The Need for Protecting Industrial Designs

Industrial design is one of the intellectual property categories, which is created by an individual using his mind ‘the intellect”. Industrial design plays an important part in the marketability of products. This ornamental or aesthetic feature of products could differentiate one product from another, both having similar function. Everything produced by man involves an element of design whether...

Classification of Aesthetic Curves and Surfaces for Industrial Designs

There always have been patterns where there have been designs. Figure 1 shows both very famous, aesthetically beautiful, but perfectly different two statues that are known as treasures of the world. The statue of David, for example, gives us sharp, or even likely, European impression while the statue of Basara gives us centripetal, oriental impression. Figure 2. Celica (Toyota, Japan) and F355 ...

An Aluminum Nitride (AlN) MEMS resonator technology has been developed, enabling massively parallel filter and oscillator arrays on a single chip. Low loss filter banks and resonator arrays covering the 10MHz10GHz frequency range have been demonstrated, as has monolithic integration with inductors and CMOS circuitry. The high level of integration enables miniature multi-band, spectrally-aware a...
