This paper argues that innovation can be best understood as an information process which is then concretized as a product that meets demand. Two very different firms, Canon Inc. and Apple Computer Inc., are used as case study illustrations. Innovation does not proceed through logical deduction, but rather is furthered by the use of metaphors and analogies. The bureaucratic and staid structures ...

kaolin-so3h as a new solid acid is prepared via reaction of kaolin and chlorosulfonic acid. this natural based catalyst is very inexpensive and easy available. imidazoles are an important class of heterocycles being the core fragment of different natural products and biological systems such as anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antifungal, antimycotic, antibiotic, antiulcerative, anti...

Qanda is MITRE’s entry into the question-answering (QA) track of the TREC conference(Voorhees & Harman 2002). This year, Qanda was re-engineered to use a new architecture for human language technology called Catalyst, developed at MITRE for the DARPA TIDES program. The Catalyst architecture was chosen because it was specifically designed for fast processing and for combining the strengths of In...

Purely catalytic P systems can generate all recursively enumerable sets of natural numbers with only three catalysts in one membrane, whereas we know that one catalyst in one membrane is not enough. On the other hand, P systems also allowing (non-catalytic) non-cooperative evolution rules with only two catalysts in one membrane are already computationally complete, too. We here investigate spec...
