Our challenge was to give input to a technology company to make more of its products compatible with the circular economy.
One of the newest is MIMO, which stands for multiple input, multiple output -- a technology that uses multiple antennas to increase the signal strength and range of a wireless router.
For a technology, input and output arcs connected are used to calculate ITRL the same regardless of direction in the ITRL calculations.
Perhaps we won't appreciate their full impact until virtual reality goes mainstream; with an input technology that utterly gives itself to the idea of immersion and second-by-second experience, those quiet moments of reflection, those detailed landscapes, those almost theatrical techniques and stories will make complete sense.
Alternatively, using RNA as an input, the technology has been used to profile RNA expression levels, where the number of sequence reads "tagging" an RNA transcript is a measure of its expression [ 6].
Using DNA as an input, the technology has been used to resequence entire genomes, including from normal individuals [ 3] and from cancerous cells [ 4], and to resequence targeted genomic regions, such as resequencing protein coding regions to discover somatic mutations [ 5].
For example, these could include Proto-industrialization schemes (each family produces a different input), intermediate technology (technology developed for small-scale work; Schumacher 1973), small-scale creativity, introduction of business leaders (indigenous or non) into the community to introduce hierarchies, like a modern "big-man," and so forth.
Sensitive Object has created a touch input technology based on acoustic waves processing (more here).
Sandio, a 3D input technology company, has begun shipping its 3D Game O' mouse.
A low input technology has been proposed to cultivate oyster mushrooms Pleurotus ostreatus (Villa-Cruz et al. 1999; Hernández et al. 2003; Barrios-Espinoza et al. 2009; Avendaño-Hernandez and Sánchez 2013).
