This monograph presents a case study protocol and analyses of nine technology transfer success stories across federal agencies and their research laboratories to begin to fill a gap in the existing literature where there is less available research on the impact and the mechanisms of technology transfer from federal labs.

"Tetsu Natsume of Sony Computer Science Labs (Sony CSL) has been pioneering technology promotion for a decade. As he seeks marketplace opportunities for ground-breaking research, he plays the role of a Technology Producer -- a role that will be increasingly important as organizations seek optimally efficient and effective applications of basic research. Natsume's task has been greatly facilitated by his association with Sony CSL, a research lab founded by co-author Mario Tokoro. While CSL is owned by SONY, it nevertheless operates almost entirely independently. At CSL, a diverse, cosmopolitan group of talented researchers are free to explore any idea that might one day change the world. Natsume's task is to optimise that process by identifying the best path to the market for the new insights that pour out of CSL. Functioning somewhat like a movie producer, Natsume has blazed a trail for technology promoters the world over. He explains his techniques for overcoming challenges and embracing opportunities. His "10 core principles of technology promotion", which offer the reader an especially valuable framework for moving between the very different worlds of the lab and the marketplace, cover the importance of appropriate timing, speed, commitment and mindset, while being rigorously simple and boldly ambitious.This book is an eye-opening primer for anyone interested in realising and optimising the commercial value of basic research."--Provided by publisher.

This book describes maker culture as it is manifested in particular socio-cultural contexts, and describes some of the underlying narratives behind the emergence of such cultures and hackerspaces. With reference to case studies, it invites a recasting of long-standing academic notions of industrialization, industrial location, urbanization, and regional divides.The volume approaches this emergent socio-cultural phenomenon from an academic perspective, and, as such, differs from existing studies in this field as it is the first to approach maker culture and makerspaces by tracing trajectories f.

Bring live heartbeats and heart rate data into your electronics projects as an impressive feature that builds user engagement. If you’re a Maker, developer, or artist, you’ve probably run into common, frustrating stumbling blocks for incorporating bio-sensors. Get the upper hand on smoothly integrating heartbeats into your projects on any platform with PulseSensor. First, you'll explore working with PulseSensor with a simple battery, LED, and speaker. Then deepen your knowledge by going through achievable projects using Arduino, nRF52, mico:bit, and other prototyping platforms. This book will guide you through hooking up the PulseSensor to circuits with motors, a GUI, and even the cloud. You’ll get practical tips and tricks that work in the lab, field, and even at public events, and look at the advantages of using PulseSensor on one electronics platform vs. another. You'll also look at the best ways to get a reliable heartbeat and BPM readings from different users in different applications. Finally, this book will show you the easiest path to put heartbeats into your prototypes, whether creating a new generation of hardware or making a memorable cosplay costume. You will: Work with PulseSensor directly on a breadboard with AA batteries and LEDs Get up and running with PulseSensor on Arduino, micro:bit, and nRF52 Anticipate and address common bio-sensing issues that slow down prototyping Explore future applications like BPM tracking on the Arduino IoT Cloud.

Design and analyze electronic components and systems with the help of powerful software and effective skillsets. Balancing theory with practical exploration of the relevant software, you'll start solving power electronics problems like a pro. Using MATLAB®/Simulink®, you'll analyze the circuit in a laptop charger; interface with the power electronics converter controlling a washing machine's motor; turn on lamps with an electronic ballast; convert AC into DC power; and more! Power electronics are at the bedrock of all the wonderful devices simplifying our daily life. Designing them isn't just about understanding schematics. It also requires measuring twice and cutting once. In order to save time and money, a power electronics circuit must be simulated before construction. So you'll learn how to work with one of the most powerful simulation tools for this purpose. That way you'll know before you even go to make it whether the circuit works as expected. Learn to work with MATLAB®/Simulink® by directly applying and building the projects in this book. Or use it as a lab manual for power electronics and industrial electronics. Either way, using strong simulations and solid design theory, you'll be able to build power electronics that don't fail. You will: Simulate power electronics effectively before building them Select suitable semiconductor components for your circuit based on simulation waveforms Extract dynamic models of converters and design suitable controllers for them.
