ICIC is the International Conference on Trends for Scientific Information Professionals.
29th ICIC International Conference for the Information Community
For those in the sci-tech world, sharing best practices, networking and evaluating trends have become matters of considerable importance, and the annual ICIC Meeting & Exhibition is the significant forum for this, attracting over 100 attendees from the main sci-tech companies and information, service or software providers. It will be a venue where attendees will learn about new ways to work with disseminate scientific and patent information.
Started in 1989 ...
These exciting and highly respected annual conferences, that started in Montreux in 1989 and were subsequently held in Annecy, Nîmes, Barcelona, Nice, Vienna and Berlin have always provided a barometer as to the strengths and frailties of the world of sci-tech and patent information.
The conference lasts for two days and features approximately 24 formal presentations, panels on topical matters, all interspersed with short new product information presentations. All sessions are plenary. The conference normally begins with a reception and Welcome Dinner on the first evening to enable attendees to begin to network with each other. Lunches are taken at the conference venue, and breaks are designed to facilitate networking and interaction. A focused exhibition of approximately 20 stands is integrated within the conference. Attendance at these meetings is highly international, with no one nationality predominating.

28th ICIC International Conference for the Information Community
For those in the sci-tech world, sharing best practices, networking and evaluating trends have become matters of considerable importance, and the annual ICIC Meeting & Exhibition is the significant forum for this, attracting over 130 attendees from the main sci-tech companies and information, service or software providers. It will be a venue where attendees will learn about new ways to work with disseminate scientific and patent information.

Subject Areas for the 2016 Programme
The traditional focus of the ICIC programmes is subjects of interest to information professionals in a scientific or technical environment. As in previous years, this year's programme contains a number of presentations examining aspects of patent information retrieval, including drug discovery; patent information presents many challenges and is thus an excellent test-bed when it comes to information technology. The ICIC meeting's roots in chemical information also ensure that that area features prominently; chemical information was one of the first fields to attract modern information technologies back at the end of the twentieth century and the very beginning of the twentyfirst.

Atomic Theory Scientists and Their ContributionsScientist .docxjaggernaoma
Atomic Theory Scientists and Their Contributions
Scientist (date)
Contribution(s)
Empedocles
(492 BCE and 432 BCE)
All matter is composed of four elements: fire, air, water, and earth. The ratio of these four elements determines the properties of the matter
Democritus
(460 BCE - 370 BCE)
Matter can be cut into its constituent parts, these parts still possess all the properties of the original matter. He named this “atomos”.

Atomic models are useful because they allow us to picture what is in.docxjaggernaoma
Atomic models are useful because they allow us to picture what is inside of an atom, something we will never be able to actually see. We're going to talk about two models, the Bohr model and the Quantum model. While we know that the Quantum model is the correct way to represent atoms, the Bohr model is still useful for a very basic understanding. Think of it as a stick figure sketch of an atom. The parts are all there, its just not quite filled in all of the way.
Bohr Model
The Bohr model of the atom was developed in 1914 by Niels Bohr. In this model, electrons move around the nucleus in fixed, concentric circles. Picture the planets orbiting the Sun. These circles are called energy levels and electrons must have a specific amount of energy to be in each level. The energy levels closest to the nucleus require the least amount of energy. In order for an electron to move further from the nucleus (or move up an energy level) they must gain energy. If they lose energy they fall down to an energy level closer to the nucleus.
Drawing the Bohr model for an atom gives you valuable information about the atom's valence electrons. The
valence electrons
--
those in the outermost energy leve
l--are the ones that determine the chemical properties of an atom. In order to draw a Bohr model you must first use the periodic table to tell you the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom. For Bohr models we usually draw what the "average" atom for that element looks like and just round the average atomic mass to a whole number and use that for the mass number.
Steps for Drawing a Bohr Model:
1. Count the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons for that atom.
2. Draw the nucleus. Indicate the correct number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
3. Draw energy levels around the nucleus, starting with the energy level closest to the nucleus. Fill up each energy level before moving on to the next.
Each energy level in a Bohr model can only hold a specific number of electrons, as shown in the table below.
Energy Level
Max # of electrons
1
2
2
8
3
18
4
32
For example, here is a Bohr model for the average oxygen atom:
Here is one for phosphorus:
You try drawing one for Magnesium (Mg) and for Boron (B). Count the number of electrons on the outermost energy level to find the number of valence electrons. Check your answers by looking at the handout.
Quantum Model
In 1925 the Quantum model of the atom was developed after it was determined that electrons can behave like a wave and a particle at the same time. In addition, you can't know the precise location of an electron. Instead of traveling in orderly circles around the nucleus, we describe the electrons as existing in a three-dimensional
electron cloud
--a shape surrounding the nucleus. You will learn more about the Quantum model in chemistry.
These are some of the orbital shapes possible in the first two energy levels of an atom.

