Technological response

Several technological responses to these emerging trends can be gathered under the umbrella of process intensification. This term encompasses a wide range of methods and equipment for performing chemical processing steps more quickly and compactly, thereby increasing the... 

A Conceptual Model of Regulation-Induced Technological Responses... 

Phase II Pilot in-depth in-person interviews with a small number of leading companies believed to have made important technological responses to regulations on four extensively regulated chemical hazards... 

In Phase II, the goal of our interviews was to develop hypotheses about the factors important in shaping technological responses to regulation and about the characteristics of the actual responses. To facilitate this task, the sample of firms for the pilot interviews was deliberately enriched with firms that were known to have made relatively innovative technical... 

Overall desirability is an abstract definition and therefore some of its properties have to be analyzed, such as lack of fit and statistical effectiveness. It has been asserted that the effectiveness and sensitivity of partial and overall desirability are not lower than the same properties of any technological response. Overall desirability is quantitative, singular, statistically effective, adequate, etc. It has found a large application in the research of polymeric materials, rubber products, etc. 

Fig. 7.3. Development of Research Octane Number of two grades of gasoline in Germany, with the technologies responsible for the changes. The octane quality of the original unprocessed hydrocarbon (S.R. tops) was improved and augmented by material from cracking and reforming processes, from tetra-alkyl lead addition and by alcohols which were used at times of crisis because they could be produced from internal resources.

Sphere C is a customer-focused sphere. It is defined as Market l/product l/product 1 manufacturing. This choice would be appropriate if Market 1 made special demands on the company that required responses all the way back to suppliers. These demands might be in the form of new technology, responsiveness, or custom configurations. Fast responses up and down the supply chain are required in this type of environment. The company might form this sphere if they have found that their functional organization cannot respond fast enough.

Mixing in microchannels is one of the most important technologies responsible for the efficiency of microreactors [59, 60]. Suzuki et al. developed particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) for the measurement of chaotic mixing in a...

The answer to the transportation (of coal) crisis was the inven-tion of the steam locomotive and rail road tracks. Like the steam pump, the steam locomotive was a direct technological response to the needs created by the new coal environment. Together, the steam pump and the steam locomotive laid the technological base for the industrial era that followed. (Emphasis added, Rifkin, 1980, p.74.)...
