TOT
these immortal and Godly words are used with majestic generosity and at exponential scale. if there is anything discussed our members across the international boundaries would drop them with single minded finality.
for the TOT enthusiasts what doesn't matter is, if the touted craft, gun, ship, space cruiser and automatic back scratchier fits the needs of your country or not? if there is something already there doing the same job or not? is there technical know how available or not? are there personnel and resources spare or not? is the country of origin willing to share it or not? is it economically viable or not?
for the TOT enthusiasts what matter's is, it is cool looking, there is some exceptional photography done for the said machine or object. its said numbers and "specs" look "awesome".
TOT this
TOT that
if it moves , we must get TOT that
whats that? we must get TOT of that

It is closely related to (and may arguably be considered a subset of) knowledge transfer. Horizontal transfer is the movement of technologies from one area to another. At present[when?]transfer of technology (TOT) is primarily horizontal. Vertical transfer occurs when technologies are moved from applied research centers to research and development departments.[1]
Technology brokers are people who discovered how to bridge the emergent worlds and apply scientific concepts or processes to new situations or circumstances.[2]A related term, used almost synonymously, is "technology valorisation". While conceptually the practice has been utilized for many years (in ancient times,Archimedes was notable for applying science to practical problems), the present-day volume of research, combined with high-profile failures at Xerox PARC and elsewhere[citation needed], has led to a focus on the process it self
