Technology Strength: This figure, the basis of the rankings, provides an overall assessment of a firm's intellectual-property power.
"Their technology strength is four or five times" that of Alcatel, the French electronics giant that was trying to acquire Lucent, said Francis Narin, president of CHI Research of Haddon Heights, N.J., which tracks companies' inventiveness by analyzing their United States patent portfolios and by tallying how often other companies rely on them.
At first, the natural variability of wood may discourage the engineers from using timber because of the variation in strength properties, but in glue-laminated technology, strength-reducing natural defects such as surface knots, splits and resin pockets are removed and short lengths of defect-free timber are joined with finger joints and laminated together into structural beams.
Now deal-makers are assessing acquisition candidates as much for their global coverage as their revenues and technology strengths.
In particular, it leverages the technology strengths of its subsidiary, Prime Focus Technologies, which has developed cutting-edge proprietary digital asset management systems.

It also analyzes the potential development of a water technology cluster to leverage the region's technology strengths in the $500 billion water market.
The stories will build on Youth Radio's Peabody Award-winning media production capabilities and MIT's technology strengths to create powerful multimedia productions augmented by new mobile computing resources built on App Inventor.
By bringing phone design and production in-house, the Wall Street Journal believes that Sony could leverage their "technology strengths to develop new innovative handsets more quickly".
By applying JD's supply chain and logistics expertise and Google's technology strengths, the two companies aim to explore the creation of next-generation retail infrastructure solutions, with the goal of offering helpful, personalized and frictionless shopping experiences.
However, none of the proposed network-based ADS architectures can be directly applied to IEEE 802.15.4-compliant WSNs operating under the UWB PHY since they do not take into account the UWB technology strengths and limitations.
