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.

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

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.

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.
