Brazil Tech Most Advanced in the World
|
|
Anonymous writes: Avatar Director James Cameron does battle with technology giant, Brazil. The following is a copy of a letter sent to Atossa Soltani, Founder and Executive Director of Amazon Watch on April 17, 2010.
To the attention of Atossa Soltani:
After reading several AP articles in local papers in California, I became aware of the issues over the Belo Monte project. I have visited many of the countries in South America and to the Amazon in Ecuador and Peru (time in Brazil/Iguazu only), but not to the area of the proposed dam.
I understand that a group of your people was recently in Brazil with Avatar director, James Cameron ; I should think he would be very interested in knowing about this
technology.

Provisional Patents Don’t Exist
|
|
By David M. DeMay (inventorsdigest.com)
In the inventor community, many possess a limited understanding of the U.S. patent process.
One of the most common misunderstandings relates to the notion of a
“provisional patent.” I’ve heard people say, “I have a provisional
patent” or “I am protected because I have filed for a provisional
patent.” Because of their misunderstanding of the process, many have
unintentionally surrendered any patent rights they may have secured for
their invention.

Putting Ideas And Inventions Into The Public Domain
|
|
from the an-idea-who's-time-has-come dept
A few months back, we wondered why it was so difficult to opt out of copyright. Soon after that, Creative Commons added its CC0
license, which gets you a long way towards putting your content in the
public domain (there are a few issues related to it, but it's better
than nothing). With patents, the issue isn't quite the same. With
copyright, you're automatically given a copyright on creative works.
Obviously, that's not the case with patents. However, people have
wondered how they can put their invention in the public domain, such that (a) others can benefit from it and (b) it prevents others from patenting it at a later date...

Engineer fights charges over invention scam
|
|
 From http://www.keelynet.com/#whatsnew : A
GOLD Coast businessman raised more than $1 million from investors for a
magnet-powered engine that would never work, a court has been told.
Sovereign Island-based Micheal Nugent is fighting charges brought by
the Australian Securities and Investments Commission that he engaged in
misleading and deceptive conduct. Mr Nugent, an engineer, says his
invention will work and that fundraising was not deceptive. ASIC says
Mr Nugent, a director of Cycclone Magnetic Engines Inc. based at Gaven
and Lismore, failed to disclose documents as required under the
Corporations Act, and acted deceptively when raising more than
$1million from shareholders.

Energy Wedgists versus Technology Breakthroughists
|
|
The future of the world's economy and climate may depend on which side wins
by Ronald Bailey | June 3, 2008/ Reason Magazine
...
The energy technology debate among those who are concerned about the dangers of man-made global warming divides into two camps—wedgists and breakthroughists...
Breakthroughists argue that the wedgist approach is a technical and political non-starter. In 2002, a number of leading energy researchers argued in Science that current on-the-shelf technologies cannot supply low-carbon energy at an acceptable cost.

DOE Announces Plans for Future Loan Guarantee Solicitations
|
|
WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)
today announced plans to issue loan guarantee solicitations in two
stages this summer for up to $38.5 billion for projects that employ
advanced technologies that avoid, reduce or sequester emissions of air
pollutants and greenhouse gases. This will mark the second and third
rounds of solicitations for DOE’s Loan Guarantee program, which
encourages the development of new energy technologies and is an
important step in paving the way for clean energy projects.

Entrepreneurs turn tables on venture capitalists at TheFunded
|
|
An entrepreneur has turned the tables on venture capitalists by
creating TheFunded, an online community where heads of start-ups expose
devils and saviors in the world of moneyed investors.
Adeo Ressi founded the unprecedented online
forum in March of last year to show entrepreneurs how to swim among
financial sharks and not be devoured.
He is so wary of powerful venture capitalists that he remained anonymous until last month.

Global appetite for inventions fuels patent explosion

The global appetite for inventions and their money-making spin-offs has
sparked an explosion in patent applications, mainly in Asia and the
United States, which threatens to swamp the system responsible for
dealing with them, experts have warned.

A New Strategy to Spur Energy Innovation
|
|
 By Peter Ogden, John Podesta, John Deutch
Center for American Progress/ 3 Jan 2008
This was originally published as an article in Issues.
Read the full report (pdf)
The United States must confront the reality of its energy
circumstances. Consumers and industry are facing the prospect of a
continued rise in the real price of oil and natural gas as conventional
reserves are depleted. The increased reliance of the United States and
its partners on imported oil—a large proportion of which comes from the
hostile and politically fragile Persian Gulf—is constraining the
nation’s pursuit of important foreign policy objectives.

Pelosi Issues Statement on Failure of Senate to Pass New Energy Bill
On Friday, the Office of the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi released her statement in response to the Senate's failure to invoke cloture on a House-passed energy bill.
Cloture is defined as the one procedure through which the Senate can
vote to place a time limit on consideration of a bill or other matter
in order to overcome a filibuster. Under Rule XXI, the Senate may limit
consideration of a pending matter to 30 additional hours, but only by
vote of not less than three-fifths of the full Senate, which typically
means no fewer than 60 votes.

HARRISBURG — House and Senate lawmakers remain apart on how much to
spend on developing alternate energy sources during the next few years,
but they are coming together on who should have a controlling voice
over how the money is spent.
