Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aims and scope of the 2017 International Conference on Inventions is to make researchers focus on patent-based research. This Special Issue will also focus on inventions in sensor technology. Sensor-related inventions are a solution to specific technological problems and are an improvement on new processes and new components, which could also achieve a completely unique function or radical breakthrough. However, there is a very thin line between brilliant innovation and absolute failure, as some inventors famously found out, or even face the problem of insufficient funds. Therefore, patent-based research offers a way to provide the ideas and advances of the projects, rapidly, by the successful and practical results of predecessors. We expect the conference to be a platform for successful patent inventors to share their experiences. At the same time, the conference also aims to gather and show high quality papers concerning the discovery of completely unique functions or results, and go further to advance the frontiers of science and extend the standards of excellence established by inventions.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
