Timber supplies and iron-ore deposits made possible the development of a prehistoric iron industry.
His research in solid-state physics made possible the development of inexpensive electronic switching and memory devices in computers.
The principle made possible the development of the asynchronous, self-starting induction motor that is widely used today.
Kano script made possible the development of a secular Japanese literature, beginning with such Late Heian classics as Lady Murasaki's "Tales of Genji".
It also seems to have made possible the development of a pictorial, two-dimensional language equal to but different from the sculptural tradition already in place.
Simulation makes possible the development of models that approach the complexities of conditions in nature, a procedure of great value in studying wildlife management and related ecological problems.
Modern electronics also made possible the development of electronic time fuzes, which, replacing the mechanical clockwork type, could be more easily set and were much more accurate.
Harry was at the center of the Owens River affair the diversion, at public expense, of Sierra Nevada water that made possible the development of modern Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley.
The progressive miniaturization of electronic components in the late 20th century made possible the development of all-electronic watches, in which the necessary transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other elements were all on one or several miniature integrated circuits, or chips.
The semiconductor industry sprang from the successes of microwave radar and, in its turn, through the transistor, made possible the development of reliable computers with power undreamed of by the wartime pioneers of electronic computing.
