| Catalan | English |
| avaluació de tecnologia | evaluation of technology No definition needed |
| darrera tecnologia | state of the art Everything made available to the public by means of a written or oral description, by use or in any other way before the date of the patent application, or an application filed in a foreign country the priority of which is validly claimed |
| selecció de tecnologia | selection of technology No definition needed |
| tecnologia ambiental | environmental technology |
| tecnologia de control de la contaminació | pollution control technology Methods used to reduce the amount of contaminants discharged from a source |
| tecnologia de DNA recombinant | recombinant DNA technology Techniques and practical applications associated with recombinant DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid artificially introduced into a cell that alters the genotype and phenotype of the cell and is replicated along with the natural DNA) |
| tecnologia de la construcció | construction technology No definition needed |
| tecnologia de la construcció | building technology No definition needed |
| tecnologia de la informació | information technology The systems, equipment, components and software required to ensure the retrieval, processing and storage of information in all centres of human activity (home, office, factory, etc.), the application of which generally requires the use of electronics or similar technology |
| tecnologia de materials | materials technology Any technical means or equipment used for the production and optimization of material goods that consist of any of a diverse range of properties, either alone or in combination, such as glass, metal, plastics and ceramics |
| tecnologia de nivell baix | low-level technology Any relatively unsophisticated technical equipment or method with an amplitude or functionality below what is available in a similar or comparable system |
| tecnologia de plasma | plasma technology 1. Common name for a number of industrial applications of plasma, such as: etching of semiconductor chips, deposition of silicon for solar cell production, deposition of silicon dioxide for passivation of surfaces, activation of surfaces, melting and welding with plasma arcs as well as plasma chemistry. 2. Plasma technology consists of minute gas-filled cells, which emit light when an electric current is channelled through them |
| tecnologia del carbó | coal technology The processing of coal to make gaseous and liquid fuels |
| tecnologia dels aliments | food technology The application of science and engineering to the refining, manufacturing, and handling of foods; many food technologists are food scientists rather than engineers |
| tecnologia dels processos | process technology Any technical strategies, methods or tools used for the conception, design, development or implementation of any system |
| tecnologia d'energia solar | solar energy technology Solar energy can be converted to useful work or heat by using a collector to absorb solar radiation, allowing much of the sun's radiant energy to be converted to heat. This heat can be used directly in residential, industrial, and agricultural operations; converted to mechanical or electrical power; or applied in chemical reactions for production of fuels and chemicals |
| tecnologia energètica | energy technology |
| tecnologia integrada de protecció del medi ambient | integrated environmental protection technology Technologies that meet environmental objectives by incorporating pollution prevention concepts in their design. Integrated environmental control strategies introduced in the early design stages of a process, rather than an end-of-pipe control option introduced in the later stages, improve the technical and economic performance of a process |
| tecnologia multimèdia | multimedia technology Any technical means used to combine text, sound, still or animated images and video in computers and electronic products, often allowing audience interactivity |
| tecnologia neta | clean technology Industrial process which causes little or no pollution |
| tecnologia silenciosa | noise-free technology Sound is radiated both as air-borne and as structure-borne; most sources produce both, thus various noise attenuation principles must be employed. Measures include: the replacement of components with quieter parts and material; the enclosure of particularly noisy components; the selection of quieter types of fan; the replacement of noisy compressed-air nozzles with quieter types; the choice of quieter transmission and cooling systems |
| tecnología de tub terminal | end-of-pipe technology An approach to pollution control which concentrates upon effluent treatment or filtration prior to discharge into the environment, as opposed to making changes in the process giving rise to the wastes |
| transferència de tecnologia | technology transfer The transfer of development and design work: 1. from a parent company to a subsidiary, perhaps in another nation where it will be paid for in repatriated profits or royalties; 2. from one country to another as a form of aid to help promote development and sustainable growth. Many nations have made great progress on the strength of technology transfer |