Handpresso had gone from strength to strength since its creation
in November 2006. Its
pioneering handheld espresso machine had been successfully
brought to market, with steady
sales year on year. The auto espresso machine that had later
been developed had generated
much interest, leading to a partnership with a major Italian
coffee roaster. This in turn had
resulted in agreements with two large auto manufacturers. By
the end of 2013 the small
French company had even begun negotiations with an electrical
goods manufacturer with
regards to a potential partnership. As a small player in a huge
global market this was probably
the best way to grow. However, Handpresso was equally aware
that taking this route might
have a direct impact on its own branded offerings.
Nielsen Innovation
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
Leonardo da Vinci
3. This was the ethos which the founder of Handpresso, Henrik
Nielsen, espoused throughout
his life designing innovative products.
Henrik Nielsen
Henrik Nielsen moved to France from his native Denmark in
1990, with his wife Catherine
and one-year-old daughter, to take up a position as Project
Manager at Moulinex Krups
European Research Centre, later moving to the role of Manager
of Future Products. Henrik
was more than qualified for this position. He held a PhD in
Systematic New Product Search
from the Technical University of Denmark, a DEA in
‘Conception de Produits Nouveaux’
from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Arts et Métiers in Paris,
a DESS in Business
Administration (French MBA) from the University of Caen,
France, and a BSc in Mechanical
Engineering from DIA in Denmark.
During his time at Moulinex Krups, Henrik gained valuable
experience working on diverse
innovative product design projects, including automatic coffee
machines, robotic vacuum
cleaners and air purifiers. He moved to Fontainebleau (south of
Paris) in 1997 to take up the
position of R&D and Product Coordination Manager for
Cycleurope, Europe’s leading
bicycle company, with brands including Gitane, Bianchi and
Peugeot. By 2000, however,
Henrik was growing weary of the politics involved in large
organisations’ R&D departments
and decided to start his own consulting firm: Nielsen
Innovation.
5. licensed and Reelight was brought
to market by its inventor.
Handpresso
In 2005, Henrik announced to the Nielsen Innovation team that
the next self-financing
product design project he wished to work on was the design of a
hand-held espresso machine.
It would be a “single serve” device targeted at a new market
space: people “on the go” –
campers, small households, travellers and such like.
Since Henrik’s time at Moulinex/Krups, he had been convinced
that there had to be a simpler
and easier way of engineering espresso machines (Exhibits 2
and 3), which were complex due
to the water heating and pressure required. Henrik was
convinced there was a market for a
new product.
Trainees within Nielsen Innovation initially worked on the
handheld espresso machine project
to keep costs low. They were managed by designer Patrick
Chateau and engineer David
Petitdemange. There was no formal market or consumer
research carried out. Henrik
preferred to invest in design and tooling.
After studying the coffee-making process and existing
appliances, the team concluded that
there were two main requirements for good espresso (apart from
the quality of the coffee
itself): the correct amount of pressure and the right water
temperature (90-92°C). It was
decided early on that the machine would not include an internal
7. with the air compressor, thus creating the first functional
prototype. The name ‘Handpresso’
was chosen for the novel hand-held coffee-making device.
Henrik explained:
“It was at this point that Patrick suggested using a hand pump.
However, our
prototype was still based on an electrical component using
rechargeable batteries
or similar systems. The solution was so simple and the
legislation regulations that
related to electrical appliances were not applicable.”
What they developed was a machine that used a hand pump
mechanism that enabled the
crucial 16 bars to be achieved. The first functional prototype
included an infusion chamber
and a coffee pod space. While building the infusion chamber
component, they realized that
the water output (volume) needed to be exactly 45ml (the
volume of an espresso), taking into
consideration the water absorbed by the pod in the process – in
this case 10ml. The result was
a chamber volume of 55ml.
Possible Partners
“It was at this point that we approached two of the leaders in
the espresso market
at the time – Nespresso and Sara Lee (Senseo). We took our
first large prototype
and some high-quality renderings of what the branded product
could ultimately
look like with a view to obtaining a licensing agreement (Figure
1). We already
had filed utility patents on the concept and secured non-
9. decided that
Nielsen Innovation would take the product directly to market.”
After rejections from the two coffee makers, the team also
decided to use the “open system”
Easy Serving Espresso (ESE) pod for Handpresso, rather than
either the Nespresso or Senseo
closed system pods.2
Building the Machine
Once the Handpresso team had built a prototype that produced
high quality coffee, they
showed it to the top management of leading coffee maker Illy.
Illy subsequently gave the go-
ahead for the use of their ESE pods without any requirement to
change the design.
“We were interested in getting their feedback on our product.
By this stage any
thoughts of licensing had been given up. As Illy had developed
the ESE format we
thought it would be a good idea to consult them. In fact they
helped us optimize
the infusion process and also saw the opportunity to use their
ESE pods. Illy had
never imagined such a small machine and were keen to help us.
It was an
informal partnership as they wanted as many devices as possible
using their pods,
and we benefited from their expertise with the smaller details.”
Further work on the Handpresso machine ensued with regard to
the weight, colour,
developing a valve mechanism and a barometer to indicate when
the crucial 16 bars had been
11. launched the tooling process.
By this time, Patrick, the designer, and David, the engineer,
were working almost full time on
Handpresso. Henrik took on the role of CEO initially but hoped
it would be a temporary
situation. His experiences with both Wi-Flow and Reelight had
provided substantial learning
for setting up the Handpresso company:
“For Wi-Flow it was more appropriate to license the technology
rather than
developing a completely new vacuum cleaner in a market that
was already
saturated with machines. We weren’t creating a new market but
a new technology
that would improve an existing product. With Handpresso it was
the opposite
case. Handpresso was addressing a new marketplace – a single-
serve device
targeted at people on the go – therefore developing the product
ourselves was a
better option.”
In April 2007, Henrik convinced a sales and marketing
management expert, François-Paul
Boutard, of the merits and value of Handpresso. He persuaded
him not only to take on the
position of CEO but also to become a key investor in the
company. For Henrik, having a
partner committed to funding part of the venture was preferable
to venture capitalists or angel
investors, as he explained:
“It’s optimal to get a partner that will ‘invest’ and help run the
business, bringing
complementary skills to those of the existing team. Bringing in

