Technological capabilities

New technological capabilities in the performance of ultrasonic testing were implemented in the application of computerised flaw detectors, which allow development of new technologies and control of various especially critical and complex components. 

Given the actual scenario, one can state that the emerging field of nanotechnology represents new effort to exploit new materials as well as new technologies in the development of efficient and low-cost solar cells. In fact, the technological capabilities to manipulate matter under controlled conditions in order to assemble complex supramolecular structures within the range of 100 nm could lead to innovative devices (nano-devices) based on unconventional photovoltaic materials, namely, conducting polymers, fuUerenes, biopolymers (photosensitive proteins), and related composites. 

Many challenges exist for achieving successful C02 utilisation, including the development of technologies capable of economically fixing C02 in stable products for indirect storage. 

If certain NBC-OD are not available from local manufactures and must be imported there are two alternative solutions to establish a manufacturing facility (or a pharmacy laboratory) supported with government funds or the establishment of a central agency for import and distribution of antidotes, under governmental control. The decision depends on the economical and technological capabilities. 

In the late 1990s, extensive research work was carried out on a number of complex ilmenite ores resulting in the development of new technology capable of producing good-quality ilmenite concentrate with a respectable recovery. This section describes the treatment process that was developed for apatite-ilmenite ores using new technology [9]. 

Next to the superior technological capability of firms or industry branches, other aspects are also important market introduction strategies for new technologies, market introduction advantages due to access to regular customers, the internal capability of a firm to identify and use the market chances of new developments and reputation (Beise, 2004, 2005 Meyer-Krahmer, 2004). 

To identify lead markets for hydrogen and fuel cells, a holistic approach is chosen which takes supply- and demand-side factors into account as well as regulative impacts. Quantification of lead market factors is often not possible (e.g., how are technology capabilities or transfer advantages measurable ). 

Biocatalysis has long been known as a green technology, capable of delivering highly stereo-, chemo- and regioselective transformations that can sometimes allow... 

A good design project should match the technological capability with several potential market applications, which can be investigated and explored. Which market would appreciate a very strong and light fiber, and would it be in golf clubs and tennis rackets, in flak jackets for soldiers and police ... 

Delivery technology capable of providing hydrogen fuel so that when the fuel cell vehicles are commercially available, people can fill them up at their convenience. 

Is only known technology capable of greater than 99% uranium removal... 

To develop efficient catalytic technology capable of solving contemporary problems related to energy and resource limitations, synthesis of materials, and environmental protection, novel concepts for catalyst design are needed. Catalyst design at the atomic level utilizing the techniques of advanced surface science is one of the possibilities but this can be applied only for model catalysts, and the syntheses of industrial catalysts by this method are not yet realistic (6).
