Method for reiterative betting based on supply and demand of betting shares

A betting method determines rate of return on a bet by employing supply and demand forces. The bet can be made on any uncertain future event that has at least two outcomes (e.g. sporting events, financial market fluctuations, and elections). Investors that place a bet on a particular outcome provide money to a betting machine and receive shares (specific to the chosen outcome) in return. For each possible outcome there is a share type. Shares that correspond with the winning bet have a certain guaranteed value when the outcome is determined; losing share types are normally defined as worthless. Before the winning bet is determined, share values are calculated following a supply and demand model according to the following equation:Q1=B1BTotwhere Q1 is the share value for shares corresponding to a first outcome, B1 is the amount bet upon the first outcome, and BTot is the total amount bet on all outcomes. Analogous equations determine share values for all other outcomes. In the present method, share value calculations can be reiterated so that new bets can be placed, and shares can be redeemed for money before the event occurs. In subsequent iterations, the machine exchanges shares for money from new investors and exchanges money for shares redeemed by investors from a previous iteration. The machine calculates revised share values for each outcome based on the amounts of money and shares exchanged. The calculation of the new share values generally involves the solution of a polynomial of order n+1, where n is the number of different outcomes.

A task effort estimator may determine a probability distribution of an estimated effort needed to complete unfinished tasks in a project based on one or more of a set of completed tasks belonging to a project and attributes associated with the completed tasks belonging to the project, a set of completed tasks not belonging to the project and attributes associated with the completed tasks not belonging to the project, or the combination of both. A project completion predictor may determine a probability distribution of completion time for the project based on the probability distribution of an estimated effort needed to complete the unfinished tasks in the project, and one or more resource and scheduling constraints associated with the project.

Method of analyzing question responses to select among defined possibilities and means of accomplishing same

The disclosed invention is a computerized testing methodology which uses Yes / No answers to questions to make the most appropriate selection from a set of defined possibilities. With regard to a topic which is being analyzed, a set of possible outcomes is defined. A database of questions which bear upon these outcomes is developed and each outcome is ranked in relation to each question as to how much that question indicates that outcome. This is a serial ranking of 1 through the number of possible outcomes. Additional weight factors may be used along with these rankings. As questions are answered, these rankings and weights are used to calculate accumulating scores for the possible outcomes. A formula is provided to choose a balanced selection of questions initially and then shift to questions which focus on the indicated likely outcomes as the questioning progresses. Upon termination of the questioning process, the outcomes having the highest percent accumulated score to possible score are deemed indicated by the method. The process may be repeated to obtain a second most indicated outcome. Means of storing, using, and presenting the method are also disclosed.

Parallelized dynamic Huffman decoder

Several code detectors in parallel simultaneously examine varying overlapping segments of a data stream containing variable length codes, referred to as a data window. The data window segments directly address memory structures within each of the code detectors without any previous logic stages. Each code detector is responsible for a range of code lengths, and ignores data window bits that are not relevant to its code length range. Each code detector outputs a possible result to a layer of logic that selects the possible result of the single code detector which contains result data corresponding to a variable length code in the data window.

Method and apparatus for predicting outcomes of a home equity line of credit

A method and apparatus are described where account information is used to predict possible outcomes of a HELOC. To predict the possible outcomes, HELOC account state transition probabilities are modeled. The transition probabilities, determined by historic data regression analysis, provide the framework for a Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation is seeded with HELOC account information. A calculation engine takes the account information and simulates an elapse of time using a random number generator and the state transition probabilities. The simulation results in updated account information predicting a possible outcome over the elapsed time interval. The updated account information in turn may be used by the calculation engine to simulate the next elapse of time. This method may be iteratively repeated with the account information propagated forward until the end of the prediction period is reached.

Method for selecting recombinase variants with altered specificity

Disclosed are variants of Cre recombinase that have broadened specificity for the site of recombination. Specifically, the disclosed variants mediate recombination between sequences other than the loxP sequence and other lox site sequences on which wild type Cre recombinase is active. In general, the disclosed Cre variants mediate efficient recombination between lox sites that wild type Cre can act on (referred to as wild type lox sites), between variant lox sites not efficiently utilized by wild type Cre (referred to as variant lox sites), and between a wild type lox site and a variant lox site. Also disclosed are methods or recombining nucleic acids using the disclosed Cre variants. For example, the disclosed Cre variants can be used in any method or technique where Cre recombinase (or other, similar recombinases such as FLP) can be used. In addition, the disclosed Cre variants allow different alternative recombinations to be performed since the Cre variants allow much more efficient recombination between wild type lox sites and variant lox sites. Control of such alternative recombination can be used to accomplish more sophisticated sequential recombinations to achieve results not possible with wild type Cre recombinase.

WSN (wireless sensor network) rapid self-positioning method based on triangle form estimation

The invention discloses a WSN (wireless sensor network) rapid self-positioning method based on triangle form estimation. From the aspect of triangle form estimation, a triangle centroid positioning algorithm having the minimal error is studied, and a concept of effective triangle is proposed. The triangle centroid algorithm is used on effective triangles and the error in positioning is minimal. The positioning algorithm is used on all triangles which satisfy basic conditions of effective triangle. All solved possible points are formed into a polygon. The centroid is obtained again, and an estimated position of an unknown node is obtained. Accidental calculation error is prevented by using anchor node information in a network and through a method of obtaining a mean value from multiple possible results. A method of two points positioning is introduced. In the case of only two anchor nodes, the positioning of the unknown node is realized by using an auxiliary anchor node. The positioning coverage rate of nodes is effectively improved without increasing hardware equipment and complexity.
