IEEE Xplore hosts 30% of the world's technical and engineering literature in computing, electrical engineering, and related technologies. Innovators using Invention Machine Goldfire ® Innovator can now discover IEEE documents, including journal articles and conference proceedings, as part of the software’s concept retrieval process. This will further aid in the innovation process by generating new ideas and solutions from various engineering functions. IEEE’s scientific and technical articles are cited in United States Patent and Trademark Office patents four times as often as the nearest competitor, making IEEE a natural choice for innovators.
“Our clients depend on our technology to further their sustainable innovative agenda,” said James Todhunter, chief technology officer, Invention Machine. “This partnership will allow engineers to tap into IEEE’s vast knowledge-base and further empower them to design quality products that will help drive corporate profitability."
Invention Machine’s innovation software helps enterprises innovate repeatedly, accelerating and sustaining their product innovation process. Its unique semantic technology translates ideas into commercialized products by generating and validating the right ideas the first time - whether it's creating a folding box spring, an engine for NASA or a new printer. With its broad knowledge-base and methodologies, Goldfire Innovator also serves as a virtual subject-matter expert, allowing users to tap into knowledge that is outside their domain of expertise. For example, carpet manufacturer Interface is using Goldfire Innovator to incorporate RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology into their floor tiles.
“IEEE supports scientific and technical professionals and technology that fosters innovation,” said Barbara Lange, staff director, Product Management and Business Development, IEEE. “Access to IEEE content and expertise will allow researchers to retrieve precise concepts that will help them understand and solve problems even faster.”
This collaboration will enable Invention Machine customers to discover relevant content from the IEEE Xplore digital library. New IEEE content will be automatically updated in Goldfire Innovator, ensuring that the software’s knowledge-base is constantly up-to-date. IEEE members and subscribers to IEEE online collections through the digital library can link from Goldfire results to freely access the full text of the subscribed content. Non-subscribers may easily gain access to documents by purchasing an IEEE subscription, becoming an IEEE member or purchasing single articles online.
