5. Invention And Innovation in theory and practice There is no such thing as "technology transfer"or at least no single thing. Rather, different disciplines have given birth to different models for university research structures to interact with industry. Though entities such as Columbia Innovation Enterprise bring about some organizational convergence, technology transfer http://www.columbia.edu/cu/21stC/issue-3.1/nelson.html

Technology transfer, in theory and practice Richard Nelson T here is no such thing as "technology transfer"or at least no single thing. Rather, different disciplines have given birth to different models for university research structures to interact with industry. The lion's share of fundamental research in the United States is done in universities; some of it is done in governmental labs, and a small fraction is done in industry, generally in only a few companies. It benefits all parties for knowledge to pass from one sector to another, but a simple model of linear transfer from basic research to commercial applications is inadequate to account for the complex interplay of interests involved. One pattern, arising after the Morrill Land-Grant Acts in the mid-19th century, is direct federal and state support for portions of the university system specifically working on problems bearing on agriculture. At experimentation stations affiliated with land- grant universities, faculty members worked on diseases of wheat plants, appropriate ways to fertilize and feed crops, and similar questions; parts of the university were thus dedicated, by intent and by funding, to the farming community and related industries such as pesticides and food processing. A number of engineering schools, too, have offices directly concerned with solving problems for local industry. In a different model, individuals or groups at universities perform basic research to understand particular phenomena, then publish an article about that understanding; after reading this public information, companies are able to better design products. Since the 1930s, for example, a considerable amount of university research has allowed the aerodynamics industry to benefit from new knowledge about the shapes and behavior of propellers. The biomedical research community and the pharmaceutical industry have had the same type of relationship; until recently, universities had little to do with the direct creation of new pharmaceuticals, but quite a bit to do with the understanding of biochemistry and diseases.

Solely a Jewish tradition, the Circumcision ritual plus many other Jewish traditions has found a willing host in the postMohammadan Muslim world.

For more than thirteen centuries here in the Muslim world exists a ritual known as Male and Female Circumcision. Solely a Jewish tradition, the Circumcision ritual...plus many other Jewish traditions...has found a willing host in the post-Mohammadan Muslim world. This man-made invention and innovation...not found in GOD's last scripture, Holy Qur'an...has been a curse on millions of children, both male and female, across the Muslim world. Every year in Egypt and other Arab countries every year thousands of female children are mutilated in the name of GOD. Scared for life, these children experience the most painful oddesy of their life, all in the name of GOD. One might ask how could a Merciful GOD advocate such evil and injustice to these children? Could it be that the sin falls in our own hands? Could it be that we are the unjust and we are the demons advocating such cruel and coward injustice towards our children! To all true scholars of Qur'an the answer is clear. GOD with his infinite grace did not and would not condone such cruel ritual. This act is not found anywhere in the Qur'an. It is only in such man-made innovations such as "Hadith and Sunnah" that one can find such cruel laws and rituals. It is the authors of these blasphemies that are responsible for these centuries-old crimes done in the name of GOD. All throughout history, laws and rituals have been conjured up and put in place in male dominated societies only to subjugate , women, children and

We invest in them at the very early stages and help them to a stage where they will attract further investment. So we'll invest before we have proof that a concept works, right through to pre-production. Like most investors, we take a stake, but the return can be commercial and/or social. We invest in around 50 ideas a year and work alongside them to maximise their potential. What do we offer?

15. The Real McCoy, African-American Invention And Innovation, 1619-1930 Exhibitions and Programs. The Real McCoy, AfricanAmerican Inventionand Innovation, 1619-1930. In South Carolina an archaeologist http://anacostia.si.edu/mccoy.htm

Exhibitions and Programs The Real McCoy, African-American Invention and Innovation, 1619-1930 In South Carolina an archaeologist bends over the shallow indentation that she has carved out of the earth. She carefully extracts a fragment of seventeenth-century pottery from its clay bed. A fine mist begins to fall. Stretching a canvas tarpaulin over the excavation, she climbs to the surface above to examine the potter. In Boston a historian sits in a windowless room peering into a microfilm reader as document after document appears on the lighted screen. He squints his eyes in an attempt to read an obscure handwritten eighteenth-century document a 1784 inventory of estate of a free black tool maker. He discovers that the tool maker Caesar Caller left an estate valued at about 77 pounds including a library valued at 23 shillings. Satisfied the historian turns off the machine and goes home to ponder the significance of this information. Both the historian and the archeologist are searching for information on early African-Americans: how they lived, how they worked, and what they thought of themselves and the world around them. Archaeologists like the woman in South Carolina and historians like the man in Boston are among the different kinds of people who are involved in the search for clues to this early history. As archaeologist Theresa Singleton describes it all are involved in the search for buried treasure. The technology of early African Americans is of particular interest to researchers. They are just beginning to uncover some of its elements and to understand some of the ways in which it contributed to the development of the wider American technology. It is impossible to discuss all of the different areas in which African-American traditions have made an impact on the emerging technology. Often such contributions went largely unremarked and unrecorded.

SELOVER Technology-a powerful servant "DID HE SAY three percent ?" "Yes," my friend quietly confirmed. The speaker was Sean Maloney, senior vice president of Intel Corporation, in his key-note at the Internet World 2000 Conference in Los Angeles last spring. The 3 percent he mentioned is what we are presently using of the potential of the Internet or World Wide Web. Moreover, he predicted that the Web would soon be three things: wireless, always on, and have infinite bandwidth. Such bold statements have implications far beyond my present (and probably future) need for comprehension. But they are nonetheless provocative and promising.

Invention vs. Innovation Printer-friendly format Email this story As Kelley puts it, good design makes lives better, but genuine innovation does more. New inventions arrive every day, but new innovations are rare. An electric dog washer is Kelley's example of an invention. "No one in the universe will buy it, so I would argue that that would not be an innovation," he says. "Innovation is a new idea that has economic value or can improve a lot of society." Good design has a part in both invention and innovation, he adds. As such, it's often in the background. If it's really good, you don't notice it. Certain well-designed products just "hit the sweet spot" and make you feel good. Continued... Innovate for a Better World Invention vs. Innovation Design the Experience, Not the Object
