012912 | Method and System For Simulating Implied Volatility Surface For Basket Option Pricing - A method and system for simulating changes in volatility for a price of a particular option on an underlying financial instrument is disclosed. A volatility surface model having at least one surface parameter is provided along with a set of volatilities for a plurality of options on the underlying financial instrument. The set of volatilities is analyzed to determine an initial value for each surface parameter which, when used in the surface model, defines a surface approximating the set of volatilities. The values of the surface parameters are then evolved using an appropriate evolution function. A volatility value for a particular option is extracted from the volatility surface defined by the evolved surface parameter values. The extracted volatility value can then be used in an option pricing model to provide a price of the particular option. The volatility of a basket options valued relative to the performance of multiple components can be simulated by determining the value of surface parameters for options on the component securities and then combining the component surface parameters to determine surface parameters for a volatility surface of the basket. | 01-08-2009 |

The set of historical residual values is standardized and can be bootstrapped to increase the number of members in the set or vary the sets properties. Values of the historical residuals are then selected, e.g., at random, and used in place of the random noise components to produce simulated risk factor values which are used in the parametric model to simulate the evolution of the instrument price. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110173137 | Method and System for Stress Testing Simulations of the Behavior of Financial Instruments - A method and system for simulating changes in volatility for a price of a particular option on an underlying financial instrument is disclosed. A volatility surface model having at least one surface parameter is provided along with a set of volatilities for a plurality of options on the underlying financial instrument. The set of volatilities is analyzed to determine an initial value for each surface parameter which, when used in the surface model, defines a surface approximating the set of volatilities under normal market conditions. The values of the surface parameters are then evolved using an appropriate evolution function. Prior to applying the surface parameters to the model, the parameter values can be adjusted to introduce changes in offset, skew, term, or other parameters of the volatility surface to allow for simulation of unusual market conditions. A volatility value for a particular option is extracted from the volatility surface defined by the evolved and stress-adjusted surface parameter values. The extracted volatility value can then be used in an option pricing model to provide a price of the particular option. | 07-14-2011 |
