Yields from the process are such that the researchers think they need only double the efficiency of the prototype that they have created in order to have a commercial product.
When the three researchers programmed their model to arrange PS10's mirrors in front of the tower in a segment from such a spiral, they both improved the efficiency of the collection process and saved space.
Developers of private spacecraft can already obtain a license from the FAA to test their rockets, but the process for obtaining such a permit is lengthy and complicated.
And there have lately been a lot of decisions--particularly for cancer drugs such as Sutent from Pfizer or Avastin from Genentech--where the process has seemed timely, well oiled, even predictable.
Yet that, alas, is exactly what you would expect to happen if a president leaves the details to be written by Democrats in Congress, barely reaches out to the admittedly obstructive Republicans on issues such as tort reform, and remains magisterially aloof from much of the process.
FuelCell Energy touts the ability of its fuel cells to directly process a hydrocarbon, such as natural gas or waste gas from a sewage treatment facility.
Although the process to produce ethanol from switchgrass was more complex than using food crops such as wheat or corn, the so-called "second generation" biofuel could produce much higher energy yields per tonne because it utilised the whole plant rather than just the seeds.
Unlike previous projects at Microsoft and the University of Washington, the team at UNC used a home PC (albeit one with four GPUs) to process millions of images pulled from the Internet and construct 3D models of such landmarks as the Colosseum and the Roman baths at Sagalassos (above).
Innovations such as ATMs or the Internet enhance this process, leading to greater output from fewer inputs.
It is the process of moving water from an area with a low concentration of dissolved material, such as salt, to a place with a high concentration, by passing through a membrane.
Unpack the computer, hook it up and lead it through the sometimes cumbersome startup process, which may involve such delights as having to enter DNS server information from your Internet service provider.
For example, the State Department concluded that if Keystone XL is not built, oil sands production will be diverted to other markets (such as China), and the refineries in Texas will continue to process bitumen apace from offshore platforms.

Cherenkov telescopes such as the Hess array in Namibia or the Magic facility in the Canary Islands catch this process directly from the atmosphere when the particles first arrive at Earth.
The Center for Security Policy has undertaken to develop materials relevant to such a damage assessment, drawing from unclassified sources and the considerable experience of its associates with the policy-making process and security procedures.
