English to Chinese: A First Book of ANSI C Fourth Edition
Source text - English Preface
As with its predecessors, the primary purpose of this edition of A First Book of ANSI C is to make C accessible as an applications programming language. The success of past editions, and the many comments I have recieved from both students and faculty stating that the book really did help them learn and teach C, have been extremely gratifying. Thus, the goal of this fourth edition remains the same as the first three editions: to present all topics clearly, unambiguously, and accessibly to beginning students. This text can be used as an introduction to programming in general, as an introduction to the C language in particular, and as a basis for further study of the C language.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
Primary Routes of Exposure: Inhalation of processing emissions during periods of elevated temperature.
Eye: Vapors or fumes emitted during processes involving elevated temperatures may cause eye irritation. Dust resulting from the handling of powder may be irritating to the eyes.
Skin Contact: Vapors or fumes emitted during processes involving elevated temperatures may cause skin irritation. Dust resulting from the handling of powder may be irritating to the skin.
Skin Absorption: This material is initially a dry solid pellet; no absorption is likely to occur in its initial form. Vapors or fumes emitted during processes involving elevated temperatures may absorb through the skin at low levels.
Ingestion: Slightly toxic by ingestion. Dust may become airborne during handling, resulting in the potential for incidental ingestion. Vapors or fumes emitted during processes involving elevated temperature may be ingested at low levels. Adequate ventilation should be provided.
Inhalation: Dust may become airborne during handling, resulting in potential inhalation exposure. Vapors or fumes emitted during processes involving elevated temperatures may be inhaled if not adequately ventilated.

English to Chinese: Intellectual Property Litigation (excerpt) General field: Law/Patents Detailed field: Patents
Source text - English Translated by He Jiming
The freedom to operate, the concept of "patent peace" and the practice of broad cross licenses
For companies in the telecommunications industry, patents fulfill very different functions. This industry, and other similar industries such as that for semiconductors, is characterised by large numbers of patent rights, which may be overlapping, and a patent landscape that involves multi-functional products containing a multitude of components, each potentially covered by numerous other patents. Companies can require access to tens, hundreds, or even thousands of patents to produce a single telecommunications product. Many of these patents overlap, creating what can be described as a "patent thicket". This patent thicket can be de¬scribed as a dense web of overlapping intellectual property rights that a company must hack its way through in order to actually commercialise new technology.
The patent thicket is especially hazardous when combined with the risk that new products may be alleged to infringe patents that have not even been issued after such products were designed and launched on the market. It has been estimated that the R&D cycle for an average smartphone (that is, the period from when development for a new smartphone commenced to the date of its commercial launch) can be around 13 months. Patent applications, however, remain confidential for at least 18 months following filing. It is therefore an inevitable consequence of the patent system that patents and patent applications may become public after a certain product has been designed. During this confidentiality period, the contents of the patent application and information relating to the claimed invention are unknown to all except the patent applicant and the relevant patent authorities.
Given the existing patent thicket, it is thus highly likely that a new smartphone could be alleged to be covered by many patents, some of which were not even previously published. It is also commercially and practically impossible to design and launch a new smartphone that circumvents all published non-essential patents that could be asserted. It is also commercially and practically impossible to design and launch a new smartphone that circumvents all standards non-essential patents. It is first of all commercially impossible not to use other parties' standards non-essential patents. It is furthermore practically impossible to make sure that a product does not make use of other parties' standards non-essential patents. Moreover, it is not commercially viable to generally design around other parties' standards non-essential patents.
This need for freedom to operate in a highly competitive, technology-rich market characterized by the patent thicket explains the portfolio-wide cross licensing practices in the telecommunications industry where the market participants use their patent portfolios as a negotiation tool to create freedom for their products in the market. This practice to entering into broad cross licenses covers both standards essential patents and standards non-essential patents.
This practice existed as early as in the 1980s, as is evidenced by the semiconductor, or computer chip, industry. Many telecommunications companies adopted the practices of the semi-conductor industry when the telecommunications market began to evolve significantly in the 1990s. The telecommunications industry shares characteristics with the semiconductor industry.
