Brian A. Ballard has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Systems, methods and computer program products for determining parameters for chemical synthesis and for supplying the reagents, equipment and/or chemicals synthesized thereby
    Publication number: 20020169566
    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.
