With the threat for tornadoes and flooding looming over the next few days, the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes (FLASH) reminds residents to closely monitor severe weather alerts from the National Weather Service and follow these tips for surviving severe weather.
Tornado Safety
Tornado Safety
- Closely monitor a NOAA weather radio and/or a smartphone weather alerting apps to receive lifesaving severe weather alert information and other emergency messages on a timely basis.
- The best place to shelter in a tornado is indoors. Start with certified shelters and safe rooms, safe spaces above or below ground, or community shelters in public spaces labeled as official tornado shelters like stores, malls, churches or even airports.
- If caught by extreme winds or flying debris while in a car, park as quickly and safely as possible -- out of the traffic lanes. Stay in the car with the seat belt on. Put your head down below the windows; cover your head with your hands and a blanket, coat or other cushion if possible.
- If you can safely get noticeably lower than the level of the roadway, leave your car and lie in that area, covering your head with your hands.
- Avoid seeking shelter under bridges, which can create deadly traffic hazards while offering little protection against flying debris.
- Whether you are driving or walking, if you come to a flooded road, follow this simple rule: Turn Around…Don't Drown. Just six inches of flowing water can knock a person off their feet. Eighteen to 24 inches of moving water can wash an SUV off the road.
- Flooded roads could have significant damage hidden by floodwaters. NEVER drive through floodwaters or on flooded roads. Water only one foot deep can float away most automobiles.
- Don't allow children to play near high water, storm drains or ditches. Hidden dangers could lie beneath the water.

In 2005, Edward Close, PhD, a mold remediation consultant with 30 years experience in the environmental industry, was asked to do third-party sampling for mold in an apartment complex that had been flooded, evacuated, and later put up for sale. The buyer who was renovating the apartments had paid a company which had used the strongest stuff they knew of—a hospital disinfectant. Yet Dr Close's sampling showed that either the product had not killed the mold or that the mold had already re-established itself.
After much urging by his wife, he diffused Thieves oil in the apartments for a 24-hour period. The research project yielded astonishing results! And two weeks later they were even more astonishing!
In another instance, 10,667 stachybotrys mold spores were identified in a per cubic meter area. After diffusing Thieves essential oil for 48 hours, Dr Close retested. Only thirteen stachybotrys remained. Similarly, 75,000 stachybotrys mold spores were identified in a sample of sheetrock. After 72 hours of diffusing, no stachybotrys mold spores remained.
Disappearing Toxic Mold Spores 10,667 to 13 in 48 hours 75,000 to 0 in 72 hours
Most remarkable to mold remediation experts is that three factors about Thieves oil merge to create a perfect storm against toxic mold...
Dr Close documented his first 20 case studies (yielding similar results) in his book Nature's Mold Rx, the Non-Toxic Solution to Toxic Mold. See more at his mold website.
While it is exciting to finally see Thieves-specific research on toxic mold, the following studies on the individual ingredients in Thieves have been telling us the same story for years.

It was mold killing that convinced me of the power of Thieves. My mother-in-law swears by Thieves for everything.
Our boat was flooded while we were in Canada for 2 weeks and we returned to a terrible outbreak of mold on every interior surface. It was bad enough my wife thought it was a total loss. I went out and bought 8 different cleaners including bleach and sprayed them on different places. My Mother-in-law had dropped off her bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner. (She nearly keeps it under lock and key. Ha Ha)
I walked away for a bit and when I came back there was only one spot that really was clear of the mold--the spot I had sprayed with Thieves Houshold Cleaner.
It took 3 days of scrubbing and a whole bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner but the boat was saved from the scrapyard. It cleaned it off the wood, carpet and vinyl and the smell was great especially after the stench of mold. It even cleaned the fiberglass better than the cleaner from the dealer.
I can see me using it in my construction business now as mold abatement is big business here.
