International Classification:

G07F 17/32

G06Q 50/00

Abstract:

A suggestion method for aftermarket brokered wagers includes selecting a subscriber to an aftermarket brokered wager computing system and determining at least one profile characteristic for the subscriber. Thereafter, a set of available wagers owned by other subscribers are filtered according to the determined profile characteristic to produce a recommended wager owned by a specific one of the other subscribers. Consequently, a message is pushed to a mobile device of the selected subscriber recommending a fractional purchase of the recommended wager at odds established at a time of acquisition of the recommended wager irrespective of contemporaneous odds for the recommended wager. In response to the acceptance of the recommended fractional purchase by the selected subscriber, a registry entry is then written in the brokered wager computing system denoting a fractional ownership of the recommended wager by the selected subscriber along with the specific one of the other subscribers.

International Classification:

C09G 1/02
C23F 1/30
B24B 37/04
C23F 11/04

Abstract:

The invention provides a chemical-mechanical polishing composition including (a) an abrasive comprising alumina particles, silica particles, or a combination thereof, (b) a rate accelerator comprising a phosphonic acid, an N-heterocyclic compound, or a combination thereof, (c) a corrosion inhibitor comprising an amphoteric surfactant, a sulfonate, a phosphonate, a carboxylate, a fatty acid amino acid, an amine, an amide, or a combination thereof, (d) an oxidizing agent, and (e) an aqueous carrier. The invention also provides a method of polishing a substrate, especially a substrate comprising a cobalt layer, with the polishing composition.
