Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary
|
It is not only important, but, in a degree necessary, that the people of this country, should have an American Dictionary of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England, and it is desirable to perpetuate that sameness, yet some differences must exist. Language is the expression of ideas; and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas, they cannot retain an identity of language. |

1828 Definition
HY'DRA, n. [L. hydra. Gr. water.]
1913 Definition
A serpent or monster in the lake or marsh
of Lerna, in the Peloponnesus, represented as having many heads, one
of which, when cut off, was immediately succeeded by two others,
unless the wound was cauterized. It was slain by Hercules. Hence, a
terrible monster.
Gorgons, and Hydras, and Chimeras dire. Milton. Hence: A multifarious evil, or an evil
having many sources; not to be overcome by a single effort.
Any small fresh-water
hydroid of the genus Hydra, usually found attached to sticks,
stones, etc., by a basal sucker.
* The body is a simple tube, having a mouth at one extremity, surrounded by a circle of tentacles with which it captures its prey. Young hydras bud out from the sides of the older ones, but soon become detached and are then like their parent. Hydras are remarkable for their power of repairing injuries; for if the body be divided in pieces, each piece will grow into a complete hydra, to which fact the name alludes. The zooids or hydranths of marine hydroids are sometimes called hydras. A southern constellation
of great length lying southerly from Cancer, Leo, and
Virgo.

Patent data is publicly available, serves as a instrument for doing patent-level and firm-level analysis for both private and public firms, and amidst the modern information age, may be the only way to secure intellectual property. Patent counts or forward-citation counts have been traditionally used to measure the innovation portfolio of a firm. Using network analysis, a variation of Google's PageRank algorithm is introduced to the patent citation network to define an objective measure for radical innovation -- ``Patent Rank". Two model types are considered: simple structure and technology ``class-match" using two temporal forms: cumulative network and five-year moving window. All utility patents from 1976--2009 will be analyzed; over 5.6 million patents and 40 million citations are evaluated to produce 332 million Patent Rank scores. Useful distributional properties are considered and these objective scores are compared to a recent subjective survey performed by PBS to assess the question: What are the most radical innovations of the modern era?
