  • Technological forecasting of hydrogen storage materials using patent indicators

    Hydrogen is a promising future energy carrier due to its high energetic content and sustainable appeal when produced via clean manufacturing processes. One of the technological challenges concerns its storage in a safe, compact, low mass and high gravimetric capacity manner. In this sense, many Hydrogen Storage Materials (HSM) have been investigated to house this…

  • Collaboration in science and technology organizations of the public sector: A network perspective

    Engaging in collaborative networks can be an important facilitator of innovation for public sector science and technology (S&T) organizations. It is also an important component of S&T policies that require indicators that can assess the networks through which these organizations innovate. In this study, we apply network indicators to two S&T organizations that are part…

  • Monitoring emerging technologies for technology planning using technical keyword based analysis from patent data

    This paper proposes technical keyword-based analysis of patents to monitor emerging technologies, and uses a keyword-based model in contents-based patent analysis. This study also presents methods to automatically select keywords and to identify the relatedness among them. After using text-mining tools and techniques to identify technical keywords, a technical keyword-context matrix is constructed. The relatedness…

  • Research topics and implementation trends on automotive head-up display systems

    For about 5 years, production of automobiles equipped with head-up display (HUD) systems has continuously grown and this trend will remain for at least three years more from 2014 [7, 19]. Therefore, looking for clarifying how to orientate future efforts in developing these systems, a systematic analysis approach has been implemented for identifying best design…
