I know I've seen Schraeders threaded all the way down, with a ring just like a Presta to hold them in place on the rim. Not sure what tube brands use them, but they're great for many of the same reasons that we like Prestas; no chasing the stem to get the air chuck on it when the tube is completely flat, and less prone to ripping the tube like that.
