In this research, a specific category of construction technologies, e.g., formwork, is selected for case study. 40 invention principles and 39 engineering parameters were applied with contradiction matrix to find out the “improving” and “deteriorating” parameters for a design case. By consulting the contradiction matrix, innovative principles can be found. It is concluded that TRIZ provides an ...

A conceptual approach for evaluating and selecting among alternative Electronic Data Processing (EDP) systems proposed to meet a set of EDP user needs has been developed by applying cost-effectiveness methods and techniques to the source selection problem. The report provides a framework that allows the EDP system evaluator to combine the selected relevant system performance measures and the re...

Leading digital circuits namely register, flipflops, state machines and counters drive operational aspects potential applications in Integrated Circuit (IC) industry. MOS Current Mode Logic (MCML) based implementations with rapid response simultaneous generation of complemented output is all set to become indispensable nano regime This paper attempts optimize address performance-based analysis ...

We present an integrated design and marketing approach to facilitate the generation of an optimal robust set of product design alternatives to carry forward to the prototyping stage. The approach considers variability in both (i) engineering design domain, and (ii) customer preferences in marketing domain. In the design domain, the approach evaluates performance and robustness of a design alter...

This study proposes and applies a methodology to calibrate microscopic traffic flow simulation models. The proposed methodology has the capability to calibrate simultaneously all the calibration parameters as well as demand patterns for any type of network. Parameters considered include global and local as well as driver behaviour and vehicle performance parameters. Demand patterns, in terms of...

Erythema dyschromicum perstans (EDP) and Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) are both inflammatory disorders of pigmentation with unknown etiology difficult to differentiate clinically histologicaly. There is no consensus on whether entities separate or belong the same spectrum cutaneous disorders. We present a 13 year old boy mostly asymptomatic hyperpigmented lesions over body. The were subsequen...

In the design and manufacture of mechanical devices, there are parameters whose values are determined by the manufacturing process in response to errors introduced in the device’s manufacture or operating environment. Such parameters are termed tuning parameters, and are distinct from design parameters which the designer selects values for as a part of the design process. This paper introduces ...
