Appl. No.:

10/092281

Inventors:

Durham Russell Maples - Camden SC, US

International Classification:

B03D003/00

US Classification:

209 4, 162 5, 162 9

Abstract:

Method of separation that uses at least one organic chemical reaction to alter the molecular structure of a substance or substances () so that a mechanical method of separation can be used to cause the separation of one or more substances from one or a group of substances (). The organic chemical reaction alters the molecular structure by adding at least one atom to the molecular structure or by subtracting at least one atom from the molecular structure. The mechanical method of separation uses the differing physical characteristics of substances to physically change the place or position of substances to remove or isolate the substances from a combination or a mixture absent any chemical reaction. The organic chemical reaction and the mechanical method of separation are used in combination to cause the separation of substances that otherwise could not be separated by the mechanical method of separation alone.

Appl. No.:

12/005595

Inventors:

Durham Russell Maples - Camden SC, US

International Classification:

G06Q 40/00

US Classification:

705 36 R, 705 37, 705 35

Abstract:

A business entity or investment entity increases the sale value of its own equity by forming a new hybrid investment unit that includes the combination of a debt instrument and the equity share. The debt instrument pays interest that is tax deductible to the business entity or investment entity and is not subject to the double taxation of dividends. The price of an ordinary equity share traded on an exchange is artificially reduced by the amount the cash dividend paid. The hybrid investment unit prevents the exchange from artificially reducing the equity in the unit because the debt in the unit pays interest and principal instead of dividends.
