Description ▲
According to MIT/NSF: “Invention and innovation represent those aspects of human creativity that have raised the standard of living in much of the world. Prior to 1750, most technologies in use rested on a very narrow base of scientific or technological understanding. Inventions were sporadic and largely unconnected with one another, with chance playing a very large role in their development. After 1750, the scientific revolution, the broadening of technological understanding, the improving information exchange of the day, and no doubt other factors as well led to the first and second industrial revolutions with their sustained outpouring of inventions, innovations, and resulting economic growth. Invention and innovation continue today to be the central driving forces for economic well being.†An invention is a unique or novel device, method, composition or process. It may be an improvement upon a machine or product, or a new process for creating an object or a result. An invention that achieves a completely unique function or result may be a radical breakthrough. Such works are novel and not obvious to others skilled in the same field. Some inventions can be patented. A patent legally protects the intellectual property rights of the inventor and legally recognizes that a claimed invention is actually an invention. The rules and requirements for patenting an invention vary from country to country, and the process of obtaining a patent is often expensive. This word puzzle book showcases 100 inventions in the form of cryptograms. Two partial cipher keys are provided per cryptogram, one in simultaneous equations and one in keyed word. Use both, just one, or none to change the level of difficulty of the puzzle from easy to hard, respectively.
