We use patent citation networks to study the dynamics of technical change in Ethernet, a standard for data communication. We first consider the evolution of the broad technological system of Local Area Networks (LANs) and we identify the most significant inventions within the specific subfield of Ethernet. Then we analyse the structure of connectivity of patent citation networks to reconstruct ...

By analyzing the granted patents distribution of the energy-saving and environmental protection industry in China from 2008 to 2013, the conclusion can be reached: firstly, technological innovations of the energy-saving industry are focused on the environmentally air-conditioning and heat pump technical field, and technological innovations of the resources recycling industry is mainly concentra...

This article discusses the prospects for the development of the implementation of scientific and technical cooperation. On the example of international cooperation between Ukraine and Chile, there are approaches to improving the procedure for developing cooperation priorities. The current state of these relations does not reflect real trends in the development of international economic relation...

Inflows of foreign direct investment generate externalities that spill over to domestic firms and raise their productivity. This article examines the extent of spillover effects of foreign direct investment for firms in the highly disaggregated garment (ISIC 3221) and electronics industries (ISIC 3832) in Indonesia. Both are export-intensive industries, but differ greatly in technological sophi...

The Leading-Edge Cluster Intelligent Technical Systems OstWestfalenLippe (it’s OWL) focusses on the innovation leap from mechatronics to systems with inherent intelligence. The intention is to show the way from the first steps of the foundation to the implementation of technological methods into the cluster companies. The development of intelligent technical systems which can optimize their beh...

Technical mediation shapes our experience of the world, but it also shapes our experience of ourselves. In this paper, I argue that in order to understand the latter aspect of technical mediation, we need to expand on notions of technical mediation that focuses on actual use, and bring in possible use as well. The concept of technical mediation must therefore be grounded in a more general conce...
