Exposing Latent Patent Infringement

Consider the following canonical patent infringement scenario. A [1] plaintiff owns a patent with one or more claims to the patent’s underlying technology. Under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a), this plaintiff has the rights to manufacture, sell, use, or import the technology delineated by those claims.1 The defendant manufactures, sells, uses, or imports what appears to be the same technology. Because the claim language is not entirely clear, a judge construes the exact meaning of the claims in a preliminary hearing.2 Assuming that the patent is upheld as valid, a jury then determines whether the defendant’s device meets the limitations of those claims, either literally or equivalently

Perceived Role Responsibilities of Physical Therapists and Adapted Physical Educators in the Public School Setting

Right to Education legislation has brought physical therapists and adapted physical educators together in the public school setting to serve the child with special needs. Investigation of the role responsibilities of these professionals would facilitate not only communication between the groups, but also understanding of their functions by other school personnel and administrators. We analyzed questionnaires returned by 79 physical therapists and 30 adapted physical educators to determine areas of uniqueness or similarity in 18 identified role responsibilities performed by these two groups. Each subject rated the appropriateness of each role to physical therapists and to adapted physical educators. On 10 of the 18 items, a statistically significant interaction indicated disagreement with regard to the relative contributions of the two professions. On the other 8 items, the two groups agreed that the role responsibility tends to belong to one profession or agreed that either profession could assume the responsibility. These data should provide information to help further delineate the role definitions for each of these professionals. In addition, the most efficient use of available resources may be used to meet the educational needs of these children

Boraformylation and Silaformylation of Allenes

The boraformylation of allenes with B2(pin)2 and a formate ester as boron and formyl source, respectively, proceeds in the presence of a copper catalyst. The reaction selectively affords the corresponding β‐boryl β,γ‐unsaturated aldehydes in good to high yields. Furthermore, the silaformylation of allenes was achieved with a formate ester and PhMe2Si−B(pin) as the silicon source.Boron or silicon? Boraformylation and silaformylation reactions of allenes with formate esters smoothly proceed in the presence of a copper catalyst using B2(pin)2 and PhMe2Si−B(pin) as the boron and silicon source, respectively. These reactions selectively afford the corresponding β‐boryl and β‐silyl β,γ‐unsaturated aldehydes in good to high yields with excellent regioselectivity.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137579/1/anie201611314-sup-0001-misc_information.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137579/2/anie201611314_am.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/137579/3/anie201611314.pd
