Technology Transfer Career Guide and Counseling

Question: Technology transfer from NASA is great - how about helicopters to other areas - is there a list? NASA use of solar panels has helped that industry, and there is a long list of transfer of benefits to technology. What about Sikorsky and Boeing helicopters used in fighting fires and other non-military stuff...

Answer: Interesting question. Page E 3 of the Connecticut Post (9/27?07) had an article about helicopters used for rescue...but other uses? Perhaps when warfare is less popular, we will see helicopters and their pilots/etc in a new light. But technology transfer? Q: What are some Non-military uses of helicopters? Responses: 1. We have them at our local hospitals. We have had them for quite some time. Also saw them using one to build a Lowes here in town. Source: http://www.uciowa.com 2. They are used Offshore in the Gulf of Mexico to transport cargo & personnel to the rigs and platforms every day. 3. traffic copters, lifting heavy objects, sightseeing, emergency transport of blood or organs 4. Helicopters are a very good transport b/c they can land in many places unlike planes. Helicopters help alot in catching criminals especially at night on foot b/c they can hover and they have a spot light that shows exactly where the criminal is without helicopters many criminals would get away from the police 5. Helicopters have many uses, as mentioned they are used in rescue and military, but also they are used by police departments, used for medical evacuation, scenic flights, and in my neck of the woods a lot are used in agricultural spraying of cranberry bogs. 6. helicopters are doing a great job in the field of agriculture. not only for transportation but also for spraying a large field more efficiently than an air craft. they can be made suspended on a particular area on the field. in range management they are used to navigate the farm animals as well as in wild life research they do a great job. they are also used to rescue mountain climbers. 7. The list of things a helicopter can do would be quite long. Transportation, Freight, Crop Dusting, Policing, Surveillance, water bombing, waterskiing, pizza delivery (?)... Really, the uses are endless, I'd seen one being used to dry a rain soaked cricket ground. 8. UK only, Ted Moult used to test double glazing draught proofing with one on a TV ad in the UK in the 1970's by hovering a Bell Jet-Ranger outside a window then getting someone to drop a feather on the inside of the window to proove they were good quality. 9. All of the above and more. I've drawn samples from volcanic lakes that the fumes would kill anyone approaching from the ground. Next week I'm recovering a crashed airplane. Over the summer I'll be flying contaminated soil out of remote sites. Doing seismic studies, mining support, research support, personnel transport, carrying cargo to remote camps, dropping harbor pilots onto freighters coming into port, and yes, doing the occasional tour. 10. They are used for logging, where they lift cut-down trees out of the forest. They are used to string power lines. They are use to place repair workers on power line transmission towers. They are used to set heavy air conditioners on rooftops They are used to set building materials on rooftops. They have been used recently in central California to try and prevent frost by hovering over freeze-sensitive crops. They are used on large ranches to herd livestock and "ride" fences. 11. They are used as medivac, firefighting, police, TV, heavy-lift, tourism, off shore transport, executive shuttle... the list goes on and on. Look up evergreenaviation.com and ericksonaircrane.com. Many tried to help during hurricane Katrina, but from what I heard from National Guard crews sent there was some got shot at more there than in Iraq! What kind of savages do that?! And there is a scheduled helicopter airline in New York, believe it serves downtown and some of the airports. Source: Army helicopter mechanic for 7 years 12. Actually, about 25% of helicopter flight hours are used lifting christmas trees. It sounds retarded, but its actually so much faster to use a helicopter to get the trees out of the fields that they are used in huge numbers. It only takes a helicopter a few seconds to lift a bundle of trees to the trucks, but it would take over 10 minutes on the ground, and the crews would spend alot of time just waiting for the trucks. Its only about $80-200 an hour for a chopper, so it only needs to lift maybe 10-20 trees to pay its operating costs for an hour. In reality, they double that every minute. It would take hundreds of workers to do the same thing, and would end up costing more.

