Abstract: A computer-implemented method of establishing a financial instrument that pays to an investor a cash flow according to a payment schedule, the financial instrument providing to an investor at least a partial hedge against longevity risk exposure in a specific pension scheme. The method includes calculating, using data processing apparatus, the expected liabilities of a pension scheme to at least a portion of its members taking into account an expected mortality of the scheme members and establishing the expected liabilities as the initial payment schedule of thefinancial instrument. The method also includes establishing a cash flow cap as an upper limit for the payment schedule and a cash flow floor as a lower limit for the payment schedule. The cap and floor are set by: applying, in the calculation of the expected liabilities of the pension scheme, pre-determined maxima and minima adjustments to the expected mortality of the pension scheme members or pre-determined maxima and minima life expectancies of the pension scheme members; or applying pre-determined maxima and minima adjustment factors to the established initial payment schedule. The method further includes calculating, at payment intervals during the lifetime of the financial instrument using data processing apparatus, an adjusted cash flow representing the actual liabilities of the pension scheme to its members for that interval by taking into account the actual mortality experience of the scheme members and re-setting the payment amount in the payment schedule for that interval to be equal to the adjusted cash flow, the payment schedule amount being limited to a maximum set by the payment cap and to a minimum set by the payment floor for that interval.

Abstract: A method and system for characterizing tissue includes a probe connected to a red LASER source and a Raman spectroscope. The probe includes at least excitation fiber and one or more emission fibers that connect the probe with the LASER  source and the Raman spectroscope. The excitation fiber is connected to the red LASER source and terminates in the first end of the probe adjacent the tip of the probe. The emission fibers are connected to the Raman spectroscope and terminate in the first end of the probe adjacent the tip of the probe. In one embodiment, the excitation fiber extends through the central portion of the probe and one or more emission fibers are arranged around the excitation fiber. The tip of the probe is intended to come in contact with the tissue to be examined. The tip includes a central opening to allow red LASER radiation to project out of the end of the red excitation fiber on to the tissue and to permit Raman spectra to enter the emission fiber(s) and travel to the Raman spectroscope. The tip is constructed to have a predefined focal length to position the first end of the probe a predefined distance from the surface of the tissue being examined. The tip can be removable and tips having different focal lengths can be used to accommodate different types of tissues and examinations. A detector can convert the Raman spectra into signals and data for analysis by a computer system. The Raman spectra for tissue in a predefined location can be profiled such that the system can distinguish between healthy and diseased tissue.
