besides solving <strong>the</strong> problem <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> diluted liquid waste management, containing heavy metal
(silver and copper) ions, by recovering <strong>the</strong> resulted by-products (metallic copper and silver), one
can cover a part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> costs involved by <strong>the</strong> process <strong>of</strong> liquid waste purification;
besides solving <strong>the</strong> problem <strong>of</strong> galvanic sludge management, one can obtain, as by-product, <strong>the</strong>
special concrete tiles, whose selling can cover a part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> costs involved by <strong>the</strong> decontamination
process.
Technology no. 5:
according to <strong>the</strong> client’s needs, <strong>the</strong> photonic field generator can be produced in a large range <strong>of</strong>
dimensions and configurations, due to <strong>the</strong> fact that, when drawing-up <strong>the</strong> final product, one starts
from <strong>the</strong> photonic field generator unit, which is multiplied and set in a certain configuration. A
generator unit is made up from a halogen lamp and a flat-elliptical or a parabolic mirror. The
number <strong>of</strong> units depends on <strong>the</strong> surface <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> heating / drying object while <strong>the</strong> configuration
(geometry) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> photonic field generation depends on <strong>the</strong> shape <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> heating / drying object;
<strong>the</strong> heating may be carried out within a temperature range between room temperature and
approx. 1000° C;
temperature control is simple and easy (by controlling <strong>the</strong> electric current that crosses <strong>the</strong>
halogen lamp);
<strong>the</strong>re is no physical contact between <strong>the</strong> photonic field generator and <strong>the</strong> heated object;
<strong>the</strong> photonic field generator has no moving parts;
according to <strong>the</strong> heating / drying surface, <strong>the</strong>re are two possible variants. Thus, <strong>the</strong> generator can
be mobile (in this case, it is moved along <strong>the</strong> piece which is to be heated / dried. Example: at <strong>the</strong>
quick drying <strong>of</strong> ships, after painting) or fixed (in which case <strong>the</strong> pieces to be dried are moved on a
conveyor belt - for example, through a tunnel-shaped generator);
<strong>the</strong> drying process is rapid, uniform and does not lead to changes in coating layer properties
(subject to specified temperature range);
<strong>the</strong> conversion yields <strong>of</strong> electric energy into <strong>the</strong>rmal energy and <strong>of</strong> its transfer are much higher,
leading to a very advantageous costs-quality ratio as well as to significantly lower operating costs;
low operating costs;
non-pollutant technology.
5. Conclusions
The creation <strong>of</strong> greater transparency in <strong>the</strong> process <strong>of</strong> identifying and reporting <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Intellectual
Capital can improve <strong>the</strong> quality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dialogue between investors and research intensive enterprises,
as well <strong>the</strong> internal process <strong>of</strong> managing resource allocation and augment <strong>the</strong> finance available to
carry out Research, Development and Innovation.
With this paper, <strong>the</strong> authors intended to emphasize <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> creating and transferring
Knowledge from a potent knowledge creator to those who can actually benefit from implementing it:
<strong>the</strong> SMEs, <strong>the</strong> environment and <strong>the</strong> human beings living in a less polluted world.
The authors also mentioned that this was a national founding supported project and <strong>the</strong>refore, <strong>the</strong>
costs implied for SMEs were smaller (45% <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> total amount). This is highly important since
articulating <strong>the</strong> value <strong>of</strong> Intellectual Capital is problematic and <strong>the</strong>refore, attracting capital for
investments is much harder to achieve than for investments in tangible assets.
The presented technologies have a lot <strong>of</strong> advantages, both for <strong>the</strong> buyer and <strong>the</strong> environment. The
results obtained from <strong>the</strong>ir implementation were far more important than <strong>the</strong> initially expected ones:
<strong>the</strong> impact on <strong>the</strong> environment was consistently improved, in <strong>the</strong> way <strong>of</strong> diminishing <strong>the</strong> bad one and,
on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, <strong>the</strong> costs involved were at forecast level, with a variation <strong>of</strong> +0,43%, which did not
represent a significant increase.
The history <strong>of</strong> economic evolution has showed that <strong>the</strong>re is no guarantee <strong>of</strong> a continuous evolution by
producing only what is vendible at <strong>the</strong> moment, but through investments in innovative products,
especially in an economy in stagnation or decrease situation.
