| jauna tehnoloģija | new technology Electronic instruments and devices which have recently been developed and are been introduced into industry. New technologies have been introduced often in almost total ignorance or disregard of the biological and ecological systems that they subsequently disturb, and of the dynamic and evolving nature of living systems |
| materiālu tehnoloģija | 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 |

| plazmas tehnoloģija | 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 |
| pārtikas tehnoloģija | 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 |
| ražošanas tehnoloģija | process technology Any technical strategies, methods or tools used for the conception, design, development or implementation of any system |
| rekombinēta DNS tehnoloģija | 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) |
| saules enerģijas tehnoloģija | 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 |
| seismiskās tehnoloģijas | seismic engineering The study of the behavior of foundations and structures relative to seismic ground motion, and the attempt to mitigate the effect of earthquakes on structures |
| tehnoloģijas izvēle | selection of technology No definition needed |
| tehnoloģijas nodošana | 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 |
