  • Publication number: 20080083861
    Abstract: A hanger with an integral U shaped clamping device for attachment to a metal support of a screened enclosure. The clamping device includes one resilient lined sidewall of which is movable by means of a hand-operated screw in order to clamp the hanger to the support. The resilient interior walls of the clamp provide a solid yet non-damaging surface area to hold the hanger securely to a vertical support structure of a screen enclosure.

  • Publication number: 20070162380
    Abstract: Apparatus (method implemented with a machine, the machine, and the method for making the machine, and products produced thereby) for controlling a system of managing cash flows for a transaction, the apparatus including: data processing means arranged for receiving information into memory, said information including respective descriptions of risks, statistical assumptions for said risks, and financial assumptions for said risks, the data processing means further including: calculating means, responsive to said descriptions and said assumptions, for calculating expected cash flows corresponding to said risks for time periods; accounting means for determining, responsive to actual cash flow information from occurrence of events corresponding to said risks, for a first party to the transaction owing the expected cash flows to a second party to the transaction, and for determining, for the second party owing the actual cash flows to the first party, a net settlement, for each of said time periods, between the pa

  • Publication number: 20070118447
    Abstract: Machine and related manufacturer controlling multi-jurisdictional investment; a computer system arranged to receive information and locate said information into a memory, the information including investment specifications and pricing data for the financial product, the computer system further including: an input device for receiving the information and converting the information into signals; a program control to compute, from said signals, for calculating respective valuations of parts of investment in respective jurisdictions and a program control to trigger printing documentation, including said valuations, to carry out the implementation of the parts in the respective jurisdictions. In variations thereof, such as optimizing, separating, valuation, and execution are supported.

  • Publication number: 20070112604
    Abstract: Apparatus (method implemented with a machine, the machine, and the method for making the machine, and products produced thereby). The computer system can, for example, be structured (e.g., including programmed) to carry out the steps of: calculating an insurance reserve requirement from data; segmenting, for the reserve requirement, an insured contingency risk from a corresponding capital requirement to produce components; and carrying out the reinsurance transaction by steps including: allocating the components to different parties, one of the parties from a group including an insurance risk carrier and a source of an asset for said capital requirement; and assigning assets for the reserve requirement to a reinsurance asset trust to receive reinsurance credit for said reserve requirement.

  • Publication number: 20060138355
    Abstract: Methods (300, 400) are described for calibrating the implantation angle of an ion implanter utilized in the manufacture of semiconductor products. One method (300) includes implanting (330) phosphorous ions into a pilot wafer held by a wafer platen held at a starting implantation angle in the ion implanter. The phosphorous implantation into a p-doped substrate of the pilot or blank wafer, for example, forms a semiconductive sheet. The method (300) then includes changing the implantation angle (340), and implanting another wafer (330) with phosphorous ions. The angle changing (340) and implanting (330) of other wafers continues in this manner until all wafers or angles are implanted (350) as desired. The phosphorous implanted wafers are then measured (360) with a four-point probe, for example, to obtain the sheet resistance of all the implanted wafers.

  • Publication number: 20050086156
    Abstract: A method implemented with a machine, the machine, and the method for using the machine, and products produced thereby, the method including using a digital electronic computer having a processor programmed for electronically processing input data into output data, the computer electronically connected to an input device and to output devices, for calculating expected and projected results of assumptions related to specific contractual exposures (either underlying plans of insurance or reinsurance, or contractual insurable risk exposure to individuals, or corporate contractual benefit payment exposures to individuals), maintaining and storing such calculations, periodically comparing the expected and projected results to actual occurrences results as inputted into the computer, calculating the differences between actual and projected results and preparing reports of the results of the calculations.
