While language is specific to humans, because this race is the only one capable of speaking due to its physical construction, communication is common to all other animals, regardless of species (Yule, 1996). Communication does not require words, but body language, signs, behaviors, etc., which transmit information, often unintentionally. On the other hand, language consists of sounds and syllables that shape an intentional information sharing process (Yule, 1996). Language is characterized by: displacement (the capacity of speaking about past, present and future), arbitrariness (the form of human language), productivity (the creativity to utter endless utterances), cultural transmission (passing ...

One of the heartbreaking truths about World War 1 was that millions of innocent men needlessly died because civilian and military leaders were slow in changing their war strategies and effectively employing new technologies. Thus, the war typified a fight between an inefficient nineteenth century warfare which witnessed lot of casualties on both sides, and a twentieth century technology-driven battle in which many decisive technologies were tested. As for America, the trend of industrialism and mass production of machineries and war equipments had begun fifty years prior to the onset of the war during the American Civil War. With ...

In the movie “Flesh of Genius”, directed by Marc Abraham and based on the true story, Bob Kearns during his lecture at the university writes one simple word on the blackboard. This word is ‘ethics’. From Kearns’ point of view, ethics is more important thing than engineering. Actually, what is ethics? Velasquez, Andre, Shanks, and Meyer (2015) suggest that ethics contains rules that tell people what they ought to do. “Ethical standards include standards relating to rights” (Velasquez et al., 2015). Gil Previck is Kearns’ partner who initially helps him to realize the idea of producing windshield wipers. He ...

Introduction

Patents are useful for protecting the rights of inventors and innovators who create new technology. The patents provide protection for the idea and in return, the new invention is available to the public for relevant use. The validity of a patent is twenty years. The downside is that no one else can come up with the same idea for those twenty years. Other inventors can use the invention in their products without modifying the base product with a license provided by the patent holder. For example, if an inventor creates a car that runs on water, it will prevent ...

Introduction Some scholars view energy as an abstract concept that could not be defined by any physical parameters (Lehrman 15). There are those who even admit that they do not know the scientific meaning of energy because it cannot be seen or touched or smelled except that it can only be imagined through its effects. For the same reason, some scholars refrain to define energy to avoid being misconstrued. Engineers, however, need an operational definition for energy in order to apply its concept in many engineering applications such as in mechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetism. Engineers, especially during ...

Intellectual property: A Summary

Unlike tangible property, intellectual property is more complicated in terms of ownership and possession. With regard to such complexity, the legal frameworks in place have come up with various provisions aimed at protecting the ownership and exclusive rights of such property. For purposes of such protection, intellectual property is divided into: copyrights, patents, trademarks, and registered designs. Contrary to common misconception, a single product can be protected under all these types. For instance, an iPhone, a product of Apple Inc, can have the company control its distribution and enhancement by use of patents, copyrights, registered designs and trademarks. Typically, patents are ...

If someone has made an invention to make life easier or to alleviate one’s living condition then the security of the patent for that invention is needed. According to the World Intellectual Property Organization, a patent is an exclusive right of a person for producing something that offers a new solution to a problem. Furthermore, a patent provides the maker with protection for their invention, and this protection usually lasts for 20 years. One privilege of a person who has a patented invention is that the invention cannot be sold, distributed, used or commercially made without the inventor’s consent. This right is usually enforced ...

The glider designs of George Cayley and Otto Lilienthal were a far cry from the technological sophistication of space flight, and 19th-century designs established basic principles still present in the design of the space shuttle. Mechanization, which started with the Wright brothers, powered flight, giving substance to the age-old human dream of manned flight. War and the onset of commercial flight produced massive improvements in aeronautical design and logistical advances. In the modern era, the very concept of flight has taken mankind into space and inspired plans for manned space travel.

Origins of the Internet

The appearance of the internet was due to a fact of the absolute necessity of this technology while the plenty of inventions were discovered because of the same reason. Regarding the significance of the internet, it went down in the history not only as a new achievement of science, but also as the key of strong influence in the international arena. According to Abbate (1999), the stimulus to invent the particular technology was the launching of the first automated satellite from the side of the USSR (p. 8). Surely, this action cannot help provoking the USA to make the equal response not ...

Best phrase that anticipates a new discovery is not "Eureka!" but "Wow, cool!"

Throughout the history of science, many discoveries have been made by accident. Sometimes the researcher saw the potential in a completely irrelevant things, or even in the remnants of a failed experiment, making a mistake a manifestation of intuition. Other discoveries took place after a period of despair that engulfed the scientist following a failed experiment. As a result of an error or "unfortunate" coincidence of circumstances, there appeared not a single discovery, but a large set of findings, ideas and discoveries in various fields of science Penicillin. The penicillin was discovered in 1928. The author of the accidental invention was Alexander Fleming, who, at the time, ...

Why is it done this way? Who started it and why?

