We're going to challenge each of our 57 regional VA offices to come up with the best ways of doing business, harnessing the best information technologies, breaking through the bureaucracy.
Using hydrofracturing technologies — breaking the shale with water, sand and chemicals to release the oil — and horizontal, spiderlike tentacle borers that can spin out beneath communities, the still-emerging boom is bringing energy exploration to some of the fastest-growing counties in the nation, and to places with no experience whatsoever in dealing with it.
Most display technologies break Moore's Law because the goals are different for display makers than they are for chipmakers.
While the transition literature has traditionally treated existing infrastructure as a barrier, recent research has emphasized that infrastructure transformation can function as a facilitator, helping sustainable niche technologies break through.
Digital technologies break such barriers.
Digital technology breaks the signal into 1's and 0's, allowing far more data to be transmitted through a far smaller amount of broadcast spectrum.
The technology breaks silicon wafers into tens of thousands of chiplets, bottles them as "ink" and then "prints" them, much as a Xerox laser printer puts toner on paper, he said.
Such a coordinated effort could mark the start of a thrilling era in architecture and planning, in which the newest, most advanced technology breaks through the barriers that have long separated the designer's dream from the citizen's vision.
She takes new discoveries in molecular and biological technology, breaks them down into their simplest forms, figures out ways to replicate them at lower costs and then transfers the information to public health workers in the developing world.
The technology breaks voice conversations into small packets of data, which are dispersed over any number of possible routes, mixed with other people's data transmissions, and then sorted out at the receiving end.
