Publication number: 20120239548Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for executing a hedge transaction in connection with the execution of a derivative product order in which the price of the derivative product is defined by one or more variables. The hedge transaction may be executed at an exchange or match engine that is different from the exchange or match engine executing the derivative product order. The execution of derivative product transaction may be contingent on the existence of an appropriate hedge transaction. Alternatively, a best efforts approach may be used to fill the hedge transaction order after executing the derivative product transaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2012Publication date: September 20, 2012Applicant: CHICAGO MERCANTILE EXCHANGE INC.Inventors: Scott Johnston, John Falck, Charlie Troxel, JR., James W. Farrell, Agnes Shanti Thiruthuvadoss, Arjuna Ariathurai, David Salvadori

Patent number: 8160949Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing derivative product orders at an exchange. Traders provide derivative product order risk data to the exchange. The order risk data may include maximum delta, gamma and/or vega utilization values for derivative product contracts based on the same underlying product. Before executing a trade, a match system analyzes the trader's current utilization state and the utilization that would result after the trade. The match system may then execute all or a portion of the trade.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2010Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Inc.Inventors: Scott Johnston, John Falck, Charlie Troxel, Jr., James W.

Publication number: 20080241862Abstract: While the identification of acetylated lysine residues on proteins is well-known, the modification of lysine residues through propionylation and butyrylation is not very well understood. A method for the identification and mapping of propionylated and butyrylated lysine residues has been developed. Anti-acetyllysine antibody, normally used to affinity purify a protein mixture based on the presence of acetylated lysine, can also be used to affinity purity proteins having propionylated and butyrylated lysine residues due to the structural similarity. The method involves searching protein databases to locate mass spectrometry datasets for those proteins purified by anti-acetyllysine antibody. The located spectra are manually reviewed to identify those peptides having propionyllysine and butyryllysine residues. These identified peptides are synthesized, with the lysine modifications added at the appropriate positions.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2008Publication date: October 2, 2008Inventors: YINGMING ZHAO, John Falck, Yue Chen

Publication number: 20080095711Abstract: Compounds, compositions, and methods for inhibiting pulmonary hypertension are disclosed. The invention is particularly directed to the use of agents that specifically inhibit the activity of certain endogenously produced epoxyeicosatrienoic acids that promote vasoconstriction of pulmonary arteries. These agents are particularly useful for inhibiting hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension. The invention further discloses additional compounds, compositions and methods for increasing pulmonary hypertension.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2007Publication date: April 24, 2008Inventors: John Falck, Alan Stephenson
