SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS
Israel is having difficulty ab-
sorbing in a relatively short time
the vast wealth of scientific and
engineering know-how which has
come to our shores from the for-
mer Soviet Union. Yet a great
deal of it is indeed filtering
through, influencing industrial
and high-tech developments and
being absorbed in our universi-
ties.
Much depends, too, on the per-
sonality and initiative of the Rus-
sians themselves. Some accept
their new fate and sweep streets.
Some compromise and take jobs
in other occupations. And some
insist on thinking big - bigger
even than Israel.
One such group here in the
greater Haifa area has mobilized
a team which has set its sights
on billion dollar prospects in the
wide world. If talent, imagina-
tion, ambition and initiative
count for anything, this group,
which calls itself the Israel In-
ventive Center for Advanced
Composite Materials (ISCOM)
may yet make itself widely heard.
The moving spirit is Dr. Yaa-
cov Epstein, author of six books,
almost 100 scientific articles and
holder of over 50 patents regis-
tered in Russia, and United
States, Japan, Israel and various
European countries. His asso-
ciates have an almost equally im-
pressive background.
Their field of specialization:
development of technologies for
producing advanced composite
materials and structures, and
their application in air craft,
transport, military and industri-
al buildings, etc. Much of this en-
ters new fields of technology. Let
us not forget that, despite all the
belittling of Soviet science, it is
they who launched the first
Sputnik and showed the world
the way to space exploration - a
field in which they were over-
taken only because of the vaster
resources of the West.
A typical project of ISCOM:
development of an innovative sys-
tem for drilling and pumping of
oil from the floor of the sea, with-
out the need for the sea platforms
now in use, which are both ex-
pensive and dangerous. The sys-
tem can be assembled in
shipyards, conveyed in conven-
tional ships to the site of the
prospective underwater oil fields,
and installed in a few hours,
without the help of divers of sub-
marine robots.
The trend today is toward oil
exploration in the deep seas, but
it has been held back by the costs.
Experts project that in the next
10 years the market for equip-
ment and services in this area
will run from 40 to 50 billion dol-
