Malaysian animation critics held up Kampung Boy as the standard to which their country's animators should aspire, and academics in cultural studies regarded the series as a method of using modern technologies and cultural practices to preserve Malaysian history.
A 1960 Harvard Business School grad who did market research for Corning Glass Works, Saxe in the early 1960s sank $168,000 into the rights for light-valve technology, a method of controlling the amount of light coming through glass, only to learn that the technology had already been patented by Polaroid Corp. founder Edwin Land in the 1930s.
The launch of a technology facilitation mechanism, the cumbersome name that has been applied to a method of helping developing countries harness technology to kickstart their own development.
To hit the order where it hurts (in the oil reserves), Dracula is developing a remarkably prescient technology: a method of wireless electrical transmission.
To get around that, the students relied on "conformal interference joining technology," a method of joining metals through a process involving electromagnetism, as opposed to heat.
In the case of "extreme ultraviolet" technology, a method of packing even finer circuitry onto silicon wafers, the three big chipmakers have even had to step in and share the burden.
To share the risk of developing "extreme ultraviolet" (or EUV) technology, a method of packing even finer circuitry onto semiconductors, the three big chipmakers have all taken equity stakes in ASML and contributed to its R&D budget.
Aside from the unsurprising addition of the "retina" high-quality display, of particular interest was the addition of 4G LTE technology: a method of receiving data far faster than the iPad's existing 3G capabilities.
The 220,000-square-foot plant, slated to open later this year, will use spun-laced technology, a method of spraying water at 3,000 pounds per square inch to entangle synthetic fibers-rather than using heat; the finished fabric is strong and soft.
