Associations & Organizations
American Ceramic Society
http://ceramics.staging.10floor.com/index.aspx
The ACerS mission is to serve the informational, educational and professional needs of the international ceramics community
ASM International, the Materials Information Society
http://asmcommunity.asminternational.org/portal/site/asm/
“ASM International, the Materials Information Society, is the premiere resource for information and networking for materials engineers, scientists, researchers, teachers, and students. ASM’s mission is to benefit the materials community by providing scientific, engineering and technical knowledge, education, networking and professional development.”
MRS: Materials Research Society
http://www.mrs.org/s_mrs/index.asp
The Society’s core principles include interdisciplinarity, focused symposia, and greater interaction among researchers as related to materials science.
OCE: Ontario Centres of Excellence
http://www.oce-ontario.org/Pages/Home.aspx
The Ontario Centres of Excellence is the pre-eminent research-to-commercialization vehicle in Ontario. Created in response to Ontario’s most critical competitive challenges, OCE facilitate economic growth through support for industrially relevant R&D, the opening of new market opportunities and the commercialization of leading edge discovery. OCE build strong industry and academic relationships. And, OCE stimulate knowledge transfer through the development of bright minds, moving their skills to the market.
PEO: Professional Engineers Ontario
http://www.peo.on.ca/
Professional Engineers Ontario licenses Ontario’s 70,000 professional engineers, grants temporary, limited and provisional licences to practise professional engineering, and authorizes businesses to provide engineering services to the public. It sets standards for and regulates engineering practice. Under the Professional Engineers Act, its statutory mandate is to serve and protect the public interest where engineering is concerned. Rigorously educated, experienced and committed to a Code of Ethics that puts the public first, licensed professional engineers can be identified by the P.Eng. after their names.

Patents
The database contains patent documents from 1869 to the present. This database is updated regularly with newly granted patents and applications opened to public inspection. The electronically available patent information consists of patent document images and bibliographic and text data.
European Patent Office Database (esp@cenet)
esp@cenet is the freely available database to patent information. European patents are searchable in the esp@cenet database. The full text images of the documents in esp@cenet are available as PDF files.
FreePatentsOnline.com provides fast, easy-to-use and free access to millions of patents and patent applications.
Searchable full text/full page images of U.S. patents from USPTO. It is an alternative interface to searching USPTO. It is google, so it is easy to search.
JPO is one of the three main international patent offices (i.e. the United States, Japan, and the European Union). This Database on the Web can be accessed free of charge by anyone from any computer having an ordinary web browser.
For United States patents look under Basic Legal and then under Patent Research and then Patents.
The database is powered by Scholars Portal Search, which contains US and European patents related to materials science and engineering.
This facility allows you to search 1,374,585 international patent applications and to view the latest information and documents to the International Bureau.
United States Patent and Trademark Office
Searchable, full-text database from January 1, 1976 onward (full-page images since1790). To view and print patents in PDF for free, a viewer software needs to be installed.
