TIS (Technology Information System) A Focal Point for Technology Transfer
Abstract
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is using the Technology Information System (TIS) to establish a focal point for technology transfer in support of its Office of Research and Technology Applications (LLNL/ORTA). TIS is slated to become the computer-based reference point for the identification of LLNL programs available for transfer to the public domain, as well as an effective means for communicating with the respective offices of other federal agencies: the Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC), the Technology Transfer Society (T2), the NASA Industrial Applications Centers, and a selected number of state and local offices. TIS is used for the creation, report generation, and graphic display of descriptive and numeric data files, the execution of interactive models calculating the performance of electric vehicles, electronic mail, interconnection to electronic word processors and typesetters, and nationwide networking. The system is fully self-guided, which also permits those without computer experience to search, extract, and post-process relevant information in a productive and timely manner. This type of analysis can be used to identify the status and direction of ongoing government-supported research and development (R&D) and to increase industrial productivity by technology transfer.
