1% Aspiration, 99% Perspiration

Combining Innovation and Perspiration

For many design problems, the requirements and/or the available technology change quickly relative to the design cycle. As a result each new artifact designed involves some degree of innovation, and there is much that the designer must learn in the process of doing the design. The Computer Aided Productivity (CAP) Project at Rutgers has been carrying out a retrospective study of just such a tas...

Inspiration (and perspiration) from biology.

The exquisite structures produced by biological systems provide inspiration for the fabrication of nanomaterials. We sometimes forget, however, that Nature can provide muscle while serving as a Muse--a wide array of nanosystems are produced biologically that can be used for the design of functional materials. At the 2007 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting in Boston, Symposium MM (Biomolecu...

Perspiration modelling of the human foot

SATRA Technology wishes to use an “artificial foot” to replace those of live volunteers in comfort tests. The artificial foot has the size and shape of a real foot and is made of a heated aluminium core surrounded by a polyurethane and a porous-rubber layer. The tests involve equipping the artificial foot with hose (socks, stockings, etc.) and the shoes or boots to be tested, and subjecting it ...
