Hypothetical Example

Since we now know the invention dates for the three claims, let s extend the preceding hypothetical. In particular, we are going to use the various dates established for the inventions and the patent application filing to figure out how certain types of prior art might affect the ability of our chemist to patent his three inventions. To fully cover this topic, we will consider seven different scenarios  

On October 1,2005, a paper written in a Japanese chemical journal (written in the Japanese language) was published, describing the synthesis and structural identification of the exact compound A described in claim 1. The publication did not detail or suggest any potential biological activity. 

The same facts as part 1) except the journal article s publication date was September 24, 2005. 

Soon after conceiving the invention, our ever-optimistic Acme chemist sends an abstract to the American Chemical Society for an upcoming meeting. The abstract is accepted online immediately and posted on the Internet the same day. The abstract describes the proposed preparation of the compound together with a description of its possible utility as an antidepressant. The chemist lists his name and two of his lab associates who will help him in making and testing the compound. The date the abstract is posted on the Internet is June 1, 2005.

Hydrogen bonding plays a major role in pyrazolone tautomerism, and the formation of a chelate structure can shift the equilibrium towards the chelated form. Structures (135) and (136) are two representative examples of such stabilized tautomers. Structure (137) is a hypothetical example of stabilization of the NH tautomer. 

The following Is a hypothetical example of how one manufacturer might complete the toxic chemical release inventory reporting Form R. The facility information is purely fictitious and does not represent any known manufacturing facility. The example begins with descriptions of the facility (a lead-acid storage battery manufacturer) and of the production process at the faciiity. The completion of each section of Form R is explained and a copy of Form R, as it would be completed by this facility, follows. 

Consider now tlie following hypothetical example of a more complicated fault tree involving eight basic events leading to tlie rupture of a pressure release disk, tlie top event T. Tlie fault tree is shown in Fig. 20.7.2. Let tlie basic events be defined as follows ...

Since the units of D/2 are the same as velocity we can think of this ratio as the velocity of two imaginary pistons one moving up through the water pushing ahead of it a column of gas with the concentration of the gas in surface water (Ci) and one moving down into the sea carrying a column of gas with the concentration of the gas in the upper few molecular layers (Cg). Por a hypothetical example with a film thickness of 17/im and a diffusion coefficient of 1 x 10 cm /s the piston velocity is 5m/day. Thus in each day a column of seawater 5 m thick will exchange its gas with the atmosphere.

It is instructive to illustrate the relation between the partition function and the equilibrium constant with a simple, entirely hypothetical example. Consider the equilibrium between an ensemble of molecules A and B, each with energy levels as indicated in Fig. 3.5. The ground state of molecule A is the zero of energy, hence the partition function of A vnll be... 

In the author s experience, such confirmation is not appropriate when the calibration range is greater than one order of magniffide or calibration points are not chosen carefully. The reason is that lower concentration levels of a calibration graph influence the correlation coefficient to a much smaller extent than higher concentrations. The hypothetical example of calibration results presented in Table 3 demonstrates this very simply. If the amount injected is correlated with the observed peak area in the second column in Table 3, the calibration graph in Figure 2 is obtained. 

As an example (and this is a hypothetical example only), a particle is shown in Fig. 11 such as might appear on a microscope slide. This particle is gridded out in the form shown in the upper lefthand corner of Fig. 11. The number of squares in which parts of the trace of the particle is located is counted. This number is N, and the length of the grid size is g. The grid size is arbitrarily set equal to one in this example. The grid... 

The following sections of this chapter demonstrate the applicability of the above-mentioned adaptations to completely batch operations using an hypothetical example of completely batch processes drawn from experience at an agrochemical facility.

The same hypothetical example was used to illustrate the targeting procedure for a case where concentration is treated as a primary constraints. The problem specification still remains the same as that used Section 12.2.2 (Table 12.2). 

Targeting in time interval (4-5.5 h) is represented by Fig. 12.23a. Only the C reaction and the B wash are active in this time interval. The B reaction was completed in the previous time interval and its used water dispensed with as effluent due to its level of contamination. This water left this process at a concentration of 0.26 kg salt/kg water, as shown in Fig. 12.23a. As it can be inferred from Table 12.2, this concentration is above the maximum inlet concentration stipulated in any of the processes in this hypothetical example, implying that this water could never be reused, unless if it was diluted to a lower concentration. 

Fig. 6.2 Hypothetical example of bimodal distribution according to a marker that indicates non-responder" or responder status. Note that in both cases a distribution is present, with overlaps, thus, the categorization into responders or non-responders based on the marker must be understood to convey only the probability to belong to one or the other group.

The manner in which toxicological knowledge must work together with the knowledge of human behavior, fire dynamics, and chemistry to produce an acceptable level of fire safety is proposed. A hypothetical example illustrates what must be done with adequate accuracy in order to design fire safety to a performance code. The example may give the impression that this can already be done. In fact, each computer code used contains dozens of assumptions, some very crude, so that the accuracy of present predictions are unacceptably low. 

ASTM (E 2012-00) has developed a "Standard Guide for the Preparation of a Binary Chemical Compatibility Chart." The hypothetical example given in ASTM E 2012-00 is reproduced in Figure 4.4 specific mixing scenarios associated with this example are not described. 

A hypothetical example of such a chart is shown below. All intended chemicals and common contaminants (such as utility streams that might leak in) are listed on both the horizontal and vertical axes. Each box in the chart represents the interaction of the two gridded components. Each half of the chart represents all possible binary (two-component) mixtures. Therefore, only one half of the matrix needs to be filled out to assess possible two-component combinations. This kind of simple analysis does not consider order of mixing (X mixing into Y is treated the same as Y mixing into X), which may be an important consideration such as when handling strong acids. 

Many chemical species have a tendency to either give up or take on electrons. This tendency is based on the premise that a greater stability, or lower energy state, is achieved as a result of this electron donation or acceptance. A hypothetical example is the reaction between a sodium atom and a chlorine atom ... 

The data obtained are usually displayed in a plot of signal intensity vs. 2-theta. A hypothetical example is given in Figure 10.6. Intensity peaks appear at certain 2-theta values, indicating constructive interference at that particular value. The pattern is specific to a particular interplanar spacing. Hence, crystal structures and film thicknesses can be determined from the pattern.
