Abstract The performance and reliability of structural components are greatly influenced by the presence of any abnormality in them. To this purpose, structural health monitoring (SHM) is recognized as a necessary tool to ensure the safety precautions and efficiency of both mechanical and civil infrastructures. Till now, most of the previous work has emphasized the functioning of several SHM techniques and systematic changes in SHM execution. However, there exist insufficient data in the literature regarding the patent-based technological developments in the SHM research domain which might be a useful source of detailed information for worldwide research institutes. To address this research… More >

Abstract Cross-domain technology application is the application of technology from one field to another to create a wide range of application opportunities. To successfully identify emerging technological application cross sections of patent documents is vital to the competitive advantage of companies, and even nations. An automatic process is needed to save precious resources of human experts and exploit huge numbers of patent documents. Chinese patent documents are the source data of our experiment. In this study, an identification algorithm was developed on the basis of a cross-collection mixture model to identify cross section and emerging technology from patents written in Chinese.… More >

Abstract It is important for a company to put themselves under the protection of patent right to keep their unique competitive advantages when they confront global competition. This issue is of particular importance in Taiwan since a growing number of Taiwanese companies have been sued by foreign competitors for patent infringement. For inverter industry, producing labor-saving, energy-saving, space-saving, high-communicational, high-functional, low-noise and cost-saving inverters become a more and more important topic.
This research investigates the state of the art of current inverter technology. By using United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) database, we collect global patent data for inverter technology… More >
