An anonymous trading system (FIG.) identifies the best bids and offers (QuoteSubmit, FIG.) from those counterparties (WS A) with which each party (WS A, WS A, . . . . WSA) is currently eligible to deal, while maintaining the anonymity of the potential counterparty and the confidentiality of any specific credit limitations imposed by the anonymous potential counterparty. To that end, each bid or offer (QuoteSubmit, FIG.) for a particular type of financial instrument is prescreened by the system for compatibility with limited credit information (for example, a one bit flag indicating whether a predetermined limit has already been exceeded) and an anonymous 'Dealable' price () is calculated for each of the traders (WS A, . . . WS A) dealing with that particular financial instrument.

The invention relates to an improved ejection seat restraint system for protecting the head and neck and spinal cord from injuries resulting from rapid forward deceleration and ejection from aircraft. The neck of human beings is at risk from lethal spinal cord injury with rupture of the atlanto-occipital membrane which holds the base of the skull to first cervical vertebra. Such lethal injuries according to the invention are prevented by a single inertial reel connection to the helmet of the user, at a point, aligned with or slightly above the superior nuchal line of the skull of the user. The helmet includes forehead padding, a wrap around cup shaped chin strap and an adjustable nape strap. The webbing for the inertial reel connection is preferably medium to soft. The slight forward movement of the head and neck allowed by soft/medium webbing will attenuate the forces applied to the head and neck junction during forward-deceleration or upward vertical ejection-acceleration (from a military high performance fighter/bomber aircraft). Thus, the restraint is along a line passing through a very small zone located at the lower central posterior area of the back of the head.
