## Innovation Markets: An Overview 

- Presented at the Panel on Non-Price Competition/Innovation
- Workshop on Merger Enforcement
- Federal Trade Commission
- February 18, 2004
- Ronald W. Davis
- Atlanta, GA
- For a more detailed discussion see Ronald W. Davis,
*Innovation Markets and Merger Enforcement: Current *
*Practice in Perspective*, 71 Antitrust L.J. 677 (2003)

## Threshold Issues

- Does antitrust care about non-price competition?
- In a merger context?
- Statutory bar to merger enforcement without a current product market?
- Prudential bar to enforcement?
- Too hard to find the facts?
- Too hard to make valid predictions?

## What’s the Point of Enforcement?

- Regular markets: more output good, less output bad
- Innovation: more R&D input may not be good, and less may not be bad
- In principle, you look for the optimal amount of R&D, not the greatest amount
- But how do you know what’s the optimal amout?

## Of Markets and “Markets”

- To do antitrust merger enforcement to protect innovation, should we “define a market”?
- No buyers, no sellers in “innovation markets”
- Innovation: one of many steps in preparing to compete
- IP Guidelines definition: R&D for particular new goods or processes + close substitutes for that R&D

## Who’s in the “Market”—and What are they Doing?

- IP Guidelines: those firms with the relevant assets and characteristics
- How to find them?
- How do know what they are doing?

## Market Structure and Non-Price Competition

- What market structure best promotes innovation?
- Monopoly?
- High concentration?
- Moderate concentration?
- Low concentration?
- Any sound basis for presumptions—favorable or adverse?

## Good Presumptions

- IP Guidelines (1995) safe harbor: 4 or more other firms
- Competitor Collaboration Guidelines (2000): safe harbor: 3 or more other firms
- But, if it’s “merger-like,” see the Merger Guidelines
- Which, BTW, say nothing about innovation markets!

## Bad Presumptions

- Merger Guidelines § 1.51 c):
-   “Where the post-merger HHI exceeds 1800, it will be presumed that mergers producing an increase in the HHI of more than 100 points are likely to create or enhance market power or facilitate its exercise. The presumption may be overcome . . .”
- Position of Commissioners Thompson and Harbour
- Chairman Muris’ view
- And Commissioners Leary and Swindle?

## The Presumptions Debate: Where’s the Beef?

- Are we debating
- Whether the Genzyme deal was worth a close look?
- Whether facts could demonstrate no injury to competition?
- Whether prosecutors should prosecute (and courts will find liability) without a “story” of competitive injury?
- Who bears the risk of nonpersuasion?
- Whether the Commission could argue “prima facie case” in court?

## Genzyme: Presumptions or Stories?

- The deal foreclosed (or not) a race for Orphan Drug Act exclusivity
- It foreclosed (or not) a possible challenge to first generation Pompe disorder therapy
- R&D synergies did (or did not) exist
- And were (or weren’t) merger specific
- Two tracks of R&D in the combined firm were better (or worse) than independent R&D
- Genzyme had an anticompetitive motive (or didn’t)

## Critical Elements for the Diagnosis of Vascular Dementia (VaD)

- GC Román MD
- University of Texas HSC San Antonio

## Research Definition of VaD

- A) Dementia
- B) Cerebrovascular disease
- C) A and B must be reasonably related.
**Based on Román GC, Tatemichi TK, Erkinjuntti T, et al: Vascular dementia:  Diagnostic criteria for research studies. Report of the NINDS-AIREN International Workshop held at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md, April 19-21, 1991.  **
**	***Neurology*** 1993;43:250-260.**

## Research Definition of VaD Based on Román GC et al (Neurology 1993;43:250-260)

- Dementia:
- Decline in memory and intellectual abilities which causes impaired functioning in daily living.
- The Neurological Adaptation of of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10NA: WHO, 1991)

## Research Definition of VaD Based on Román GC et al (Neurology 1993;43:250-260)

- Dementia:
- Confirmation by neuropsychology tests of impairment of memory and decline in 2 or more cognitive domains, including: orientation, language,visuo-spatial functions, attention, executive functions, motor control, praxis.

