Download or read book Spinoff 1997 written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-10-20 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1973, this publication has provided you with examples of products and services developed as a direct result of the transfer of NASA developed technologies to private industry. Then-we featured fire retardant materials; now-we talk about non-invasive cardiac monitors. Then-we reported about air pollution detection devices; now-we discuss sensors for environmental control. Then-we heard about vitreous carbon materials to be used for prosthetics; now-we design major propulsion systems used in the development of energy saving jet engines. Research and development in such areas as microcircuitry, fiber optics, enhanced imaging, material processing-to name just a few-has generated technology for decades. It is available to private industry in a vast storehouse easily accessible through NASA's Commercial Technology Network. The application of NASA technologies by the private sector increases productivity through the development of new products and processes that meet consumer demands; in turn, this benefits the national economy, industrial efficiency and human welfare. At the same time, it helps meet international challenges and aid U.S. industry to stay globally one step ahead of every scientific and technological innovation. The return in benefits (spinoffs) to you the taxpayer, through new industries, new products and services, and improved quality of life, represents a substantial dividend on the national investment in aerospace research. This publication will continue to heighten your awareness of the technology, know-how and assistance available for transfer, and the public benefit inherent in its utilization.

Download or read book Economic Development Through Entrepreneurship written by Scott Andrew Shane and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a wealth of efforts that examine separately the role entrepreneurs and universities play in economic development, no systematic effort has been made to examine the role universities play in promoting economic development through entrepreneurship. This book fills that gap, focusing on policy aspects of government university partnerships with a discussion both of best practices and problematic strategies. The book begins by tracing the history of American government university industry partnerships that have promoted economic development. In succeeding chapters, well-known scholars focus on linkages in different domains such as: technology transfer, innovation networks, brain drain, cluster-based planning, and manufacturing. Practitioner commentaries follow many of the chapters in order to present an evaluation of the arguments from the perspective of someone directly involved in the fostering of these relationships. Non-technical and accessible in nature, the chapters summarize existing knowledge and research in order to help policymakers, foundations, university officials, business leaders and other stakeholders create and enhance partnerships between universities and governments that encourage economic development through entrepreneurship.

Book excerpt: Christopher Nolan’s caped crusader trilogy—Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises—is considered by many to be one of the finest translations of comic book characters to the big screen. The second film in the series, The Dark Knight, was both a critical and commercial success, featuring an Oscar-winning performance by Heath Ledger as the Joker. The score—by Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer and eight-time Oscar nominee James Newton Howard—also received accolades, including a Grammy. Intricately interwoven with the sound design—and incorporating Mel Wesson’s ground-breaking ambient music design, —Zimmer’s and Howard’s music gives the film an added layer of ominous tones that makes palpable the menace facing Gotham City. In Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard’s The Dark Knight: A Film Score Guide, Vasco Hexel delves into the composers’ backgrounds to reveal the many facets of meaning in the highs and lows of the score. This book also highlights the working methods of Zimmer and Howard and how they collaborated with each other and the filmmaking team to create such a memorable soundtrack. By drawing on unprecedented access to some of the key creators of the film, the author provides unique insights into the score’s composition. Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard’s The Dark Knight: A Film Score Guide will be of interest to cinema and music scholars, as well as fans of both composers.
