NEW TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION SERVICE

There's a new "wire service" intended for those who need to keep track of
significant advances in technology.   It would be of particular interest
to research institutes and manufacturing companies.

Called ALERT, it is produced by Technical Insights Inc., and is
disseminated by e-mail.  This is a commercial service (i.e., it costs
money), but it comes with a license allowing unlimited copying within a
site or a company.  Technical Insights also is publisher of INSIDE R&D and
other "technology intelligence" services.

Technical Insights has a technical staff that seeks out advances meeting
the following criteria.  According to the company, developments they
identify must:

   * be significant developments within their fields;  
   * be genuinely new technology;  
   * have near-term commercial potential; and  
   * be available for transfer.

The ALERT service is intended for managers of R&D, product development,
manufacturing, environmental protection, technical planning, and related
disciplines.  The ALERT bulletins are sent out weekly and you can choose
one or more subject areas described as follows:

1. Advances in Industrial R&D:  Significant advances -- across
   all major industrial fields -- ready to be commercialized, and
   that will lead to new products or processes. 

2. Advances in Materials and Coatings:  Developments useful to
   those seeking new products and/or looking for solutions or
   improvements to processing and manufacturing problems.  

3. Advances in Manufacturing Technology:  With special emphasis
   on sensor technology, assembly advances, and developments
   related to improved quality through better test and
   measurement.

4. Advances in Industrial Bioprocessing:  Bioremediation and ways
   to develop products such as specialty chemicals, alternative
   fuels, feedstocks, adhesives, biopolymers, cosmetics, and
   biosensors.

5. Advances in Genetic Technology:  Comprehensive information
   about commercially-viable genetic engineering advances with
   analysis of real-world competitive markets as well as
   strategic partnerships & patents.

Technical Insights's information comes mainly from direct contacts with
major laboratories around the world.  For each development they describe,
they include the name and telephone of the developers whom they have
talked with, so that users can follow up easily on items of interest.

Because of Technical Insights's focus on near-term, commercially viable new
applications, their info has little overlap with the scientific
literature.  Also, it has little overlap with trade publications, which
carry mostly info on new products, i.e., things that are already
commercialized.  

Technical Insights has been in the technology intelligence business for 22
years.  It is located at 32 N. Dean St., Englewood, NJ 07631-2807, USA,
