In 1976 the United States Yacht Racing Union mandated a new handicapping system for offshore sailing yachts. The purpose was to provide equitable racing among yachts of diverse designs, a feature not possible under the existing International Offshore Rule. Making full use of the Pratt Project for sailing yacht research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USYRU evolved the Measurement Handicap System, in which ratings are expressed, not in linear measure as in past rules, but in predicted speeds on various points of sailing and in different wind velocities. The MHS was first used in the 1978 Bermuda Race. A feature of MHS is a set of regulations to require adequate cruising accommodations.

The entrepreneurial universities aim to facilitate practical knowledge to students and industries to foster economic development. Many ideas were put forward to pioneer universities in the United States like Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Stanford, and establish a solid patent policy, technology transfer policy and Liaison between university and industry. The next great change occurred in Western Europe, with most of the universities transforming themselves into institutions supporting entrepreneurs. The last was the tip of the iceberg i.e. newly emerging economies helped these universities to reach their desired goal.
