News Items
by Madhuresh 20 Aug '03

20 Aug '03

Dear All, I have some news item that, I felt, are useful for our profession. I just wanted to share it. I don't think that any information searcher is passing his day without using Google. If we have to search any information, the first site comes to our mind is Google (quick and dirty searching?). There are various services offered by Google and it is continuing to offer other useful services. Here are few services which Google introduced recently/going to introduce. I have modified some news items. IEEE Xplore Indexed by Google Researchers will soon be able to locate technical papers published by The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) by using the Google search engine. Google is currently indexing the abstract records for all online IEEE technical documents and standards available through the IEEE Xplore online delivery platform (http://www.ieee.org/ieeexplore) Starting sometime in September, Google users will see the linked content in search results. Abstracts are free and full-text will be available for purchase. Google users can view abstract records when linking from a Google search into IEEE Xplore. Abstract records will contain the document's bibliographic information and abstract summary, wherever available. Guests can continue to browse tables of contents to locate and purchase articles of interest. IEEE Members and users at subscribing institutions continue to have access to complete abstract records containing index terms, download citation links, linked references (backward links), "documents that cite this document" links (forward links), and CrossRef links. IEEE has more than 380,000 members in approximately 150 countries. The IEEE publishes 120 technical journals, magazines, and transactions, and has developed more than 900 active industry standards. The organization also sponsors or co-sponsors more than 300 international technical conferences each year. Google Calculator The Internet's top search engine announced it had crammed a mathematical calculator into its search service, letting users type math problems directly into the search box and get instant answers. Google's calculator is trained to recognize words as well as numbers, so you can type in "eight plus seven minus four" or "8 plus 7 minus 4." Both will yield 11. You can type numeric expressions either into the search box at Google's Web site (www.google.com) or directly into your Internet browser if you've installed Google's tool-bar software or you use a browser with built-in Google searching, such as Mozilla or Apple's Safari. Below the numeric answers Google returns, it will present a link to a regular Web search for your phrase in case you weren't trying to use the calculator. But this calculator doesn't just do simple multiplication. It also handles conversions. The calculator can evaluate mathematical expressions involving basic arithmetic (5+2*2 or 2^20), more complicated math (sine(30 degrees) or e^(i pi)+1), units of measure and conversions (100 miles in kilometers or 160 pounds * 4000 feet in Calories), and physical constants (1 a.u./c or G*mass of earth/radius of earth^2). You can also experiment with other numbering systems, including hexadecimal and binary. Here are some sample queries and there results. (G * mass of earth)/(radius of earth ^ 2) will result in (G * mass of Earth)/(radius of Earth^2) = 9.79982305 m / s2 1.21 GW / 88 mph will result in (1.21 gigaWatts) / (88 mph) = 30 757 874 Newtons Dictionary Definitions One can use Google to find dictionary definitions. Here one has to enter the query in the search box and any or all parts of query for dictionary definition is available will be underlined in the center text above the search results. For example: if you search for "kernel density function" in Google, just before the results you will find the following line in Blue Strip - Searched the web for kernel density function Results 1 - 50 of about 141,000. Search took 0.27 seconds. Here kernel, density and function are underlined and if you click on them, you will get the definitions of these terms from Dictionary.com. CAS Pursues Patent Searching Market with Science IP For 2 decades, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS; http://www.cas.org) has had an in-house custom search service available to do intermediated searches, primarily sophisticated structure and substructure searching of chemical files. Now, CAS has renamed and re-targeted its custom search service to focus on patents, both within and outside the chemical field. The revised service, called Science IP (http://www.scienceip.org) is targeted at the intellectual property community-patent searchers, attorneys, and research and development professionals. Besides relying on the array of databases produced by CAS and those hosted by STN International, CAS executives said that-if needed-the service would tap outside databases available on competitive services. One expert patent searcher suggested that the reorienting of the service may represent an effort by CAS to position itself competitively for when the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office begins outsourcing prior art searches, as proposed in The 21st Century Strategic Plan (http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/strat21/index.htm) The Science IP service will serve the sci-tech research needs of clients looking for prior art and patentability for the prosecution of new patents, freedom-to-practice-and-operate for new and existing technologies, and patent validity for infringement litigation. A four-person research team, including one part-time Ph.D. chemist, will provide the expert searching. The service will continue to draw on the Technical Advisory Team's 25 subject experts for assistance with the chemical searching they have always offered, e.g., experts in Markush chemical structures, nucleic and amino acid sequences, polymers, molecular biology and genetics, material sciences, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals.
