“[…] it will happen, and it will create a dramatic change in how we think both about intellectual property and how things are in the supply chain,” Friedman said.

It often takes a crisis to get all stakeholders to move as one, and current strong financial results signal anything but a crisis environment. Adverse regulatory decisions, pressure from competitive automation, or a significant recession could put pressure on the industry and provide a catalyst for change.

“I probably have graduated 40 Ph.D. students, and none of them have gone into academia because of what they perceive as a funding disaster.”

"Poor people deserve to prosper too," she said. "So we work on wealth building and wealth retention." 

In three decades of breeding, he has never filed for a patent on his lettuce varieties, because he wants others to build on his work.

But there’s more. Investigative journalists heed the maxim “follow the money.” Let’s follow the carrot.

We developed an analytical model for wave number–spiral acoustic tweezers. This model considers multiple SAWs with different frequency–wave number components propagating in different directions, allowing rapid simulations of the SAW wavefield, Gor’kov potential field, and acoustic radiation force generated by the wave number–spiral acoustic tweezers. As a result, this model can be used as an efficient tool to explore the potential capabilities and design possibilities of acoustic tweezers. The solutions for potential well distributions were derived through analytical studies, along with the relation between phase change and spatial translation vector. The analytical solutions can be used not only for predicting the potential well patterns but also for guiding the dynamic manipulation process and design of acoustic tweezers. Moreover, using our analytical model, we found a new type of single potential well, multitone potential wells, which are formed by minimizing the multitone SAWs. The single well is present at the global potential minimum, which is surrounded by other local potential minima. Because the potential gradient toward the global minimum is steeper than the gradients toward local minima, the acoustic radiation force driving particles to the global potential minimum is higher than the forces driving particles to the local potential minima. This means that particles are easier to trap at the global minimum by using the same input power for exciting IDTs. As the acoustic radiation forces toward the local minima become stronger with larger input power, the chance that particles fall into local minima will increase. By introducing the subarray concept to wave number–spiral acoustic tweezers, our acoustic tweezers are able to generate two independent multitone potential wells using two subarrays. The position of each potential well can be independently controlled by properly modulating the phase differences of the corresponding subarray.

“The game is actually much harder when you have to play it the way we originally intended, conserving the balls, making sure to make every shot count. It’s a different vibe,” says Sayre.

One of the leading manufacturers of superabrasives is Norton|Saint-Gobain Abrasives, Worcester, Mass. Alfredo Barragan, senior corporate application engineer for super-abrasives North America, said grinding was once considered a “finishing only” process, but, with the development of increasingly capable grinding technology, has evolved into a mainstream machining process. In order to achieve the greatest success with this process, however, equally modern abrasives must be applied.

"PMI is aerospace precision machining service, specializing in high-tolerance machining for flight critical aerospace parts used to build space flight vehicles by SpaceX and other Department of Defense aerospace contractors," authorities said in a release.