Thanks for the websites, I'll be looking at them this weekend when I have more time. -- Dan Burke - Oct 24, 2008
Cinnamon Is Key Ingredient in Anti-Mold Wrapper
August 29, 2008: The New York Times cited a study showing that wax paper infused with cinnamon essential oil totally inhibited bread mold whereas plain wax paper had no effect. Researchers said the cinnamon wax paper was safe and environmentally friendly and may also be effective in keeping fruits, vegetables and meats fresh.
Imagine wrapping your family and belongings in a protective cloud by diffusing cinnamon-rich Thieves essential oil in your home.
Every fall, we get mold growing on the siding of our house, so last October, I cleaned a 4 ft. X 4 ft. area with Thieves® Household Cleaner. I sprayed it on, scrubbed it with a brush, waited five minutes, and sprayed it down with the hose. I showed my husband how clean it was, but he still chose to clean the rest of the side of the house with bleach. This October, I looked at that side of the house. Again, the seasonal mold is all over the siding...except for the 4 ft. X 4 ft. area I cleaned with Thieves last year! -- Deb Bowman in the Nov 23 2005 Young Living E-News
After some heavy rain, we got mold and mildew in our carpet, causing the room to smell horrible. I put a few drops of Thieves® oil in a spray bottle with water and sprayed the carpets and the air in the effected room. Almost instantly the smell dissipated and never returned. -- Melissa Giaquinto in the Sep 30 2005 Young Living E-News

Hi All,
I plan on making entries into the journal from the travel journals that we wrote on our trip. This hopefully will keep the entries fresh and spontaneous (although technically late entries hehehe). I am pairing photos with the journal entries, but unfortunately they have to be small or they are really bad quality. To see the photos larger (and good quality), click on the view all button in the trip photo album above.
Day 1 is the easy entry. Travel day. The only comments I can muster about travel day are.....the flight is too long, the seats are too small, team VT gets real tired (code word for crabby)........but we do it anyway for the adventure of a lifetime.
The flight took us around 14 to 16 hours with our layover in Philly. It was a very long day. The first flight was okay seat and leg room wise. The flight between Philly and Madrid made P look like he was in a sardine can. We watched around 4 movies so the flight went by pretty quickly.
Customs at the airport didn't take too long either even though about 150 people got in the same time as us.

Useful machine which does most of what I want satisfactorily. However, the fax function is a bit troublesome. If you are slow to get to the phone, it will try to pick up the call and sends the response blast down the line - it persists in doing this, even though it may be an ordinary voice call. This is most irritating, especially if one isn't near the printer to be able to tur

Mrs. Myers liqui hand saver Lavender
I have always wanted to try this product
And when Vitacost had it I bought it
It sure smells like the scent of Lavender
May 31, 2013
Great Product
I use Mrs. Meyer's liquid lavender soap, because it has a lovely scent and doesn't dry my skin.
May 3, 2013
Lavender? Not!
I love the way Mrs. Meyer's hand soap cleans and that it's not antibiotic! Especially liked the Geranium scent and like scents of lavender, but Mrs. Meyer's Lavender scent is horrible. I'm very familiar with lavender fragrance, this is NOT it. Going back to Geranium scent. Two star because I like the brand but I do not recommend lavender until they refine the formula.
April 27, 2013
Scent is too strong
I will not buy this soap again, as the scent was too strong. I've tried other scents from the same brand and they were delightful.
October 15, 2012
paraben free
great product/great price
very strong lavender scent/nice lather
I love that its more natural and paraben free
Great price!

Take the ultimate insider with Jurys Inn Edinburgh's virtual tour.
Edinburgh is bursting with things to do, places to see, and festivals to get stuck in with! Take a look below to learn more about our top attractions or explore our full Edinburgh City Guide.
It is sometimes mistaken that the Edinburgh Festival is just one festival. It is instead a series of arts and cultural festivals that take place in Edinburgh during the summer every year. The festivals attract massive audiences from all around the world, most of whom class the whole event as the world's largest cultural festival.
The Edinburgh Festival dates back to 1947 when the Edinburgh International Festival (EIF) was founded to promote peace in the years following World War II. That year, eight theatrical companies "gatecrashed" the international festival by organising their own event, which became the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (EFF), also called the Edinburgh Fringe, or the Fringe. The EIF and the Fringe are separate organisations, each running different programmes in the summer. However, their running dates overlap, making Edinburgh a top UK summer destination buzzing with culture, excitement and mind-blowing entertainment.
