SPRAY nozzles, JET streams, ENERGY shortages, and PRODUCT improvement

As a result, samples are belt-fed through the spraying rig, where spray applicators with adjustable flow rates apply the binder formulation to the unbonded web. A complete pilot-scale prototyping facility already assists many of NIRI's customers across multiple sectors. It includes a dedicated spraying rig for continuous and pilot-scale binder applications.

ANTENNAS (Electronics), CAPACITOR switching, RADIO antennas, SPARE parts, POWER capacitors, and SUBSTRATE integrated waveguides

The article offers information on a manually tuned wide-range tuner using binary stepped components. It discusses that the scavenger antenna tuner works using 10-turn potentiometers to provide an input voltage to two eight-bit analog-to-digital (A-to-D) converter chips; the tuner is constructed using three pieces of printed circuit board material with the bottom piece resting on an oak board; and mentions that Two prototyping circuit boards hold the 10-pin A-to-D converter ICs.

The article offers information that Since its inception four decades ago, additive manufacturing, a paradigm-shifting technology, has improved the industrial environment. Rapid prototyping was originally carried out in the 1980s using this method of adding layers rather than removing them, albeit the resulting products "were not frequently functional"

FIELD programmable analog arrays, COMPUTER input-output equipment, COMPUTER science research, MOTHERBOARDS, and GRAPHICS processing units

The article explores FPGAs, field-programmable gate arrays, and how they might be used in a variety of applications and industries, including client compute hardware. FGPAs are used in the early stages of hardware design include rapid prototyping, testing, and development. Challenges to using FPGAs are also noted as are benefits.

How can we depict a technological idea in a simple and effective way? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on few ideas for successful ideation including Prototyping, this is creating a physical model or representation of something you're trying to get to or visualize; and Crazy 8s, divide a blank page into eight sections.

LANDSCAPE architecture, RAPID prototyping, DESIGN services, CREATIVE ability, BIOMATERIALS, and TEST design

In the field of Landscape Architecture, design as research has been frequently addressed in the academic discourse. This article provides a snapshot of how design practice at Stoss Landscape Urbanism contributes to the discourse through applied practice and implementation as a research enquiry into the dynamics of and human response to the everchanging environment. This "design as research" in daily practice emerges as three episodes: 1) demonstration of ideas through experimentations and garden installations; 2) environmental and social dynamics as both research interests and tools with which to tackle challenges in urban environments and change over time; and 3) digital fabrication with biological materials as a tactile media to explore curiosity and creativity in design. The use of these tactics and tools offers a fresh perspective on the conventional definition of research and the methods and means through which designers continue to develop and test innovative solutions to social and environmental challenges. Looking retrospectively at the progression of applied research and its influence on projects across scales, Stoss provides insights into design process and reinforces the importance of continued exploration and testing within design practice.

GROUND source heat pump systems and URBAN planning

Projects The University of Melbourne's innovation precinct, Melbourne Connect, opened its doors in early 2021. The main tower facade uses prism-shaped panels and sun-shading hoods, optimized through rapid digital prototyping, to respond to specific environmental conditions around the building elevations. To the north, beside the Royal Dental Hospital of Melbourne, a mass timber building contains early learning and childcare facilities on the top three floors and the university's Melbourne Entrepreneurial Centre below.

WORK environment

Dossier Anthony Burke: I know that BVN has been doing some really interesting work in the research space with different partners. AB: The robotic fabrication projects are about testing, prototyping and iterative making with new technology. AB: So, it's not just a culture, it does require some kind of scaffold… NT: Definitely, I think that's super important. NT: One of the most compelling aspects of robotic fabrication and advanced manufacturing is that you can't separate the components; you must think about the digital, material and fabrication simultaneously.

RAPID prototyping, TOYS, BIOPRINTING, HUMAN skin color, GENDER identity, and ETHNICITY

Apart from Mattel, the maker of Barbie dolls that recently broadened the diversity of its range of dolls, we found that almost all humanoid toys have offered very little modern diversity features for as long as they have been around - most of the diversity features they do have are skin-color variation. Build-Your-Own Humanoid Toys Educating for Diversity via Digital Fabrication BACKGROUND Humanoid toys are designed in a world rich with norms, identities, and relations. In our society, very few humanlike toys are free of gender stereotypes; most toys are either associated with "girl toys" or "boy toys" [9]. [Extracted from the article]

THREE-dimensional printing, COVID-19 pandemic, RAPID prototyping, and SUPPLY chains

The article informs on the trends in additive manufacturing. It mentions about the comments of Daniel Cohn, Managing Director Germany at Protolabs, as per which during the corona pandemic, parts manufactured using 3D printing have proven their great added value and have led to an improvement in supply.

PERMANENT magnets, SERVOMECHANISMS, FINITE element method, and ACTUATORS

Purpose: Design of small disc-type permanent magnet (PM) brushed DC motors for servomechanisms is challenging. The purpose of this paper is to propose a special coreless double-sided structure. This easy to manufacture motor has two set of shifted concentrated windings on both sides of the rotor. All of the coils in each winding are simply connected in series. A simple arcless commutator, which shares the features of both the usual commutators and slip rings, is connected to each winding at only two points. Design/methodology/approach: By replacing the PMs with an equivalent current density, main design equations of the motor have been derived through the solving of scalar Poisson equation. A radial division technique has been used to take the radial variations into account. This provides the ability of considering various shapes of coils and PMs. A novel iterative algorithm has been proposed to design a motor with high torque capability, compared to other coreless counterparts. Some design variables are obtained based on an independent optimization problem, which maximizes the active portion of windings. The other variables are calculated in such a way that the design requirements are satisfied. Findings: The feasibility and capability of the new structure have been proved by prototyping a sample motor. Comparing the design outputs with the results of the 3D finite element analysis and experimental tests shows a good agreement. This verifies the accuracy of the proposed design method. Originality/value: A new structure for PM brushed DC motors and a novel algorithm for its design has been developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
