  +Patenting in Biotechnology,patenting-bio-ipr,https://coursera.org/learn/patenting-bio-ipr,Life Sciences,"Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Copenhagen Business School","Far too often, researchers are misinformed about the role and the possibilities arising around patents and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). In this course we will teach you what IPR are - with a special focus on patents. Also this course will look at the importance of patents in the world of biotechnology - and what you actually can patent.
  +
  +Should your research be protected? Can your research even be protected? 
  +There are a lot of misunderstandings about patents, so first step is to know what patents really are and how they work. Then we will introduce how and when to apply for them. Also how to find existing patents is a crucial and necessary element to being able to assess whether your research should be protected or not.
  +
  +The course will be divided in 7 sessions, and at the end of the course, you should be able to:
  +- describe the different types of IPR
  +- explain the conditions of patentability for an invention
  +- describe the various stages involved in a patent application
  +- search and retrieve patent information from databases
  +- read and understand a patent
  +- write claims related to biotechnology
  +- understand and explain the concept of Freedom To Operate

  Kinematics: Describing the Motions of Spacecraft,spacecraft-dynamics-kinematics,https://coursera.org/learn/spacecraft-dynamics-kinematics,Physical Science and Engineering,University of Colorado Boulder,"The movement of bodies in space (like spacecraft, satellites, and space stations) must be predicted and controlled with precision in order to ensure safety and efficacy. Kinematics is a field that develops descriptions and predictions of the motion of these bodies in 3D space. This course in Kinematics covers four major topic areas: an introduction to particle kinematics, a deep dive into rigid body kinematics in two parts (starting with classic descriptions of motion using the directional cosine matrix and Euler angles, and concluding with a review of modern descriptors like quaternions and Classical and Modified Rodrigues parameters). The course ends with a look at static attitude determination, using modern algorithms to predict and execute relative orientations of bodies in space.
  
  After this course, you will be able to...
  
  * Differentiate a vector as seen by another rotating frame and derive frame dependent velocity and acceleration vectors
  * Apply the Transport Theorem to solve kinematic particle problems and translate between various sets of attitude descriptions
  * Add and subtract relative attitude descriptions and integrate those descriptions numerically to predict orientations over time
