Abstract

Equipment development is often driven by the desire to escape from the status quo and move ahead. This desire is counteracted by fear of failure and reluctance/resistance to change. Nevertheless, innovation does occur due to the initiative of individuals and the support and assistance of colleagues inside and outside the “company.” If not for the innovation of individuals, we as humankind could very well still be living in the stone age.
