Year of 2008 has been an exciting year for innovation in technology, not a week has gone by without a major breakthrough or scientific discovery. But what do some of these new discoveries, innovations or inventions mean for our future? How will life change for the human race or our civilizations and societies due to these breakthroughs?
Holographic Cell Phone projection is here, and in four to five years we will see the first units available and within 8-years we will see these available for the general public. And the first 3D living room technologies are now available too.
With all the new robotic unmanned vehicle research we will soon have self Driving cars, trucks, planes and trains. Indeed, they are almost ready to roll out now, only one hang up, acceptance. Will the general public accept them? Perhaps, but it might be another 5-years.
Nano-technology in new materials could usher in the age of hydrogen fueled vehicles. Nano-tech in medicine will be available for dental uses, knee surgeries, organ strengthening and cancer fighting. Nano-machines for nearly ever medical purpose will be in the works as well.
Medical Scrubs Are An Important Requirement For Hospital Cleanliness
Many professionals probably grow tired of wearing the same uniform day in and day out. In the medical field, medical scrubs are the clothing required by hospital administrators. Doctors, nurses and medical technicians are easily recognizable in their various colored scrub pants and tops. Over the years, manufacturers of scrubs have changed things up and different styles of scrubs can be purchased. Despite the modern variety of scrubs, when a person thinks medical scrubs they probably picture the typical green surgical scrub uniform. There is not much to the typical surgical scrub in the way of fashion, but this uniform serves the necessary purpose of helping to maintain clean environments in today’s hospitals.For most people, the mental picture of a scrub type uniform derives from what is seen on TV. Television shows like M.A.S.H., Grey’s Anatomy, and Scrubs all help to shape how members of the public view hospital life and procedure. Although we enjoy being entertained by actors and actresses dressed in what looks like Katherine Heigl scrubs, it is unlikely that real hospital life mirrors the television shows that we love to watch.Real hospital life is… More >>
Ideas For New Inventions
The Human brain is the powerhouse of ideas. A lot of ideas occur to many people during their course of life. These ideas have the potential of changing the way the world lives their lives. It also gives the inventor the chance to earn a fortune for his dreams.
People with problem solving abilities, creative thinking, innovative ideas are the main think tanks from which new ideas emerge. The main reason for these ideas to occur is the need for more improved and advanced method of operation. As people are not satisfied with existing products, they think in a positive and creative way to overcome these inadequacies and develop a more improved efficient product.
Most of the ideas people get are random and have no specific timing for it to arrive. They just come in a flash and go. Hence, it is essential to note down the date and time of these ideas in a particular diary or book for any future reference, for no one knows whether this could be the key to prosperity. For people who wish to… More >>

Patent Technology Landscapes are the high-level visualization of large set of patent dataset specific to a particular technology. It provides over view of the various technological segments within the dataset and is very useful for the decision makers. These map further breaks into more specific detailed technological segments to visualize the technology co-relation, technology diversification and various technology trends. Mining of the huge dataset for specific technological detail is a laborious process. Presently various vendors such as Aureka from MicroPat provides automated generation of patent landscape maps for large datasets. The basis for the generation of these maps is the keyword frequency. Thus these maps require human intelligence to further refine it.
A patent landscape contains various other 2-D and 3-D technology graph to represent the various emerging, high-growth, mid-growth and low-growth areas in a particular technology, or across technology. It is helpful in extrapolating the concentration and trends of invention with large technology segments. Further, it also includes graphical representation of the Patent technology S-curve to show the pace of invention and patenting activity, in various technology segments.
A patent landscape helps in:
