Prizes, Patents and the Search for Longitude
M. Diane Burton,Tom Nicholas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors highlight the importance of complementarities between prize and patent-based incentives in the design of innovation inducement contests and show that the propensity to patent was high among marine chronometer inventors.

Technological Dynamism in a Stagnant Sector: Safety at Sea during the Early Industrial Revolution
Morgan Kelly,Cormac Ó Gráda +1 more
TL;DR: This paper found that between 1760 and 1825, the risk of being wrecked for Atlantic shipping fell by one third, and of foundering by two thirds, reflecting improvements in seaworthiness and navigation respectively.
Self-powered Time-Keeping and Time-of-Occurrence Sensing
TL;DR: A novel device that combines the physics of quantum tunneling and floating-gate (FG) structures is proposed for self-powered time-keeping in CMOS process and it does not require external powering during runtime, making it feasible for passive devices and systems.
