Twelve intelligence primers were provided as follows: Advances in SiGe high speed devices, Optoelectronics: which way to the future?; Highlights of the international electron devices meeting; New methods for building nanostructures; Major players focus on WDM, Wideband optical networks; Prototype GaAs infrared detector arrays now available; Photoluminescence in porous silicon structures; Advances in InGaAs laser technology outstrip applications; The use of muons in structural studies; Cusp formation in SiGe epitaxial growth fronts; Optical spectrosocopy to monitor epitaxial growth; First Sub-femtosecond lasers.

13. The Canadian Manufacturers Association conducted a survey in 1995 of manufacturing firms and came to similar conclusions. They published their results in a report entitled Manufacturing our future which can be obtained from them. Another result of their survey is that manufacturers have difficulty in obtaining relevant intelligence about how externally developed technologies should best be employed.
