CA/CAplus enhanced with new custom IPC display formats

Two new custom display formats for International Patent Classification (IPC) codes have been added to CA/CAplus:

  • IPC.UNIQ displays a set of unique IPC codes for a basic patent and equivalents (if any)
  • IPC.HIT displays IPC codes matching those specified in the search query

IPC.UNIQ may be used for a more compact display of IPC information.  The CLASS and IPC.TAB formats are available for more extensive IPC information, including IPC metadata.  IPC.HIT may be used to quickly determine why a specific record has been retrieved with a complex search strategy.

Examples:

=> D IPC.UNIQ

ICSD reloaded with enhancements

The Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) has been reloaded and now includes more than 100,000 records.  In addition, ICSD has been enhanced with a Crystallographic Information File (CIF) display format and download option for seamless integration of ICSD data into third-party applications.

ICSD is a comprehensive collection of crystallographic and bibliographic data on inorganic crystal structures.  Coverage includes crystalline inorganic materials that have been structurally determined from 1913 to the present.  ICSD is updated twice per year.

An ICSD information sheet is available from FIZ Karlsruhe at:
