Recently I was ambling around the internet, researching lecture and article topics. I stumbled onto a Wikipedia site that at first seemed quite banal: Timeline of Historic Inventions. This link offered a chronological listing of historic inventions from the Paleolithic period, through the time of Christ, the Dark Ages, Middle- Ages and on to modern times. Perusal of the listing of inventors and their inventions was interesting on several levels.First was the attribution that could be applied by geography for the specific inventions. Cement in Egypt, rice in India, the Trebuchet in China and hundreds more hugely important inventions could be assigned as having originated in specific ancient lands. Many of these geographic locales are recognizable today, while many others, though identified, have been lost with the passage time and the disappearance of their historical importance.Second, many of the inventors are identifiable by name, even many of the most ancient ones. Attribution for creation of the encyclopedia is given to Speusippus, the odometer to Archimedes, the kite to Lu Ban, linguistics to Panini, and plastic surgery to Shushruta.Third, and most interesting, is the sheer volume of inventions, most of great import

The invention of electronic prescribing systems has changed the way that medical professionals operate within the pharmaceutical world. Pharmacies and medical offices are being run more efficiently and productively than ever thanks to these new methods for passing out medication and patient information. These systems are a fabulous way to make life simpler for thousands of people who work within this profession.A great deal of employee time is wasted with staff professionals verifying or rectifying prescriptions due to typos or illegibility. Pharmacists will acquire typed legible prescriptions from these programs. No more fixing past mistakes and you can focus on more important factors.There are actually federal rebates for medical companies that change over to these digitized programs. The only thing greater than operating a business more productively is saving a fortune doing so.Healthcare providers who operate in large practices will love the fact that they do not have to write out prescriptions anymore. Just select the medicine required on a computer and your prescription will be ready in a matter of seconds. Once the file is sent to the check out counter it will be printed out and handed to the

The telephone is one of the most important inventions of the past two hundred years. The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell.Born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1847, Alexander Graham Bell immigrated to Canada with his father in 1870 before moving to the United States a year later and becoming a U.S. citizen in 1882. As a young man, Bell studied at the University of Edinburgh, graduated from the University of Toronto and went on to teach vocal physiology at the University of Boston. Bell also tutored private students, including Helen Keller. Both Bell's mother and wife were deaf, a fact that greatly influenced his life's work. It was his focus on speech, hearing and amplification that led Bell to his invention of the telephone.As a young child, Bell was a curious boy and an avid inventor. At the age of 12, he invented a paddle device that made the task of dehusking wheat simple and efficient. As he grew older, Alexander became fascinated with speech, elocution and hearing. His father, grandfather and uncle were all involved in the study of speech and elocution which, along with a fascination with

The case of Conor Medsystems Inc v Angiotech Pharmaceuticals Inc and Another [2007], concerned a patent for a medical device used in operations. The defendants owned a European patent for a device called a 'stent' used in coronary angioplasty. The 'stent' is inserted into a diseased artery during the procedure to keep the artery open. The claims in the patent concerned a 'stent' coated with a polymer loaded with the drug taxol. This drug inhibited the development of tissue which might result in the artery closing.The defendants licensed the patent of this device to BS, a manufacturer of 'stents'. The claimant, who is a competitor of BS, sought to have the patent revoked on the grounds that the invention was obvious in the light of prior art. The judge held that it was obvious to have tested taxol, and therefore the patent was invalid for obviousness. The defendant appealed.The defendant's appeal was dismissed.The question to be considered was whether the invention was obvious. In order to make this assessment, a number of factors had to be considered:? The attributes and common general knowledge of the skilled man;?

Patents are granted to encourage the inventors to disclose their inventions and also to grant them monopolistic right to exploit the invention. The objective of Patent Grant in India is to ensure that the inventions are worked in India on a commercial scale and to the fullest extent without any undue delay.Accordingly, any interested person after expiry of 3 years from grant of patent even though if he is a license under the patent, may make an application to the Controller for grant of compulsory license on the grounds that:(a) the reasonable requirements of the public with respect to the patented invention have not been satisfied; and(b) the patented invention is not available to the public at a reasonable price.(c) the invention is not worked commercially to fullest extent in territory of India.The circumstances constituting "failure to meet the reasonable requirements'' of public in respect of a patent are as follows:(i) Inadequate manufacture in India or failure to grant licenses on reasonable terms with in a period of 6 months form applying by the applicant resulting in:(a) Prejudice to an existing trade or industry or its development,(b)

The reason for the invention of The Aryan Invasion Theory In the schools all over India, in the sixth grade when Indus Valley Civilization is taught in the history class, we come across the elaborate story of how a nomadic tribe The Aryans came from the north and destroyed the advanced civilization that was the Indus Civilization. The way this particular story is represented in the curriculum of our schools helps us to understand and perceive India's historical evolution, the sources of her ancient glorious heritage, and indigenous socio-economic-political institutions, and this has been going on ever since the advent of the British colonies. When the ruins of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa were discovered it was found that the civilization was very advanced. The ruins show a very advanced waste management system an important parameter of a civilization having a sense of hygiene and possessing a scientific outlook. The ruins also show a very elaborate public distribution system, another parameter of a civilization being conscious of well being. In spite of these physical truths, we come across a well spun story of a nomadic

One of the most demanding and stressful positions in the modern world is that of a medical professional. Constant movement combined with long tiring work hours dictates that workers be as comfortable as they can possibly be in the clothing they wear. Most of medical facilities today make certain specific recommendations as to the uniforms that may be worn by their staff. More and more of the hospitals and doctor's offices are tending to require their employees to be outfitted with scrubs apparel. Most require each different department within the facility to wear a different color of scrub.The first scrubs apparel consisted of only light blue or green uniforms that consisted of a pair of drawstring pants and a v-neck top. The ones of today are available in a wide variety of colors, prints, and sizes to fit most everyone. These are generally made of a very light weight cotton for easy care as well as comfort of the medical professional. Nurses and doctors alike are wearing the scrubs apparel in various areas of the health care system.In order keep down the spread of infection, many medical
