Polymer science is the study materials made from long chains of small molecules where many polymers occur naturally in life forms.
Call 330.247.2211 Today!Polymers have specific uses dependent on their properties. The property differences are a result of way in which polymers are formed. Hard polymers have strong bonds and links that hold the polymer structure together. Polymerization is the process where the materials combine to form a product which combines to form large molecules. In polymerization, catalysts, heat and pressure are applied to materials for a successful reaction to take place.

Biomedical engineering advances knowledge in engineering, biology and medicine, and improves human health through cross-disciplinary activities that integrate the engineering sciences with the biomedical sciences and clinical practice.
Call 330.247.2211 Today!Generally, biotechnology is essential in pharmaceutical development, health care, agriculture and industrial treatment of crops for non-food uses such as fuels, oils, and consumer goods such as plastics, all of which have advanced the standard of living of the average consumer. As a result, there has been an increased effort to gain proprietary rights over biotechnology, most notably in the form of patent protection.
Biotechnological inventions must comprise patentable subject matter, that have utility, are novel and non-obvious, and the written description must be enabling. Although many biotechnology patent applications seek protection for DNA, genomics, vaccines, drug delivery methods, microbes, cell lines, bioinformatics, tissue generation, microfluidic devices, microarrays, viruses, certain types of microorganisms, and the like.
Biological mechanisms are unpredictable as compared to other technologies that have formed the basis for most patent applications, a heightened enablement/disclosure requirement has been introduced in the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, with new case law that has been recognized and incorporated.

A social network is a social structure made up of individuals (or organizations) called “nodes”, which are tied (connected) by one or more specific types of interdependency.
Call 330.247.2211 Today!
Social networking involves increasing the amount of business or social contacts by making connections through individuals. Social networking has gone on nearly as long as cultures have occurred; the limitless potential of the Internet to encourage such connections is being fully recognized and utilized through Web-based groups recognized for that purpose.
Based on the six degrees of separation theory social networking establishes interconnected personal networks that assist people make contacts that would be good for them to know, but that they would be
unlikely to have met otherwise. In general, you join one of the sites and invite people you know to join as well. Those people ask their contacts to join, and the process repeats for each person. In theory, any individual can make contact through anyone they have a association to any of the people that person has a association to, and so on.
Web sites dedicated to social networking include Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, and Facebook Networks. -

