Now that we're in an age of microminiaturization, we have a new problem in defining a vehicle.

"These roaches sure know a thing or two about microminiaturization," John said, slipping the sphere into his pocket.

One of the most important ideas derived from space technology is miniaturization which led to microminiaturization and subminiaturization.

Microminiaturization.

On the Moon there would be vacuum cementing, the bugaboo of the Belt's microminiaturization industries.

- thought John - "even at the present level of microminiaturization, it would have taken a skyscraper of a computer to simulate human intelligence.

The Dendarii apparently went in heavily for microminiaturization along Betan lines.

"Space spinoff in postoperative care: a Doppler ultrasound stethoscope is an impressive example of microminiaturization.

"Microminiaturization gadget freaks," explained Marsloff.

"Doppler Ultrasound Stethoscope: another microminiaturization spinoff.

SciTech - Picoelectronics Picoelectronics: Transitional stage on the way to true organics in electronic microminiaturization.

The communicators were radically altered, as by the 1970s the microminiaturization of electronics convinced Roddenberry that the bulky handheld devices of the television series were no longer believable.

The division ultimately produced the Monica family of microcomputers, the D-17B Minuteman I computer, and the D-37B and D-37C Minuteman II computer, in which microminiaturization reduced weight by two-thirds.

The Information Age formed by capitalizing on the computer microminiaturization advances, with a transition spanning from the advent of the personal computer in the late 1970s, to the Internet's reaching a critical mass in the early 1990s, and the adoption of such technology by the public in the two decades after 1990.

"Here is a way to spot space-research spinoffs: If it involves microminiaturization of any sort, minicomputers, miniaturized long-life power sources, highly reliable microswitches, remotely-controlled manipulators, image enhancers, small and sophisticated robotics or cybernetics, then, no matter where you find the item, at a critical point in its development it was part of our space program.
