PROJECTS WON 1998 CAS AWARDS FOR S&T PROGRESS AND FOR INVENTIONS

The CAS Awards for S&T Progress and the CAS Awards for Inventions are two major awards issued by the Chinese Academy of Sciences to recognize major research results and inventions produced by CAS scientists that have contributed greatly to the promotion of S&T progress, and social and economic development. In 1998, 12 research works won the CAS Awards for Inventions and 94 works won the CAS Awards for S&T Progress. The following are profiles of some of the prize-wining projects.

Study of Great Chinese Inventions Based on the Concept of Cultural Consciousness

Based on the concept of cultural consciousness, this paper clarifies the misunderstanding of the "Four Great Inventions", then defines the concept of inventions and corresponding grading and rating systems. Numerous senior historians of science and technology were invited to review the great Chinese inventions before the book The Thirty Great Chinese Inventions was finally compiled and published. This paper also points out that the Chinese themselves must clearly understand things concerning China and China must have a say over the issue of inventions. The scientific spirit of deriving truth from facts must be rigorously upheld during the study and rating of great inventions.

CNIPA and JPO Finish Report of Comparative Study on Al-Related Inventions

In recent years,there have been rapid technological advances in the area of“Al-related inventions”which have resulted in significant increases in Al-related patent applications.The China National Intellectual Property Administration(CNIPA)and the Japan Patent Office(JPO)have jointly conducted a comparative study on Alrelated inventions and finished the related report,with the aim of providing applicants with insights into Al-related examination criteria and practices.

Anti-oxidative stress treatment and current clinical trials

Oxidative stress disturbs the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species(ROS)and the detoxification biological process.It plays an important role in the development and progression of many chronic diseases.Upon exposure to oxidative stress or the inducers of ROS,the cellular nucleus undergoes some biological processes via different signaling pathways,such as stress adaption through the forkhead box O signaling pathway,inflammatory response through the IκB kinase/nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway,hypoxic response via the hypoxia-inducible factor/prolyl hydroxylase domain proteins pathway,DNA repair or apoptosis through the p53 signaling pathway,and antioxidant response through the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1/nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 signaling pathway.These processes are involved in many diseases.Therefore,oxidative stress has gained more attraction as a targeting process for disease treatment.Meanwhile,anti-oxidative stress agents have been widely explored in pre-clinical trials.However,only limited clinical trials are performed to evaluate the efficacy of anti-oxidative stress agents or antioxidants in diseases.In this letter,we further discuss the current clinical trials related to anti-oxidative stress treatment in different diseases.More pre-clinical studies and clinical trials are expected to use anti-oxidative stress strategies as disease treatment or dietary supplementation to improve disease treatment outcomes.

Knowledge Is Invented: Addressing Invention and the Art of Saying in the Psychoanalytic Field

In the Freudian-Lacanian field,there is an important distinction between knowledge and truth.The truth,of an unconscious nature,is something that inhabits us,directs us,but that escapes us.Knowledge,in turn,is something to be invented,from the hole of the Real,the Unconscious truth,and the subjective experience.The relationships between playing,creating,and fantasizing;the dimension of the uncanny,fiction,and imagination in subjectivity;the invention of knowledge of oneself,derived from the pains and flavors of being who one is,are creative dimensions that inhabit the subject,permeate the analytical act,and transversalize psychoanalysis.In the practice,we listen to and witness processes of analysis that awaken an invention/reinvention of oneself,in the process of remembering,repeating,and elaborating,but also in what the transference relationship summons.Knowledge of oneself,does not guarantee a life without mishaps,sadness,and illusions,but allows the invention and recognition of knowledge and a style.The concept of Sinthome(2007),coined by Jacques Lacan,comes in the wake of the processes of self-invention and is a knowing-doing with the symptom,with the paradoxes of joyful suffering,producing,as a result,an art of saying.Therefore,in this communication,I will articulate elements of theory,practice,and psychoanalytic experience that allow us to expand knowledge of the themes of invention and imagination articulated with the concept of sinthome,their relationships with subjectivity,and the direction of psychoanalytic treatment.

Do We Need to Redefine the Top Four Inventions?

China’s traditional top four inventions have taken on a new look. An exhibition recently held at the China Science and Technology Museum in Beijing showed that the old stalwarts of compass, papermak-

Ownership Reform of On-duty Inventions and University Patent Output: Analytical Model and Empirical Evidence

Based on a literature review,this article reveals the inconsistency in the ownership structure reform measures of on-duty inventions,a policy attempt to stimulate patent output and commercialization.It also proposes an analytical model to address the impact of intellectual property ownership structure on patent productivity.A total of 20 universities with two different kinds of intellectual property ownership structures in Sichuan Province of China are selected for this study.They are divided into two groups:"pilot group"and"control group".The quantitative statistics and comparison of development trends and changes in the number,structure,technical fields,transfer and quality of invention patents are conducted,showing the development status of university patents before and after the ownership reform,and verifying the impact of the ownership structure of on-duty inventions on stimulating patent output.For a deep understanding of the situation,Southwest Jiaotong University is taken as a typical case for the study,which illustrates that after the implementation of the ownership reform,the number of disclosures of patent achievements of university on-duty inventions has increased,and the patent transformation in universities has undergone positive changes,but the positive changes in patent quality between universities are not obvious in the short term.In addition,this article puts forward countermeasures and suggestions for further optimization of the reform,with a view to achieve the staged evaluation of the reform and guiding practice.Finally,the article endeavors to provide academic peers with Chinese policy experiments and data regarding the impact of intellectual property ownership structure on invention output.
