1、Technology Transfer5a Technology TransferThe sharing of the development and production of an invention (a new product or system) or innovation (an improvement of an existing product or system) expands the knowledge base of technology. Technology TransferThis new knowledge base will have a direct eff
2、ect on the ability of people to develop and produce more technologies, which is referred to as technology transfer or spin-offs. Technology TransferTechnology transfer, or spin-offs, is an exciting concept. You will have various opportunities in this course to investigate how technology transfer hap
3、pens within a technology, among technologies, and across other fields of study. Technology TransferYou will also study the economic benefits of technology transfer. By using various resources to gather information on technology transfer, for example, you may be asked in your face-to-face session wit

Technology TransferThe National Technology Transfer Center (NTTC) has worked with NASA since 1989 providing the services and capabilities needed to meet th
5、e changing needs of NASA for managing intellectual property and creating technology partnerships. Technology TransferWorking with NASA Field Centers all across the United States, the NTTC assesses technologies and creates partnerships that leverage research efforts and maximize product-development o
6、pportunities. By guiding innovations from the lab to the marketplace, the NTTC helps to bring useful new products to all Americans. Technology TransferSmoke detectors, CT scanners, global positioning systems, the cordless drill. These products and thousands more are results of NASA technology transf
7、er. The NTTC provides a crucial link in this process by connecting NASA with companies that can commercialize federally funded technologies. Technology TransferTechnology transfer occurs when a new user applies an existing innovation developed for one purpose in a different function. Windmills and s
8、olar systems are examples of technology transfer. Technology TransferThere are thousands of products which have made the transition from space-related products to common use.These are a few examples. Technology TransferSpin-offs are products which have undergone a technology transfer process from re
9、search to public use. These uses may be direct or indirect. Spin-offs are recognized as important products and a concerted effort is being put forth on behalf of NASA and other agencies and corporations to introduce spin-offs into both private industry and commercial use. Technology TransferSpin-off
10、s are all around us. Most spin-offs usually go unrecognized and unappreciated. They are a part of every facet of our culture and pop up most in the areas of:Household SafetyHealth and MedicineCommunicationsComputer TechnologyEnvironmental Management Technology TransferMarshall Space Flight Center us

Technology TransferSometimes spin-offs are things that we could not live without, such as satellites for communications, broadcasting, and weathe
12、r forecasting. Often they are simple things, like saran wrap or aluminum foil. Sometimes they help us have fun by improving upon designs for sports equipment. Spin-offs are everywhere and they are everything. Technology TransferThe following is a very brief sampling of a few of the spin-offs that ma

14、 patterns that we tend to take much of it for granted. Technology TransferThe Technology Transfer Program at NASA helps business take advantage of NASA research to benefit technologies in the home, in hospitals, at the mall, at the airport, in the sports stadium, in museums, on farms, for science, a
15、t the firehouse, and for the environment. Technology TransferThe transfer of technology from one society to another can cause cultural, social, economic, and political changes affecting both societies to varying degrees. Technology TransferSharing methods to increase food production and preservation
16、 can alter a countrys living habits in significant ways. For example, the idea for developing flash freezing, a method to freeze foods that preserves the flavor, appearance, and nutritional valve, was based on how the people of Labrador preserved their food. Technology TransferThe resulting inventio
17、n, frozen food that is ready to heat and eat, has considerably changed the living habits and culture of many societies. Technology TransferSummary Technology transfer or spin-offs is the transfer of ideas, information, methods, procedures, techniques, tools, or technology from the developers to pote
18、ntial users Many technology transfers or spin-offs come from developments in technology from NASA Spin-offs are all around us.
