RECOVERY OF PERFORMED COOKING SOLUTIONS AT OXIDATIVE-ORGAN-SOLVENT WARNES IN NEEDRE PLANT RAW MATERIALS

The possibility of recovering the spent cooking solution with the replacement of the missing amount of lignifying reagents in the oxidative-organic solvent cooking of non-woody plant raw materials (rice husk) with preliminary alkaline treatment and the production of technical pulp with desired properties is shown. Analysis of scientific and patent information revealed that two methods of regeneration are used for regeneration of spent cooking solutions during oxidation-organosolve cooking: azeotropic distillation and return of part of the spent cooking solution for re-cooking with the completion of the missing amount of reagents. For the oxidation-organosolvent cooking non-wood plant materials the most promising is the second option. To avoid the preservation of mineral components in industrial pulp, non-wood plant materials are subjected to alkaline treatment. It has been established that to obtain technical pulp with recovery of the spent cooking solution, it is required two times less acetic acid and 1.7 times fresh water as compared to oxidation-organic solvent cooking under standard conditions with a constant amount of caustic soda.

Technology blokchein as an industrial property object: patent activity characteristic

The article gives an assessment of the current state and technological profile of blockchain in the global innovation space. Com­parison of the level of inventive activity in the global scale of the blockchain development sector made it possible to identify countries with higher efficiency of scientific and techni­cal activities — the USA and China. An increased patent activity of world corporations was noted, which indicates the use of patenting as a tool for creating a temporary mo­nopoly on the market and for creating new markets based on the principle of «primacy» of access to the consumer. The active patenting of blockchain in the international PCT system, more than 30 %, indicates its high importance and prospects. The race of corporations for leadership changes the patent landscape every month. Today, IBM, nChain Holdings Limited, takes the first place, and MasterCard International Incorporated has moved to the third place. The structure of the technological profile of blockchain in the global innovation space is defined, which includes: a hybrid blockchain; methods and sys­tems of blockchain using digital signatures; software testing, computerized scoring based on text and visual feedback; integration of market exchange and processing of issuers of transactions; blockchain security; identity management service to ensure the certifica­tion of transactions, etc. Conclusions are made about the high patentability of blockchain, its prospects and the need to further highlight specific aspects in the legal and technological field of the blockchain. However, understanding the existing limita­tions and disadvantages of the approach, the analysis of patent information can be ac­tively used to understand the key trends in technological development, providing the necessary information basis for the formation of effective evidence-based scientific, tech­nical and innovation policies.

Patent bibliometrics and its use for technology watch

Technology watch is a methodology for organisations to systematically analyzetechnical information in a continuous way in order to gain insight and competitive advantagein a specific technical domain and is based mainly on statistical analysis of patent information.Patent statistics are commonly based on bibliographic data and generated with bibliometrictechniques. In this paper we describe the differences between patent bibliometrics and classicbibliometrics and propose several patent indicators for technology watch activities which weclassified into four categories: performance, technology, patent value and collaborationindicators. In a case study we undertook a bibliometric patent analysis using the describedgroups of indicators in order to generate a technology watch of nanotechnology for the domainof a whole country (Spain) and explained the different data visualizations we used in order torepresent the indicators. We conclude that statistical analysis of patent information and itsvisualization is a powerful methodology for any competitive intelligence activity centred ontechnology but there are also some limitations to bear in mind when undertaking technologywatch activities using patent information discussed in terms of its timeliness, patentabilitycriteria, sector dependence, quantity vs. quality.

