| 20090265267 | DERIVATIVES TRADING METHODS THAT USE A VARIABLE ORDER PRICE - Methods and systems for an exchange to handle variable derivative product order prices are disclosed. The price of a derivative product order (bid or offer) is updated based on changes in the price of a related underlying product. Price determination variable(s), such as delta and gamma, are used to determine the price of the order. The exchange may periodically recalculate the price without requiring the trader to transmit additional information to the exchange. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100121787 | HEDGING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH VARIABLE PRICED ORDERS FOR DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL PRODUCTS - Systems and methods are provided for executing a hedge transaction in connection with the execution of a derivative product order in which the price of the derivative product is defined by one or more variables. The hedge transaction may be executed at an exchange or match engine that is different from the exchange or match engine executing the derivative product order. The execution of derivative product transaction may be contingent on the existence of an appropriate hedge transaction. Alternatively, a best efforts approach may be used to fill the hedge transaction order after executing the derivative product transaction. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100306133 | Order Risk Management for Financial Product Processing - Systems and methods are provided for processing derivative product orders at an exchange. Traders provide derivative product order risk data to the exchange. The order risk data may include maximum delta, gamma and/or vega utilization values for derivative product contracts based on the same underlying product. Before executing a trade, a match system analyzes the trader's current utilization state and the utilization that would result after the trade. The match system may then execute all or a portion of the trade. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110082786 | HEDGING RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH VARIABLE PRICED ORDERS FOR DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL PRODUCTS - Systems and methods are provided for executing a hedge transaction in connection with the execution of a derivative product order in which the price of the derivative product is defined by one or more variables. The hedge transaction may be executed at an exchange or match engine that is different from the exchange or match engine executing the derivative product order. The execution of derivative product transaction may be contingent on the existence of an appropriate hedge transaction. Alternatively, a best efforts approach may be used to fill the hedge transaction order after executing the derivative product transaction. | 04-07-2011 |

| 20080241862 | PROPIONYL AND BUTYRYL LYSINE MODIFICATIONS IN PROTEINS - While the identification of acetylated lysine residues on proteins is well-known, the modification of lysine residues through propionylation and butyrylation is not very well understood. A method for the identification and mapping of propionylated and butyrylated lysine residues has been developed. Anti-acetyllysine antibody, normally used to affinity purify a protein mixture based on the presence of acetylated lysine, can also be used to affinity purity proteins having propionylated and butyrylated lysine residues due to the structural similarity. The method involves searching protein databases to locate mass spectrometry datasets for those proteins purified by anti-acetyllysine antibody. The located spectra are manually reviewed to identify those peptides having propionyllysine and butyryllysine residues. These identified peptides are synthesized, with the lysine modifications added at the appropriate positions. The synthesized proteins are then analyzed with mass spectrometry and the resultant spectra are compared to those located in the protein databases to confirm the location of the lysine modifications. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20080306155 | METHOD FOR TREATING RENAL DISEASE - A method preserving renal medullary blood flow in a renal disorder in a human or non-human animal is disclosed. The method involves administering 20-HETE or a 20-HETE analog to the human or non-human animal in an amount sufficient to attenuate a fall in renal medullary blood flow following a renal disorder. In addition, a method for preventing and treating ischemic acute renal failure is disclosed. The method involves administering 20-HETE or a 20-HETE agonist to the human or non-human animal in an amount sufficient to prevent or treat ischemic acute renal failure. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090253919 | Chiral thiourea compounds and process for enantioselective reduction of ketones - Chiral thioureas are effective catalysts for the borane reduction of prochiral ketones to optically active alcohols. A prochiral ketone may be reduced to an optically active alcohol in the presence of a substantially sub-stoichiometric amount of chiral thiourea. The asymmetric thiourea compound of the present invention may be produced according to a production method described herein. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20100048573 | Methods of Inhibiting Bacterial Virulence and Compounds Relating Thereto - The present invention relates to compounds and methods for the treatment of bacterial infections. Because their mechanism of action does not involve killing of bacteria or inhibiting their growth, the potential for these compounds to induce drug resistance in bacteria is minimized. Through inhibiting bacterial virulence, the present invention provides a novel means of treating bacterial infections. | 02-25-2010 |

| 20090037058 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE WITH A SEQUENCE OF VEHICLE EVENTS - A system and method for controlling a vehicle with a sequence of vehicle events. A user interface allows the recording of vehicle functions that are being manually executed. After the vehicle functions are entered, they can be saved as a sequence and named appropriately. Once saved, the operator can choose to edit the sequence functions or distances to make adjustments or shift the entire sequence in time. The saved sequence can be executed at a certain distance relative to a boundary being crossed by the machine. The boundaries themselves may be pre-defined in the system, and the system can determine when the boundary is crossed based on real-time GPS position and speed measurements from the vehicle. Error distances can also be measured on the ground to determine what type of sequence shift is needed for fine-tuning. As the vehicle speed is adjusted, the sequence can be continually tuned to allow the sequence to execute accurately in a variety of operations. | 02-05-2009 |

| 20090103047 | Tonometer Using Camera and Ambient Light - A tonometer uses ambient light available in an eye examining room, rather than a dedicated source of light, to examine a characteristic of an eye. A digital camera in the tonometer views an image of the eye as it is engaged by a contactor that applanates or indents the cornea. An electromagnetic mount for the contactor can supply a force pressing the contactor against the eye. While the examiner observes the resulting image a strain gauge can also measure the deformation pressure applied to the eye by the contactor. A microprocessor can then determine a characteristic of the eye from signals supplied by the camera and the strain gauge or the electromagnet force applier. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20110087086 | Method of Estimating Ocular Perfusion Pressure - A microprocessor-controlled tonometer measures both systole and diastole occurring in intraocular pressure so that this information can be used to estimate perfusion pressure. The microprocessor determines a ratio between ocular pulse amplitude and mean intraocular pressure, derives a multiplier from the ratio, multiplies the mean intraocular pressure by the multiplier to estimate mean central retinal artery pressure, and then estimates perfusion pressure by subtracting mean intraocular pressure from the estimate of central retinal artery pressure. | 04-14-2011 |
