We are increasingly seeing the car as a functional technology to get from A to B, rather than the much more symbolic representation it had in defining society in previous generations.
Rather than just recycle last year's electronics into next year's, folks like FreeGeek put functional technology into the hands of people who can use it.
Multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) technology has evolved from being a useful forwarding mechanism to an advanced and highly functional technology that enables service providers to activate new sources of revenue and new network features for their customers.
By resorting to the average dwell time approach and Lyapunov Krasovskii functional technology, the H∞ estimator design are developed in terms of solvability of a set of linear matrix inequalities.
Disruptive startups in the field — who win business with faster and more functional technology, as well as lower fees compared to banks — have been buoyed by a strong rise in e-commerce activity, where some or all of a transaction by a customer is made either online or by mobile.
One can only wonder if smart phones might do for television and films what Leicas did for photography - to take it from functional technology to art form.
In addition to understanding gene function, functional genomic technologies have also been used to help in phenotyping organisms.
The availability of reliable transformation technology should encourage the application of current functional genomics technologies to triticale, and accelerate the biotechnological-based approach to its improvement.
Fortunately, a variety of novel high-throughput genome-wide functional screening technologies provide important clues that shed light on gene function.
However, powerful functional genomics technologies for finding and mutating mosquito genes as well as regulating transgene expression, such as enhancer- and gene-trap technologies, have been lacking.
