Spintronics is a new area of technology that can be used for information processing and transmission, and is based on spin, rather than electron transport.

This title occurs more in those technology companies that make products other than software, but increasingly CTO is used instead now in both software and non-software industries alike to refer to overseeing the development of technology being commercialized.

One advantage Chaplin found in sound technology was the ability to record a musical score for the film ; he also took the opportunity to mock the talkies, opening City Lights with a squeaky, unintelligible speech that " burlesqued the metallic tones of early talky voices ".

Computer music systems and approaches are now ubiquitous, and so firmly embedded in the process of creating music that we hardly give them a second thought: computer-based synthesizers, digital mixers, and effects units have become so commonplace that use of digital rather than analog technology to create and record music is the norm, rather than the exception.

For these reasons, old encyclopedias are a useful source of historical information, especially for a record of changes in science and technology .< ref > Kobasa, Paul A.

IBM developed punch card technology into a powerful tool for business data-processing and produced an extensive line of unit record equipment.

But science fiction writers have a fairly good track record in predicting future technologies — for example geosynchronous communications satellites ( Arthur C. Clarke ) and many aspects of computer technology ( Mack Reynolds ).

If present, they refuse to record the signal, just as with the earlier ACP technology.

Where traditional ragtime depended on amateur pianists and sheet music sales, the novelty rag took advantage of new advances in piano-roll technology and the phonograph record to permit a more complex, pyrotechnic, performance-oriented style of rag to be heard.

With the advances made in DASD technology, a read / write of a 4K record is just as efficient as a 1055 byte record.

Upon repair, rigid airship technology proved its potential in subsequent flights ( the second and third flights were on 17 October 1900 and 24 October 1900 ) beating the 6 m / s velocity record of the French airship La France by 3 m / s.

The accident-free record of United States Navy reactor operations stands in stark contrast to those of America's primary competitor during the Cold War, the Soviet Union, which lost several submarines to reactor accidents in both its haste and chosen priorities for competing with superior U. S. technology.

They are mostly associated with unit record equipment and the early days of digital computing, but the technology is still in use.

JVC also developed SVHS-ET technology for its Super-VHS camcorders and VCRs, which simply allows them to record Super VHS signals onto lower-priced VHS tapes, albeit with a slight blurring of the image.

With today's relatively easy access to technology, an alternative to the record producer just mentioned, is the so-called ' bedroom producer '.

The accord set the following priority areas: primary health care, home care, catastrophic drug coverage, access to diagnostic / medical equipment and information technology and an electronic health record.

The technology of DAT is closely based on that of video recorders, using a rotating head and helical scan to record data.

Modern surveys generally use magnetometers with GPS technology to automatically record the magnetic field and their location.

This record gives an idea of what Dodds would have sounded like in his prime had the recording technology been what it is today.

In the 2000s, the changing music industry, the decline in record sales, the growth of new digital technology and increased use of the Internet as a tool for music promotion allowed a new wave of indie rock bands to achieve mainstream success.

Industrial archaeologists aim to record and understand the remains of industrialisation, including the technology, transport and buildings associated with manufacture or raw material production.
