      The teacher's role is that of an inducer of change in the behavior of a student. The student role, thus, is defined, i.e. that of an inducee. The concepts of inducer and inducee point to a concept of influence.

      Warren, Bashford, Healy, and Brubaker (1994) reported increases in the apparent duration of the fainter sound (the inducee), which alternated with a sound of higher intensity (the inducer). The inducer was a 70 dB, 1 kHz sine tone, and the inducee was a 66 dB sine tone, varying between nine frequency values, one value also 1 kHz, and the other eight frequencies were 1, 2, 6, and 10 semitones (STs) higher or lower. Both the inducer and the inducee lasted 200 ms.

      Every transaction in daily civic life but outside the relationship of law has both an inducer and an inducee. The inducer wants a specified benefit for himself even if it involves an infraction of the existing law, and is willing to pay a price for it. It is the price that allows the inducee to depart from his sense of morality and change his conduct. Society thus comprises both inducers and inducees and it is their conduct that affects and is in turn affected by civic life.

      The main choices were: (i) the inducer’s knowledge of the acts that would be carried out by the party at the other end of the inducing conduct, whom we might call the “inducee”; or (ii) the inducer’s knowledge that the conduct of the inducee would be an infringement of a patent. The Federal Circuit, after vacillating between these two options, in recent years consistently chose the latter—the inducer had to know the legal impact of the conduct of the inducee.
