Prophetic example

If time or resource constraints do not allow for actual making or testing of certain compounds, use prophetic examples. A prophetic or "paper" example "describes a possible route to making an inventive embodiment that has not actually been carried out [9]." If prophetic examples are employed, it is very important that the verb tense of the prophetic examples always be in the present tense (e.g., acid (1) is reacted with amine (2) forming an amide). In the patent world, the present tense distinguishes prophetic examples from actual examples actual examples are written in the past tense. 

It is prophetic that Firket (1), in speaking about public anxiety about potential catastrophes, said, "This apprehension was quite justified, when we think that proportionately, the public services of London, for example, might be faced with the responsibility of 3200 sudden deaths if such phenomenon occurred there" (p. 1192). In 1952, such a catastrophe occurred (see Section III,C).

Based on their corporate experience in supporting their own research and development projects as well as a number of government-sponsored activities, the development of scientific software at BBN grew out of a long history of support of a variety of scientific applications. For example, in the 1960 s, BBN developed a hospital information system for Massachusetts General Hospital which used an early minicomputer, the PDP-1, to support clinical research activities. Under the sponsorship of the National Institutes of Health, they developed a system called PROPHET (1) which provides a... 

Worked examples are, where possible, included. If worked examples are not available it may be desirable to give prophetic or dummy examples which, although they have not been worked, describe how to carry out a particular aspect of the invention. The patent apphcation must give a sufficient disclosure of how to carry out the invention without undue burden (the sufficiency or enablemenf requirement). In the USA it is essential to describe the best way of carrying out the invention known to the inventors when the application is filed (the best mode requirement). For inventions using certain biological material (such as host cells, vectors, hybridomas, bacteria and the like) it may be necessary to make a special deposit of the material in order to fulfil the sufficiency requirement. 

DMT in the pineal glands of Biblical prophets may have given God to humanity and let ordinary humans perceive parallel universes. If our human ancestors produced more endogenous DMT than we do today, then certain kinds of visions would have been more likely. Many of the ancient Bible stories describe prophets with DMT-like experiences. Consider as one example (Isaiah 6) ... 

Various religious prophets such as Saint Paul, Ezekiel, and Mohammed may have suffered from epileptic seizures. Recently, several nuns with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) have provided evidence that TLE is the root of many mystical religious experiences. For example, one former nun apprehended God in TLE seizures and described the experience ... 

Cannabis sill retained its importance as a key ingredient in magical potions well into the nineteenth century. An occult French publication, The Prophet s Almanac, in its 1849 edition, for example, shows a crowd of people standing in front of a wizard who is gazing through a telescope into the future. Two of the men in the throng cany banners one banner has "ether" printed on it, the other bears the word "hashish". 

Osama bin Laden and his associates have cited the requirement that nonislamic enemies of Islam must be invited to embrace Islam before they maybe legitimately attacked. Saudi cleric Sheikh Salman al-Oadah condemned bin Laden s and other al-Qaeda s methods as counter-productive and not in accordance with Islamic law. On the other hand, others have said that terrorist acts are inspired by the example of Prophet Mohanuned s struggle in the just war against the Quraysh, the pagan tribesmen of Mecca.
