International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 37

Abstract:

A computer network and method for electronically trading derivatives. One preferred method of trading includes providing indicative quotes to market participants (which typically includes subscribers, but may also include market makers) to provide a non-binding indication of how the market makers are likely to price the particular derivative. A participant may then submit an RFQ, which is a request for a binding quote for the derivative. The RFQ preferably causes the current order book to be displayed on all subscribers' terminals, typically in the form of a row indicating the derivative of interest along with the current binding bid and binding ask prices. The indicative bid and ask prices may also be displayed, as well as the quantity (if any) requested in the RFQ. Market participants may then elect to submit an order for the corresponding derivative. Typically, the market participants will await an indication that a market maker has submitted a binding quote.

705 37, 705 36 R

Abstract:

A computer network and method for electronically trading derivatives. The system includes networks and methods where a control or network managing station in the network acts as a facilitator for the market makers and subscribers to make a trade at an Exchange. In another embodiment the network managing station consummates the trade between a market maker and a subscriber by matching binding quotes and orders and clears the trade at an Exchange. The computer network for electronically trading derivative uses: (a) network managing station; (b) one or more market maker stations; (c) one or more subscriber stations; (d) one or more Exchanges. The network managing station connects market makers and subscribers for making real time indicative quotes, issuing requests for quotes, obtaining binding quotes and wherein the market maker and subscriber are in communication with an Exchange for sending binding quotes and orders to the Exchange for clearing and confirming transactions.

Inventors:

John H. Gilmore - Naperville IL

International Classification:

G08B 1308

US Classification:

340547

Abstract:

A security circuit includes a power supply and one or more modular switch units and a modular alarm unit. Each modular unit includes two standard multiple-conductor telephone jack sockets, with at least one conductor of each socket connected to the circuitry of the unit, with all of the other conductors of one socket being respectively directly connected in-line to the corresponding conductors of the other socket. The modular units are interconnectable with standard telephone connector cables having modular telephone jack plugs mateable with the sockets. The power supply may be a battery which may also be provided with modular telephone jack sockets. Alternatively, the circuit may be powered from the RS-232 serial port of a personal computer, the telephone connector cable being coupled thereto through a standard adapter. Different versions of switch units and alarm units are disclosed. Series circuits are terminated with a spiral terminator plug.
