In Search of Expertise (Part 8): Ride the Hyperlink Express

“Stepton ran a rat-race! It wasn't so much the way he trained the rats to race - it was the way he got the mice to ride them.” – Unknown author
 
 
Among the many benefits of monitoring patent activity in your technical field is the list of references included in the patent.
 
Some of those references are to other patents.  Others are references to non-patent technical literature.
 
Both cases represent opportunities to identify experts in the field.
 
Google® hyperlinks have made it easy to explore these possibilities.
 
For example, I did a Google Patent Search for dibenzothiophene between the years 2012-2013. 
 
  • Next, I clicked the Patent Citations hyperlink.
  • Step two was to click the US7731838 hyperlink
  • Step three was to click the hyperlink to an inventor associated with that patent:  Madhav Acharya
 
Browsing the list of other patents associated with this inventor suggests that he is not only an expert in the field, but still quite active.
 
Here are the details …

Hydrotreating of aromatic-extracted hydrocarbon streams
 
 
App. - Filed Jul 27, 2012 - Published Feb 7, 2013 - Refa Omer Koseoglu - Saudi Arabian Oil Company
Abstract
Deep desulfurization of hydrocarbon feeds containing undesired organosulfur compounds to produce a hydrocarbon product having low levels of sulfur, i.e., 15 ppmw or less of sulfur, is achieved by first subjecting the entire feed to an extraction zone to separate an aromatic-rich fraction containing a substantial amount of the aromatic refractory and sterically hindered sulfur-containing compounds and an aromatic-lean fraction containing a substantial amount of the labile sulfur-containing compounds. The aromatic-rich fraction is contacted with isomerization catalyst, and the isomerized aromatic-rich fraction and the aromatic-lean fraction are combined and contacted with a hydrotreating catalyst in a hydrodesulfurization reaction zone operating under mild conditions to reduce the quantity of organosulfur compounds to an ultra-low level.
