Intervening right

Finally (and perhaps most important), under the doctrine of intervening rights (35 U.S.C. 252) relief is provided for defendants who did not infringe an original patent but do infringe the patent as reissued. Paragraph 2 of 35 U.S.C. 252 provides the following ... 

The citizen suit provisions have also been revised to allow citizens to seek penalties against violators, with the penalties going to a U.S. Treasury fund for use by EPA for compliance and enforcement activities. The U.S. government s right to intervene is clarified and citizen plaintiffs will be required to provide the U.S. government with copies of pleadings and draft settlements. 

The often posed question as to whether phosphorus compounds were active in the initial phases of the development of life, or intervened only at a later stage in the evolutionary process, remains unanswered. However, de Duve (1991) was completely right when he stated that life is basically organized around phosphorus . 

Similarly, if promotional material appears on the outer edges of the left and right hand pages of a double page spread, and the promotional material is separated by intervening editorial matter, then again each page would need to be treated as a separate advertisement. 

When the simple one-pulse experiment is again considered, there is only one time factor (or variable) that affects the spectrum, namely the acquisition time, f2. We now consider a multiple-pulse sequence in which the equilibration period is followed by two pulses with an intervening time interval, the final pulse being the irll acquisition pulse. Thus, we have inserted an evolution period between the pulses. If we now vary this evolution time interval (f3) over many different experiments and collect the resulting FIDs into one overall experiment, we have the basis of a 2-D experiment. Sequential Fourier transformation of these FIDs yields a set of spectra whose peak intensities vary sinusoidally. This first series of Fourier transformations result in the second frequency axis, v2, derived from the acquisition time, r2, of each FID. The data are now turned by 90°, and a second Fourier transformation is carried out at right angles to the first series of transformations. This second series of Fourier transformations result in the first frequency axis, iq, a function of the evolution time, f1 which you recall was changed (i.e., incremented) in the pulse sequence for each successive FID. 

Not only Los Alamos, the Manhattan Project, Durrenmatt s play The Physicists have changed the (self-) conception of serious science or represent symbols for this change of mind-set. Science is responsible for what it realizes, discovers, and invents. It is responsible for the effects it has, for how it is used, and for what consequences it has for humankind. Science must leave the ivory tower of unprejudiced but responsibility free (if not irresponsible) knowledge. Earth has reached a point where science must assume responsibility for its further existence, where it must intervene. It is not just a question of not being allowed to do all we are able to do (contrary to the viewpoint of the American Christian Right, which claims that God has created the world in such a wonderful way that humankind will not be able to destroy it is disproved daily), but it is also a question of science, primarily natural science, making greater efforts than ever to explain what has been researched. Science must intervene - but those who want to intervene successfully must want to be understood. 

Here, the shaded portion on the left side of the figure corresponds to the initial aqueous phase (Aq. I), the unshaded portion, the intervening dichloromethane membrane , and the shaded portion on the right the receiving aqueous phase (Aq. II)...