## Research Definition of VaD Based on Román GC et al (Neurology 1993;43:250-260)

- Cerebrovascular disease:
- MUST include confirmation by brain imaging including: multiple large-vessel strokes (MID), single strategic infarct (thalamus, PCA, ACA), lacunes (multiple, basal ganglia, white matter); extensive periventricular white matter lesions

## Research Definition of VaD Based on Román GC et al (Neurology 1993;43:250-260)

- Cerebrovascular disease:
- Presence of focal neurological signs consistent with stroke with or without history of stroke.
- Use of Hachinski Ischemic Scale not recommended.

## Research Definition of VaD Based on Román GC et al (Neurology 1993;43:250-260)

- Dementia and CVD must be reasonably related:
- Onset of dementia within 3 months following stroke (post-stroke dementia)
- Exclude *pre*-stroke dementia: 5.5%-16.3% of cases of post-stroke dementia had symptoms of AD
- Abrupt deterioration of cognitive function
- Fluctuating, stepwise progression

## Research Definition of VaD Based on Román GC et al (Neurology 1993;43:250-260)

- Clinical features* inconsistent *with VaD:
- Early and severe memory deficit
- Worsening of language (transcortical sensory aphasia)
- Apraxia, agnosia,
- Absence of focal neurological signs
*No evidence of CVD on brain CT or MRI *

## Research Definition of VaD Based on Román GC et al (Neurology 1993;43:250-260)

- Clinical features consistent with VaD:
- Early gait disturbances, frequent falls
- Parkinsonian features
- Early urinary symptoms
- Personality change, mood disorders (vascular depression), psychomotor retardation
- Abnormal executive function

## Research Definition of VaD Based on Román GC et al (Neurology 1993;43:250-260)

- The prototype of subcortical vascular dementia is CADASIL
- (cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy) mapped to chromosome 19.

## Stellar Aberration Correction 

**Apparent shift in the position of celestial sources due to the velocity of the observer**
**Magnitude of the offset is ~sin(****θ****)(v/c), where ****θ**** is the angle to the velocity vector.**
**An object at the ecliptic pole will appear to trace a circle with 20.5” radius due to the motion of the Earth around the Sun. An object at the orbit pole will appear to trace a circle with radius ~5” due to the orbital motion of the spacecraft around the Earth.**
**Three places to apply this correction: **
**attitude used to determine GLAST tracking. **
**attitude provided by the spacecraft.**
**apparent positions of individual gamma-ray photons.**

## Stellar Aberration

**Observatories which have high resolution instruments with a small field of view (e.g. Swift, Chandra) often choose not to apply the correction if the star tracker is co-aligned with the instrument FoV and defines the observatory coordinate system. Why is this useful?:**
**The target will remain stationary in the field of view. **
**The aberration will be essentially constant across a small field of view and can therefore be neglected. Unaberrated coordinates for guide stars define the observatory coordinate system, resulting in unaberrated science photon positions.**
**This is not applicable to GLAST**
**The star trackers are no co-aligned with the LAT FoV.**
**Even if they were, the correction would vary significantly across the large field of view, there is no way to track that would obviate the need to apply an aberration correction to the gamma-ray photons.**
**So we should apply the aberration correction to all 3 areas, tracking solution, reported spacecraft attitude and gamma-ray photons. **

## Irradiated sensor

- Irradiated sensor (not on the support structure)

- Non-rradiated sensor (on the support structure)

- Noise increase by ~30%

- 1 ADC

- 0.7 ADC

## Equivalent (?) circuit

- sensor

- SVX4/hybrid

- Metal box

- L0 support
- Kapton flex

- Analog cable (20)

- GND

- hybrid GND

- sensor GND

- Signal return

- Signal ground

- Least impedance = least inductance                                     for high frequency (not resistance).

## Effect of Grounding

- Grounding hybrid end (only) seems better.

- Hybrid only

- Sensor only

- Both hybrid and sensor

- Structure inside the aluminum box.

## Equivalent (?) circuit (cont’d)

- sensor

- SVX4/hybrid

- Metal box

- L0 support
- Kapton flex

- GND

- hybrid GND

- sensor GND

- Signal return

- Signal ground

- Connection important

- Smaller inductance (or smaller loop)

## Extra GND connection btwn sensor and hybrid

- Note different vertical scale

- Another reference plane near the cable.

- Another reference plane near the cable PLUS better connection to the hybrid GND.

