Considering The Reach Of Phelps, Thomas G. Field Jr.
The University of New Hampshire Law Review
[Excerpt] “As the Supreme Court recently confirmed in Quanta Computer, Inc. v. LG Electronics, Inc., patent and copyright owners have limited rights following voluntary transfers of protected goods. Moreover, as discussed at length by the Second Circuit in Platt & Munk Co. v. Republic Graphics, Inc., patent owners‟ rights have long been similarly affected by involuntary transfers. Platt & Munk finds the lack of equivalent copyright rulings remarkable, but does not allow lack of direct precedent to stand in the way of finding that involuntary transferees of copyright-protected goods have the same rights as voluntary transferees.
Initially, the Fourth Circuit, …

The study hypothesizesthat the multi-use of public open spaces is influenced by three significant factors, namelyspecific characteristics of space, urban morphological structure, and users.The research methodology consists of surveying forty-two public open spaces in Chiang MaiCity. The resulting data are then used to conduct matrix analyses and the analysis of urbanmorphological structure using overlay mapping and figure-ground techniques. The studyareas are grouped according to district, function, setting, and management. Subsequentlythree public open spaces, namely …

Train Stations: Iconography, Wayfinding, And The Evolution Of A Type, Tricia Reed Quinn
Train Stations: Iconography, Wayfinding, And The Evolution Of A Type, Tricia Reed Quinn
Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal
The first train stations were built more than 150 years ago. Their floor plans both developed from and were informed by circulation requirements arising from the need to move passengers and trains safely and efficiently. While the prominent route of movement through stations was largely determined by their layout, certain architectural elements appeared in many stations regardless of their plans. Many of these features first appeared in response to functional needs but later acquired symbolic significance, transforming them into railway iconography. The resulting iconography not only helped distinguish train stations from other types of architecture but enhanced the legibility of …
