Miller Mar. 1974 203 p refs (Contract NSF C-822) (PB-242194/9; NSF/RA/R-74-004; NSF/RDI-4) Avail: NTIS HC $7.25 CSCL 05A The entire body of law which affects the commercial development of technological innovation on its way to the marketplace is examined. The research included in-depth studies of specific court cases, interviews, surveys, reviews of licensing policies and practices, and examinations of trade secret case data in six major industrial states and the FTC. GRA N75-33947# Syracuse Univ. Research Corp., N.Y. Report Albert Teich and W. Henry Lambright Mar. 1974 347 p refs Prepared jointly with the State Univ. of New York, Syracuse (Contract NSF C-832) (PB-242225/1; NSF/RA/R-74-018; NSF/RDI-18) Avail: NTIS HC $9.50 CSCL 05A The study placed special emphasis on the nature and development of linkages among the necessary participants involved in the transfer process, and is based on a conceptual model of technology transfer which assumes that there are three basic functions involved: innovation, manufacture, and utilization. The 11 cases studied were a silent communication alarm network, an electrical switchpack, an automated chemical analysis method, slippery water, a rechargeable cardiac pacemaker, an artificial kidney, an automated hospital room, firefighters protective clothing, a microwave landing system, and the synchronous communications satellite. GRA The objective of the study is to identify and analyze the problems faced by public works officials in bringing new or improved technology to bear on their operations, and to develop means by which a major professional association (the APWA) might help to overcome those problems. The problems of technology utilization were found to be systemic in nature, and a long-range action program was recommended to design and test a formal public works technology coordination system. This system would be designed to bridge the gap between existing public works and technology management systems, to provide liaison with other key organizations. GRA N75-33950# Williams (Charles W.).

Givens Jul. 1974 56 p Sponsored by NSF (PB-242384/6; NSF/RA/R-74-036) Avail: NTIS HC $4.25 CSCL 05A This report is primarily concerned with the intergovernmental aspects of technical assistance from the federal government, and ways in which federal agencies can improve the innovation process. A brief overview of present federal technical assistance activities is presented along with a conceptual outline for a strategic evaluation of these activities. The present NSF/RDI program and its potential relationships with federal technical assistance are described. Three basic alternatives open to the RDI program to increase the rate of innovation are: adopt a Third annual report on the financial condition and results of the operation of the Airport and Airway Trust Fund [B-DOC-93-230] N75-10854 An advanced air traffic management concept based on extensions of the upgraded third generation ATC system.