Question: Iran bought Sukhoi and sign an agrement for technology transfer and yet? Malaysia sent a man for a space travel how stupid is that. And now from the technology transfer Iran are able to built they own aircraft. What happened to K-economy that was introduced in 1999

Answer: Iran also bought it for political reasons. So that they can build a long range rocket, bla bla bla. However, they did it wisely. ( More wise if compare to our government)

Question: How does knowledge/technology transfer happen between two civilizations seperated by a time gap ? I mean, if at all much of human race in the present world is wiped of (request you to think practically as I say that few survive) and the whole process of recreation of a new civilization takes place from the scratch, i.e., the new race starts to learn concepts,number, science from the basics then how can we help them accelerate them to our level. 1.Can this is done by stroring it in CDs ? Looks impractical as you need a PC to understand the format. 2. Or pictures ? Looks logical and practical 3. Or any other form of storage ? Need some intelligent ideas. Please avoid stupid answers. If you feel that this question is funny, just laugh out but avoid ridiculing it by posting funny answers.

Answer: I read a novel about 10 years ago that went something like this: --set in future a few hundred years in Seattle (NW US) after nuclear holocaust --US froze 50 people in a time capsule with all this advanced equipment and data to reconstitute civilization --their adventures in the primitive future were interesting I think this is a common scifi scheme.

Question: I want to know about the technology of transfer video to film? I want to know what is the technology of VIDEO TO FILM transfer

Answer: converting video to film is a process much older than videotape itself. these were called kinescopes and were generated by a flying spot scanner. These were done on the fly so it was not possible to change the frame rate, however the main user of kinnys were other TV stations so 30 fps was perfect. Every TV station had a projector that worked at 30 fps for this and other "shot for television" films such as commercial adverts and news footage. With the ability for a computer to process the video, the 30 fps can be changed to 24 fps for theatrical movies. The film is still exposed the same way, with a kinascope. the scans slightly overlap like on an old B/W TV set so you don't see scan lines on the exposed film. Also RGB are scanned separately so there are no phosphor color dots either. If the film is Kodachrome, they the beams run through a color filter first. If it is Technicolor then the monochrome films are exposed separately. The new HD cameras that shoot 24p are ideal for conversion to theatrical film.

Question: Does anyone ever wonder if Stealth Fighterjet is a result of technology transfer from a crashed flying saucer?

Answer: Ask Bill Clinton, he's a ufo expert! Here's the wisdom that he had to share on the "heaven's gate" incident: "It's heartbreaking, sickening, uh, shocking...I think it's important that we get as many facts as we can about this...What in fact motivated those people. And uh...What all of us can do to make sure that there arn't any other people thinking in that same way out there in our country--that aren't so isolated that they can create a world for themselves that may justify that kind of thing. It's very troubling to me." Clinton on CNN 3/27/97 And if you don't believe Bill, try this link to those tricky guys over at lockheed martin's skunk works: http://www.lockheedmartin.com/wms/findPa…

Question: Does anyone ever wonder if Stealth Fighter is a result of technology transfer from a crashed flying saucer?

Answer: If you look at the history of stealthy aircraft (not only radar but sonic stealthy too) (eg quiet aircraft/helicopters) the evolution has been long and hard fought. No gimmees from the OoofOs or anyone else. A lot of R&D went into this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealth_tec…

Question: what are the mordern technology used for heat transfer in or out of my house? I am doing my science project about heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. I need to explain at least one piece of modern technology used for heat transfer in or out of my house. Please help me!

Answer: A heat pump can push heat either way: into a house in the winter and out of the house in the summer. It can move about 4 times more heat (energy) than it uses to run the pump. This makes it very cost effective to run. The downside is that it is more expensive to install. In the end a heat pump is more cost effective over its lifetime than either an oil furnace and/or air conditioning. Advances in the stirling engine that runs the pump will make these devices standard issue in new houses in the next 2 decades.

Question: Which is the best wireless data transfer technology available? In longer range? What would be the future in wireless networking , and what wireless technology has got the brightest future? Anybody would like to comment on this i am looking forward for answers.

Answer: WI:MAX is the best wireless data transfer tech available. It is very similar to cell phone broadcasting towers. Basically the signals will be broadcasted via towers and one can connect to the internet within the range depending on the number of towers.

Question: what is the advantages and disadvantages of technology transfer?

Answer: china gets to make usa nukes, compromise usa national security. advantages china can mass produce nuke and sell it back to the usa at a cheaper price.