A huge fortress that dominates the Edinburgh skyline, Edinburgh Castle has stood since the 12th century and is the city's oldest surviving building. Explore the castle's history from the monarchs to the military base and discover the exciting story Edinburgh Castle has to tell.
The castle is open 9.30am -6pm in summer and 9.30am -5pm in winter and tickets cost £16.00 for adults and £9.60 for children. Edinburgh Castle is one of Scotland's most popular tourist attractions seeing over 1 million visitors per year and it is less than 15 minutes' walk from our Edinburgh hotel!
Scotland has an extremely rich history, so where better to learn more about it than the National Museum of Scotland? Featuring galleries and artefacts from hundreds of years of history, you're guaranteed to have a fascinating experience discovering Scottish heritage, standing in awe of the natural world, learning about the artefacts that inspired Disney Pixar's Brave, and immersing yourself in world cultures.
The Museum is open 10am -5pm daily with free admission and is only a 12 minute walk from Jurys Inn Edinburgh.

Ourimbah library redevelopment creates a 'buzz'
Those of you who've had the chance to check out the Ourimbah library redevelopment wouldn't be surprised to learn that it's created a new vibrancy and excitement to the Central Coast learning experience.
Senior Librarian, Catherine Moffatt, says that the new spaces and facilities have changed the way students study and socialise.
"There's a new buzz in the library. Students are connecting, relaxing, studying, hanging out," Catherine said.
The enthusiasm for 'hanging out' in this state-of-the-art facility reflects the changing nature of libraries and how they meet the needs of their communities.
The Ourimbah redevelopment has done this by providing the following new features:
- Five new group study rooms with access to computers and screens
- Eighty-eight additional computers, printers and scanning facilities, and wireless and power connections for laptops and other devices
- A new self service desk offering 24 hour support from library staff, and the student 'Rover' service that provides peer-assisted library and basic IT support
- A cafe, lounge, parent's room and outdoor meeting spaces
It's well worth dropping-in and seeing for yourself the fresh and spacious design, not to mention the look on students' faces as they enter.
Fatu Kigbo, Ourimbah library manager, says that "the vibrancy and excitement" of the students makes all the effort of redevelopment worthwhile.

936: Password Strength
[edit] Explanation
Computer security consultant Mark Burnett has posted a discussion and analysis of this comic on his blog.
This comic is saying that the password in the top frames "Tr0ub4dor&3" is easier for password cracking software to guess because it's shorter in length than "correcthorsebatterystaple" and also more difficult for a human to remember, leading to insecure practices like writing the password down on a post-it attached to the monitor (Tr0ub4dor&3).
It is absolutely true that people make passwords hard to remember because they think they are "safer", and it is certainly true that length, all other things being equal, tends to make for very strong passwords and this can confirmed by using rumkin.com's password strength checker. Even if the individual characters are all limited to [a-z], the exponent implied in "we added another lowercase character, so multiply by 26 again" tends to dominate the results.
In addition to being easier to remember, and long strings of lowercase characters are also easier to type on smartphones and soft keyboards.
xkcd's entropy estimate of 11 bits per word assumes that the password is being brute-forced with a dictionary attack, and that the words are being chosen from a dictionary of 2000 words (log2(2000) ≈ 11). For comparison, the entropy offered by Diceware's 7776 word dictionary is 13 bits per word. If a dictionary attack were not used, the "common words" password would take even longer to crack than depicted. 25 random lowercase characters would have 117 bits of entropy, vs 44 bits for the dictionary words.
Steve Gibson from the Security Now podcast did a lot of work in this arena and found that the password D0g.....................
(24 characters long) is stronger than PrXyc.N(n4k77#L!eVdAfp9
(23 characters long) because both have at least one uppercase letter, lowercase letter, number, and "special" character, so length trumps perceived complexity. Steve Gibson makes this very clear in his password haystack reference guide and tester:
- "Once an exhaustive password search begins, the most important factor is password length!"
