| Patents | A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention. An invention may be a product or a process which provides a new way of doing something, or offers a new technical solution to a problem. The term “invention” is, however, understood in different ways in different patent systems. | | | | Personalized learning | Learning is part of our everyday lives and, in fact, it's what keeps many of us actively productive for our entire lives. Why shouldn't we have the "best" learning experience possible-defined by ourselves? Some of the human elements of learning that computers are capable of handling very well are assessing our individual learning styles and preferences, generating learning appropriate to our abilities and our knowledge level, and, best of all, giving us that critical piece of information exactly when we need it. | | | | Perspective view | a future possibility, a view in the future | | | | Point Rating System | a system which allows comparison/evaluation of something according to defined evaluation criteria. | | | | Prototype (refers to Rapid Prototyping) | A physical model or representation of the new product concept or design. Depending upon the purpose, prototypes may be non-working models or representations, functionally working, or both functionally and geometrically complete and accurate. Prototypes (physical, electronic, digital, analytical, etc.) can be used for the purpose of, but not limited to: a) assessing the feasibility of a new or unfamiliar technology, b)assessing or mitigating technical risk, c) validating requirements, d) demonstrating critical features, e) qualifying a product, e) qualifying a process, f) characterising performance or product features, or g) elucidating physical principles. | | |
