In contrast, smaller more organic firms particularly those in high tech industrial sectors focus more on problem solving in core technological areas through technology transfer and cooperative research relationships.
Plasma polymerization is a powerful coating technology for many technological areas, notably in the coating of biomaterials, particularly when it is applied under atmospheric pressure conditions which allow to avoid expensive pumping systems.
"Uh, at the time we were looking at, uh, different technologies, expanding into different technological areas and, uh, this seemed like, uh, an interesting, uh, uh, business, but we didn't have the capability was probably the truth to be able to deliver meaningfully in this business," said Nix. "So".
The content of the Journal is at the intersection of various scientific and technological areas, including particle technology, colloids, aerosols, multiphase systems, solid state physics, chemistry and macromolecular science, materials engineering, pharmacy, microcontamination, emission control, environment and health effects, biotechnology and biomedicine, sensors and electronics.
"Patent maps may also reveal relatively unexplored technological areas that are more central to other technologies or highlight denser areas with more technological interdependency that might form platforms for the emergence of future technology applications," they say.
Second, there is significant diversity in the selection and funding of technological areas.
A course designed to introduce non-electrical engineering majors to important technological areas within electrical engineering.
ARPA researched interesting technological areas, and under Licklider's leadership it focused on time-sharing and interactive computing.
"There are a host of technological areas in which the United States is falling behind to which this model might be directly applicable if it means developing skills and insights in new technological areas," he said.
Further, each individual category can be analyzed to identify local densities corresponding to technological areas, even with temporal changes.
Nanostructured materials have drawn increased interest due to their potential applications in various scientific and technological areas.
