1 General Matters. - Oligomerization of carbamate 52 in the presence of sodium hydride gave only cyclic products which are cyclodextrin analogues.  

Hexa-6-O-Tbdms a-CD was converted to the hexa-2,3-anhydro-D-mfl no compound via a 2-sulfonylated intermediate and hence to the hexa-u/tro-CD. A fructanotransferase catalyses the degradation of insulin into cycloinulo-sac-charides.  

The AMBER force field programme has been modified to reproduce the observed properties of a-CD, p-CD and larger cyclomaltosaccharides.  

Hepta-2,6-di-0-methyl-p-CD enhanced solubility (by up to 100-fold) such that a-NeuNAc-(2 3)-p-D-Gal-(l- 3)-a-D-GalNAc as a protected threonine glycoside was made enzymically from the corresponding a-D-GalNAc glycoside in 50% yield.

Peter H. Given There are two general matters related to the theme of this session on which I should he interested to hear discussion. 

As a general matter, the 102 sections listed in this chapter may be applied to show that a later filed patent application lacks novelty, is obvious, or both. A rejection of patentability under one or more of the 102 sections alleging that the claimed invention is not novel is usually referred to simply as a 102 rejection, referenced to whatever sections the prior art belongs to. For example, if a prior art nonpatent publication by another more than 1 year before the application in question was alleged to defeat the novelty of the applicant s claimed invention then a rejection under 102(b) could be brought this would be called 102(b) rejection for lack of novelty.42 For a rejection to be made solely upon a 102 reference, a single prior art reference must disclose every element of the patent application claim. If a combination of multiple prior art references is needed to disclose the entirety of the invention, this cannot be the basis for a novelty rejection. However, multiple references may be used to reject a patent application claim as being obvious —that is, the invention may be technically novel, but still not patentable. 

One could reasonably ask why a demonstration of results matters if the invention is obvious on its face. If it would have been obvious to make the invention that the applicant is attempting to claim, why does it matter if that invention turns out to have some unexpected or superior results regarding its performance To better understand this, it is helpful to analyze this inquiry as directed to the patenting of molecules or chemical compositions. Whether it would have been obvious to claim a particular compound or genus of compounds is typically made by an examination of other molecules or genera of molecules that have been taught in the art. As a general matter, the closer the prior art structures are to the claimed structures, the more likely it is that... 

As a general matter, it is within the realm of one of ordinary skill in the art to combine compounds, compositions, materials, etc., where those compounds are known for the same purpose. The motivation and expectation are that the combination will be similarly useful in the additive sense. This is clearly laid out in In re Crockett, resulting from an appeal of claims rejected by the USPTO 121 The claims in question were directed to methods and materials related to the casting of steel. The composition claim 96 is reproduced below.

On the more general matters, it may not be generally appreciated that the sixth edition (1996) of the Heilbron Dictionary of Organic Compounds (and related supplements), published by Chapman and Hall, now includes entries for compounds with P-C bonds, and also some phosphites and phosphates, which initially appeared in the earlier Dictionary of Organophosphorus Compounds, and which have now been up-dated. Useful information on P(III) compounds and some phosphates can also be found in Chapman and Hall s Dictionary of Inorganic Compounds... 

On 23 January 2008, the EPA published a general approach to determining if a particular substance, including nano-substances, is present on the TSCA Inventory [1]. As a general matter, under the TSCA, the EPA regulates substances of a particular molecular identity, traditionally stating that particle size and shape are not factors in this definition. 

The timing, as well as extent, of defaults is critical to equity return. As a general matter, equity holders receive a significant part of their return early in the life of a transaction. This is because the initial excess spread tends to be highest given that defaults are unlikely to occur until later on in the deal s life. The later in a CDO s life that defaults occur, the less the return to the equity holder will be affected. Examples of equity returns patterns and their sensitivity to default will be demonstrated later in case studies. 

The clerk of works is the architect s on-site representative. He or she will make sure that the contractors carry out the work in accordance with the drawings and other contract documents. They can also agree general matters directly with the building contractor as the architect s representative. 

New Employees Accidents occur frequently to employees who are new on the job. Usually, accident rates decrease with job experience. It is essential to train new employees on safety in general and in safety of their job functions. New employees have much to learn, including workplace safety. A session will orient a worker to his new company or new job. Orientation sessions deal with general matters. Most new employees will remember how and when they get paid. They may not recall other details from an orientation session. For safety, it is important to know how important safety is for the employer in protecting its workers. New workers should learn about general procedures in case of an accident.
