Computing

Technology Marketroid jargon for "software", "hardware", "protocol" or something else too technical to name. The most flagrant abuse of this word has to be "Windows NT" (New Technology) - Microsoft's attempt to make the incorporation of some ancient concepts into their OS sound like real progress. The irony, and even the meaning, of this seems to be utterly lost on Microsoft whose Windows 2000 start-up screen proclaims "Based on NT Technology", (meaning yet another version of NT, including some Windows 95 features at last).

Specialty Definition: BattleTech:Technology

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Technology in the BattleTech universe is quite diverse, including:

BattleMechs

A BattleMech ('Mech), in the science fiction of BattleTech, is a war robot ~10-12meters in height, and up to 100 tons in weight. These vehicles are powered by fusion reactors and are capable of fighting underwater and in outer space. Some could also transform into flying aerospace fighters.

BattleMechs use a muscle-like artificial fiber called myomer to articulate their legs to move. Powerful gyroscopes provide stability, and the pilot controls the 'Mech with a neurohelmet, which effectively links the 'Mech's controls into the pilot's nerve system.

BattleMechs are armed with a frightening array of weaponry, including lasers, short, medium, and long range missiles(Interestingly, BattleTech missiles are far shorter ranged than their modern counterparts. This was explained as guidance technology being lost over time, through the Succession Wars.), machine guns, autocannons, gauss rifless, flamerss, particle projection cannons (PPCs) and the 'Mech's own arms and legs. A single 'Mech can easily destroy a city. A BattleMech's only true rival is another 'Mech - artillery, aircraft, and tanks are nearly worthless against them without BattleMech support or a strong advantage in numbers.

Dropships

While Jumpships move units and other hardware from star system to star system, it falls to the dropships to move them inside the system. Almost all dropships are capable of landing on a planet, and they are the primary method of moving goods and armies.

HyperPulse Generators

The HyperPulse Generator (HPG) arrays are based upon numerous worlds all across the Inner Sphere. Comstar owns and operates these, collecting payment from those who wish to transmit messages. The FTL devices are the primary means of interstellar communications, and ComStar has a virtual monopoly on their usage.

As transmission is expensive, messages are frequently bundled into batches of hundreds, sent simultaneously. So, while the transmission of HPG array messages is done nearly instantaneously, it may be days, weeks, or months before a message is sent; one can pay a higher fee in order for "priority service". The maximum range of an HPG pulse is 50 light-years.

Jumpships

Jumpships are what make interstellar exploration, colonization, and warfare possible. Dropships dock to the Jumpship, which is almost always positioned either at the nadir or zenith points above or below a star, where gravitational influence is neglible and FTL travel is possible. To jump, the Jumpship calculates the correct course and field strength and fires the Kearny-Fuschida drive, which instantly transports the ship to the projected star system, up to 30 light-years away.

It is possible for a jumpship to use "pirate points" which are closer to the planets--and are caused as the planetary bodies of a system orbit, cancelling one another's gravitational influence--but these points are much harder to navagate to compared to the traditional nadir and zenith points around a star.

OmniMechs

OmniMechs are essentially the Clan version of BattleMechs. They are generally of superior technology, and their weaponry and equipment may be mounted and unmounted in a modular manner, allowing MechWarriors to customize their war machine's loadouts to emphasise their own skills, making them all the deadlier foes to face in battle.

Technology

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Technology is the art and application of tools, machines, materials and processes to solve human problems. As a human activity, technology predates both science and engineering.

The term technology often characterises new inventions and gadgets using recently-derived scientific principles and processes. However, even very old inventions such as the wheel exemplify technology.

Technology in ideology

Very often, technology and engineering circles assume that "new" means "better". The notion of appropriate technology developed in the 20th century to describe situations where it was not desirable to use very new technologies or those that required access to some centralized infrastructure or parts or skills imported from elsewhere. The eco-village movement evolved in part due to this concern. Intermediate technology, more of an economics concern, refers to compromises between central and expensive technologies of developed nations and those which developing nations find most effective to deploy given an excess of labour and scarcity of cash. In general, an "appropriate" technology will also be "intermediate".

Those who promote transhumanism, posthumanism or technological singularity make exactly contrary assumptions. Such ideologues regard technological development as morally good.

In economics, definitions or assumptions of progress or of growth often derive from one of the above assumptions. Challenging prevailing assumptions about technology and its usefulness has led to ideas like uneconomic growth or measuring well-being. One could view these, and economics itself, as technologies, specifically, as persuasion technology - a concern covered in its own separate article.

In warfare, technological escalation is often a feature of an arms race, and may result in new military technology.

In fiction, fictional technology often plays a role in the story, especially in science fiction, which depends on such ideas.

Technology in Atlas Shrugged

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Some of the technology discussed in Atlas Shrugged includes:

Real-world technology: airplanes, automobiles, diesel engines, phonograph records, radios, telephones, television and traffic signals.

Fictional technology: refractor rays (Gulch mirage), Rearden Metal, sonic death ray (Project X), voice activated door lock (Gulch power station), static electricity-powered motor, palm-activated door lock (Galt's NY lab), shale-oil drilling, portable X-Ray machine and nerve-induction torture machine

Traffic Signals

Early on, the book mentions the "screech" of a traffic signal as it changes. This implies the older technology of mechanical traffic signals, the kind which displayed a pennant or flag indicating stop or go, and the inverse indicator in the opposite direction. Traffic signals using lights have been around for over 40 years, so anything of this type is very old compared to today.

Rearden Metal

Rearden metal is a fictitious metal alloy invented by Hank Rearden. It is lighter than traditional steel but stronger, and is to steel what steel was to iron. It is described as greenish-blue. Among its ingredients are iron and copper.

Initially no one is willing to use Rearden metal because no one wants to stick his neck out and be the first to try it. Finally, Dagny Taggart places an order for Rearden Metal when she needs rails to rebuild the dying Rio Norte Line.

The first thing made from Rearden metal is a Bracelet.

Rearden metal is mentioned in sections 114, 121, 131, 148 and 161.

Using recombinant DNA technology, a transgenic mouse has been engineered whose bone marrow is protected from the toxic effects of chemotherapy by expression of the MDR 1 gene. This animal system allows rapid screening of drugs which inhibit the multidrug transporter and heralds a new era of using transgenic animals for pharmacologic screening. Multidrug resistance resulting from expression of an energy-dependent drug efflux pump encoded by the human MDR gene is a major impediment to effective cancer therapy.