The important thing to take away from this comic is that longer passwords are better because each additional character adds much more time to the breaking of the password. That's what Randall is trying to get through here. Complexity does not matter unless you have length in passwords. Complexity is more difficult for humans to remember, but length is not.
[edit] Transcript
- The comic illustrates the relative strength of passwords assuming basic knowledge of the system used to generate them.
- A set of boxes is used to indicate how many bits of entropy a section of the password provides.
- The comic is laid out with 6 panels arranged in a 3x2 grid.
- On each row, the first panel explains the breakdown of a password, the second panel shows how long it would take for a computer to guess, and the third panel provides an example scene showing someone trying to remember the password.
- [The password "Tr0ub4dor&3" is shown in the center of the panel. A line from each annotation indicates the word section the comment applies to.]
- Uncommon (non-gibberish) base word
- [Highlighting the base word - 16 bits of entropy.]
- Caps?
- [Highlighting the first letter - 1 bit of entropy.]
- Common Substitutions
- [Highlighting the letters 'a' (substituted by '4') and both 'o's (the first of which is substituted by '0') - 3 bits of entropy.]
- Punctuation
- [Highlighting the symbol appended to the word - 4 bits of entropy.]
- Numeral
- [Highlighting the number appended to the word - 3 bits of entropy.]
- Order unknown
- [Highlighting the appended characters - 1 bit of entropy.]
- (You can add a few more bits to account for the fact that this is only one of a few common formats.)
- ~28 bits of entropy
- 228 = 3 days at 1000 guesses sec
- (Plausible attack on a weak remote web service. Yes, cracking a stolen hash is faster, but it's not what the average user should worry about.)
- Difficulty to guess: Easy.
- [Cueball stands scratching his head trying to remember the password.]
- Cueball: Was it trombone? No, Troubador. And one of the O's was a zero?
- Cueball: And there was some symbol...
- Difficulty to remember: Hard.
- [The passphrase "correct horse battery staple" is shown in the center of the panel.]
- Four random common words {Each word has 11 bits of entropy.}
- ~44 bits of entropy
- 244 = 550 years at 1000 guesses sec
- Difficulty to guess: Hard.
- [Cueball is thinking, in his thought bubble a horse is standing to one side talking to an off-screen observer. An arrow points to a staple attached to the side of a battery.]
- Horse: That's a battery staple.
- Observer: Correct!
- Difficulty to remember: You've already memorized it
- Through 20 years of effort, we've successfully trained everyone to use passwords that are hard for humans to remember, but easy for computers to guess.
[edit] External links
- Some info was used from the highest voted answer given to the question of "how accurate is this XKCD comic" at StackExchange [1].
- Similarly, a question of "how right this comic is" was made at AskMetaFilter [2] and Randall responded there.
- Also the Wikipedia article on 'Passphrase' is useful.
- In case you missed it in the explanation, GRC's Steve Gibson has a fantastic page [3] about this (and may have prompted this comic, as his podcast [4] about this was posted the month before this comic).
