Technology efforts, formal

In December 1975, the DOE s Lawrence Livermore Laboratory conducted a two-day symposium to launch a formal effort in laser technology commercialization. The purpose was to consolidate information and to transfer practical technology to industry from the Lab s laser fusion program. The technologies included optical... 

But what are acceptable limits for impurities The more formal answer to this question is that preclinical and clinical data should justify the acceptability of the chosen limits, that is, neither the efficacy nor the safety of the vaccine is adversely affected by the remaining impurities. Since this is not really a measure that can be applied during process development, the basic rationale should be that whatever is avoidable by current standards must be avoided. In practical terms, this means that state-of-the-art technologies should be applied and reasonable efforts should be made to achieve the highest levels of purity. If additional measures would adversely affect vaccine quality (stability, specific activity) or significantly reduce the yield without giving any benefit, these would appear inappropriate. 

Only three weeks later, Koppel was told that approval awaited only the formal endorsement of the agencies involved. This unusually quick and unexpectedly positive response from the Minister of War can probably be attributed to the talks that took place between Haber and the Minister in the spring of 1916, and to the changing military situation on the Western Front. Technology and science were becoming increasingly important to the war effort. 

As part of the DO-178C effort, a formal methods technology supplement has been developed, which will at last allow credit for the use of formal methods. 

As analytical technology and the petroleum industry change, older methods will be revised or discontinued and new ones developed. Within this dynamic system, new challenges will continue to face the analyst as quickly as older problems are solved. Through the efforts of ASTM members, new concepts will be evaluated, proven, and formalized as consensus test methods.
