US Patent:

7250950, Jul 31, 2007

Filed:

Mar 24, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/395713

Inventors:

Robin Young Smith - Raleigh NC, US
William Brian Ballard - Durham NC, US
David Albert Coleman - San Francisco CA, US

Assignee:

Symyx Technologies, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA

International Classification:

G06T 11/20

US Classification:

345440

Abstract:

The database is populated with target chemicals, corresponding listings of reagent chemicals, corresponding listings of equipment and corresponding listings of procedures. The database is then searched in response to user identification of a target chemical. In response, a listing is displayed of reagent chemicals that are used to synthesize the target chemical, equipment that is used to synthesize the target chemical, and a procedure that is used to synthesize the target chemical by reacting the reagent chemicals in the equipment according to the procedure. An icon-based reaction editor and/or context-sensitive Boolean query option generators may be provided. A reaction template may be used to perform predictive chemistry. A reaction relay may be used to graphically display related chemicals and procedures using a hub and spoke arrangement.

International Classification:

G06F007/00

US Classification:

707/001000

Abstract:

In response to a user query that identifies a target chemical, a listing is displayed of reagent chemicals that are used to synthesize the target chemical. A listing also is displayed of equipment that is used to synthesize the target chemical. A listing also is displayed of a procedure that is used to synthesize the target chemical by reacting the reagent chemicals in the equipment according to the procedure. User input is accepted to electronically order the reagent chemicals that are used to synthesize the target chemical, the target chemical itself, and/or the equipment that is used to synthesize the target chemical. In response, a transaction is performed to electronically order the reagent chemicals that are used to synthesize the target chemical, the equipment that is used to synthesize the target chemical and/or the target chemical itself. Prior to accepting a user identification of a target chemical, a database is populated with target chemicals, corresponding listings of reagent chemicals, corresponding listings of equipment, and corresponding listings of procedures. The database then is searched in response to a user identification of a target chemical.
