Weekly interactions among and between the sub-groups enabled high- impact experimentally oriented research mission, while focusing on the common 10x10x10 goal of DR-ETD projects. (Namely 10x cheaper, 10x more capable and >10year life). Over the 2 year period we created early prototypes for the mesh networking of wireless meters, wireless thermostats and wireless temperature nodes. When in final production by commercial entities (in the mid-to-late part of this decade) the OEM costs for the meters and thermostats should be in the “few-dollars” range and the cost for the nodes in the “sub-one-dollar” range.

  • Why We Need Better Ethics for Emerging Technologies
    Ethics and Information Technology (2005) 7:111–119 Ó Springer 2006 DOI 10.1007/s10676-006-0008-0 Why we need better ethics for emerging technologies James H. Moor Department of Philosophy, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Technological revolutions are dissected into three stages: the introduction stage, the permeation stage, and the power stage. The information revolution is a primary example of this tripartite model. A hypothesis about ethics is proposed, namely, ethical problems increase as technological revolutions progress toward and into the power stage. Genetic technology, nanotechnology, and neurotechnology are good can- didates for impending technological revolutions. Two reasons favoring their candidacy as revolutionary are their high degree of malleability and their convergence. Assuming the emerging technologies develop into mutually enabling revolutionary technologies, we will need better ethical responses to cope with them. Some suggestions are offered about how our approach to ethics might be improved. Introduction The main argumentation in this paper is to establish that we are living in a period of technology New technological products are emerging. We learn that promises dramatic changes and in which it is about them regularly in the news. Information not satisfactory to do ethics as usual. Major tech- technology continually spawns new and popular nological upheavals are coming. Better ethical applications and accessories. Indeed, much of the thinking in terms of being better informed and news itself is produced and transmitted through better ethical action in terms of being more proac- ever newer and more diverse information technol- tive are required. ogy.

  • Frontier Technologies for Sustainable Development: Overview
    United Nations E/2018/50 Economic and Social Council Distr.: General 19 April 2018 Original: English 2018 session 27 July 2017–26 July 2018 Agenda item 5 High-level segment World Economic and Social Survey 2018: Frontier technologies for sustainable development Overview* Summary World Economic and Social Survey 2018 reviews the advances in frontier technologies — including automation, robotics, renewable energy technologies, electric vehicles, biotechnologies and artificial intelligence — and analyses their economic, social and environmental impact. These technologies present immense potentials for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, fostering growth, prosperity and environmental sustainability. They also pose significant risks of unemployment, underemployment and rising income and wealth inequality and raise new ethical and moral concerns. The Survey identifies policy measures at national levels with the capacity to both maximize the potential of these technologies and mitigate their risks, thereby striking a balance among economic efficiency, equity and ethical considerations. It makes a case for providing incentives for the development, diffusion and adoption of appropriate and enabling technologies, while increasing investments in education, skills development and social protection. Recognizing that no nation can alone manage the impact of frontier technologies, which transcend sectoral and national boundaries, the Survey calls for global collective action to confront the challenge of technological breakthroughs so as to ensure that they benefit all and that no one is left behind. It highlights the imperatives of greater international cooperation, particularly in identifying and designating the technologies most needed for sustainable development as global public goods, reflecting a commitment to shared and differentiated responsibilities among all nations. __________________ * The present overview summarizes the key findings presented in World Economic and Social Survey 2018.

  • Patents and the Fourth Industrial Revolution
    Patents and the Fourth Industrial Revolution The inventions behind digital transformation | December 2017 In co-operation with Foreword Dear readers, A new era of technological development characterised by digital transformation is rapidly gathering momentum – one which is frequently referred to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), or, in some regions, as Industry 4.0. The consensus on 4IR is still forming but the fact that it is referred to as a ‘revolution’ implies that its impact is expected to be far-reaching. Businesses, industry, analysts, policy makers and many others are starting to discuss in greater detail its characteristics and the challenges and opportunities the revolution presents. As an organisation at the forefront of technology, the EPO has the tools and skills to support this dialogue with a clear picture of evolving trends: the EPO is one of the leading suppliers of patent information, and the solid data that we hold can help us to reliably identify and follow developments as we head into this period of great change. Our ESPACENET database, for example, provides free access online to a wealth of more than 100 million patent documents containing data about inventions and technological advances from around the world. And with PATSTAT, we have put one of the most advanced statistical tools for analysing technology trends in patents at the disposition of the public. Paired with the expertise of our patent examiners, these tools are a reliable resource for conducting meaningful studies on the emergence of technology trends and their development over time and economic regions. We have employed our data and skills to produce this publication, the EPO’s first landscaping study related to patents and 4IR technologies.

  • 1. Smart Manufacturing 2. Enabling Technologies and Implementation
    IDENTIFYING PERFORMANCE ASSURANCE CHALLENGES FOR SMART MANUFACTURING Moneer Helu*, Katherine Morris, Kiwook Jung, Kevin Lyons, Swee Leong Engineering Laboratory National Institute of Standards and Technology 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 8260, Gaithersburg, MD 20899 U.S.A. (*) Corresponding Author: [email protected] / +1 3019753654 Abstract Smart manufacturing has the potential to address many of the challenges faced by industry. However, the manufacturing community often needs assistance to leverage available technologies to improve their systems. To assure the performance of these technologies, this paper proposes a shared knowledge base that collects problem areas, solutions, and best practices for manufacturing technology. An Implementation Risk Assessment Framework (IRAF) is also described to identify the primary weaknesses of technologies in specific manufacturing contexts. Such approaches have the potential to stimulate new ideas and drive standardization activities critical to scale up and deploy smart manufacturing technologies successfully and quickly. Keywords: Smart manufacturing; Performance assurance; Risk assessment; Standards 1. Smart manufacturing Many concerns drive manufacturing innovation, including increased global competition; increased demand for a greater variety of products that are created faster, better, and greener; and increased scarcity of technical manufacturing talent [1-4]. Smart manufacturing addresses these concerns through the combination of advanced manufacturing capabilities and digital technologies introduced into every phase of the product life cycle [1,4,5]. Digital technologies have enabled the development of cyber-physical systems that promote interoperability between systems across the enterprise [1,5,6]. Such capability allows manufacturers to generate more and better intelligence through the efficient and effective use of data and information across many manufacturing systems [7].
