A Computerized Business Method Is Patentable Subject Matter, N.Y.L.J., August...Lawrence Kass
The document summarizes the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Hatch-Waxman Act), which aims to balance increasing generic drug availability with preserving incentives for developing new drugs. It established an Abbreviated New Drug Application process for generics and provides patent term extensions and exclusivity periods. However, the Act is currently receiving heightened scrutiny over concerns that some brand-name drug companies are improperly listing patents to delay generics and retain market exclusivity beyond the original patent term. Recent court cases have addressed issues like whether patents covering drug metabolites or off-label uses can be used to block generic competition under the Act.

This document summarizes research on modeling the effects of adding a rectangular slot to a microstrip patch antenna. The researchers developed an analytical model to predict how the resonant frequency changes based on the slot's length, width, and position. They conducted simulations varying the slot parameters and found that the resonant frequency generally follows a harmonic behavior similar to an antenna without a slot. Experimental antenna prototypes were fabricated and tested, finding good agreement with simulation results. Mathematical functions are presented that can describe how the slot affects specific antenna characteristics.

The document provides information about tubular testing services offered by a company located at 3045 Choctaw Dr., P.O. Box 53248, Baton Rouge, LA 70892. The company performs eddy current, remote field, IRIS, and magnetic flux leakage testing of tubular structures using RD Tech MS5800 instruments. They have a large stock of probes and standards for various tube sizes and materials. The company uses video probes to provide visual representations of any findings to customers.
The document discusses magnetic flux leakage inspection of wire ropes. It describes two methods - loss of metallic cross-sectional area (LMA) inspection and localized flaw (LF) inspection. LMA inspection quantitatively measures loss of area from corrosion or wear. LF inspection qualitatively detects discontinuities like broken wires. Modern dual-function instruments allow both inspections simultaneously. The document outlines various techniques for conducting LMA and LF inspections, including their underlying principles, signal generation processes, and factors like resolution.
This document discusses wire rope damage and nondestructive inspection methods for cranes. It describes two main types of wire rope deterioration: fatigue caused by bending over sheaves and drums, and crushing caused when spooled on multi-layer drums. Visual inspections and electromagnetic inspections are the primary nondestructive inspection methods used to detect broken wires and metallic loss. Electromagnetic inspections provide more detailed insight and are better able to detect internal breaks not visible externally. Periodic inspections are important to monitor deterioration over the rope's lifespan and determine when retirement is necessary for safety.
This document discusses electromagnetic (EM) inspection methods for evaluating the integrity of offshore wire ropes. EM inspections can detect internal defects that are not visible, providing a safer alternative to visual inspection alone. Two EM methods are described: loss of metallic cross-sectional area inspection quantifies corrosion and wear, while localized-flaw inspection detects discontinuities like broken wires. Combined EM and visual inspections along with understanding rope deterioration allows for rational retirement decisions beyond wasteful statutory life policies.

Notes to Editors
Qatar Foundation – Unlocking Human Potential
The Qatar Foundation for Education, Science, and Community Development is a private, non-profit
organization that is supporting Qatar on its journey from carbon economy to knowledge economy by
unlocking human potential for the benefit of not only Qatar, but the world. Founded in 1995 by His
Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Amir of Qatar, QF is chaired by Her Highness Sheikha
Moza bint Nasser.
QF carries out its mission through three strategic pillars: education, science and research, and community
development. QF’s education pillar brings world-class universities to Qatar to help create an education
sector in which young people can develop the attitudes and skills required for a knowledge economy.
Meanwhile, its science and research pillar builds Qatar's innovation and technology capacity by
developing and commercializing solutions through key sciences. Finally, its community development
pillar helps foster a progressive society while also enhancing cultural life, protecting Qatar’s heritage and
addressing immediate social needs in the community.
