The creation of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is widely regarded as an improvement in the system of patent litigation in the United States. However, there is still support for the creation of a specialized patent court at the trial level. Much of the support for the creation of such a court derives from the argument that most judges have too little experience to be familiar with ...

We study satellites of Legendrian knots in R and their relation to the Chekanov–Eliashberg differential graded algebra of the knot. In particular, we generalize the well-known correspondence between rulings of a Legendrian knot in R and augmentations of its DGA by showing that the DGA has finite-dimensional representations if and only if there exist certain rulings of satellites of the knot. We...

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law nearly a decade ago. The ADA is designed to protect persons with disabilities from discrimination in nearly every aspect of American life. This article focuses on a number of recent court rulings that help to clarify important components of the ADA. It is critical for health and human services professionals to be aware of these recen...

A non-linear differential equation is analyzed to determine the geodesic curves on ruled surfaces with time-like rulings inR31. When it is assumed that curvature and torsion of the base curve and components with respect to Frenet’s frame of time-like straight-line are constants, for a special integration constant, it appears that the resulting non-linear differential equation can be integrated ...

In this article, we research on the correspondences between the geometry of del Pezzo surfaces Sr and the geometry of Gosset polytopes (r−4)21. We study skew a-lines(a ≤ r), exceptional systems and rulings, and we explain their correspondences to (a− 1)-simplexes, (r − 1)-simplexes and (r − 1)-crosspolytopes in (r − 4)21. And we apply these correspondences to the monoidal transform for lines an...

1. Laws and regulations, and final judicial decisions and administrative rulings of general application, made effective by a Member pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement (the availability, scope, acquisition, enforcement and prevention of the abuse of intellectual property rights) shall be published, or where such publication is not practicable made publicly available, in a nationa...

This study examines what in Denmark may constitute evidence based on forensic anthropological gait analyses, in the sense of pointing to a match (or not) between a perpetrator and a suspect, based on video and photographic imagery. Gait and anthropometric measures can be used when direct facial comparison is not possible because of perpetrators masking their faces. The nature of judicial and na...
