De minimis exception when using applied art in marketing materials

1. In order to prove a copyright exception not contemplated in the Act but based on long-standing practice the defendant must show strong evidence that goes beyond a usual practice in the business.2. The use of a copyright-protected work even in a commercial or marketing context can be of such secondary importance that – notwithstanding that the rights holder has not permitted the use – it would nThe present article grapples with the concept of de minimis in European copyright law in light of the ruling by the Danish Supreme Court in Würtz v Coop Denmark. The article begins with a brief background of the case. The second section delves into the concept of de minimis and its origins and framing in European copyright law. The third section compares the concept to US legislation and case law

Case Translation “Würtz v. Coop” - Decision of the Danish Supreme Court 18 December 2018 – Case No. 171/2017

According to Sec. 23(3), of the Danish Copyright Act copies of works of art which have been transferred to others by the author, may be used in newspapers, periodicals, films and TV, when the use is of subordinate purpose in the said context. The use of a work of art, here in the form of applied art, by reproduction on packaging for foods and supermarket leaflets from convenience stores falls outs

Persistence Pays : Diagnosing Tuberculous Meningitis after 11 Negative Polymerase Chain Reaction Evaluations

Managing tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is challenging because of its poor prognosis and the difficulty in making an early diagnosis due to the low sensitivity of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) evaluations. A 75-year-old woman presented with fatigue and multiple enlarged lymph nodes and was initially suspected of having metastatic cancer of unknown primary origin. Differen

Building a Distributed Computing System for LDMX : Challenges of creating and operating a lightweight e-infrastructure for small-to-medium size accelerator experiments

Particle physics experiments rely extensively on computing and data services, making e-infrastructure an integral part of the research collaboration. Constructing and operating distributed computing can however be challenging for a smaller-scale collaboration.The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a planned small-scale accelerator-based experiment to search for dark matter in the sub-GeV mass

Intergenerational altruism and climate policy preferences

Climate mitigation constitutes an intergenerational moral dilemma; the decisions we make today will inevitably shape the prospects for generations to come. Yet, we still know little about the relationship between intergenerational altruism (IGA)—our concerns for the well-being of future generations—and support for costly climate mitigation policies. In this study, we present an approach to measuri

Government ideology and labour policy reform in good times and bad

Which governments implement interventionist or liberalising labour policy reforms, and does the economic context matter? Drawing on the previous literature on government ideology and public policy, we hypothesise that leftist governments are more likely to implement interventionist labour policies. However, we also expect that economic circumstances influence parties’ room to manoeuvre, and we thu

Identification, Characterization, and Antibacterial Evaluation of Five Endophytic Fungi from Psychotria poeppigiana Müll. Arg., an Amazon Plant

Endophytic fungi, residing within plants without causing disease, are known for their ability to produce bioactive metabolites with diverse properties such as antibacterial, antioxidant, and antifungal activities, while also influencing plant defense mechanisms. In this study, five novel endophytic fungi species were isolated from the leaves of Psychotria poeppigiana Müll. Arg., a plant from the R

Design optimisation methodology of a high-speed switched reluctance motor for automotive traction applications

This paper forms part of a broader study on the design and optimisation of a high speed switched reluctance motor (SRM) for hybrid-electrical automotive traction applications. The main focus of this particular paper is to explain the design optimisation methodology followed. Furthermore, the main aim of the motor design is to push the power density of the SRM as high as possible. This leads to num

Thermal Modeling and Analysis of an Alternating Short-Segmented Conductive ERS

The growth of electromobility emphasizes the need for good charging solutions. Electric vehicles can be charged either while standing still (static charging) or while in movement (dynamic charging) by using electric road systems (ERSs). In both cases, significant power levels are used to transfer energy to the vehicles, thus requiring a thermal design that is able to handle the losses generated wh

Thermal management in a high speed switched reluctance machine for traction applications

Thermal design of electric traction machines for high performance HEV drivetrains is a challenging task. Unlike conventional HEV traction machines, these machines are subject to continuous operation at or near their thermal limits during race-track driving, and so thermal management is of paramount importance to the mass and size of the machine. This article presents the main challenges related to

Effects Observed in the Characterization of Soft Magnetic Composite for High Frequency, High Flux Density Applications

This paper forms part of a broader study on the design optimization of a high speed switched reluctance motor for automotive traction applications. Due to the high speed operation and resulting high electrical frequency, it is of extreme importance that the different loss components of this motor are accurately calculated. In this study, several effects are observed that influence the accurate mea

Loss coefficient characterisation for high frequency, high flux density, electrical machine applications

This paper forms part of a broader study on the design of an unconventional, high speed, switched reluctance machine (SRM), for automotive traction applications making use of soft magnetic composite (SMC) material. The aim is to have this machine operate at a fundamental frequency of up to 4 kHz. Another characteristic is that switched reluctance machines tend to be operated in deep saturation a l

Electric safety challenges with a conductive Electric Road System - Chassis potential modeling and measurement -

Conductive Electric Road Systems (ERS) appear as a promising solution for the electrification of transportation, particularly for heavy vehicles and long distance trips, but also for light vehicles. Significant research efforts are currently devoted to the development of conductive ERS systems, with up to 4 pilot test sites with different technologies in operation only in Sweden. This article asse

Experimental validation of a thermal model for high speed switched reluctance machines for traction applications

This article presents the first thermal experiments conducted on a novel cooling concept applied to a high speed switched reluctance machine topology for traction applications. By circulating the coolant in between the coils and the stator poles the winding and the stator iron are virtually thermally decoupled. A test motorette is used to demonstrate the potential of the cooling concept at current

Impacts of vehicle fleet electrification in Sweden-a simulation-based assessment of long-distance trips

Electrifying road transport is seen as one of the key components in decreasing the carbon footprint of the society as a whole. Recent developments in electric drivetrain and battery technology have helped to design vehicles with ranges that make them independent of public charging infrastructure during most sub-urban and commuting trips. Once long-haul trips are planned, however, these vehicles re

Development of a radial flux machine design environment

This paper focuses on the development of a machine design environment for numeric modelling and analysis of radial flux machines. The design environment is based on Matlab/(Octave) environment, which calls numeric field analysis by FEMM/(Opera-2D). The analysis tool is intended for educational purposes; however it has proved to be a powerful research tool especially at early design stages.
