Scientific and educational editions

Guarding documents

Conducting of works on legal protection in Ukraine and behind its boundaries of results of scientific researches and workings out, entry into the market of intellectual property, integration of scientific workings out of university into the world economy, and also – formation of a complete scientific picture of the world and modern outlook of the youth, development of abilities and skills of independent scientific learning and ability to creative activities are the basic tasks.

In the conditions of modern innovative development objects of intellectual property right serve as the main motive power of social production. The very intellectual activity and its achievements now define strategy and tactics of social and economic development of any society.

The main source of working out objects of the industrial property, that is, inventions, is protectionally able scientific- research works the fulfilment result of which is working out of new devices, methods, technologies, strains and so on, which can be protected by patents.

Inventions stimulate scientific researches, they are the catalysts of new technologies which give the additional income in manufacture or can be commercialized under the licence. Commercial realisation of objects of intellectual property becomes the main objective of legal protection of these objects at this moment.

The most important scientific achievements and inventions

Experience of the developed industrial states of the world testifies that all-round protection and commercialization of intellectual property is a necessary condition of adjustment of manufacture of knowledge-based competitive production both on internal, and on external markets. Results of scientific activity form the big group of objects of such property which promote the increase of technical level of social production first of all, its efficiency, productivity, and so on. Protectionally able subjects at university remain stable for 5 years and constitutes average 35 – 37 % out of the total of scientific research works. The scientific potential of such themes has the world level, and they can find application in corresponding branches of science and manufacture as the goods – exactly from such position the efficiency of scientific workings out are considered today.

Annually at organizational and methodical supply of department concerning intellectual property the quantity of guarding documents of Ukraine increases in the university:
 

Year	1998	1999	2000	2001	2002	2003	2004	2005	2006	2007	2008	2009	2010
Quantity of guarding documents	5	6	7	10	21	22	23	22	36	30	36	37	23

The majority of fundamental and applied researches are accompanied by creation of concrete scientific workings out which are protected by patents of Ukraine and directed on the solution of these or those problems in different branches of manufacture.

Under the direction of the honoured worker of science and technics of Ukraine, winner of Award of Ministry of Institutes of Higher Education of the USSR, the inventor of the USSR, the doctor of technical sciences, professor O.M. Shapovalova as a result of working out of materials, raw composites, the newest technologies of processing of titanic alloys and steels on the basis of phase transformations and their anomalies theoretical bases are created on the base of which new modifiers of multipurpose action are developed. They raise properties of steels by reduction of size of primary grains, quantity and morphology of nonmetallic inclusions, contents of sulphur, phosphorus, oxygen.

In the laboratory of the doctor of technical sciences, the honoured worker of science and technics, the winner of the state award of Ukraine, professor I.M. Spyrydonova the developed way of chemical-thermal processing ,thanks to which the layer of boride which protects it from destruction is formed on a surface. In comparison with the best samples of technologies in the CIS(Commonwealth of Independent States) and abroad this technology allows to lower duration of processing, to raise plasticity of a firm layer, to cut electric power expenses, to save materials of high cost. These workings out are protected by patents of Ukraine for inventions and useful models.

In 2004 according to the results of AllUkrainian competition „Invention of year” the invention of professor I.M. Spyrydonova with co-authors “The way of aluminium borination and its alloys”, protected by patent of Ukraine № 53197А, has been recognised by one of the winners, and in the nomination of the World Organization of Intellectual property group of authors: I.M. Spyrydonova, L.I. Fedorenkova, S.B. Piliaeva has been awarded by the Gold medal and diplomas.

During the last period scientists of university have carried out the following discoveries:

„The phenomenon of excitation of intensive secondary x-ray radiation in a layer roentgenoluminator”, authors of which are– professor Ye.O. Dzhur, associate professor Yu.О. Krykun, the diploma № 140, in 2000

„Regularity of distribution of x-ray radiation in polymer with metal inclusions”, authors – professor Ye.O. Dzhur, associate professor Yu.О. Krykun, the diploma № 157, in 2001

Scientists of Research-design Office "Southern"(“Pivdenne”) and physico-technical institute have opened „The phenomenon of abnormal change of intensity of a quanta stream of impenetrating radiation mono- and multielementary environments”, authors of which are– professor Ye.O. Dzhur, associate professor Yu.О. Krykun, and also the President of Ukraine L.D. Kuchma, the diploma on discovery № 208, in 2002

The discovery is made and registered by scientists in 2003 , one of its co-authors is assistant professor S.M. Lukashov – „The self-regulation phenomenon of electrogenesis of the central transfer of the human brain ”, the diploma № 222. Two discoveries are made by professor V.I. Chorna in the co-authorship with scientists of the Dnipropetrovs'k medical academy : “Regularity of expression of neurospecifical albumen in structures of animal brain at formation of echogram memory ”, the diploma № 190, in 2002 and „ Regularity of change of cathepsin activity in structures of animal brain at formation of engram memory ”, the diploma № 337, 2007. Co-authors of these discoveries are honoured with diplomas and medals.

In 2006 State Department of intellectual property of Ukraine the decision to admit inventors who have brought the meaningful contribution to scientific and technical potential of the country was made. The best inventors of the Dnipropetrovs'k national university are : professor M.M. Dron' – the author over 50 inventions, professor O.M. Shapovalova – the author of 36 inventions, the professor F. O. Chmylenko – the author of 34 inventions and professor I.M. Spyrydonova who is the author of 29 inventions, have been awarded by the Certificates of honour and breastplates “Creator”(“Tvorets'”).
