MIT's 5 Patents to Watch

Several years ago, MIT Technology Review Magazine published a piece on 5 patents to watch. Amazon sells the piece for a whopping $7.50. They are IBM's distributed computing patent, ProdiGene's method for expressing vaccines in plants, Lucent's in-fiber amplification using Raman scattering, hydrogel-cell tissue engineering, and HP's molecular wire crossbar memory (how'd they patent that?).
