October 31, 2017

Natural Touch Drawing of Chemical Structures

OCEANSIDE, CA - Oct 31, 2017 - US Patent No. 9,754,085 has been granted to Integrated Chemistry Design, Inc. (ICD) headquartered in Oceanside, CA.

The patent covers the technology used in Chirys Draw™ and Asteris™ products designed to replace cumbersome and outdated template tables with a natural circle gesture to rapidly draw chemical rings including complex fused structures. Chirys Draw and Asteris are available worldwide for Apple iPad®.

“We mapped how chemists draw with pen and paper to touch-screen gestures that enable the chemist to focus on capturing their ideas instead of operating the software,” said ICD co-founder and president, Dr. M. Catherine Johnson. “ICD’s comprehensive set of patented touch gestures empowers chemists to draw complex chemical structures and reactions quickly and easily. The newly issued patent represents a foundational piece to the ICD patent portfolio.”

Chirys™, the ICD brand name for its chemistry software, is derived from the Greek word kheir meaning “hand,” referring to the direct, hands on creation of chemical structures using touch devices and to the chiral, left or right “handed” nature of many important chemical compounds.
