Technological macro trends

The side lining of today may contain graphite or preferably silicon carbide to obtain high heat loss in high-amperage cells, but still a frozen ledge is needed for protection.

Luminescence science has developed into a powerful tool for studying nature in macro- and microenvironments. At present, there are many scientiflc advances being reported that incorporate fluorescence technology into the research regimen. I expect this trend to continue as the scientiflc community becomes more cognizant of the knowledge to be gained by use of luminescence techniques. 

A macro- and micropetrographical analysis with a view to before technological problems involved in the briquetting process allows one at the most to judge the briquettability of Rhenish brown coal on the basis of trend data. 

Chemosensory applications will normally take place in an environment of complex composition. Humidity and other varying ambient conditions are in sharp contrast to the well-defined environment most typically found in related applications of imprinted polymers. Moreover, the trend in sensor technology towards miniaturisation, with the aim of future nano-scale dimensions, is a primary reason for rising perturbation sensitivity, such as new interfering forces that can be neglected in the macro range. Chemical sensors can be influenced by numerous factors, such as electrostatic effects (ChemFETs) or non-specific adsorption (SAW, surface plasmon resonance). 

The macro-economic, automotive technology and module fabrication technology driving forces and trends affecting coating use and intercoating competition are reviewed in Table 4(1).
