New Photosensitizer Design Concept: Polymerization-Enhanced Photosensitization

New Methods of Polymerization

Every addition polymerization process involves two fundamental steps: initiation and propagation. Termination is also an important step but in some processes termination may be avoided by a judicious choice of experimental conditions. In the exploration of either new methods of polymerization or the development of existing methods attention may be concentrated on either the initiation process o...

The Shaw Type Compressor a New Concept in Compressor Design

Global Dynamics: a new concept for design of dynamical behavior

The global dynamics, a novel concept for design of human/humanoid behavior is proposed. The principle of this concept is to exploit the body dynamics and apply control input only where it is necessary. Within the phase space of the body dynamics, there are many stable and unstable manifolds coexist. Then if we analysed its structure and obtained a map in sufficient resolution, it may be possibl...

A New Energy Harvesting Design Concept: Multimodal Energy Harvesting Skin

This paper proposes an advanced design concept for a piezoelectric energy harvesting (EH) device, multimodal EH skin structure, a thin and compact harvester which can generate power from multimodal vibration. Multimodal EH skin is an extended study of our previous works, EH skin, which is a new conceptual design for piezoelectric energy harvester by combining a vibrating skin structure and an a...

Re-mediation – a Potentially Useful New Concept for Design Research

The paper presents that it would be useful for Design Research to be able to discuss about artifacts at a more general and abstract level than the concrete artifacts themselves and suggests that the concepts of mediation and re-mediation might serve such purpose. Based on Krippendorff it is suggested that any artifact carries at least three mediated relationships at the same time, and this is i...
