Progress of Technology to Invention, Patent and Industry

The systematic idea of technology/engineering is sought to be useful to practice, in the progress of “science → technology → invention →Industry･society” from the viewpoint to make the most of it. As the method to seek the above, two coordinates are considered. One is the factors derived from the categorization of physical-object and material types of technology, as combination of things, shape, structure, physical properties, chemical properties and transformation of properties. Another is “physical/chemical principle, its use and ways of its use”. Based on the above two-dimensional arrangement(plane), analysis is made concerning the three-dimensional consideration with scales on the vertical axis for evaluation etc. Passage of time is considered also. Discussion is made applying this method to the technological progress. When the technology is patented, it becomes a legal right. In this book, the preferable direction of technology is thought to use effectively the renewable energy(solar heat etc.), to use the circular type, to keep increase of entropy (randomness) down, and to analyze and use microorganism.
