Original sentence: Over the years, the IBM Haifa Research Lab in Israel described itself as attempting  to strike a delicate balance between applied (relatively short-term) and long-term industrial research.Since its establishment in 1972, the  IBM Haifa Research Lab described itself as trying to be responsive to both the research goals of IBM and the specific needs of Israeli industry – from medical non-invasive diagnosis projects, to computer-controlled irrigation, scheduling El Al flight crews, and Hebrew voice recognition.The Lab aims to simultaneously meet the needs of the present day while helping shape the future of information technology.Today, its contributions play a role in emerging technologies such as IBM’s eLiza project for self-managing computer systems, iSCSI for the IBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i, the InfiniBand high bandwidth network protocol, Enterprise Storage Systems, and information retrieval engines
Edited sentence: Over the years, the IBM Haifa Research Lab in Israel has managed to strike a delicate balance between applied and long-term industrial research.Since its establishment in 1972, the  IBM Haifa Research Lab has always been responsive to both the research goals of IBM and the specific needs of Israeli industry – from medical non-invasive diagnosis projects, to computer-controlled irrigation, scheduling El Al flight crews, and Hebrew voice recognition.This combination enables the Lab to simultaneously meet the needs of the present day while helping shape the future of information technology.Today, its contributions play an important role in emerging technologies such as IBM’s eLiza project for self-managing computer systems, iSCSI for the IBM TotalStorage IP Storage 200i, the InfiniBand high bandwidth network protocol, Enterprise Storage Systems, and information retrieval engines