## cf. best noise performance

- Before installing onto the structure (with good reference plane)

- On the structure (hybrid ground only with better connection)

## Summary

- Need to reduce ground loop                                     Need continuous well grounded reference plane close to the analog cable (but with enough space to avoid capacitive coupling).
- L0 support and hybrid support must be electrically tied together.
- Will test if the copper embedded Kapton flex serves this function.
- Must avoid _any_ small ground loop.                  shorten (widen) the cable/wire length (width) for the ground connection at the hybrid end.

## Counseling

## Overview

- Define counseling
- Describe the qualities of a good counselor
- Understand methods and techniques for counseling
- Counseling plan
- Counseling exercise

## Characteristics of a Good Counselor

- Trusting
- Skilled
- Sincerity
- Listening skills
- Integrity

## Methods

- Directive
- Counselor-centered
- “I talk, you listen!”
- Disciplinary actions, guidance, behavior, etc.
- Non-directive
- Counselee-centered
- “You talk & I’ll listen”
- Investigative, behavioral, problem solving, etc.

## Techniques

- Questioning
- Encouragement
- Non-verbal behavior
- Physical environment

## Counseling Plan

- Have one!
- Objective
- Method
- Opening statement
- Define problem
- Observations

## Practice:Determine the Objective

***Cadet Wilson is absent frequently.  If he is not sick, he usually makes an excuse about his part- time job, or a flat tire, or some other emergency.  You never know if you can count on him.  If you were to develop a counseling plan what would your objective be?***
**A.  To find out why he is frequently absent**
**B.  To find out if your meetings are on bad days for him**
**C.  To tell him there is a problem and let him know what your expectations are**
**D.  To tell Cadet Wilson that he can no longer participate as a cadet since he cannot be counted on**

## Practice:Determine the Objective

***Captain Jones is your safety officer but has consistently missed mandatory reports and overall performed poorly in this capacity.  Develop an objective for your counseling session.***
**A.  To improve his performance**
**B.  To have him identify the causes of his poor performance, and outline steps he will take to improve**
**C.  To let him know he is doing poorly, and outline the improvements you expect**
**D.  To discuss the possibility of placing him in another position**

## Which Method of Counseling Would You Use?

- Cadet Wilson?
- Directive
- May find opportunity to become less directive and discover some underlying causes
- Captain Jones?
- May start directive in identifying the problem, but then transition to non-directive method to have him develop a plan for improvement

## Writing Practice--opening Statement

**George Jetson has been a member of your squadron for years as the finance officer.  George has always been a good friend to you (you are the squadron commander).  For the last three months he has missed nearly one-half of the meetings.  You also suspect that the last time he came you may have smelled alcohol on his breath.  Lastly, you know he has had some difficulties at home, but are not sure if any of these things are related.  You are concerned about the finances (especially since he has not produced the normal quarterly report for you yet), his attendance, and finally the impact his behavior may have on the cadets of this composite squadron (the alcohol smell).  Develop a solid counseling plan (including an opening statement).**

## Conclusion

- Review
- Characteristics of good counselor
- Methods
- Techniques
- Counseling plan
- Practice, be sincere, and be professional

## Runway Safety Areas

- Mark George
*Survival Factors Division*

## Runway Safety Areas

- Buffer zone 1000 feet beyond runway ends, and 250 feet on each side of runway centerline

- 1000 feet
- (longitudinal)

- 500 feet
- (lateral)

## Slide 3

## Slide 4

## Runway Safety Areas

- Options for improving RSAs:
- Acquisition of land (to standards)
- Relocate or shift runway
- Reduction in runway length
- Declared distances
- Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS)

## Runway Safety Areas - EMAS

- Engineered Materials Arresting System
- Crushable concrete blocks
- Attenuates energy as the airplane crushes the blocks
- Tunable for “design” airplane and available space
- Standard EMAS – 70 knot exit speed
- Non-standard EMAS – 40 knot exit speed

## Runway Safety Areas - EMAS 

## RSAs - Chronology of significant events 

| 1988

 | - FAA Regulatory Change
- New construction or significant expansion – RSA must meet standards
- Existing RSAs accepted “as-is”   |
| --- | --- |
| 1998 | - MDW contacts ESCO - EMAS potential at MDW |
| 1999 | - FAA Order - Runway Safety Area Program |
| 2000 | - FAA RSA Determination for MDW: “Not practicable to achieve standards.” |
| 2004 |  - March: FAA Order -  Financial Feasibility and EMAS Equivalence 
- April: ESCO provides MDW with updated EMAS cost and capability estimates 
- May: MDW practicability study completed |