An extremely new product making its impact on the health and wellness marketplace is the Airing. It is a small, hoseless, cordless, CPAP machine, which looks and (purportedly) feels completely different than its predecessors. CPAP stands for Constant Positive Airway Pressure and is a therapy device used to treat those with sleep apnea. The new device, called Airing, was developed by inventor Steven Marsh, from a project that was focused on very different technology. He refers to its development as an “incredibly happy accident (Medcalf 1).” He was working on a technology focused research assignment on mico-fluid pumps in micro electro mechanical ...

The term “Patents” came into existence as a legal mechanism created for the protection of the ‘intellectual capital’. It aims to protect inventor’s ideas from getting into the hands of others without appropriate permission or compensation (Bell 2013). This idea of patenting came up as a result of the early recognition that many inventors do not have the means to produce, develop, or even implement their invention at the time it was conceived. There is, therefore, a need for some protection that would encourage the inventors to aggressively pursue their ideas without someone else stealing it and thereby sharing the glory. ...

What is the BIG idea?

Michael Collins founded Big Idea Group with the purpose of turning ideas into reality. This is because the company would provide resources, experience, and access significant in the development of the idea. He established the firm to enhance an intermediary between inventors and buyers of ideas. These interactions enabled him to network with them and earned money from the activity. Collins believed that the process of taking ideas as a resource and transforming them into worthwhile products was beneficial in the child’s industry and other sectors. He had several questions concerning the success of his company. He wondered whether ...

The industrial revolution is a revolutionary change in the means of production and its organization, which led to the transition from pre-industrial to an industrial society. The classical and the earliest example of the industrial revolution is considered England of late 18th - early 19th centuries. The term "industrial revolution” emphasizes fast and explosive nature of the changes that occurred at the turn of 18-19 centuries, first in England and then in other countries of Europe. For the first time this concept was used in 1830 by a French economist Adolphe Blanqui. Since 1840, it has become widely used by ...

Law

Introduction Criticism of present-day medical ethics is seen as fallout of the relationship between stakeholders in theory and practice. While efforts continue to re-establish the relationship, the conflicting interest of the two stakeholders continues to create a perception of increased risk of bias or poor judgment. Again, when it comes to researchers in the healthcare sector, they should have a professional and ethical interest in what they do, but sometimes, these interests are compromised by the lure of financial gains. It is such a case that PharmaCARE has been guilty of. The aim of the law and the common good ...

Nikola Tesla was physicist, inventor and electrical engineer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was the inventor of the alternating current-rays and lights as well as the laser during his career of life. During this period, the Edison’s lamps were inefficient and weak when they were using direct current. The system of direct current had several limitations such as the system could be neither transported for long disturbances nor stepped up to high voltage for long distance transmission. In addition to that, the uses of direct current system need many sub-power stations which were costly. ...

Patent is a form of Intellectual Property Right (IPR). The IPR refers to any work or product of human creativity. It can include inventions; works related to literature and arts; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce. Intellectual Property Rights like patents are given to promote creativity and help the creators earn recognition or financial benefit out of what they have created. This system of recognition and reward helps in encouraging further innovations. A patent grants exclusive rights for an invention. That means, the inventor, who is the patent owner, can decide whether or not to allow ...

A patent may be defined as an exclusive right granted for a novel invention or a product that provides an entirely new way of doing things. This kind of arrangement creates a monopoly in the sense that when an inventor holds a patent, every other person is excluded from selling, using, making, offering for sale or otherwise benefitting from the invention during the term of the patent. To mitigate the impact of such monopoly, rival pharmaceutical companies make generic versions of drugs, which obviously come at a more affordable price. This is illegal in most countries, but prevails in nations like India which opted ...

Patents are a way to grant monopoly to inventor in exchange for disclosure of inventors. Having publicly revealed an innovation, the producer gets the exclusive rights and hence more room for its successful monetization. The alternative for the inventor is to keep the invention as a secret, which is more attractive from the point of view of potential profits, but the inventor is exposed to the risks of information leaks. Patents provide the incentive to innovate, with monopoly being the reward. Without patents, innovators would be challenged by the companies, which try to replicate the product not having spent on ...

The masters of slaves did not allow dancing if the step was done by crossing one leg in front of the other. Things like singing and using ...

The DCMA is a law enacted to protect the intellectual rights of individuals. It provides the basis with which inventors can ensure that other individuals do not use their inventions to fulfill their own commercial purposes. This in itself is theft, equal to taking someone else’s pay. However, it has come to the limelight that the law may also do wrong to the market. The law gives the inventors a twenty-year period with which it allows the inventor to do whatever he/she wants. This in itself creates a monopoly window for the inventor. History has taught the business world that monopolies ...

Who invented the Telephone

Mr. Beauchamp’s article recounts how United States patent law ensured Alexander Graham Bell came to be recognized as the sole inventor of the telephone and how the company/corporation he founded took a singular court argument and built it into a monopolistic enterprise, the premiere corporation in the world by mid-20th century. In particular, he claims that the development of U.S. patent law in the 19th century ensured this success while at the same time abetting litigation by numerous parties who wanted to secure the benefits of being recognized as the inventor of the telephone, or to undermine Bell’s claim ...