You still have to vary the words with a bit of capitalization, punctuation and numbers a bit, or hackers can just run a dictionary attack against your string of four words. Davidy²²[talk] 09:12, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
No you don't. Hackers cannot run a dictionary attack against a string of four randomly picked words. Look at the number of bits displayed in the image: 11 bits for each word. That means he's assuming a dictionary of 2048 words, from which each word is picked randomly. The assumption is that the cracker knows your password scheme. 188.8.131.52 20:17, 28 April 2013 (UTC) Willem
Sometimes this is not possible. (I'm looking at you, local banks with 8-12 character passwords and PayPal) If I can, I use a full sentence. A compound sentence for the important stuff. This adds the capitalization, punctuation and possibly the use of numbers while it's even easier to remember then Randall's scheme. I think it might help against the keyloggers too, if your browser/application autofills the username filed, because you password doesn't stand out from the feed with being gibberish. 18.104.22.168 09:01, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
The basic concept can be adapted to limited-length passwords easily enough: memorize a phrase and use the first letter of each word. It'll require about a dozen words (you're only getting 4.7 bits per letter at best, actually less because first letters of words are not truly random, though they are weakly if at all correlated with their neighbors -- based on the frequencies of first letters of words in English, and assuming no correlation between each first letter and the next, I calculate about 4 bits per character of Shannon entropy). SteveMB 18:35, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
Followup: The results of extracting the first letters of words in sample texts (the Project Gutenberg texts of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The War of the Worlds, and Little Fuzzy) and applying a Shannon entropy calculation were 4.07 bits per letter (i.e. first letter in word) and 8.08 bits per digraph (i.e. first letters in two consecutive words). These results suggest that first-letter-of-phrase passwords have approximately 4 bits per letter of entropy. --SteveMB (talk) 14:21, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Addendum: The above test was case-insensitive (all letters converted to lowercase before feeding them to the [frequency counter]). Thus, true-random use of uppercase and lowercase would have 5 bits per letter of entropy, and any variation in case (e.g. preserving the case of the original first letter) would fall between 4 and 5 bits per letter. --SteveMB (talk) 14:28, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
I just have RANDOM.ORG print me ten pages of 8-character passwords and tape it to the wall, then highlight some of them and use others (say two down and to the right or similar) for my passwords, maybe a given line a line a little jumbled for more security. 220.127.116.11 13:27, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
- Remind me to visit your office and secretly replace your wall-lists by a list of very similar looking strings ;) --Chtz (talk) 13:53, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Simple.com (online banking site) had the following on it's registration page:
"Passphrase? Yes. Passphrases are easier to remember and more secure than traditional passwords. For example, try a group of words with spaces in between, or a sentence you know you'll remember. "correct horse battery staple" is a better passphrase than r0b0tz26."
Online security for a banking site has been informed by an online comic. Astounding. 184.108.40.206 21:22, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
The Web service Dropbox has an Easter egg related to this comic on their sign-up page. That page has a password strength indicator (powered by JavaScript) which changes as you type your password. This indicator also shows hints when hovering the mouse cursor over it. Entering "Tr0ub4dor&3" or "Tr0ub4dour&3" as the password causes the password strength indicator to fall to zero, with the hint saying, "Guess again." Entering "correcthorsebatterystaple" as the password also causes the strength indicator to fall to zero, but the hint says, "Whoa there, don't take advice from a webcomic too literally ;)." 22.214.171.124 15:17, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Hot Shoe Shuffle. A stomping good time. (Giveaway)
I can safely say winter is wearing me down. Even on the warmer than usual days. Hibernation is all good and well, but sometimes even I have to admit there is more to life than soft pants, uggs and so bad it's good reality TV.
I'm sure many of you feel the same. Nothing makes me change out of my less than socially acceptable clothing faster than live performances. My love of theatre is no secret, and living in Melbourne means there is always lots on offer. I don't think I will ever get tired of going to the theatre. Even being in a foyer pre-show is something I love. Dance and song warm the heart almost as much as good ducted heating.
When I was offered the chance to see two upcoming shows I jumped at it. Nothing says Ha! Take that winter! Like a night out.
Hot Shoe Shuffle, featuring some of my favourite 1940s songs, including Let's Call The Whole Thing Off, is performed in the tradition of Broadway musicals. It is one of the longest running multi-award winning musicals ever to be produced in Australia.
Stomp began way back in the 90s. Since then it has been encouraging people of all ages to bang on pots, rubbish bins, buckets… pretty much anything that can make a noise.
To say I can't wait pretty much sums it up. Luckily for you I have double passes to each show to give away. I'd say that's just the ticket!
First up: Hot Shoe Shuffle. I have two double passes to see this Broadway style show for Friday 9th August at 8pm at Her Majesty's Theatre, Melbourne. Each double pass is valued at $210
Next up: Stomp! For this fast paced all action, no voice show I have two double passes for Tuesday 20th August, 8pm performance at Comedy Theatre. Valued at $158 for each double pass.
