Patents on the soles of your shoes 2013 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781542406741)

(c) 2018 Françoise Herrmann The first volume of Patents on the Soles of Your Shoes is a book intended for readers who are seriously interested in inventions and the documents that drive them. From Nike Inc., sole systems with on-board biometric sensors and peek-a-boo windows, to Sanuk(R) "hoodies" for your feet, via Geox Amphibiox "holey" shoes and Asics(R) gel soles, this reference book is all about patents on the soles of your shoes -- and elsewhere. Patents elsewhere, driving the science of your mascara and the electronic engineering of your razors. Patents opening up unimaginable possibilities, such as spray-on fabric, bioprinted tissues and organs, or 3D printed dwellings, using a robotic arm to pour cement from a gantry. Patents also steeped in controversy, such as man-made animal models and transgenic technology. Approximately 75 patents are cited in this volume, together with abstracts, and hyperlinks or square QR Codes (for the print version). These links provide readers with an AR (Augmented Reality) experience, offering access to the book's source of connected information, such as complete patent versions and the various members of patent families. In 2018, the blog that informed this book, is still humming, capturing inventions this year, and each year since 2013, as well as some of the long history that has preceded, or the current events that surround them
