Private inventor

Q. Is there any chance of amending the bill to separate the corporate inventor from the private inventor ... 

Market failure arguments exist for government aid to some forms of research. Since the results of research are so broadly disseminated, it may be prohibitively expensive for private investors to charge the users of their discoveries. Thus the inventors are undercompensated, and underexpenditure arises unless the government provides aid. In addition, some theorists contend (and others deny) that governments are more farsighted than private firms. 

The history of the development of the DSA electrodes is a classic of its kind. The original inventor, Henri Beer, was of the traditional type his work started in a small private laboratory. The first offerof the rights to his invention was made by a large British chemical concern for 25,000. Successful patenting was concerned with the help of deNora of Milan, Italy. World patents have been taken out by Diamond Shamrock of the United States. 

Most standards used by the XML community are issued by the W3C and by OASIS, but many of them started as private activities of small groups without any official ties (SAX, Relax, Schematron). Specialized markup languages are usually backed by professional organizations or by inventors of the language. 

Mr. Wellington E. Walker died suddenly on May 8, 1980. His death is a deep loss to his friends at Union Carbide Corporation. He was honest in his private and professional lives and never surrendered his principles he was a good friend always ready to help he worked every day honestly with excellence and dedication. He was an inventor of commercialized reactions for low pressure polyethylene, the synthesis of n-octanol and the rhodium catalyzed homogeneous conversion of C0 H2 into polyols. He was a coauthor of ca. forty-six patents and twenty-seven papers. 

Most inventors are not independent private persons but employees of a company, institute, university, or the state. Inventions emerge from work for which they are paid or were the objective of their work. Thus, the resulting patent rights belong to the employer. (However, the inventor(s) must be named on a patent.) Many employment contracts for researchers contain specific provisions which transfer the rights to commercially exploit inventions to the employer. 

In the world of management gurus, however, there is no debate. Peter Drucker is undisputed alpha male. He is also one of the few thinkers from any discipline who can claim to have changed the world he is the inventor of privatization, the apostle of a new class of knowledge workers, the champion of management as a serious intellectual discipline [p. 63]. 

The first concrete public key system proposed with a security that has withstood the test of time was the RSA system, named for its inventors Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman. RSA is based on the computational difficulty of factoring the product of large primes. The public key consists of an n-bit modulus N, which is the product of two primes p and q each of length n/2 bits, and an element e of the multiplicative group Z. /V is called the RSA modulus and e is called the encryption exponent. The decryption exponent is d such that ed = mod (pin), where (piN) = ip — )iq — 1) is the Euler totient function. The private key is the pair N, d). Once the public and private keys have been generated, p and q are no longer needed. They can be discarded, but should not be disclosed. 

Nobel, Alfred Bernhard (1833-96) A Swedish industrial chemist and inventor of dynamite. One of eight children to poor parents, he showed an early interest in explosives. His father was an inventor and having moved to St Petersburg made his fortune making explosives. Now that it was affordable, Alfred first received private tuition and studied chemistry before moving to Paris and then the US. The Nobel family produced armaments for the Crimean War (1853-56) but thereafter filed for bankruptcy. His brother Ludwig...
