PCTFULL can now be searched by numeric properties in STN


Numerical searching of the full texts of WIPO patent applications in the PCTFULL database is now possible on the STN platform, thanks to a new search feature developed by FIZ Karlsruhe. The tool enables users to limit a keyword search by also specifying attributes such as particles in the nanoscale, catalytic reactions at low temperatures, or mixtures in a


certain percentage range. More than 30 physical properties are indexed and searchable, most of them as base or derived SI units. Almost 400 further units and spelling variants are converted to SI units in order to encompass a wider range of retrievable values. Intervals contained in the text are also recognised. www.stn-international.de
