Strategic Citation: A Reassessment

Kenneth Younge, Jeffrey Kuhn

The United States patent system is unique in that it requires applicants to cite documents they know to be relevant to the examination of their patent applications. Lampe (2012) presents evidence that applicants strategically withhold 21-33% of relevant ci ...

Piezoelectric Grippers for Mobile Micromanipulation

Tristan Abondance, Kaushik Jayaram

The ability to efficiently and precisely manipulate objects in inaccessible environments is becoming an essential requirement for many applications of mobile robots, particularly at small sizes. Here, we propose and implement a mobile micromanipulation sol ...

The triangular value of patents

Albina Khairullina

This thesis addresses the question of a patent value from three different angles. It comprises three papers on the patent valuation methods. The patent valuation issues are well-known to the world of research and practice. However, the debates over what th ...

Measurement Scheduling for Cooperative Localization in Resource-Constrained Conditions

Qi Yan, Li Jiang

This letter studies the measurement scheduling problem for a group of

N

mobile robots moving on a flat surface that are preforming cooperative localization (CL). We consider a scenario in which due to the limited on-board resources such as battery life a ...

Discrimination against foreigners in the U.S. patent system

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse

Inventions of foreign origin are about ten percentage points less likely to be granted a U.S. patent than domestic inventions. An empirical analysis of 1.5 million U.S. patent applications identifies three systematic differences between foreign and domesti ...

Wanted: A standard for virtual patent marking

Gaétan Jean A de Rassenfosse, Kyle William Higham

Patent marking is used by patentees to provide a form of notice to the public about the existence of a patent and can increase damages awarded in cases of infringement. Historically, marking is done by listing the associated patents on the product they cov ...

Patent citations reexamined

Kenneth Younge, Jeffrey Kuhn

Many studies rely on patent citations to measure intellectual heritage and impact. In this article, we show that the nature of patent citations has changed dramatically in recent years. Today, a small minority of patent applications are generating a large ...

RoboScallop: A Bivalve Inspired Swimming Robot

Jamie Paik, Matthew Aaron Robertson

Underwater swimming robots permit remote access to over 70% of the Earth's surface that is covered in water for a variety of scientific, environmental, tactical, or industrial purposes. Many practical applications for robots in this setting include sensing ...

Perception, control and planning for (self-)reconfigurable modular robots

Mehmet Hasan Mutlu

Modular robots (MRs) consist of similar modules that can be configured into different shapes. MRs introduce a number of benefits over conventional robots specifically designed for a task. Self-reconfigurable modular robots (SRMRs) are a sub-category of MRs ...

Bidirectional interactions facilitate the integration of a robot into a shoal of zebrafish Danio rerio

Francesco Mondada, Frank Bonnet, Vaios Papaspyros, Bertrand Eric Collignon

Many studies on collective animal behavior seek to identify the individual rules that underlie collective patterns. However, it was not until the recent advancements of micro-electronic and embedded systems that scientists were able to create mixed groups ...
