Protecting Trade Secrets to Stimulate Knowledge Flows
As part of a debugging project, an employee of an Indian company, Geometric Ltd., was given access to software source code owned by SolidWorks, a U.S.-based client of the firm. After leaving Geometric, the employee was caught trying to sell the software code to SolidWorks' competitors. Because Indian law does not recognize the misappropriation of trade secrets, it was not possible to sue the individual. Since the source code belonged to SolidWorks --- not Geometric --- he technically had not stolen from his employer.

GE Unveils 3D Mammography with a 2D Dose
GE Unveils 3D Mammography with a 2D Dose
Like a jet flying farther without burning more fuel, or a computer chip crunching data faster in the same small space, mammography is making a similar technological leap when it comes to its latest advance in image clarity.
GE Healthcare announced today that it has received FDA approval for a new mammography solution, SenoClaire*, which helps clinicians see breast tissue in three-dimensions -- but can do so without needing to increase the amount of X-rays used in standard 2D imaging.
Wauwatosa, WI, September 3, 2014 --- GE Healthcare (NYSE: GE) today announced the FDA approval of SenoClaire*, GE's new breast tomosynthesis solution designed with a three-dimensional imaging technology. In collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital, GE developed SenoClaire technology that uses a low-dose short X-ray sweep around the positioned breast with nine exposures acquired with a "step-and-shoot" method, removing the potential motion from the tube helping to reduce blur and increase image sharpness.

How Urban Waste is Powering Rural Sustainability
How Urban Waste is Powering Rural Sustainability
The term "sustainability" is used more and more in urban settings today. With cities expanding, buildings reaching new heights and global populations exploding, it's logical to implement environmentally responsible initiatives to dispose of the wastes these lifestyles generate. But what we don't hear much about is the importance of sustainability after disposing of these wastes. Quite often, final disposal occurs in massive landfills, where waste is left to slowly decompose for many years.
