The choice of patent databases highly depends on the motive beneath it, or in other words, the type of patent search involved. For instance, for a prior art search that is for current litigation, you would want to choose a patent database that covers the patent documents of most of the patent offices. Exhaustiveness is going to be the key for you here. Similarly, for the freedom to operate search – which depends on particular geography – you might want to use a patent database that provides the patents of that specific country in the best searchable manner. For example, few patent databases have indexed German…

Technological innovation is advancing at an ever-increasing pace. Over the past decade, global research and development (R&D) spending, a pivotal driver of technological innovation, has grown from 2.00% of GDP to 2.63%. After over a century of combined effort, 100 million patents were filed as of 2017, serving as the legal proof of technological innovation. This number is expected to double within the next ten years. While the realm of innovation encompasses a wide array of individuals, organizations, and institutions, it is undeniable that a significant portion of groundbreaking innovations can be attributed to a select group of tech companies.

Energy storage is the process of capturing and storing energy for later use. Energy can be stored in various forms, including electrical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical energy. It’s the process of capturing and storing energy for later use. Energy can be stored in various forms, including electrical, mechanical, thermal, and chemical energy. Energy storage technologies are critical for integrating renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power into the grid, as these sources can be intermittent and not always available when needed. By storing excess energy during times of high production and releasing it during times of low production,…
Data science is an interdisciplinary field that combines statistics, computer science, and domain expertise to extract insights and knowledge from structured and unstructured data. The goal is to generate insights and knowledge that can help organizations make data-driven decisions and solve complex problems. Data science involves a wide range of techniques and technologies, including data collection and storage, data cleansing and preparation, statistical analysis, machine learning, data visualization, and data interpretation. These techniques are used to identify patterns and relationships within data, develop predictive models, and generate actionable insights. It is used in many different fields, including business, healthcare, education, social science, and many…
The brain is often said to use up a fifth of the entire energy of the body, the most of any organ. The brain is far more energy efficient than large language models. There is a recent daily comment in The New Yorker, The Obscene Energy Demands of A.I. stating that, “It’s been estimated that ChatGPT is responding to something like two hundred million requests per day, and, in so doing, is consuming more than half a million kilowatt-hours of electricity. (For comparison’s sake, the average U.S. household consumes twenty-nine kilowatt-hours a day.)” How is the brain able to process so much, yet…
An artificial intelligence model can predict the outcome of corner kicks in football matches and help coaches design tactics that increase or decrease the probability of a player taking a shot at goal. Petar Veličković at Google DeepMind and his colleagues developed the tool, called TacticAI, as part of a three-year research collaboration with Liverpool Football Club. Corner kicks are awarded when the ball goes out of play over the goal line, and can be a good scoring opportunity for the attacking team. Because of this, football coaches develop detailed plans for various scenarios, which players learn ahead of games. TacticAI…
Abstract Enhancing the activity of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is crucial for fuel cell development, and hydrophobic species are known to increase the ORR activity. This paper reports that caffeine enhanced the specific ORR activity of Pt(111) 11-fold compared to that without caffeine in a 0.1 M HClO4 aqueous solution. Moreover, caffeine increased the ORR activity of Pt(110) 2.5-fold; however, the activity of Pt(100) was unaffected. The infrared (IR) band of PtOH (blocking species of the ORR) decreased for all the surfaces. Caffeine was adsorbed with its molecular plane perpendicular to the Pt(111) and Pt(110) surfaces and tilted relative to the…
When large AI models swept the world, Huang Renxun and NVIDIA, who controlled the computing power, unsurprisingly became the biggest winners. On March 18, the three-day NVIDIA 2024 GTC conference was officially held at the San Jose Convention Center. NVIDIA founder Huang Jenxun wore his iconic leather jacket and delivered a keynote speech “Witness the Transformative Moment of AI.” GTC (GPU Technology Conference) is a global technology event hosted by NVIDIA, focusing on GPU technology and its application and development in many fields such as high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, deep learning, and financial technology. The content of the conference is…
Generative artificial intelligence (generative AI, GenAI, or GAI) is artificial intelligence capable of generating text, images or other data using generative models, often in response to prompts. Generative AI models learn the patterns and structure of their input training data and then generate new data that has similar characteristics. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) refers to a subset of AI technologies and algorithms capable of generating new content or data that resembles the original training data. This can include text, images, music, speech, and other forms of media or outputs. What sets generative AI apart is its ability to learn from a vast dataset and then use that learned information to create entirely new, original…
6G, the sixth generation of wireless communication technology, is expected to be the next revolutionary leap in the realm of telecommunications. Building upon the advancements of its predecessors, 6G aims to transcend the limitations of 5G and unlock new frontiers of connectivity, data speeds, and user experiences. 6G is the next generation of telecommunication which will be the successor to 5G. Although 5G deployment around the world is still in its initial phase, research on 6G has started taking place. 6G is being developed using a host of technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Extended Reality (XR), Automation, Robotics and many others. However, to…
