Modern society enters into the information society, and the information resource has become one of the most important strategic resources accordingly. As a special information and strategic resource, the patent plays a special role in the development and utihzation of the information resources. But when facing the massive amount of the patent information resources, the patent analyst meets a new challenge that how to carry out the patent analysis effectively and accurately (Yan, L.

As a crucially strategic resource, REs play a vital role in economic and social development. Over the past several decades, applications of REs have grown dramatically owing to their unique electronic structure and chemical properties. Meanwhile, the high value of these elements depends on the effective separation into high-purity compounds. Due to extremely similar electronic configurations, separation of individual REs is a daunting task.
