20130185226 | METHOD OF, AND SYSTEM FOR, ASSET INDEX GENERATION WITH SELF FINANCING PORTFOLIO ADJUSTMENT - Asset indexes are intended to track changes in the market value of assets. However, some assets such as real estate can change in value for reasons other than that a general change in the market has occurred. For example, a house can have an addition which adds another bedroom or a portion of land can be sub-divided, in which case an increase or decrease respectively in the asset value can occur which is independent of movements in the overall market. A method of generating an asset index under these circumstances is disclosed by effectively removing from the asset portfolio those assets which have had a change in attribute come to notice on the day the asset index is calculated. Such an asset is restored to the portfolio on subsequent days. | 07-18-2013 |

20120129710 | METHODS FOR PRODUCING MEMBERS OF SPECIFIC BINDING PAIRS - A member of a specific binding pair (sbp) is identified by expressing DNA encoding a genetically diverse population of such sbp members in recombinant host cells in which the sbp members are displayed in functional form at the surface of a secreted recombinant genetic display package (rgdp) containing DNA encoding the sbp member or a polypeptide component thereof, by virtue of the sbp member or a polypeptide component thereof being expressed as a fusion with a capsid component of the rgdp. The displayed sbps may be selected by affinity with a complementary sbp member, and the DNA recovered from selected rgdps for expression of the selected sbp members. Antibody sbp members may be thus obtained, with the different chains thereof expressed, one fused to the capsid component and the other in free form for association with the fusion partner polypeptide. A phagemid may be used as an expression vector, with said capsid fusion helping to package the phagemid DNA. Using this method libraries of DNA encoding respective chains of such multimeric sbp members may be combined, thereby obtaining a much greater genetic diversity in the sbp members than could easily be obtained by conventional methods. | 05-24-2012 |
