摘要:
Systems and methods for a computer-implemented auction bidding process that assigns a winning bid quantity and a winning bid amount to each bid in an ordered list of bids by a single resolution of the ordered bid list based on the maximum amount the bidder is willing to pay for the offered item(s). The bid list is ordered by one or more criteria, including the maximum amount to which the submitted bid may be increased via an autobid feature, and resolution of the bid list considers these criteria in assigning bid quantities and bid amounts to each bid.

A system and method provides efficient message processing of assets. The system and method places all messages in a queue as they are received from an information feed and groups the messages according to the entities with which they are associated. The messages within each group are sorted according to the time the message was generated by the information feed, and then are processed in the order in which they were generated.

The invention relates to an end wall of a metal container having a score therein. The end wall is made of a composite metal sheet made of two or more metal layers, one of the layers being made of an aluminum alloy of high strength (e.g. a high magnesium alloy such as AA5182, AA5042 or AA5082, optionally with increased Mg), and another of the layers being made of an aluminum alloy having a good resistance to stress corrosion cracking (e.g. aluminum alloys AA3004, AA3104, AA5006 or AA5005), wherein at least the bottom of the score is formed by a surface of the alloy of good resistance to stress corrosion cracking.

An assay device includes a first reagent including a magnetic particle and a second reagent including detectable component. The first and second reagent can each independently bind to an analyte in a sample. A time-varying magnetic field can be used to distinguish detectable components that are associated with analyte from detectable components not associated with analyte.

The present disclosure provides center-filled confectionery products and apparatuses and methods for producing the center-filled confectionery products. The apparatuses include a forming device with cooperatively engaging first and second forming members. The center-filled confectionery products may be released from the forming device with or without the use of an ejection device. The ejection device may comprise plunger members that contact the center-filled confectionery or may comprise a non-contact ejection device. The apparatuses further include an extruder having a housing. The housing has an inlet for receiving a material, at least one extrusion screw within the interior of the housing, and at least device in cooperative communication with the inlet and the extrusion screw. The extruder provides a process that allows for improved blending of chewing gum ingredients and improved processability of the chewing gum product.

The invention relates to an apparatus for visually instructing biomechanical and ergonomic movements, such as instructions for operating fitness equipment, postures for office workers, and other activities that require proper body posture and manipulation to be performed. The invention comprises a lenticular panel capturing at least two images of the biomechanical movements, wherein each of said at least two images capturing a body posture and at least one muscle group affected by the biomechanical movements. The first one of the images captures a start posture and the last captures a finish posture. The images are overlaid on top of each other for a user to easily identify and implement proper body postures and movements by altering his or her angle of viewing perspective and by comparing the images.

Description is provided herein for an embodiment of a method determining a hematocrit-corrected glucose concentration. The exemplary method includes providing a test strip having a reference electrode and a working electrode, wherein the working electrode includes a plurality of microelectrodes and is coated with at least an enzyme and a mediator. The method can be achieved by: providing a test strip comprising a reference electrode and a working electrode formed with a plurality of microelectrodes and coated with a reagent layer; applying a fluid sample to the test strip for a reaction period; applying a test voltage between the reference electrode and the working electrode; measuring a test current as a function of time; measuring a steady state current value when the test current has reached an equilibrium; calculating a ratio of the test current to the steady state current value; plotting the ratio of the test current to the steady state current value as a function of the inverse square root of time; calculating an effective diffusion coefficient from the slope of the linearly regressed plot of the ratio of the test current to the steady state current value as a function of the inverse square root of time; and calculating a hematocrit-corrected concentration of analyte.
