Development technologies

The Hydrogen Fuel cell is a developing technology that will allow great amounts of electrical power to be obtained using a source of hyrogen gas. 

Contamination Control. In a number of developing technologies, contamination by small particles is a serious problem. To the extent that... 

Particular food products have weU-developed technologies associated with their preparation, processing, and packaging. Detailed discussions of processing technologies can be found in the general references. 

Wet spinning of this type of hoUow fiber is a weU-developed technology, especiaUy in the preparation of dialysis membranes for use in artificial kidneys. Systems that spin more than 100 fibers simultaneously on an around-the-clock basis are in operation. Wet-spun fibers are also used widely in ultrafiltration appUcations, in which the feed solution is forced down the bore of the fiber. Nitto, Asahi, Microgon, and Romicon aU produce this type of fiber, generaUy with diameters of 1—3 mm. 

California and Minnesota have placed restrictions on the disposal of fluorescent light tubes, which contain from 40—50 mg of mercury per tube, depending on size. After batteries, fluorescent lamps are the second largest contributor of mercury in soHd waste streams in the United States (3,14). A California law classifies the disposal of 25 or more fluorescent lamp tubes as hazardous waste. In Minnesota, all waste lamps generated from commercial sources are considered hazardous waste. Private homes are, however, exempt from the law (14). Other states have proposed similar regulations. Several companies have developed technologies for recovering mercury from spent lamps (14). 

The role of the Technology Manager is far broader (than that of the R D manager who develops technologies primarily from internal sources) he or she must see to it that the corporation has available and uses the technologies it needs from whatever source they may be procured... The difference is both subtle and far... 

Idemitsu Kosan Company is also developing technology to recover both hydrogen and sulfur. An aqueous solution of ferric chloride is used to...

Pharmaceutical manufacturers began to develop technologies either to resolve or selectively synthesize enantiopure drugs. The justification was that the active enantiopure drug would prove to be more efficacious, and this would allow drug companies to extend expiring originator patents. 

Energy is the ability to do work. The work can be done by man nr machine the fuel to do the work can come from food or fuel. Flumans often have a choice of whether or not to continue to develop technology that replaces the work of man as well as do other types of work that man is not capable of doing. Flistorically, the choice has been almost always to embrace technology, driving the steady increase in demand for energy. 

Physical realizability is often the most difficult of the above three corollary questions to answer. In general, to answer this question it is necessary to know 1) whether the materials and components required by the engineering design are available and 2) whether the manufacturing (and/or fabrication) techniques and skilled craftsmen needed to fabricate the product are also available. These two assessments are difficult to make because they often involve the projection of future technological developments. Technological developments usually do not occur according to schedule. 

The list of such applications is extended with developing technologies. 

The chief challenge to the plastics industry is not in pounds of plastics needed but rather in the translation of plastic development technology into production line...

It is a basic premise that this challenge can best be met by developing technologies for more efficient use of existing resources and for utilizing previously imtapped sources of energy. A number of approaches to these goals appear to hold promise for success in the next few decades. 

MITI is currently undergoing research to develop technology for the recycling of non-flammable plastics such as those used in business machines and computers. Their National Institute for Resources and Environment plans to decompose, without the production of harmful substances, non-flammable polymers by means of liquid phase hydrocracking, and to recover from them light oils such as benzene, toluene and xylene. The key to the technology, it is claimed, lies in the development of a catalyst which will be able to combine hazardous substances such as bromine and chlorine contained in the waste plastics.