## RSAs - Chronology of significant events 

| 2005 | - March: Meeting between FAA  and  MDW 
 July: LGA installs improved EMAS with 35’ setback
 September: FAA AC  – Introduced Non-Standard EMAS
 December: SWA 1248 accident occurs |
| --- | --- |
| 2006 | - January: MDW contacts EMAS manufacturer for estimates
- April: MDW request to FAA for EMAS funds
- Fall: First of four EMAS installations begin |
| 2007 | - Fall: Estimated project completion  |

## Slide 10

## Slide 11

## Slide 12

## Runway Safety Areas

- Non-standard EMAS would have stopped the accident airplane
- Conclusion: Absence of EMAS contributed to the severity of the accident

## PROBLEM SOLVINGHOME IDIS

## You Receive your HOME grant funds:

**Where do you find the break out of your HOME allocation?**
**ANSWER:**
**“****D” Drawdown Submenu**

## Slide 3

## What Drawdown Submenu should you pick?

**ANSWER:**
**SUBMENU “02”**
**View Grant Summary or Details**

## Slide 5

## Slide 6

## Definitions:  3 Fund Types

**1.  EN= Entitlement Amount = 75%**
**2.  CR= CHDO Reserve = 15%**
**3.  AD= Administration = 10%**
**To win a prize – What does **_**CHDO**_
**Stand for?**
**Community Housing Development Organization **

## Slide 8

## Problem:

**You have a locally certified CHDO who will do New Construction and the Contract has been signed.**
**Without calling Liz, how do you setup the CHDO funds in IDIS?**

## Slide 10

##               OH NO!!!!!!Your New CHDO is not in IDIS	To win a prize what should you do?

**ANSWER:**
**Call Liz  at  817-978-5946**
**           ****OR**
**Email: Elizabeth_A._Herron@hud.gov  **
**Provide the name, address, telephone of the CHDO and your HOME Grant Number (M04MC480234)**

## Slide 12

## What is the difference between SUBGRANTS & SUBFUNDS?

**Each year a PJ receives a HOME Grant and the PJ can not spend 15% of their grant so they must “SUBGRANT” that portion to a CHDO.**
**Any funds that a PJ wants to provide an entity that is not part of the 15% set-a-side for CHDOs they must SUBFUND**.

## Any HOME funds not used directly by the PJ  (EN & AD):

**Must be either SUBGRANTED  or **
**SUBFINDED!!!!!**
**(Subrecipient, CHDO Operating)**

## Slide 15

## Slide 16

## Slide 17

## Slide 18

## Slide 19

## Slide 20

## Now we have SUBGRANTED all the 15% CHDO set-a-side

**But our CHDO Contract is                    ****	****	****$110,001.00**
**How do we give this CHDO an additional ****$31,783.95?**
**Where will the increase come from?**

## Here are the choices:

**1.   Create a SUBFUND using option  03?**
** ****2. ****	****Maintain SUBFUND using  option 04?**
**ANSWER: 04 Maintain SUBFUNDS!**

## Slide 23

## Slide 24

## Slide 25

## The PJ has decided not to use their  AD Administration funds (10%) 

**The PJ wants to use the funds for additional HOME activities.**
**1. Do you just fund activities from AD?**
**2. Do you zero out the AD subfund?**
**3.  Call Liz?**
**ANSWER: Use option 04 and revise the ****	****AD to ZERO! /All SUBFUNDS EN**

## Implementing Pre-Harvest Food Safety--The U.S. Approach

- By Thomas J. Billy, Administrator
- Food Safety and Inspection Service
- U.S. Department of Agriculture

## Challenges to Pre-Harvest Food Safety

- Limited information on effective practices
- National governments have limited authority
- Numerous variables exist, such as farm practices, animal health, and the environment

## U.S. Farm-to-Table Strategy

- “Those in control of each segment must bear the responsibility for identifying and preventing or reducing food safety hazards.”