How companies work and fail to work with business intelligence

Most papers in this issue deal with different sides of business intelligence systems. Empirical data froma number of countries and companies are gathered to illustrate how companies work and fail to workwith competitive intelligence.The paper by Alnoukari and Hanano, entitled “Integration of business intelligence with corporatestrategic management,” deals with the relationships between business intelligence and strategicmanagement. The paper proposes a BSC-BI framework that facilitates the integration of businessintelligence with the balanced scorecard methodology using an example of a case from the telecomindustry.The paper by Jürgens, “Patent bibliometrics and its use for technology watch,” is on the topic oftechnology watch and statistical analysis of patent information and proposes patent indicators fortechnology watch activities, which are classified into four categories: performance, technology, patentvalue and collaboration indicators. The case of nanotechnology for a whole country is applied asexample.The paper by Søilen, “Why care about competitive intelligence and market intelligence? The case ofEricsson and Swedish Cellulose Company (SCA),” tries to answer that question with an example of twoSwedish companies. The history of the intelligence function in private companies is compared to that ofstate and military organizations. The most interesting question turns out to be why more companiesdon't pay attention to CI and MI when so many arguments speak to their advantages.The paper by Gauzelin and Benz is entitled “An examination of the impact of business intelligencesystems on organizational decision making and performance: The case of France”. This empirical studyexamines the impact of business intelligence systems on organizational decision-making andperformance. They found that when BI systems are deployed in SMEs, they facilitate timely decisionmaking, improve organizational efficiency, enable a company to meet client’s needs appropriately andlead to more satisfied employees.The paper by Langlois and Chauvel is entitled “The impact of supply chain management on businessintelligence”. The authors argue for why it makes sense to see the BI function as an extension of supplychain management, but moreover they show how difficult it has become to separate BI from other ITintensive processes in the organization.As always, we would above all like to thank the authors for their contributions to this issue of JISIB.Thanks to Dr. Allison Perrigo for reviewing English grammar and helping with layout design for allarticles and to the Swedish Research Council for continuous financial support.

Exploring Suitable Technology for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) Based on a Hidden Markov Model Using Patent Information and Value Chain Analysis

R&D cooperative efforts between large firms and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have been accelerated to develop innovative projects and deploy profitable businesses. In general, win-win alliances between large firms and SMEs for sustainable growth require the pre-evaluation of their capabilities to explore high potential partners for successful collaborations. Thus, this research proposes a systematic method that identifies SME-suitable technology where SMEs have a competitive edge in R&D collaborations. First, such technology fields are identified by various factors that influence successful R&D activities by applying the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) and using information on value chains of an industry. To identify these fields, innovation factors such as the current impact index and technology cycle time are composed using the bibliographic information of patents. Second, patent information is analyzed to obtain observation probability in terms of technical competitiveness, and value chain data is used to calculate transition probability in HMMs. Finally, the Viterbi algorithm is employed to formulate the aforementioned two types of probability as a tool for selecting appropriate fields for SMEs. This paper applies the proposed approach to the solar photovoltaic industry to explore SME-suitable technologies. This research can contribute to help develop successful R&D partnership between large firms and SMEs.

Recent Application Technology Trends Analysis of Zinc Sulfide: Based on Patent Information Analysis

Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) is one of the II-VI semiconducting materials, having novel fundamental properties and diverse areas of application such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), electroluminescence, flat panel displays, infrared windows, catalyst, chemical sensors, biosensors, lasers and biodevices, etc. However, despite the remarkable versatility and prospective potential of ZnS, research and development (R&D) into its applications has not been performed in much detail relative to research into other inorganic semiconductors. In this study, based on global patent information, we analyzed recent technical trends and the current status of R&D into ZnS applications. Furthermore, we provided new technical insight into ZnS applicable fields using in-depth analysis. Especially, this report suggests that ZnS, due to its infrared-transmitting optical property, is a promising material in astronomy and military fields for lenses of infrared systems. The patent information analysis in this report will be utilized in the process of identifying the current positioning of technology and the direction of future R&D.

Redeveloping Drugs Based on Existing Patents

With the advent of the era of knowledge economy and China’s join into WTO, the Problem of intellectual property rights of drug has become increasingly important to Pharmaceutical industry and even to all society. The Patent Protection is the most important part of intellectual property right of drug, which does not only act as a safe guard and stimulator to drug development, but also is a Powerful tool for drug development Providing comprehensive technology and law information. The paper analyzed some Pharmaceutical companies' strategies to develop new drug with Patent. An investigation of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission shows that, the pharmaceutical industry is more dependent on patents than any other industries; the industry prevents free competition, compensate R&D investment, and learn about new technical breakthroughs through patents. Chinese researchers have no strong awareness of using patent literatures, often neglecting acquisition and analysis of patent information. Therefore, the author summarized and analyzed current methods of how foreign pharmaceutical companies use patent information for drug development, to provide Chinese pharmaceutical companies with references on fully using patent resources to develop drugs
