Background: Protecting intellectual property rights are important and particularly pertinent for inventions which are an outcome of rigorous research and development. While the grant of patents is subject to establishing novelty and inventive step, it further indicates the technological development and helpful for researchers working in the same technical domain. The aim of the present research work is to map the existing work through analysis of patent literature, in the field of Coronaviruses (CoV), particularly COVID-19 (2019-nCoV). CoV is a large family of viruses known to cause illness in human and animals, particularly known for causing respiratory infections as evidenced in earlier times such as in MERS i.e. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome; SRS i.e. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. A recently identified novel-coronavirus has known as COVID-19 which has currently caused pandemic situation across the globe. Objective: To expand analysis of patents related to CoV and 2019-nCoV. Evaluation has been conducted by patenting trends of particular strains of identified CoV diseases by present legal status, main concerned countries via earliest priority years and its assignee types and inventors of identified relevant patents. We analyzed the global patent documents to check the scope of claims along with focuses and trends of the published patent documents for the entire CoV family including 2019- nCoV through the present landscape. Methods: To extract the results, Derwent Innovation database is used by a combination of different key-strings. Approximately 3800 patents were obtained and further scrutinized and analyzed. The present write-up also discusses the recent progress of patent applications in a period of the year 2010 to 2020 (present) along with the recent developments in India for the treatment options for CoV and 2019-nCoV. Results: Present analysis showed that key areas of the inventions have been focused on vaccines and diagnostic kits apart from the composition for treatment of CoV. We also observed that no specific vaccine treatments is available for treatment of 2019-nCov, however, developing novel chemical or biological drugs and kits for early diagnosis, prevention and disease management is the primarily governing topic among the patented inventions. The present study also indicates potential research opportunities for the future, particularly to combat 2019-nCoV. Conclusion: The present paper analyzes the existing patents in the field of Coronaviruses and 2019-nCoV and suggests a way forward for the effective contribution in this upcoming research area. From the trend analysis, it was observed an increase in filing of the overall trend of patent families for a period of 2010 to the current year. This multifaceted analysis of identified patent literature provides an understanding of the focuses on present ongoing research and grey area in terms of the trends of technological innovations in disease management in patients with CoV and 2019-nCoV. Further, the findings and outcome of the present study offer insights for the proposed research and innovation opportunities and provide actionable information in order to facilitate policymakers, academia, research driven institutes and also investors to make better decisions regarding programmed steps for research and development for the diagnosis, treatment and taking preventive measures for CoV and 2019-nCoV. The present article also emphasizes on the need for future development and the role of academia and collaboration with industry for speedy research with a rationale.

The article evaluates science sectors and effectiveness of scientific research in the countries forming the BRICS group, as well as the current state of scientific and technological cooperation among the group members. The science sectors of the countries under consideration differ markedly, while facing similar problems relating to government regulations and external environments. The differences exist in total expenditures on research and development (as a share of GNP), in the scope of governmental funding (large in Russia and India, but small in China), and in the distribution of allocations among various areas and types of R&D activities. China appears to have the most well-adjusted science sector among the BRICS members. It includes not only strong universities but also high-tech companies that invest actively into research and development. The overall impact (inferred from citation indexes) of fundamental and exploratory research performed in BRICS countries remains low. BRICS's scientists prefer to collaborate with their colleagues from the world-leading countries rather than with their fellows from BRICS. Yet, in contrast to the world trend, in all BRICS countries, except Russia, a share of internationally co-authored publications is now decreasing. BRICS members have more similar interests and priorities in technological development, including infrastructural and large technological projects, than in science. Currently, bilateral cooperation in technology prevails, while the projects involving all members of the group still remain at the stage of preliminary evaluation and discussion. Russia cooperates most closely with China and India, including joint projects in such high-priority directions as new materials, photonics, biomedical, space and information technologies. For Russia, cooperation in technological development appears to be of most interest because it can lead not only to introduction of new technologies but also help to create large Russian innovative companies. Development of successful multilateral cooperation in science and technology among the BRICS members is the key for this group, originally formed for geopolitical reasons, to evolve into an effective economic union.

Complete Transformation

À Météo-France, la décennie 1985-1995 a vu une profonde transformation de la prévision numérique du temps (PNT) qui a d'abord conduit au remplacement des modèles de prévision opérationnels Émeraude et Péridot par Arpège et Aladin. Dans la même période, un vaste programme de recherche et de développement a été lancé conjointement avec le CEPMMT concernant l'initialisation des modèles par des techniques d'assimilation de données dites « variationnelles ». Cette période a été aussi marquée par un virage vers beaucoup plus de coopération entre institutions travaillant sur la PNT dans les différents pays européens. Jean-François Geleyn s'est trouvé en première ligne de cette profonde transformation, toujours impliqué dans les décisions stratégiques, mais aussi souvent impliqué comme expert dans les études et développements touchant plusieurs aspects scientifiques. At Météo-France, the 1985-1995 decade was marked by a complete transformation of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) which led first to the replacement of the operational models Émeraude and Péridot by Arpège and Aladin. In the same period, a large research and development programme was initiated jointly with ECMWF on model initialisation through so-called 'variational' assimilation techniques. This period was also marked by an important change towards closer cooperation between the different institutions working on NWP in European countries. Jean-François Geleyn was instrumental in this complete transformation of NWP. He was always involved in the strategic decisions, but also as an expert in the studies and developments on several scientific aspects.

Synopsis The history and development of British Railways' Advanced Passenger Train (APT) are discussed. The technical objectives are considered in the context of their value to commercial and operating performance. Among the technical aspects discussed are dynamics of guidance and suspension, aerodynamics, power and transmission, braking, and lightweight body structures. Highlights of the research and development programme are described, with reference to laboratory and track testing of the experimental train (APT-E) and associated experimental vehicles. The paper concludes with a description of the design of the prototype electric train (APT-P), of which three are currently being constructed for operation on the London/Glasgow route.
