**Treasury Debt Management**

## Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities

- _Treasury’s Perspective_
- Widen investor base
- Reduce/eliminate term premium
- _Investor’s Perspective_
- Improve portfolio diversification
- Protect against inflation better than real estate, commodities, or other real assets

## TIPS Structure

- The principal value is adjusted for inflation by multiplying the value at issuance by an index ratio that changes daily. The inflation accrual on principal is paid at maturity.
- The coupon payments are a fixed percentage, determined at auction, of the inflation-adjusted value of the principal.
- The principal repayment at maturity is protected against deflation, but the  semi-annual coupon payments are not protected against deflation.
- The inflation accrual is based on the CPI-U NSA with a 3-month lag         (e.g., index number for July 1st is based on the April CPI report which was released in mid-May).
- Daily indexed numbers are calculated using straight-line interpolation between first-of-month numbers.
- The index ratio for a particular valuation date is the index number for that date divided by the index number for the dated date.
- Index Ratio Value Date =   _Index number for value date_                                                 		            Index number for dated date

## Lessons learned

- Seed disinfection is a highly variable process, even in the laboratory
- Seed (irrigation water) sampling can be highly effective
- Test many (hundreds) of sub-samples prior to using the seed in production
- Test irrigation water  during production
- Disinfection and sampling are complementary tools

## The “Evidence” PRD

**Tony Liss**
***University of Illinois***

**The “Evidence” PRD**

_***Dilepton Data***_*:*

- “Dileptons”

- “Lepton+jets”

_***Lepton+jets Data***_***:***

- To separate the signal from the W+jets background, we used two techniques to identify at least one *b*-jet in each event (“b-tagging”).

- The identified secondary vertices are mostly heavy flavor decays!

- And in the W+jets data, there were some beautiful top candidates.  This is the best:

- Signs of top production in lepton+jets:

- Control region: #SVX+SLT b-tags≈background

- Signal region: #SVX+SLT b-tags>background

- Is it top, or just an upward fluctuation of the expected backgrounds?

- Including correlations in the backgrounds, the combined observation had a probability of 2.6x10-3 of being due to all background and no top.

- So it was “Evidence” and not “Observation” of top production.

- But the reconstructed mass *sure did look like top...*

- And it sure was...

## EOS- lifetime and losses vs chromaticity11/26/2002

- EOS- lifetime and losses vs chromaticity11/26/2002

## end-of-store study on 11/26: reduce CH,V by –10 units in steps of -1

- no effect on intensity or loss, some increase in H Schottky power;
- at –10 sudden instability and beam loss quenched the Tevatron

## some related informations:

-   quench appeared to have been caused by p-bars
-    (signature of pbar quench at F48, by Dean et al.)
-   on November 4 Xiaolong had scanned both Ch and Cv
-    (independently)  by –24 and –20 units without problems;
-    but a quench occurred at Cv = -21
-  in p-bar removal study on November 17, proton
-    chromaticities were measured as Ch=13, Cv=16
-    (i.e., lower in H)
-  according to Tanaji’s calculation the 0-amplitude
-   chromaticities of p-bars are lower by –10 and –1 units
-   compared with protons (at 3the differences are–6 and
- 

*if we trust these numbers the nominal pbar chromat. is Ch=+3*
*only, which was dropped to –7 in the course of the study*
*- no wonder the beam became unstable!*

## absolute changes were certainly larger on November 4, but ...

## perhaps we cannot deduce from the two successful pink curves

*that the brown one should be stable*

## circumstantial observation that the sextupole 

- feeddowns (S5F1A-S5D3A) were  ~50%
- different on the two occasions, namely
- Nov 4:            4.2 - 4.3
- Nov 17/26:     6.7

-  why were they different, and does this matter for
-  the p-bar stability?

