Promoting and Assessing Value Creation in Networks: A conceptual framework

there are three pieces of a CoP

the evaluation framework is able to assess the value of each piece

Modern education is a typical effort that people are trying to make a product line of high-quality mind asset.

Without explicit, formal presentation of mind asset, we cannot efficiently connect and compose varied mind asset and we cannot well measure the value of mind asset. The issue of mind aggregation is particularly critical because individual mind is often too shallow to be high quality.

There is a natural gap between the presented value of the mind asset in the book and the real value of the mind asset in real world. This gap of knowledge understanding is a typical difficulty of mind asset measurement.

MicroStrain offers a range of miniature displacement sensors.  These include contact sensors, non-contact sensors, and signal conditioners. Within our contact sensors, we offer gauging, non-gauging, sub-miniature (very small) and micro-miniature (smallest available on the market) displacement sensor designs.  MicroStrain displacement/position sensors are known as DVRTs (Differential Variable Reluctance Transducers) which are half-bridge LVDTs (Linear Variable Differential Transformers).  Our DVRTs deliver a very high linear stroke range to body length ratio, and can be used in environments where traditional LVDTs are too large.  MicroStrain’s miniature displacement transducers are extremely robust, capable of operating at temperatures up to 175°C in corrosive media such as saline, oil, and brake fluid.  The near frictionless design enables sensors to operate over millions of cycles without wear or degradation in signal quality.

MicroStrain’s displacement sensing products including transducers, signal conditioners, and motherboards. These systems provide highly precise measurement solutions. MicroStrain’s contact displacement transducers deliver highly precise linear measurements with an extremely small, miniature design.  Both gauging and non-gauging displacement transducers are available. Our non-contact displacement transducers are designed to measure the displacement and proximity of a metal target without physical contact. MicroStrain offers wireless, analog, and digital output DVRT signal conditioners. Signal conditioners are required for use with MicroStrain DVRT displacement sensors.   .familyNav1, .familyNav2, .familyNav3, .familyNav4 { background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #CCCCCC; color: #FFFFFF; display: block; font-size: 14px; margin: 1px 0; padding: 6px 0 3px 6px; text-decoration: none; } .familyNav1:hover, .familyNav2:hover, .familyNav3:hover, .familyNav4:hover { opacity:1.0; filter:alpha(opacity=100); } .familyNav1:hover, .familyNav1.live { background:#0468AD; } .familyNav2:hover, .familyNav2.live{ background:#32641E; } .familyNav3:hover, .familyNav3.live{ background:#B55A11; } .familyNav4:hover, .familyNav4.live{ background:#76285D; } .familySub { margin: -1px 0 0; opacity:0.7; filter:alpha(opacity=80); font-size:12px; } .familySub img { width: 22px; } WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS

competitive and innovative

My takeaway lesson was that the safest strategy was to divulge my results only after they were accepted for publication. And I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. Science is too often a cutthroat venture, with publications as the currency for measuring one’s success. But with everyone keeping their findings secret until they have been approved by the peer-review process, aren’t we slowing the course of scientific discovery?

Scientists have failed to establish clear mores for crediting discoveries

Many believe that false attribution is actually increasing in frequency, likely motivated by the steady decrease in grant-funding rates.

a new buzzword making waves throughout the financial industry: “distributed ledger.”

Some say it's a tool to enable transparency by ensuring that all members of a group receive cryptographically secured messages about participants’ activities

Some are even bold enough to predict that distributed ledgers will end the madness of managing multiple database and reconciliation structures.

Smart card

There are two types of smart cards: contact and contactless. Both have an embedded microprocessor and memory. The smart card differs from the proximity card in that the microchip in the proximity card has only one function: to provide the reader with the card's identification number. The processor on the smart card has an embedded operating system and can handle multiple applications such as a cash card, a pre-paid membership card, or an access control card.

A contactless card does not have to touch the reader or even be taken out of a wallet or purse. Most access control systems only read serial numbers of contactless smart cards and do not utilize the available memory. Card memory may be used for storing biometric data (i.e. fingerprint template) of a user. In such case a biometric reader first reads the template on the card and then compares it to the finger (hand, eye, etc.) presented by the user. In this way biometric data of users does not have to be distributed and stored in the memory of controllers or readers, which simplifies the system and reduces memory requirements.

we know that we have an industrial revolution going on

The internet in short.

allows us to do new things and also to do old things differently

“commons law” (not to be confused with common law)

Commons law consists of those social practices, cultural traditions and specific bodies of formal law that recognize the rights of commoners to manage their own resources

Ever since the rise of the nation-state and especially industrialized markets, however, commons law has been marginalized if not eclipsed by contemporary forms of market-based law

‘authority models’in peer production, contrasts owner-centric authority models from free-form models

define the authority models at work in such projects. The models define access and the workflow, and whether there is any quality control.

the owner-centric model, entries can only be modified with the permission of a specific ‘owner’ who has to defend the integrity of his module.

Collaboration happens around some kind of plan or structure

cooperation presumes the freedom of individuals to join and participate

Cooperation is a driver of creativity

The collaborative economy, driven by a convergence of numerous factors including the global economic recession, growing environmental consciousness and the growing ubiquity of information communication technologies (ICTs) is booming, with more than $2 billion in investment raised from venture capitalists 5  and $3.5 billion generated for users in P2P models in 2013. 6
