| 20110042452 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING AND TRACKING REUSABLE PACKING CRATES - A method and system is provided for permanently and visibly marking reusable packing crates with a unique mark and using the mark to identify and track the crate in a manufacturing environment. The mark can include a two-dimensional barcode comprised of holes drilled through one or more sidewalls of the crate to produce a unique and permanent pattern for identification. The code can be used to identify a crate uniquely and to assign waypoint data, process management data and content data that can be stored in a computer database. The data can be used for tracking information capabilities and business intelligence in and for manufacturing management systems. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20140103277 | Hybrid Wedge Jack/Scissor Lift Lifting Apparatus and Method of Operation Thereof - A hybrid wedge jack/scissor lift device for lifting heavy loads is provided, the device having a horizontally-oriented actuator coupled to a wedge that acts on lower and upper rollers coupled to a scissor lift. In operation, the actuator can drive the wedge in between the rollers, spreading them apart to raise the scissor lift. When the actuator retracts, the wedge is removed and the scissor lift collapses under the weight of the load. The wedge can be shaped in such a way that the lift has one or more intrinsically safe positions in which the rollers on the scissor lift fit into seats on the wedge, preventing the scissor lift from collapsing in the event of an actuator failure. An optional restraint bar safety mechanism is also provided. | 04-17-2014 |

| 20140279716 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLASSIFYING ELECTRONIC INFORMATION USING ADVANCED ACTIVE LEARNING TECHNIQUES - Systems and methods for classifying electronic information or documents into a number of classes and subclasses are provided through an active learning algorithm. In certain embodiments, seed sets may be eliminated by merging relevance feedback and machine learning phases. In certain embodiments, the active learning algorithm forks a number of classification paths corresponding to predicted user coding decisions for a selected document. The active learning algorithm determines an order in which the documents of the collection may be processed and scored by the forked classification paths. Such document classification systems are easily scalable for large document collections, require less manpower and can be employed on a single computer, thus requiring fewer resources. Furthermore, the classification systems and methods described can be used for any pattern recognition or classification effort in a wide variety of fields. | 09-18-2014 |

| 20080228622 | Reserve order in an electronic guaranteed entitlement environment - An enhanced system and method for handling, matching and executing reserve orders in an electronic options environment is disclosed. Market maker entitlements are integrated with the reserve order processing, so that the market maker is guaranteed an allocation of the trade if the market maker is at the NBBO when a marketable reserve order is received. Once posted to the order book, only the displayed size of a reserve order is eligible for preferential execution in a market maker entitlement process. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080228623 | Discretionary order in an electronic guaranteed entitlement environment - An enhanced system and method for handling, matching and executing discretionary orders in an electronic options environment is disclosed. Market maker entitlements are integrated with the discretionary order processing, so that the market maker is guaranteed an allocation of the trade if the market maker is at the NBBO when an incoming discretionary order priced at or better than the NBBO is received. If the incoming discretionary order cannot execute at the NBBO using its display price, then it will use as much discretion as is required to participate in a market maker entitlement if the market maker is quoting at the NBBO, and to execute against the order book and route to away markets quotations at the NBBO. Once posted to the order book, only the display price of a discretionary order is eligible for preferential execution in a market maker entitlement process. | 09-18-2008 |