A trademark, trade mark, or trade-mark is a distinctive sign or indicator used by an individual, business organization, or other legal entity to identify that the products or services to consumers with which the trademark appears originate from a unique source, and to distinguish its products or services from those of other entities.
Call 330.247.2211 Today!Are you making a huge mistake of unknowingly working hard to build another companies net worth rather than your business?
Trademarks are the most valuable assets available in business today – it should be a company’s pot of gold. Trademarks let people know what they can expect from a product or service. My strong recommendation is that you own at least one trademark but better yet, many trademarks. Your trademarks should be the most valuable asset in your business over time and especially when you sell your business.
Good Trademarks are like Gold
What do you think when you hear the brands Ralph Lauren, Nautica, or Polo? Clearly, you think of high-end, well-made clothes. When you hear Under Armour Apparel you think of comfortable clothing that is scientifically made to allow material to wick away water. Each name provides a specific image about durability and quality in the consumer’s mind.
All of these successful products and services are almost always built on names that are fanciful. This idea is critical when creating the mark of a trademark; you need to create a fanciful trademark. A majority of the most valuable trademarks are fanciful. In other words, they are inventive and made up of words that embody what your products or services you are going to represent. Big companies know and use this strategy. Companies such as GE, Lockheed Martin, IBM, and Microsoft basically file for thousands of trademarks every year on marks that they can use that have fanciful names, and they continue to pay fees on those marks.
Small businesses have yet to recognize this strategy! Small businesses do not typically apply for fanciful marks. Often, a small business will give their business a typical name, such as “Smith’s Plumbing” or “John’s Plumbing” or “On Time Delivery.” It is difficult to build brand equity into those names because they are “common” names. Those companies are practically throwing their money away by not taking advantage of their name to build brand equity. Think of your name as a potential pot of gold. Every day you, your employees or your business build value into that trademark or the name, adding gold coins to your pot. If you have a non-fanciful name like “Smith’s Plumbing,” you are taking your gold coins and throwing them away; as opposed to putting that money into your pot of gold and building the brand of your product. This loss occurs because no one is going to understand or separate “Smith’s Plumbing” from “Smith’s Donuts” or other common/generic company names.
However, if you think of Under Armour, their symbol is a “U” at the top intersecting with a loop below to form an “A.” The term Under Armour gives people the perception that the items are worn under clothing to protect you like armor. Every time the company prints the words “Under Armour” on a t-shirt or prints the logo, they are accruing investment dollars and “putting those dollars into their pot of gold”; they are building the name of Under Armour (not just using the name). If the company ever wishes to sell the business, their name will likely be the most valuable asset they own.
Marathon Oil is yet another example of building value into a name. Marathon has nothing to do with oil or gas. The term actually has to do with running long distances. So, when you hear Marathon Oil, they are building value because it is a fanciful name.
Returning to the previous example of Under Armour—without the brand that they are building, consumers would not necessarily think of clothing when hearing the company name. They would possibly relate Under Armour to the armor people wore in battle during the Middle Ages. This concept is one of the toughest ideas to understand: The most valuable trademarks will often be those marks that are completely made-up words. Xerox is a perfect example. When the term first came out, people did not even know how to pronounce it. Now, Xerox is worth millions of dollars because it became a strong trademark associated with photocopying and quality. Coca Cola is another example. When Coca Cola was first introduced, the name said nothing about being a beverage. Eventually, consumers began to recognize Coca Cola as a standard that they desired.
Build value into your name. People are generally unaware that names like “Smith’s Plumbing” only gain immediate value due to name association. Believe it or not, the reality is that you want to start with a mark that has no value! Every time you put out a product, hand out a business card, perform a service, etc., you are building value into that brand. When you choose a name that is fanciful, you will get more mileage out of the name in the long run. Your name will allow you to separate yourself from common business names, such as “Smith’s Plumbing” or “John’s Barbershop” or “Don’s Computer Services.” American Fireworks demonstrates this concept. They built their brand in Ohio, but it would be difficult to remember their name if they had not been around for so long and been so well established.
What is the importance of trademarks in terms of search engines? Again, depending on the name you select for your business, you can build value and thus gain business or even lose business in terms of search engines. If the name you select for your business is two words such as “Microtool Works,” people will find all of the other “microtool” terms and all of the “works” terms as they search the Internet. The large amount of results generated could result in potential lost business if the consumer cannot locate your company. However, a more effective name for the tool company is one that was established recently, called “Worx.” By changing the spelling of the name to a more fanciful one, the value and ease of locating the company has just increased. When other people search for “Worx” there are very few names that come up in the listing.
Fancifulness is what you want to have for your business to separate yourself from the other businesses.
Another potential problem is that many people name their business something that is very difficult to differentiate. An example of this is a company called MOMS, which is located in Hudson, Ohio. M.O.M.S. stands for Miracle on Main Street. Their services include printing and other related types of services. They have a good advertising strategy and display their name on large trucks. They have business cards, send out electronic data prices, and have a website. However, the downside is that if you type in that name (MOMS), millions of names come up. If the name were more fanciful, the company would more easily distinguish themselves from other people and businesses.
One last example is a current business called “Vertical Runners.” This is an excellent fanciful name. The name stands out because typically, when you run, you run on a horizontal surface; thus, vertical isn’t normally associated with running. The unusualness of this separates them from other people. The name they have built for themselves should survive and thrive because when people think of “Vertical Runners,” they will think of the unique and high quality products they sell and will not mind spending more money for that product because they “know” they are buying quality.
What small companies should remember is to select a fanciful name that will build value in their product and build their “Pot of Gold”.

Medical imaging is the technique and process used to create images of the human body for clinical purposes or medical science. Call 330.247.2211 Today!Although imaging of removed organs and tissues can be performed for medical reasons, such procedures are not usually referred to as medical imaging, but rather are a part of pathology.
As a discipline and in its widest sense, it is part of biological imaging and incorporates radiology (in the wider sense), nuclear medicine, investigative radiological sciences, endoscopy, (medical) thermography, medical photography and microscopy (e.g. for human pathological investigations).
Measurement and recording techniques which are not primarily designed to produce images, such as electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), electrocardiography (EKG) and others, but which produce data susceptible to be represented as maps (i.e. containing positional information), can be seen as forms of medical imaging.
Up until 2010, 5 billion medical imaging studies had been conducted worldwide. Radiation exposure from medical imaging in 2006 made up about 50% of total ionizing radiation exposure in the United States.
