This Essay explores the largely overlooked relationship between claim construction and patent assertion entities (patent “trolls”) finding that claim construction problems and trends benefit patent assertion entities. First, the Federal Circuit is deeply divided as to the proper approach to claim construction. This split is a significant contributor to uncertain patent scope, which is widely-re...

In the text, a proof is given of a result with a similar statement that a partially ordered set with height k is a union of k C 1 antichains (the number is k C 1 because the height of partially ordered set is the defined to be the number of links in the longest chain, and there is one more node in the chain than the number of links). The introduction to Dilworth’s Theorem claims that it has a s...

The following claim will be used to verify that an index satisfies Continuity. Claim 1 Any index that is a continuous function of the T n g 's (the numbers of each group g in each school n) represents an ordering that satisfies the axiom of Continuity.

This article examines how Indigenous Australians‟ claims to their land are represented in the mainstream, non-Indigenous Australian media. In so doing, the article explores the common tropes available to non-Indigenous Australians in relation to Indigenous ownership of land, and in particular the native title system.

In a recent study Ellegård, Goldsmith, Hay, and Morton concluded that electrogustometry is neither mediated by sour taste receptors, nor reflects sour taste quality. While aspects of electric taste await a full explanation, such farreaching claims have significant implications for the future of electrogustometry in clinical practice. The current paper presents a critique of the grounds upon whi...
