The Federal Circuit’s recent decisions in STC.UNM v. Intel Corp.[1] and In re Dinsmore[2] illustrate dangers associated with filing a terminal disclaimer to overcome a nonstatutory double-patenting rejection. In each case, the appellant tried to address the requirement that the terminally disclaimed patent had to be commonly owned with a patent owned by another party in order to be enforceable....

Three aspects of supersymmetric theories are discussed: electroweak symmetry breaking, the issues of flavor, and gauge unification. The heavy top quark plays an important, sometimes dominant, role in each case. Additional symmetries lead to extensions of the standard model which can provide an understanding for many of the outstanding problems of particle physics. A broken supersymmetric extens...

It has recently been claimed that certain aspects of mental processing cannot be simulated by computers, even in principle. The argument is examined and a lacuna is identified. ∗This work was supported by the Director, Office of Energy Research, Office of High Energy and Nuclear Physics, Division of High Energy Physics of the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC03-76SF00098.
