Highlights
= Highlights - Patents granted for unoriginal inventions if prior art outside of the patent literature missed. - Misses most of free and open source software and hardware - number in millions. - = Open Source Hardware Association - created a certification database - centralized prior art. - Novel tool has a semi-automated way of certification from = MediaWiki - websites. - = OSHWA - certification completed on average in 62.5% less than direct form filling.
Towards open source patents: Semi-automated open hardware certification from MediaWiki websites
= TITLE - Towards = open source patents - Semi-automated = open hardware - certification - from = MediaWiki websites
Executive Summary
= Policy Position Paper = Executive Summary - Changes in science funders’ mandates - have resulted in open access to data, software, and publications. - Research capacity, however, is still unequally distributed worldwide, hindering the impact of these efforts. - To achieve the SDGs, open science policies must shift focus from products to processes and infrastructure, - including access to open source scientific equipment. - - Conventional, black box, proprietary approaches to science hardware - reinforce inequalities in science and slow down innovation everywhere, - while also threatening research capacity strengthening efforts. - Three policy recommendations to promote open science hardware for research capacity strengthening: - incorporating open hardware into existing open science mandates, - incentivizing demand through technology transfer and procurement mechanisms, - promoting the adoption of open hardware in national and regional service centers.

In addition to the improved performance, Big Sur is far more versatile and efficient than the off-the-shelf solutions in our previous generation. While many high-performance computing systems require special cooling and other unique infrastructure to operate, we have optimized these new servers for thermal and power efficiency, allowing us to operate them even in our own free-air cooled, Open Compute standard data centers.
Facebook's Open Compute Project releases open-source hardware designs created with energy efficiency and ease of maintenance as priorities.
lowRISC is producing fully open hardware systems. From the processor core to the development board, our goal is to create a completely open computing eco-system. Our open-source SoC (System-on-a-Chip) designs will be based on the 64-bit RISC-V instruction set architecture. Volume silicon manufacture is planned as is a low-cost development board. There are more details on our plans in these slides from a recent talk lowRISC is a not-for-profit organisation working closely with the University of Cambridge and the open-source community.
Ronja is a free technology project for reliable optical data links with a current range of 1.4km and a communication speed of 10Mbps full duplex. Applications of this wireless networking device include backbone of free, public, and community networks, individual and corporate Internet connectivity, and also home and building security. High reliability and availability linking is possible in combination with WiFi devices. The Twibright Ronja datalink can network neighbouring houses with cross-street ethernet access, solve the last mile problem for ISP’s, or provide a link layer for fast neighbourhood mesh networks.
Hwacha project: (hopefully open) vector coprocessor for RISC-V.
RISC-V: free and open instruction set architecture (ISA). including "rocket chip" cpu reference implementation.
