20100169237 | INVESTMENT CLASSIFICATION AND TRACKING SYSTEM USING DIAMOND RATINGS - The present invention is directed to an asset classification system based on investment strategy. The system determines a number for performance measures and strategy classifications. These measures indicate, in one configuration, an extent to which a security or manager is outperforming or attempting to outperform a benchmark and how successful the security or manager has been based on historic performance data. | 07-01-2010 |

20120254064 | STRATEGY MARKET BAROMETER - The present invention is directed to an alternative method for gauging market participant behavior, which is identified herein as “Market Barometer.” In one embodiment, Market Barometer is based on the recent performance ranks of particular equity strategy indices as compared to their historical ranks. Significant deviations from historical ranks is a predictor of market performance over subsequent near term time periods, for example, a subsequent month and, in turn, these deviations can be used to estimate the current market expected return. Empirical tests reveal that expected market returns vary over time in line with Market Barometer readings. | 10-04-2012 |

20090055625 | Parallel Processing Systems And Method - Methods and systems for parallel computation of an algorithm using a plurality of nodes configured as a Howard Cascade. A home node of a Howard Cascade receives a request from a host system to compute an algorithm identified in the request. The request is distributed to processing nodes of the Howard Cascade in a time sequence order in a manner to minimize the time to so expand the Howard Cascade. The participating nodes then perform the designated portion of the algorithm in parallel. Partial results from each node are agglomerated upstream to higher nodes of the structure and then returned to the host system. The nodes each include a library of stored algorithms accompanied by data template information defining partitioning of the data used in the algorithm among the number of participating nodes. | 02-26-2009 |

20140353493 | ION MOBILITY SPECTROMETRY-MASS SPECTROMETRY (IMS-MS) WITH IMPROVED ION TRANSMISSION AND IMS RESOLUTION - An interface for an ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) system includes a first ion guide for receiving ions from an IMS drift cell, and a second ion guide for receiving ions from the first ion guide, and positioned in a chamber separate from the first ion guide. Electrodes of the second ion guide subject the ions to an axial DC electric field while the second ion guide is held at a lower pressure than the first ion guide. In some embodiments, the first ion guide may be an ion funnel and the second ion guide may be a linear multipole device. | 12-04-2014 |

20140101533 | LOSSLESS APPLICATION OF NEW INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE TO EXISTING WEBSITES, WEB PAGES, AND ONLINE CONTENT - A method and system that applies an information architecture (IA) to an existing website, set of web pages, or other online content. The method and system may allow a user to apply IA to web pages in situ, and through a visual point and click process. This prevents the loss of content and/or look and feel as IA changes are being applied, provides immediate visual feedback to the user, dramatically reducing the skill required to make IA choices, and makes subsequent content migration and/or “reassembly” of websites or pages unnecessary. | 04-10-2014 |

20090265675 | On Chip Local MOSFET Sizing - A method for reducing variation in a desired property between transistors in an integrated circuit that is fabricated with a given process. The process is characterized to form a mathematical model that associates changes in polysilicon density and active density in the integrate circuit with changes in gate length and gate width in the transistors, and associates changes in the gate length and the gate width to the desired property. The integrated circuit is laid out with space sufficient to adjust the gate length and the gate width of the transistors without violating design rules of the transistors. The integrated circuit is divided into portions, and for at least a given one of the portions of the integrated circuit, the polysilicon density and the active density of the given portion is measured. For at least one of the transistors in the given portion of the integrated circuit, at least one of the gate length and the gate width of the transistor is selectively adjusted according to the mathematical model, based on at least one of the polysilicon density and the active density of the given portion, to reduce variation in the desired property between the transistors in the integrated circuit. | 10-22-2009 |