Chicago. By 2009, Handpresso was distributed in 25 countries,
with 100,000 machines sold
worldwide within two years.
Catherine, Henrik’s wife, was responsible for marketing and
communications. Trendsetting
blogs were springing up in the virtual world, including
influential independent “coffee-lover”
sites that journalists in the industry took notice of. She sent
Handpresso Wild machines to
these blogs and the response was overwhelming; they loved the
product and posted great
reviews. These were picked up by the wider media, leading to
increased visibility for
Handpresso and further sales (Exhibit 4).
Over time, the company won eight prestigious awards for its
innovative product. Handpresso
was positioned as a premium product with high margins for
distributors:
“We give higher margins to our distributors so that they will
invest in
communications within their own country. The distribution is
more expensive for
us in comparison to a company such as Moulinex – we need to
distribute through
an intermediary.”
The Next Chapter
14. Unfortunately, the original investor and CEO of Handpresso left
in May 2010, leaving Henrik
no choice but to take on the day-to-day operations.
“My goal was to repeat the Reelight ‘biz’ experience and back
out slowly from the
day-to-day running of the company. This model appealed to me
but the challenge
was to find the right people to take over, as well as securing the
financing to take
it forward.”
In April 2011, after a few months at the helm, Henrik was
fortunate to find the right person to
replace him as CEO: Jérôme Schlegel, a manager with vast
experience in international
distribution and marketing high-end fashion products. With
Jérôme on board, Henrik could
return to do what he enjoyed most: “Giving birth to new
innovations and businesses”.
In addition to running Handpresso, Henrik continued to
innovate,
looking for the “next big thing”. In fact, he was working on two
new
machines that would herald the next chapter in the Handpresso
story.
The first was a ‘Wild Hybrid’ version that could use both ESE
and
ground espresso coffee – the ultimate in versatility.3 The
Handpresso
Auto ESE was the second: an espresso machine for the car. It
used the
same technology as the handheld product but was designed to
heat the
water by plugging it into a 12v cigarette lighter. The user
16. The early Handpresso machines had been targeted at outdoor
activities, but Henrik’s focus
had always been on the espresso itself. From the start he had
wanted the product to be
presented in a way that would signify high-quality design and
innovative engineering. This
was reflected in the chic black box the products were presented
in. But as Jérôme pointed out,
however beautiful the packaging was, it didn’t reflect their
customers’ lifestyles:
“Our customers are people who enjoy the outdoors: trekkers,
adventurers,
campers, sailors, climbers and the like. These are not really the
people that you
would associate with black ‘serious’ design. Having said that,
they certainly do
appreciate good design. And for that reason I wasn’t suggesting
a change in the
colour of the machine but to rethink the packaging, together
with the brand’s
corporate identity.
As we were about to launch the new products, Henrik and I
decided that it was the
ideal moment to introduce the new corporate identity that I had
been working on
for the packaging and the website. The slick black boxes were
replaced with white
and yellow ones. Cartoon drawings adorned the containers that
represented the
outdoors and what we considered reflected our customers’
lifestyles better.”
Sadly, Henrik did not see the launch of the Handpresso Auto
17. ESE and the Wild Hybrid
machine. He died suddenly in December 2011, leaving his wife
Catherine with the painful
decision of whether to continue with the launch. Thanks to great
support from the Nielsen
Innovation and Handpresso teams and their wholehearted desire
to carry on Henrik’s
innovative work, the launch was delayed for just one month to
February 2012.
Growth through Alliances
The auto machine had been tested thoroughly prior to launch by
sending it to 30 Handpresso
users who gave the team feedback. Improvements were then
made accordingly. Catherine
explained:
“When we were satisfied with the new auto machine, we
published a press release
on the website. A month later there was still little reaction.
Then there was a US
blog that talked about us that was posted in France…by March
we had gone from
300 to 12,000 visits. At this stage we only had 200 machines in
stock so we didn’t
really want to communicate further internationally as we
wouldn’t be able to fill
the orders.”
However, the team knew that they had to build the business
rapidly as they were in the
consumer goods market and therefore up against some giant
players. Their strategy was to
grow through partnering with large companies, believing that
this would bring credibility to
19. were not convinced that it could
produce consistently high-quality coffee. However, with the
electric-powered automatic
machine for the car there was no longer any reason to doubt the
quality of the coffee. Indeed
they were more than interested in bringing the auto machine to
market.
Meanwhile Jérôme and Henrik had also contacted
Lavazza, who had also kept in touch with
Handpresso since the early days and were equally
eager to be involved in launching the machine.
Lavazza moved quickly, negotiating a deal on their
capsules in return for an initial three-year
partnership with Handpresso. Lavazza wanted the
designers to develop a machine based on Lavazza’s
‘A Modo Mio’ capsule system (Figure 3).
Handpresso’s machine until this point had only used
pods (open).
It was of utmost importance to sign a first partnership with such
a reputable player on the
coffee market. Furthermore, the Handpresso team had
demonstrated that it was able to
develop solutions for any portioned coffee format and reach the
quality requirements of the
major groups.
Handpresso signed a contract with the coffee roaster in May
2012. It was an exclusive deal to
supply Lavazza pod machines for three years on a guaranteed
amount of business. Thanks to
this collaboration, the R&D team was encouraged to push the
technology a step further to
meet the company’s requirements.

