A method and apparatus effectuates bilateral commerce in ideas. An originator and user-driven on-line commercial network system is designed to facilitate idea submission, purchase, and licensing, and is easily adapted to business-to-business transfers of innovation as well as consumer-to-business transfers of innovation. The invention allows originators of ideas to communicate nondisclosing synopses of ideas globally to potential users, for users conveniently to search for relevant ideas and for users potentially to bind an originator to a limited duration license granting user the exclusive right to access and consider confidentially the originator's fully disclosed idea. The invention also allows users to communicate confidentially or nonconfidentially unsolved problems or needs globally to potential originators, for originators conveniently to search for relevant unsolved problems or needs, and for originators to submit and communicate confidentially proposed solutions to the soliciting user.

A trading system transitions from a first state to a second state and may award a participant, when one or more criteria and / or a status of trading rights are met, with an exclusive and / or semi-exclusive right in the second state to trade on an incoming contra order.

A data processing system including multiple processors 6, 8, 10, 12 each with a local cache memory 14, 16, 18, 20 share a main memory 24 under control of a coherency controller 22. Store requests from a store requester which are to be serviced by data received from the main memory 24 trigger the coherency controller 22 to return exclusive rights to access the data to the store requester before the corresponding data is returned from the main memory 24. The store requester uses possession of the exclusive rights to access the data to permit further processing with an ordering constraint relative to the store request to proceed even though the store request has yet to be finished. The ordering constraint may be, for example, a fence instruction. The store requester in possession of the exclusive rights to access the data values ensures that the store request is finished and its results observed by any instruction as required by the ordering constraint it has released early.

The invention provides a road intersection guiding device with public transportation stops. The road intersection guiding device comprises entrance lanes, exit lanes and guiding islands. Exclusive right-turn lanes communicating with the corresponding after-right-turn exit lanes are arranged on the right sides of an intersection and the corresponding entrance lanes. Each entrance lane comprises a social vehicle entrance lane body on the inner side and a mixed-traveling entrance lane body which is located on the outer side and used for allowing social vehicles and public transportation vehicles to pass through, wherein the mixed-traveling entrance lane body comprises a straight-traveling lane on the outermost side and a left-turn lane on the secondary outer side. The front end of each mixed-traveling entrance lane body is provided with a traffic sign used for dividing lane functions and a straight-traveling and right-turn vehicle interweaving area. Each guiding island is provided with a passenger waiting area of the corresponding public transportation stop, wherein the left side of the passenger waiting area is provided with a public transportation parking area located at a lane on the outermost side of the corresponding exit lane. According to the road intersection guiding device, through detailed design of the guiding islands and the public transportation stops, the space utilization rates of the guiding islands can be increased, the public transportation transfer distances of passengers are shortened, and influence, of parking of the public transportation vehicles, on the social vehicle traffic at the intersection is reduced.