That's eight tickets in total.
The fine print. To be in the running to win a double pass, leave a comment below telling me your perfect night out. Be sure to say which show you would prefer to go to – Hot Shoe Shuffle or Stomp! You will need to be in Melbourne on the dates of the performances. Tickets are for the dates and times specified only. Each winner will receive one double pass. Entries close Wednesday 7th of August at 6pm, at which time comments to this post will close. Winners will be notified by email.
Disclaimer: This giveaway is a partnership with Cavanagh PR. I have been compensated for my time, receiving tickets to each of the shows mentioned in this post.

Hot Shoe Shuffle is on from August 9th at Her Majesty's Theatre Melbourne. Tickets available here.
Stomp! On from 20 to 25 August. 8 Shows Only at Comedy Theatre. Book at Ticketmaster.com.au

Isolation is a dream killer. Sitting alone for too long with an idea is more likely to breed self-doubt than spark an action plan. So before your goal succumbs to inertia, I suggest inviting some friends to what I call an idea party. When you gather people at a party where the goal is making your dream a reality, something amazing happens: A friend of a friend has a contact who can help, your neighbor knows a workaround for what's tripping you up—and suddenly, you're in action.
I've seen so many fantastic plans get traction at idea parties. A woman interested in fashion got instructions on how to work backstage at Fashion Week—and an introduction to a local designer. Someone who couldn't afford to quit her corporate job but dreamed of working with primates met a zoo liaison who invited her to volunteer with spider monkeys on the weekends. A woodcarver who designed harps out of rare wood was upset that her usual supplier in England had run out—until another woman at the party exclaimed that her brother had a stand of the same trees in Australia. To get started with your own idea party, you first need to know exactly what's holding you back. Print this exercise and write your goal in the center of the circle. Maybe it's "Train guide dogs for the blind." Or "Set up an art studio in the garage." Or "Study yoga in India." Now consider your goal and listen to all the "but" excuses your brain frantically lobs in your path. "But I have no idea where to train dogs! But the garage gets terrible light! But I don't know anyone who's ever been to India!" Write these excuses outside the circle. These are the obstacles standing between you and your dream—and an idea party will help you knock them down, one by one. Here's how: 1. Go BroadIdeas flow from unexpected places, so don't worry about crafting a perfectly calibrated guest list or balancing out the lawyers and artists. Invite four or five friends and ask each of them to bring someone. Keep it simple: "I'm having an idea party next week. Want to come?" They'll press for an explanation, but resist. Intrigue is part of the fun. 2. Start by LyingI know ice-breaking games aren't everyone's cup of tea, but don't skip this step. It's important that your guests feel loose and comfortable before they start brainstorming—you don't want anyone holding back. I use an exercise called the Lying Game to help people think creatively. It's simple: Each person, in 15 seconds or less, tells the biggest lie they can conjure about themselves ("I'm an alligator psychologist"; "I'm the prima diva of the Metropolitan Opera"; "I eat pixie dust for dinner") and then explains what they like most about the lie they've told ("Alligators are suspicious, and it warms my heart when they trust me"). Your guests might not realize it, but they'll be revealing something through the lies they share. This will help others feel more trusting around them, even if they can't articulate why. And as the game continues, people will build on one another's suggestions—exactly the interaction you're trying to cultivate. 3. Let the Ideas FlyWhen you're ready to get down to business, have everyone sit in a circle. Explain your goal and the obstacles. For instance, "I want to go to India, but I'd like to talk to someone who's been there first; I don't speak the language; I don't know a good travel agent." Then pick up a pen and get ready to write—you're about to be flooded with ideas. It's important that you not filter responses or discount suggestions—write everything down, to process later. If you think you'll have a hard time with this, ask a friend to be the note-taker. Don't be surprised if guests ping-pong ideas at one another—or call or e-mail days later with new insights. All of it becomes ammunition for you to break down barriers and start living your life to its fullest. Resources To Get You Where You Want To Go From the November 2011 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

The Questel website gives a brief description of a new similarity search feature for FamPat (translated from French using Google Translate):[9]
The Similarity search is a new feature specific to the collection FamPat. It uses some information identifying the domain of a family FamPat to find all the families in the same field...
