An automated exchange system for trading an order having a hidden volume. An order is received requesting a hidden volume trade. The automated exchange generates an open volume with a random / pseudo-random size and / or at a random / pseudo-random time based on one or more parameters associated with the order.

The invention provides information to the potential customer about the vehicle for sale, including information relating to other similar vehicles for sale in a particular geographical area that can be accessed at the point of sale, or by the customer at a later time and place. The party offering the product for sale is informed each time the customer accesses the information, thereby indicating the level of interest by the customer.

Generating a price schedule involves generating a graph (50) having paths that include states (52) with values (54, 56, 58). The graph (50) is generated by determining the values (56, 58) of a successor state (52) from the values (56, 58) of a predecessor state (52). An optimal path is selected, and a price schedule is determined from the optimal path. Computing an elasticity curve involves having a demand model, values for demand model, and filter sets that restrict the values. Elasticity curves are determined by filtering the values using filter sets, and calculating the elasticity curve using the demand model. An best-fitting elasticity curve is selected. Adjusting a demand forecast value (56) includes estimating an inventory and a demand at a number of locations (24). An expected number of unrealized sales at each location (24) is calculated. An sales forecast value (56) is determined according to the expected number.

One embodiment of the present invention provides a method and system that computes the optimal level of the reserve price for an auction, with respect to a multiplicity of possible evaluation criteria that the end user of the system may specify. In one embodiment, structural elements characterizing the auction situation are estimated from bid data available on past auctions. The estimated structural elements are then used in the formulation of the user's expected payoff as a function of the reserve price. This objective function is then optimized to obtain the best level of the reserve price. In one embodiment, this method is implemented by a process executed on a computer system, under the control of software and firmware directing the operation of its processors and components. In one embodiment, a computer readable medium causes a computer system to execute the steps in a process for implementing the method.

The invention includes a method and system to provide a competitive pricing tool so that automobile dealers can more efficiently and effectively price their used vehicles. The system achieves the optimal sales price by obtaining the relevant pricing and mileage of vehicles for sale that are similarly situated to the focus vehicle. Once the information is obtained, the system creates a value ranking for each of the vehicles for sale and for the focus vehicle. The user is then able to revise the focus vehicle pricing to determine the optimal sales price.

The invention relates to an E0-grade melamine modified urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive, and a preparation method and application thereof. The E0-grade melamine modified urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive is characterized by comprising an E0-grade melamine modified urea-formaldehyde resin, a composite curing agent and a composite filler, wherein the E0-grade melamine modified urea-formaldehyde resin is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by mass: 100 parts of formaldehyde, 0.1-0.5 part of polyvinyl alcohol, 100-200ml of basic catalyst and 200-400ml of acidic catalyst; the mol ratio of the formaldehyde to the urea+melamine (F / (U+M)) is equal to 0.80-0.98; the composite curing agent is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by mass: 200-250 parts of ammonium chloride, 150-200 parts of oxalic acid, 400-450 parts of citric acid, 100-150 parts of tartaric acid and 500-800 parts of water; and the composite filler is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by mass: 60 parts of industrial flour, 20 parts of 800-mesh light calcium carbonate and 20 parts of 800-mesh wood meal. The E0-grade melamine modified urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive is used for gluing plates. The E0-grade melamine modified urea-formaldehyde resin adhesive has the advantages of low free formaldehyde content, low cost, favorable precompression performance, good gluing performance and the like.

A method and system for supporting e-commerce transactions directed to placement of advertising on dynamic signs by creating dynamic e-commerce Web sites for permitting consumers to select and acquire time and space on selective signs, for managing the content of a consumer message and for collecting payment for the acquired time and space. The content may be provided by the consumer by uploading it to the Web sites or by the manager of the Web site. Space and time may be auctioned over the Web sites, allowing consumers to competitively bid for specific space and time blocks.

A pneumatic suspension system for a vehicle includes a compressed air accumulator, a compressed air transport device, at least one pneumatic bellows and an electrically controllable reversing valve used to connect the compressed air accumulator to a suction connection of the compressed air transport device, in order to increase the amount of air in the pneumatic bellows in a first switching position, and to connect an outlet connection of the compressed air transport device to the pneumatic bellows, also used to connect the pneumatic bellows to the suction connection of the compressed air transport device and the outlet connection of the compressed air transport device to the pressure accumulator in a second switching position in order to reduce the amount of air in the pneumatic bellows. The reversing valve can be pre-controlled with the compressed air of the pneumatic suspension system.
