Geocoding of worldwide patent data
(2019)KOF Working PapersThe dataset provides geographic coordinates for inventor and applicant locations in 18.8 million patent documents spanning over more than 30 years. The geocoded data are further allocated to the corresponding countries, regions and cities. When the address information was missing in the original patent document, we imputed it by using information from subsequent filings in the patent family. The resulting database can be used to study ...Working Paper -

Appliance-level Flexible Scheduling for Socio-technical Smart Grid Optimisation
(2019)arXivParticipation in energy demand response programs requires an active role by users of residential appliances: they contribute flexibility in how they use their appliances as the means to adjust energy consumption and improve Smart Grid reliability. Understanding the collective potential that appliance-level flexibility has on Smart Grid reliability is challenging and complex. Physical characteristics of appliances, usage preferences, habits, ...Working Paper -

Sources of knowledge flow between developed and developing nations
(2019)KOF Working PapersThis paper provides a long-term view on the sources of knowledge flow between developed and developing nations. It relies on patent data to explore three potential sources: R&D collaboration, technology sourcing, and technology transfer. All three sources provide a very consistent message. First, knowledge flows with East Asia, particularly China, are occurring more frequently. Second, knowledge flows are increasingly concentrated in ...Working Paper -

A new system for 3D fish-tracking
(2019)Large-scale laboratory investigations with live-fish, i.e. so-called ethohydraulic tests, are used to understand interactions between the hydraulics of fish protection technologies and fish behaviour and hence to improve the current design of fish passages or develop new technologies. For such laboratory applications, a 3D fish-tracking system was developed. The system consists of vertically submerged cameras synchronously recording to a ...Report