September 2011
As of September 30, 2011, Patolis no longer provides Orbit.com users with access to their Japanese Legal Status database, Patolis-e. Questel now uses Nomura Research Institute (NRI), subsidiary of Japanese firm Nomura, for Japanese legal status data on Orbit.com.[10]
According to a press release on the Questel website, Questel has acquired Research Disclosure, a subsidiary of Kenneth Mason Publication and a major publisher of defensive publications. The press release states that "50 years of defensive publications are an excellent Non-Patent-Literature source for prior-art needs and will be integrated into Fampat."[11]
January 2011
Questel announces the creation of a new "Patent Data Licensing" Business Unit, which will offer the patent data available on Orbit.com on the public market. Features of the licensed data include:[12]
- Over 60 Million patents compiled from 95 offices
- A fully customizable patent data feed: biblio, abstracts, full text, translations, clipped images, facsimile
- Customers can pick and mix and only pay for what they need
- All data is normalized in XML ST.36
October 2010
Taiwanese Full Text In October 2010, Questel released a collection of full text Taiwanese published patent applications, sourced from the Taiwan Patent and Trademark Office. The searchable full text of these documents is produced by machine-assisted English translation. Native language Chinese full text was available for display only at the time of the release. Taiwanese "A" documents are available from 2010 forward, and a complete back file from 2003-2009 will be completely loaded by the end of the year. Bibliographic information (including abstracts) are available as English human translations for the 2003-2009 time period, and records from 2010 forward will consist fully of machine translated data until human translated biblio/abstract data is available to replace them.
The Taiwan full text data has been added into the FamPat family database, and is searchable alongside the other full text collections available in FamPat. The coverage has been added to each of Questel's major patent search products, and as an alternative may be accessed in the TWFULL file in Qweb and Questel on Imagination.
Korean Claims Questel had previously offered Korean bibliographic data and English abstracts in the FamPat file; machine-translated abstracts for Korean documents are added within 2-3 weeks of publication, and replaced by human translated abstracts as soon as they became available. Now Questel has added an English machine-assisted translation collection of bibliographic information and patent claims for Korean patent documents, sourced from the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO). Coverage includes:
Bibliographic Coverage (in English): KR-A documents from 2000 KR-U documents from 2008 forward KR PCT Applications from 2009 forward
Claims are available in Korean from 2008 forward and English Machine Translations from 2010 forward. The native language Korean data was for display only at the time of this release. A backfile of English Machine translations from 2008 is still being loaded as of October 2010.
The collection is available in the FamPat file.
March 2010
In March of 2010, Questel announced several major enhancements to their data collections. These include:[13]
- A new collection of full text Indian (IN) patent documents has been added back to 2005.
- Canadian (CA) patents in full text will be loaded onto the search platforms as of March 22, 2010. This will augment the current CA patent collection, which previously contained titles, abstracts, and claims.
Furthermore, there have been several recent developments in Questel's coverage that can be summarized here:[13]
- The WO/PCT collection on Questel has been enhanced to include English machine translations of records originally published in non-Latin alphabet languages. English machine translations for PCT applications published in Russian, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean are now available in full text.
- Questel's collection of pre-1973 US patent full text has been "re-OCR'ed" (meaning treated again with Optical Character Recognition software), to improve its quality.
February 2010
Questel announces a partnership with Ocean Tomo (the creator of PatentRatings, which supplies the corporate tree data for Orbit.com):[14]
Ocean Tomo, LLC, the Chicago based Intellectual Capital Merchant Banc® firm, and Questel SAS, the well known Intellectual Property Information service provider, announced that they have entered into an agreement that provides Ocean Tomo immediate access to worldwide patent data, supplied by Questel, as part of Ocean Tomo's planned global rollout of Research products, including Ocean Tomo PatentRatings® 2.0 software, the PatentMarking™ notification platform, and OTI.com, which provides global IP market data.