## SBC

- Attempt to read:
- crate id, L3 transfer number,Wordcount,
- Data (single or burst)
- Reading all 0’s
- IF power pc stopped from booting:
- Able to read crate id, wc, L3x
- Problem: The whole physical memory of
- 	The power PC is mapped as a VME slave window in A 32 space  by default (compiled into vxworks kernel!)  conflict with our maps

- Georg Steinbrueck                         STT meeting

## SBC

- Recompile vxworks kernel with a smaller or no A32 mapped slave window
- Find function call that would allow us to change the window dynamically
- Map our memory in A24 space
- Solution 2 seems cleanest. Geoff Savage and Doug Chapin are working on it.

- Georg Steinbrueck                         STT meeting

## Endianness swap

- 	Works for crate id, WC, L3X
- 	More when we read the data...
- Doug tells me that the Universe II is, after all
- 	able to swap the endianness.
- Might be better than SBC doing it for compatibility with the rest of D0.

- x = 8.89cm .
- Focusing electric field is 0V/cm at focusing center.
- Focusing center  should be constant from cathode to anode

## Focusing E-field profile for Tunnel Geometry

- Focusing center is constant from cathode to anode

## Poisson Field Profile for Load lock Geometry

- Added HV tube to the right

## Focusing E-field profile for Load Lock Geometry

- Focusing center changes from cathode to anode

## Conclusion

-    Model shows focusing field is perturbed by introducing the side HV tube
-     Experimental test required to see how much of an effect this perturbation has on beam dynamics

- Christopher Low / James Housel
- TC1600 /AU 1653 (703) 308-2923
- christopher.low@uspto.gov

## Official Gazette, 1192 O.G. 68 (Nov 19, 1996)

- “Nucleotide sequences encoding different proteins are structurally distinct chemical compounds and are unrelated to one another.  These sequences are thus deemed to normally constitute independent and distinct inventions within the meaning of  35 U.S.C. 121”.
- “Absent evidence to the contrary, each such nucleotide is presumed to represent an independent and distinct invention, subject to a restriction requirement pursuant to  35 U.S.C. 121 and  37 CFR 1.141”.
- “In some exceptional cases, the complex nature of the claimed material may necessitate that the reasonable number of sequences to be selected be less than 10”.
- “In other cases,  applicants may petition pursuant to  37 CFR 1.181 for examination of additional nucleotide sequences by providing evidence that the different nucleotide sequences do not cover independent and distinct inventions”.

- Official Gazette, 1192 O.G. 68 (Nov 19, 1996)
- Limited to expressed sequence tags (ESTs).
- Polypeptides specifically not recited.  One polypeptide per application.
- Burden placed at up to ten (10) sequences.

- Current Practice
- All polynucleotides (DNA, RNA, and oligonucleotides).
- No change to practice of one polypeptide per application.
- Burden significantly increased.  Number of sequences decreased, often to one (1) sequence and indistinct fragments thereof.

## Linking Claims

- Restriction requirement is subject** **to nonallowance of the linking claim(s).
- Allowable linking claim(s) requires withdrawal of restriction  as to any claim(s) depending from or otherwise including all the limitations of the allowable linking claim(s).
- Linking claims assessed on basis of 35 U.S.C. 101, 112, 102, and 103.

## Linking Claims (MPEP §809.03) 

-    Common types of linking claims which, if allowed, act to prevent restriction between inventions that can otherwise be shown to be divisible:
- Genus claims linking species claims
- Claims to the necessary process of making a product linking proper process and product claims
- Claims to “means” for practicing a process linking proper apparatus and process claims
- Claims to a product, linking claims to a process of making, and claims to a method of use of the product

## Linking Claims

- Common biotech example:
- 	Claim 1.  An isolated polynucleotide having antisense activity against SEQ ID NO:1.
- 	Claim 2.  The isolated polynucleotide of claim 1 selected from the group consisting of any one of SEQ ID NO: 2-125.

## Linking Claims

- Claim 1 is a linking claim because it links each of inventions of SEQ ID NOs:2-125 together.
- Election of one of SEQ ID NOs:2-125 is required.
- Claim 1 examined with the elected invention.
- If claim 1 is allowable, all of inventions of SEQ ID NOs:2-125 become subject to examination.
- If claim 1 is not allowable, then only the elected invention is examined.
