20090043052 | LIVING SYNTHESIS OF CONDUCTING POLYMERS INCLUDING REGIOREGULAR POLYMERS, POLYTHIOPHENES, AND BLOCK COPOLYMERS - Regioregular poly(3-alkylthiophenes) and other polythiophenes can be prepared by living polymerization which have good solubility, processability and environmental stability. The polymerization method can afford regioregular poly(3-alkylthiophenes) in high yields. Kinetic study of polymerization revealed the living character of this process. The molecular weight of poly(3-alkylthiophenes) is a function of the molar ratio of the monomer to nickel initiator, and conducting polymers with relatively narrow molecular weight distribution (PDI<1.5) are now readily available. Sequential monomer addition resulted in new block copolymers containing different poly(3-alkylthiophene) segments, which further confirms the “livingness” of this system. Other synthetic methods can be used as well to conduct living polymerization. Blends and electronic devices can be prepared. | 02-12-2009 |

20090089218 | Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit and Administration Thereof - A method for administering a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit including initiating the waiting period, calculating the account value to determine the benefit base, periodically determining the account value, comparing the account value to the benefit base, initiating the withdrawal period by fixing the benefit base and withdrawal percentage, calculating the distribution factor and calculating the guaranteed withdrawal. The method allows for premiums to be made during the waiting period. There is a distribution factor assigned to each premium based upon the date of the premium and the annuitant's age at the date the distribution factor is calculated. An existing average distribution factor is calculated periodically and compared to the attained age factor to determine a new average distribution factor. The resulting guaranteed withdrawal amount is the product of the benefit base and the new current average distribution factor. | 04-02-2009 |
20110251859 | Method and Apparatus Pertaining to Facilitating Administration of a Fixed Annuity Having a Long-Term Care Rider - Administering a fixed annuity having a long-term care (LTC) rider includes calculating, at a time of an insured party entering a claim period for LTC benefits and as a function of a value of a fixed annuity for an annuitant, an available insurance amount for an LTC benefit. This fixed-annuity value can comprise a present value of the fixed annuity at the time the insured party enters the claim period. These teachings will also accommodate calculating the total LTC benefits by summing the value of the fixed annuity with the value of the fixed annuity as multiplied by a multiplier. LTC benefits can be paid by apportioning a first part of the payment against the fixed annuity itself while apportioning a second part of the payment against an available insurance amount. Following depletion of the annuity, however, one can then apportion such payments only against the available insurance amount until exhausted. | 10-13-2011 |
