RSS Invention and Innovation – A New Era for Cardiothoracic Surgeons Home Special Reports Print this Article Send to a Friend EDITORS NOTE As a current assessment of our specialty of Cardiothoracic Surgery, this is one of the most important articles ever written. It provides a note of optimism for our future, based not on hopes or desires, but on factual data. It should be read and taken to heart by the entire CT community around the world. If we follow the precepts and suggestions the authors have provided, and if their statistical predictions on thoracic surgical manpower come to pass, then indeed all of us should sometime in the near future be complaining once again that we do not have enough time for leisure activities. Read, digest and enjoy! Thomas B. Ferguson, MD Senior Editor, CTSNet Introduction "Any surgeon who wishes to preserve the respect of his colleagues would never attempt to suture the heart."

MSM focus on Cheney and miss the possible real cover-up Invention, innovation, technology and Islam We are all accustomed to American (and Western) innovation in just about everything. From Benjamin Franklin and electricity to Al Gore and the Internet, from the I-beam to the iPod , Americans have been messing around and creating things throughout the history of the nation. We take it for granted that people are fiddling around in their garages inventing oscilloscopes or wonder drugs or extreme sports. But what would it be like to live in a land where people invented nothing, where technology came to you as though from Mars? More than this: what if that constant progress and tinkering represented a threat to the sufficiency of the founding documents of your culture and religion? Judging by the numbers, that is apparently the current state of thought in some major Islamic countries. Take Saudi Arabia, which recently went six years without granting a patent. The Saudi Patent Regulations of 1989 established a patent registration system, covering any new article, methods of manufacture (including improvements in either of them) and product patents. In 1996, the Saudi Patent Office granted its first patents since its establishment in 1990.

Contact Mar 7, 2007 Invention And Innovation by Abhijit Nadgouda entrepreneurship mindworks innovation ... Share Larry Dignan tries to explain difference between invention and innovation . Larry brings up lot of good points, but the difference is not explicitly mentioned, which leaves me in a half-hungry state. A while back I had sent an email amongst my friends to put down my thoughts about it, but never really got much feedback. Maybe blogging about it can help. I consider invention is about making something possible, and innovation is extending it to make it practical. Invention involves a lot trials and a lot of research on the subject. Innovation uses that research to make the invention useful for the common man. If you feel half-hungry yet, maybe this example can help. Wheel is an invention, a car tyre (or tire) is an innovation. An innovation will include the common man and hence the associated economics, which is why I think it is important for every individual to understand the difference. I also think that innovation breeds in an open environment . What do you think?

27. Invention And Innovation Detailed commentary and recommendations on differences between the Council of Ministers draft (November 2002) for the European Union s proposed Directive on http://www.ffii.org.uk/swpat/eudir/analysis/invention.html

Front Page Software Patents EU Directive Texts Articles Recitals Issues What Is 'Technical'? ... Known Methods Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure UK The words 'invention' and 'innovation' Something which the parliament amendments consistently try to do is to use the word 'invention' only for things which are patentable, and to instead use the word 'innovation' for things which are not patentable. Thus: "In order to be patentable, inventions ..." [amended recital 11] But: "An innovation that does not make a technical contribution to the state of the art is not an invention ... " [amended recital 12] This linguistic distinction, although subtle, helps make the directive a lot clearer. Relevant clauses: Recital 11, recital 12, recital 15 article 4a article 2b Recital 15 and Article 4a It would be helpful if Recital 15 and Article 4a could also be modified to reflect this distinction: in Recital 15, "...to ensure that those inventions which do not make a technical contribution are not so susceptible", replace 'inventions' with 'innovations'. in Article 4a, "A computer-implemented invention shall not be regarded as making a technical contribution merely...", replace 'invention' with 'innovation' (or 'process or product', or 'solution').

Innovation Quotes: Invention and Innovation Innovation is the initial commercialization of invention by producing and marketing a new good or service or by using a new method of production. Once the innovation has occurred, it diffuses: on the demand side through customers purchasing the good or service; on the supply side, through imitation by competitors. An innovation may be the result of a single invention (must product innovations in chemicals and pharmaceuticals involve the discovery of a new chemical compound) or it may combine many inventions (the first automobile embodied a multitude of inventions, from the wheel invented some 5000 years previously, to the internal combustion engine).

36. Invention And Innovation Though entities such as Columbia Innovation Enterprise bring about some organizational convergence, technology transfer remains a set of discrete processes. http://www.columbia.edu/cu/21stC/issue-3.1/nelson.html

Technology transfer, in theory and practice Richard Nelson T here is no such thing as "technology transfer"or at least no single thing. Rather, different disciplines have given birth to different models for university research structures to interact with industry. The lion's share of fundamental research in the United States is done in universities; some of it is done in governmental labs, and a small fraction is done in industry, generally in only a few companies. It benefits all parties for knowledge to pass from one sector to another, but a simple model of linear transfer from basic research to commercial applications is inadequate to account for the complex interplay of interests involved. One pattern, arising after the Morrill Land-Grant Acts in the mid-19th century, is direct federal and state support for portions of the university system specifically working on problems bearing on agriculture. At experimentation stations affiliated with land- grant universities, faculty members worked on diseases of wheat plants, appropriate ways to fertilize and feed crops, and similar questions; parts of the university were thus dedicated, by intent and by funding, to the farming community and related industries such as pesticides and food processing. A number of engineering schools, too, have offices directly concerned with solving problems for local industry. In a different model, individuals or groups at universities perform basic research to understand particular phenomena, then publish an article about that understanding; after reading this public information, companies are able to better design products. Since the 1930s, for example, a considerable amount of university research has allowed the aerodynamics industry to benefit from new knowledge about the shapes and behavior of propellers. The biomedical research community and the pharmaceutical industry have had the same type of relationship; until recently, universities had little to do with the direct creation of new pharmaceuticals, but quite a bit to do with the understanding of biochemistry and diseases.

All of the Sumerians The Sumerian writing system is probably the most significant of their inventions, paving the way for written communication, record keeping, and literature. Around 3200 B.C., they had developed the first known form of writing, called cuneiform . Using an implement known as a stylus, scribes would draw wedge-shaped characters on clay tablets, and then bake them to preserve the information. Cuneiform was a widely used form of communication for several millennia, despite having over 500 characters, and taking years to learn and master. The development of writing led the Sumerians to compose on of the oldest known literary works