## Pathogen Reduction/HACCP Rule

- Cornerstone of strategy
- HACCP, performance standards for *Salmonella*, testing for generic *E. coli*, sanitation SOP’s
- Ripple effect to pre-harvest level
- Results: reduced *Salmonella* on products; reduced human illnesses

## Factors Driving Pre-harvest Change

- Regulatory requirements
- HACCP rule
*E. coli* O157:H7
- FDA feed ban
- Marketplace demands
- McDonald’s Corp.
- Consumers

## Third-Party Certification Programs

- Demand growing, e.g. MinnCERT
- Assure purchasers that certain practices have been followed
- Non-Hormone Treated Cattle Program

## FSIS Pre-Harvest Strategy

- No regulatory authority at pre-harvest
- Educate producers
- Research
- Farm-to-table risk assessments
- One size doesn’t fit all
- Transparency critical

## Educating Producers

- Use existing infrastructure to communicate
- Partnerships with state animal health agencies
- Commodity-specific programs such as Trichina-safe pork certification
- Guidelines for producers
- Producer organizations play role

## Research

- More research needed to identify specific practices to reduce hazards
- Multiple intervention strategies needed
- Promising interventions include competitive exclusion, feed and water additives
- Decoded genome for *E. coli* O157:H7 may lead to a vaccine

## Farm-to-Table Risk Assessments

*Salmonella *Enteritidis
- Led to Egg Safety Action Plan
- Farm-to-table interventions being implemented by various agencies
- FSIS Risk Assessment Center

## Future Plans

- Build on current activities
- Increased role for veterinarians at pre-harvest level
- education
- disease traceback
- residue avoidance

## Recommendations

- New requirements for meat and poultry plants should have a ripple effect on production sector
- Partnerships critical
- Science, through risk assessment, is key to developing effective risk reduction strategies

## Goal“We must bring producers into the food safety business in order for the farm-to-table chain to stay connected and be effective.”

## PHOBOSEnd of 200 GeV Cu+Cu

- Peter SteinbergBrookhaven National Laboratory
- March 9, 2005

## Run Statistics This Week

***~4nb******-1****** delivered******from RHIC***

***Goals: 1B events******(as for every run!)******Expecting:******400-500M events***

***Polarity flips now once/day ***

***1/26/05***

## PHOBOS Cu+Cu 200 GeV

## Run Totals by Day

## The Last Week

***Zero field run on Saturday - THANKS!***

## The Whole Run

## Expectations for 62.4 GeV

- 12 Days, 50% uptime
- 450 Hz average trigger rate
- This gives about 250M events
- Pushes out to ~5 GeV in pT - to match PRL

- Phys. Rev. Lett.  94, 082304 (2005)

## Special Requests for 62.4 GeV

- Polarity flips
- At least one on ~Monday 3/14
- Request for short field-off run
- As soon as possible using 1/2 store

## Expectations for 22.4 GeV

- Might expect initial rates of 500-600Hz
- O(10000)/(2*10) (beta* and gamma)
- Thus, rebucketing etc. is crucial
- If we get 450 Hz and we get
- 8 hours MD
- 6+24+8 = 38 hours run
- Then 46 hours x 50% uptime = 37M events MAX
- Sufficient data for all physics topics, but do not wish to shorten run, since overall uptime uncertain - e.g. setup may take longer than expected

## Falsework Guidance

- Dan Walsh

## Introduction

- Falsework is a construction term meaning temporary support
- CDOT did not consider the accident bracing to be falsework
- Falsework has important design and planning implications

## Definitions of Falsework

- CDOT – *Supports vertical loads*
- AASHTO – *Supports structural elements of concrete, steel, masonry, or other materials during their construction*
- FHWA – *Supports the permanent structure until it becomes self-supporting*
- OSHA – *No definition of falsework*

## CDOT Specifications

- CDOT did not consider the braces falsework
- Did not support vertical loads
- Had CDOT considered the braces  falsework
- CDOT would have required falsework drawings approved by a P.E.

## OSHA Regulations

- No OSHA regulations for falsework
- AASHTO and FHWA would have required falsework drawings
- OSHA is what contractors typically look to for guidance

## Inconsistent Terminology

- CDOT definition is narrow
- FHWA and AASHTO definitions are broad
- OSHA has no definition
- Steel erectors may not be following appropriate guidance

## Summary 

- Inconsistent falsework definitions lead to inconsistent requirements
- Causes planning and design without engineering input
- Puts the public in jeopardy