Italy.” (Exhibit 9)
However, the Handpresso team was obliged to keep the news
under wraps until the Paris
Automobile Show later that year in October. It proved to be a
great a success as they had their
own stand, thus allowing other automobile companies to
approach them. Catherine explained:
“It was the first time we were allowed to disclose the fact that
we had a
connection with Fiat through our exclusive partnership with
Lavazza. Fiat insists
that it manages all communications for the coffee machine. As a
result I cannot
publicize the partnership through Handpresso channels but rely
on Fiat – a small
price to pay for this partnership. The Fiat coffee machine was
featured in Fiat’s
TV advertisement in Italy for the car.
This was a turning point for the company as we were first
endorsed by Lavazza,
then Fiat. We are now viewed as a reliable and credible
company. Everything else
was easier once we had these first partnerships as people are
now sure of the
quality, plus there has been wide press coverage. All this spills
over into our other
businesses, in particular the hand-held machines.”
The Motor Show in October 2012 led to contacts with other car
manufacturers, among them
the auto giant Volkswagen, which selected Handpresso as an
official supplier of coffee

In addition to the partnership strategy, we are continuing to
build our own
distribution stream through small outlets, as we had done for the
first manual
machine. The DNA of the brand is how it is conceived: fun,
outdoors.
There has been much buzz around the machine for the car,
which has had a
knock-on effect for the manual machine sales. It creates a pull
effect on the
manual one which remains the core product. We always have
these with us when
we are at fairs promoting the electrical machines. As a result,
sales for the
manual machines are also increasing.
We want to focus on the whole concept of our innovative
technology – this is what
is patented for 15 years. We are still working on the
development of the core
manual machine. The technology is the innovation that is in the
two products.”
By the end of 2012 the Wild Hybrid manual machine accounted
for 40% of the total business,

History of the Espresso Machine
First patent (vol. 33 n. 256, 1884) for the Espresso Machine, by
Mr Angelo Moriondo
The first machine for making espresso coffee was built and
patented by Mr Angelo Moriondo of
Turin, Italy, who demonstrated a working example at the Turin
General Exposition of 1884. Seventeen
years later, in 1901, the machine was improved by the Milanese
Luigi Bezzera, who patented his
improvements. Luigi Bezzera was not an engineer, but just a
mechanic. He did not invent the espresso
coffee machine, but he did come up with a number of
improvements to the already existing machine.
He patented a number of these, the first of which was applied
for on the 19th of December 1901. In
1905 the patent was bought by Desiderio Pavoni who founded
the “La Pavoni” company and began to
produce the machine industrially (one a day) in a small
workshop in Via Parini in Milan.
Drive mechanism
Since their invention in 1901, multiple machine designs have
been created to produce espresso.
Several machines share some common elements. Varying the
fineness of the grind, the amount of
pressure used to tamp the grinds, or the pressure itself can be
31. This document is authorized for use only by Pang Sun in
Competing in Technology Industries taught by H. Dennis Park,
Drexel University from January 2017 to June 2017.
There are two types of lever machines; manual piston and spring
piston design. With the manual
piston, the operator directly pushes the water through the
grounds. In the spring piston design, the
operator works to tension a spring, which then delivers the
pressure for the espresso (usually 8 to 10
bar).
Pump-driven
A refinement of the piston machine is the pump-driven machine,
which was introduced in the Faema
E61 in 1961, and has become the most popular design in
commercial espresso bars. Instead of using
manual force, a motor-driven pump provides the force necessary
for espresso brewing. Commercial or
some high-end home machines are often attached directly to the
plumbing of the site; lower-end home
machines have built-in water reservoirs.
Four variants exist in home machines, depending on how brew
water and steam are boiled; in
discussion these are generally known by acronyms.
Single Boiler (SB)
These machines can brew only, and not steam, requiring only a
single boiler. They are
relatively uncommon, with steam wands being a simple and
32. valued addition.
Single Boiler, Dual Use (SB/DU)
Some home pump espresso machines use a single chamber both
to heat water to brewing
temperature and to boil water for steaming milk. Since the
temperature for brewing is less than
the temperature for creating steam the machine requires time to
make the transition from one
mode to the other.
Heat Exchanger (HX)
Some machines use a single boiler kept at steaming temperature,
but water for brewing is
passed through a heat exchanger, taking some heat from the
steam without rising to the same
temperature. This is found in many mid-range machines. There
is some controversy as to the
temperature stability of the brewing water, since it is indirectly
converted from steaming
temperature to brewing temperature, rather than kept at a
brewing temperature.
Air-Pump-driven
In recent years air-pump driven espresso machines have
emerged. These machines use compressed air
to force the hot water through the coffee grounds. The hot water
is typically added from a kettle or a
thermos flask. The compressed air comes from either a hand-
pump, N20 or CO2 cartridges or an
electric compressor. One of the advantages of the air-pump
driven machines is that they are much
smaller and lighter than electric machines. They are often
handheld and portable.
