Technology-mediated barriers, a counter-trend

Trend of Precision Positioning Technology

This paper describes recent precision positioning technology. First, recent precision positioning mechanisms are introduced. Although ball screw mechanisms are widely used in industrial machines, the use of linear motors and the development of planar motors recently increase. Several linear motor mechanisms show the acceleration higher than 10G. The linear motor mechanism developed in my group ...

Barriers to Technology

In 1959 Robert Noyce invented the silicon monolithic integrated circuit. A few years later Gordon Moore decreed that the number of elements contained on a chip would double each year, with the more potent chips costing approximately the same amount year after year. These two events, according to John G. Linvill of Stanford University, marked the. inception of a technology that has since explode...

xMATRIX technology: a new trend in renal ultrasound

The most common primary malignant tumour of the kidneys is renal cell carcinoma (RCC). RCCs are often asymptomatic due to their slow growth and they are often detected incidentally during examinations for unrelated symptoms or diseases in an advanced stage. Surgical resection of the tumour remains the standard treatment, with partial nephrectomy showing similar outcomes to nephrectomy in small ...

A Trend Toward More Centralized Information Technology (IT) Management

Prevailing research on IT governance suggests that a large and increasing majority of multi-divisional organizations utilize a federal model of organization. Contingencies that influence a choice of centralized, decentralized or federal model include the organizational structure, business unit scope and the absorptive capacity of the business unit (Sambamurthy & Zmud 1999). Given the attention ...
