Abstract:The aim of this essay is to present a model of ethical technology management which assumes that elites who make the system design and development decisions should minimize the risks to stakeholders rather than maximize gains for their organizations. Given the unsettled state in ehical theory a familiar substantive Social, Economic, Environmental and Rights value set or ‘SEER’ ethic is presented. To enable foresight of the negative SEER effects of innovations a technology life cycle is introduced. A cognate issue life cycle is presented to facilitate the ethical resolution of SEER issues associated with such effects. The resultant problem of increased front end load delays and costs, due to ongoing system redesign and stakeholder discussions is found to preferable to high ‘rear end load’ crisis costs, e.g., of the Ford Pinto, Exxon Valdez, Dalkon IUD Shield, and the Union Carbide Bhopal plant. Furthermore the model promises improved returns on the capital investments involved, indications for further research in ethics, economics and organizational theory are noted.“Technology is not preordained. There are choices to be made.”—Ursula Franklin, The Real World of Technology

Man-made boards often made use of waste wood materials. China is one of the worlds largest manufacturers and consumers of man-made board applications. Application of the law of evolution with a S-shaped curve could contribute essentially to the accuracy of the long-term forecast. This research seeks to determine the current stage and the position on the S-curve of man-made board technology in China on the TRIZ evolution theory and introduce a methodology which combines patent analysis and technology life cycle forecasting to find a niche space of man-made technology development in China.

This study aims to propose a technology forecasting approach based on hierarchical S-curves. The proposed approach uses holistic forecasting by evaluating the S-curves of sub-technologies as well as the main technology under concern. A case study of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technologies is conducted to demonstrate how the proposed approach works in practice. This is the first study that applies hierarchical S-curves to technology forecasting of unmanned aerial vehicle technologies in the literature. The future trend of the UAV technologies is analysed in detail through a hierarchical S-curve approach. Hierarchical S-curves are also utilised to investigate the sub-technologies of the UAV. In addition, the technology development life cycle of technology is assessed by using the three indexes namely, (1) the current technological maturity ratio (TMR), (2) estimating the number of potential patents that could be granted in the future (PPA), and (3) forecasting the expected remaining life (ERL). The results of this study indicate that the UAV technologies and their sub-technologies are at the growth stage in the technology life cycle, and most of the developments in UAV technology will have been completed by 2048. Hence, these technologies can be considered emerging technologies.

Abstract For SRAMs with high logic complexity, hard defects, design debug, and soft defects have to be tackled all at once early on in the technology development while innovative integration schemes in front-end of the line are being validated. This paper presents a case study of a high-complexity static random access memory (SRAM) used during a 32nm technology development phase. The case study addresses several novel and unrelated fail mechanisms on a product-like SRAM. Corrective actions were put in place for several process levels in the back-end of the line, the middle of the line, and the front-end of the line. These process changes were successfully verified by demonstrating a significant reduction of the Vmax and Vmin nest array block fallout, thus allowing the broader development team to continue improving random defectivity.

Aplikasi rekening bersama adalah aplikasi yang dibangun  untuk menghubungkan antara pembeli, penjual dan admin rekening bersama yang terintegrasi dengan baik, guna menghindari adanya kecurangan antara pembeli dan penjual. Penelitian ini merupakan pengembangan dari penelitian terdahulu, yang mana penelitian terdahulu mengggunakan dua komunikasi yaitu front end communication dan back end communication. Front end communication merupakan komunikasi antara pembeli, penjual dan admin rekening bersama yang dilakukan melalui aplikasi yang dibangun  sedangkan  back end communication merupakan komunikasi   yang dilakukan diluar dari aplikasi tersebut misalnya komunikasi antara admin rekeningg bersama dengan  kurir/ perusahaan pengiriman barang yang dilakukan merlalui telepon dan fax.  Pada penelitian ini  komuniksi antara pembeli, penjual dan admin  rekening bersama  dan  kurir/perusahaan pengiriman barang,  dilakukan hanya melalui aplikasi rekening bersama ( front end communication) . Dengan metode WDLC ( Web Development Life Cycle ). , dimana tahap pertama diawali dengan menganalisis dan mengevaluasi kembali aplikasi terdahulu untuk ditelaah lebih jauh  serta melanjutkan pengembangan perancangan dan  pengembangan aplikasi. Tahap ujicoba dilakukan dengan mengakses sebagai pembeli, penjual dan  admin rekening bersama dan kurir . Hasil yang didapat bahwa komunikasi antara pembeli, penjual dan admin rekening bersama  serta kurir dapat dilakukan secara frond end communiacation  atau komunikasi dilakukan hanya melalui aplikasi rekening bersama saja.
