International Classification:

A61M 1600

US Classification:

12820714, 12820024

Abstract:

An endotracheal tube and a method for using an endotracheal tube are disclosed. In one embodiment, the endotracheal tube includes a tubular member including a distal end and a proximal end. The endotracheal tube also includes a plurality of visually distinct regions that is closer to the proximal end than the distal end. Each visually distinct region is spaced from other visually distinct regions, and each of the distinct region comprises a respectively different color.

Appl. No.:

10/053253

Assignee:

Protein Mechanics, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06G007/48
G06G007/58

US Classification:

703/011000, 703/012000

Abstract:

For the computer modeling of molecules, a model with reduced coordinates is used with sufficiently stable implicit integration methods integrating the model's equations of motion. The timesteps in the integration method can vary in a range over 100 to greatly increase the computer's efficiency and to hasten the computational results. Both static analysis and molecular dynamics simulations are some ready applications.

Appl. No.:

10/052919

Inventors:

Michael Hollars - Sunnyvale CA, US
Michael Sherman - Mountain View CA, US

Assignee:

Protein Mechanics - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06G007/48
G06G007/58

US Classification:

703/011000, 703/012000

Abstract:

The present invention provides for a method for validating a computer modeling of a molecular system. The method has the steps of selecting a model parameter of the molecular system; selecting a validation measure of the molecular system; simulating the molecular system by the computer modeling with the selected model parameter; then determining a value of the validation measure of said molecular system from the simulating step; and testing whether the value of the validation measure is in a predetermined range to validate the computer modeling. The method can be performed iteratively by varying the model parameter continuously, such as varying a temperature model parameter, or discretely, such as substituting for different residues in a protein.

Assignee:

Protein Mechanics, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06F019/00

US Classification:

702/027000

Abstract:

Methods of obtaining directional information of a solvent-accessible surface of an atom or molecule are described. Also disclosed are methods for simulating the kinetic behavior of a solute molecule in a solvent are also described. The methods utilize a representation of the solvent-accessible surface of the solute molecule which includes information on the geometric orientation of the surface relative to the molecule, and using the representation in a corrected kinetic model to simulate the kinetic behavior of the solute molecule in the solvent.

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705035000

Abstract:

In one aspect, the invention comprises a method comprising issuing perpetual preferred securities that provide non-cumulative dividends with a fixed liquidation preference; wherein valuation of the securities upon redemption or conversion is based on market value of a specified number of common shares, and wherein the securities are operable to receive treasury stock method accounting. In various embodiments: (1) the securities receive C or D Basket treatment from Moody's; (2) the securities receive treasury stock method accounting because, upon conversion or redemption, common shares are issued only with respect to the valuation of the securities in excess of the fixed liquidation preference; and (3) upon conversion or redemption the number of common shares is equal to (A×B−C)/B, where A=a conversion rate, B=price per share of the common shares, and C=the fixed liquidation preference.

US Classification:

70503600R

Abstract:

In one aspect, the invention comprises a security that: (a) is tax deductible; (b) receives equity credit of 40-75% from Moody's and S&P; and (c) qualifies for net share settled accounting. In another aspect, the invention comprises a method comprising: (a) structuring a convertible security to be tax deductible; (b) structuring the convertible security to receive equity credit of 40-75% from Moody's and S&P; (c) structuring the convertible security to qualify for net share settled accounting; and (d) issuing the security.
