Selected Papers from the 2017 International Conference on Inventions
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The 2017 International Conference on Inventions (ICI conference) aims to make researchers focus on patent-based research. The invention process is a process within an overall engineering and product-development process. It may be an improvement on a machine or product, or a new process for creating an object or a result. Such works are novel and not obvious to others skilled in the same field. ICI conference aims to gather and show high-quality papers concerning the discovery of completely unique functions or results, and going further to advance the frontiers of science and extend the standards of excellence established by inventions to readers. High quality paper will be recommended to the Special Issue "Selected Papers from the 2017 International Conference on Inventions" in Applied Sciences.
