As crude oil with heavier and/or highly oxidized components prevails, purification technologies such as desulfurization, denitrilization and demetalization have become important issues to control contents of sulfur and other impurities affecting the quality of petroleum. Also, the importance of catalyst technologies related with crude oil purification has been emphasized to control the production and yield of products. In this paper, technology trends of impurity removal such as sulfur, nitrogen and metal components from crude oil and catalysts related with purification of crude oil were studied through patent analysis. The patents published or registered in Korea, U. S. A., Japan, and Europe from mid 1970's to 2009 had been analyzed based on the application tendency, the distribution of major applicants, and their active indices, etc. The technology flow was figured out to see the technology trends.

This paper considers the technological competitiveness of aircraft infra industries that are bases of the aircraft industry development in Korea. We performed focus group interviews to aircraft industry specialists and classified the aircraft infra industries by eight fields: metallurgical assembly, general machinery, precision instruments, materials & parts, communication appliances, computer, semi-conductor/ electronic component, electronics. Through the United States patents analysis for the G7 countries and Korea during 1995-2006, we identified the technological specificities and competences of each country. RTA(Revealed Technology Advantage) index and CII(Current Impact Index) are used to examine the technological specificity and technological competence respectively. Finally, we introduced TCI(Technological Competitiveness Index) which could reflect quantitative level as well as qualitative level of patents for each aircraft infra industry. The results show that Korea has occupied the technological competitiveness in the semi-conductor and electronic component industry out of eight aircraft infra industries, and achieved a competitive edge in communication appliance industry in the mid 2000s.

This paper proposes an R&D opportunity scan framework for information and telecommunications company in aging society. The framework consists of trend analysis, market-oriented search, technology-oriented search, and R&D Portfolio development. We identify technology themes in the market-oriented search by developing market scenarios and analyzing a new business model framework. And then we search prospective technologies in the technology-oriented recess by technology scanning and patent analysis. By matching technology themes with prospective technologies, generate an R&D portfolio. Finally, we evaluate the risk of the proposed R&D portfolio.

Various networks can be observed in the world. Knowledge networks which are closely related with technology and research are especially important because these networks help us understand how knowledge is produced. Therefore, many studies regarding knowledge networks have been conducted. The assortativity coefficient represents the tendency of connections between nodes having a similar property as figures. The relevant characteristics of the assortativity coefficient help us understand how corresponding technologies have evolved in the keyword-based patent network which is considered to be a knowledge network. The relationships of keywords in a knowledge network where a node is depicted as a keyword show the structure of the technology development process. In this paper, we suggest two hypotheses basedon the previous research indicating that there exist core nodes in the keyword network and we conduct assortativity analysis to verify the hypotheses. First, the patents network based on the keyword represents disassortativity over time. Through our assortativity analysis, it is confirmed that the knowledge network shows disassortativity as the network evolves. Second, as the keyword-based patents network becomes disassortavie, clustering coefficients become lower. As the result of this hypothesis, weconfirm the clustering coefficient also becomes lower as the assortative coefficient of the network gets lower. Another interesting result concerning the second hypothesis is that, when the knowledge network is disassorativie, the tendency of decreasing of the clustering coefficient is much higher than when the network is assortative.

This paper analyzed on the relationship between R&D productivity of renewable energy and the Emissions Trading Scheme using OECD's country-specific patents and R & D input data. We empirically tested whether this R & D productivity has been substantially improved before and after the implementation of the emissions trading scheme and whether emission trading scheme has been promoted technology progress of renewable energy. Analytical methods used in this study, Negative Binomial Models which was proposed by Hausman et al. (1984). According to the results of this analysis, the R & D productivity of renewable energy was improved by emissions trading scheme, which was statistically significant at the 99% confidence interval [CI]. The R&D productivity of renewable energy was higher in Annex I countries. This research is significant in that R&D productivity was analyzed in associated with the emission trading scheme rather than it was analyzed by simply comparing R&D productivity.

Nowadays, large amounts of XML documents are available on the Internet. Thus, we need to analyze them multi-dimensionally in the same way as relational data. In this paper, we propose a new frame-work for multidimensional analysis of XML documents, which we call XML-OLAP. We base XML-OLAP on XML warehouses where every fact data as well as dimension data are stored as XML documents. We build XML cubes from XML warehouses. We propose a new multidimensional expression language for XML cubes, which we call XML-MDX. XML-MDX statements target XML cubes and use XQuery expressions to designate the measure data. They specify text mining operators for aggregating text constituting the measure data. We evaluate XML-OLAP by applying it to a U.S. patent XML warehouse. We use XML-MDX queries, which demonstrate that XML-OLAP is effective for multi-dimensionally analyzing the U.S. patents.
