technologyacceleration.org Technology Acceleration via a Regional Innovation Cluster Consortium In October of 2010, Catalyst Connection received a grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) to help small to mid-size enterprises (SMEs) enhance their productivity, technological performance and global competitiveness. The funding will be used to develop a model for Technology Acceleration via a Regional Innovation Cluster (T-RIC) Consortium that facilitates technology transfer from university and federal laboratories, to regional manufacturers for product commercialization. T-RIC's Vision is to create a model for technology acceleration that improves the competitiveness of American small and mid-sized enterprises (SME), and inspires them to develop and commercialize new products and services. It is the mission of the T-RIC Consortium to improve the competitiveness of SMEs in southwestern Pennsylvania and increase their success rates in developing and commercializing new technology. We will do this by: 1) increasing the connections between regional SMEs and university and federal laboratories, 2) developing the tools and processes to accelerate technology development, and 3) providing the training and assistance to successfully commercialize new technologies and products.

Andrew Hessel, a consulting biologist and advocate of DNA technologies, discusses the acceleration of technological DNA change to help cure cancer. Hessel refers back to 2002 when he booted up the first synthetic virus and started to make synthetic bacteria. Today he is playing around and reengineering simple organisms like algae to make fuels. Hessel emphasized that the field is moving so quickly that education has not been able to keep up. There aren't that many genetic engineers because the only way you can learn the skill is by doing it. Hessel says that this technology has the potential to create bigger and new industries that will help cities and people out. "The future is already here. It's just not very evenly distributed." Hessel is the CEO of Pink Army Cooperative, the world's first cooperative biotechnological company that is working to make personalized, affordable medicines for breast cancer and serves as co-chair of the Bioinformatics and Biotechnology program at Singularity University, an interdisciplinary university that aims to prepare leaders for accelerating technological change.

Ray Kurzweil is an award winning inventor and engineer. His inventions have changed the lives of millions of people suffering from speech and visual deficiencies. Ray presents his bold vision of the Singularity, a point in which technological advancements are so rapid that human beings will have to merge with artificial intelligence in order to stay at the forefront of technology. Ray's predictions are quite inspiring, and his rationale is well supported. The reality is, exponential growth is a natural biological process and technological advancement is an excellent example of this type of growth. Each year computers get faster and faster. We are able to solve more complex problems and advance our knowledge and understanding of how things work. From our computers to our cell phones, internet access, transportation and communication systems, technology feeds upon itself and surrounds us all. There is no sure way of knowing what the future will bring, but one thing is for sure, technology will play a key role in what is yet to come!

Nothing can prepare you for the take off speed of the Caparo T1. All aspects of the cars performance is instantaneous, acceleration, cornering, braking. But especially the acceleration. It distorts your perception of time and distance. 0 150 is F1 quick, it simply leaps from 50 to 120mph in what seams like little more than the 100 milliseconds the paddle shift takes to change gears. Sheer speed, this is what the Caparo T1 does better than any other road car in the world.

Kinetic Energy Recovery Technology vs Kinetic Energy Generating Technology. The Regenerative Acceleration Generator produces 10.2 watts at 3300 RPM while the Conventional Generator is able to produce ONLY 0.001 watts at 62 RPM with an identical prime mover input setting. The Regenerative Acceleration Generator produces 1019900% more output power over the conventional generator. REGENERATIVE ACCELERATION GENERATOR TECHNOLOGY There is now a new technology to add to the energy technologies debate. It is called Regenerative Acceleration Generator Technology (RM) and it is more of a "new energy" paradigm than just a new technology. What PDI Research has succeeded in designing a generator coil which REVERSES generator armature reaction. This armature reaction is responsible for the braking effect in electric vehicles. As the EV generator converts the vehicle's stored kinetic energy, electrical power is delivered to the batteries while it simultaneously decelerates the vehicle. As the vehicle kinetic energy drops the power supplied to the batteries also drops. PDI has been successful in creating generators coils which do not decelerate when a load is applied - but accelerate instead. Now when the RM generator is supplying power to the batteries the kinetic energy increases and the energy paradigm is reversed - since both kinetic energy and electrical energy now are increasing.

Irena Salina's award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century - The World Water Crisis. Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world's dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel. Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question "CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?" Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.

From the TEDx description of the talk: "David Orban connects every thing. After ten thousand years of accelerating techno-social evolution, the speed of change in machines is getting decoupled from that of humans, as we realize that we must grant them autonomy. As every thing gets connected, and the Internet Of Things builds itself, we will be free to be human, again! David Orban is an entrepreneur and visionary, an analyst of the global high technology landscape. He is Advisor and member of the Faculty of the Singularity University, and former Chairman, and a Director of Humanity+. He frequently speaks at conferences about the social impact of accelerating technological change, and of the Internet of Things."
