Abstract
Up to now research centres and companies have developed their scientific disciplines and technologies within disparate sectors. Today, the trend is to combine these individual disciplines to meet a common goal. Converging technology represents the application and integration of complementary disciplines towards new fields. The technologies applied in various scientific fields often overlap; however, their union can result in much more than the sum of the single component, leading to unexpected and novel solutions.
