Technology
Methyl Oxide
Lorillian children are born able to breathe only this particular gas. There is not enough methyl oxide in certain atmospheres where Lorillians live (Rigel X, for example), so Lorillian mothers wean their children to other natural elemental vapors by age four with respirators.[1]

Hydrogen
Stored aboard starships in the form of deuterium, used as principal reactant in the warp propulsion system, and as principal fuel source for the impulse propulsion system and auxiliary fusion reactors.[1]

Hutzlite 27
Plutonium derivative treated to minimize toxicity for humanoid life forms. Used for radioisotope source and certain biomedical and theraputic applications.[1]

Hoffmeisterite Compound 239
Oxidizing explosive used to bind free oxygen in a confined space for emergency firefighting applications. Also used to provide oxygen-free environments for industrial processes.[1]

Grappler
A retractable arm-and-cable piece of equipment attached to the Enterprise NX-01. The grappler was used to deploy equipment and to grasp and reel in objects, such as shuttles.[1]

Eisilium
A large amount of this rare mineral was discovered inside a comet encountered by the Enterprise NX-01.[1]

Echo III
Subspace relay satellite. When Trip Tucker and Malcolm Reed were stranded in space, Tucker suggested getting their adrift shuttlepod close to Echo III, which would relay their distress call. Reed believed it was too far.[1]

Dilithium
Dilithium (TNG-147)
Crystalline substance used in warp propulsion systems to regulate the matter/antimatter reactions that provide the energy necessary for faster-than-light speed. Naturally occurring dilithium was extremely rare and was mined on only a few planets, such as Coridan,[1] Troyius[2] and Rura Penthe.[4] In 2286, a method of recrystalizing dilithium was discovered, reducing the need for mining new deposits of the mineral.[3]

Computer Interface (TNG-178)
Method of interacting with a computer system. The computers aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 utilized tactile buttons and knobs, as well as motion-sensitive displays and consoles.[1] By the 24th century, touch-sensitive display panels had largely replaced the tactile interfaces,[2] though there were also some uses for holographic interfaces.[3]
