    ``Stanford University has announced the recipients of the first Bio-X research grants, which will provide $3 million to each of 19 projects. The Bio-X program, supported by a $150 million donation from Netscape cofounder Jim Clark and a $60 million anonymous donation, will bring together scientists from every discipline to work on a wide range of problems. For example, a neurobiologist will work with an ophthamologist, a chemical engineer, and an electrical engineer on a project to restore sight by attaching a digital camera to a person's retinal cells. Other projects will involve human tissue engineering and the newly sequenced human genome. The Bio-X program will receive a home in 2003 when the $150 million Clark Center opens. The center will encourage interaction among scientists, researchers, and students from different areas. Interdisciplinary research such as this is catching on in universities across the country as new technology allows previously undreamed-of advances in science. Channing Robertson, chemical engineering professor and Bio-X committee member, says science is `sloping over the sides of the disciplines, and that's where the interesting stuff is going to happen.'''

Patent Research
Submitted by Nobody ; posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2003
A new book - "Keyword Patent Searching Online" ? offers a fresh approach to patent searching using keywords only. Online patent databases have improved dramatically in the last few years. This is the only known source that teaches patent searching by practicing, using in-depth searches. Four patent searches (using basic technologies) are the highlight of the book. Each search requires about four hours. The USPO and the EPO search engines are used to screen U.S. and global prior art. Step-by-step search solutions are provided that show how each patent is identified. If the search results are promising, we recommend that the searcher engage an attorney to prepare a patent application. The workbook makes a compelling case that searching for U.S. and international patents online is the best way for searching patentability. Professional-quality search results can be achieved. The book is recommended for all searchers and is suitable for beginners. The author has been an intellectual property attorney for 20 years.
