ADVANCES IN HUMAN-POWERED ENERGY SYSTEMS IN CONSUMER PRODUCTS
Jansen, A.J. // 2004
Research at Delft University of Technology into the use of human-powered energy systems focusses on multiple aspects of this technology. The paper describes a case study into the volumetric features ...
AESTHETICS IN A FORMALISED REVERSE DESIGN PROCESS
Faisst, K.G.; Dankwort, C. W. // 2004
Aesthetics of a product cannot be considered as independent of the person, looking at or acting with it. This leads to the approach to treat both person and object as one unit (in analogy to Quantum ...
AN ADVANCED VIRTUAL REALITY MULTIMODAL INTERFACE FOR DESIGN
De Amicis, R.; Conti, G.; Ucelli, G. // 2004
Recent research efforts have shown how the use of Virtual Reality (VR) and 3D input devices can significantly aid the initial design phases providing designers with tools that support their natural ...
AN AESTHETICS FRAMEWORK FOR DISCUSSING ‘INCLUSIVE’ ISSUES IN DESIGN
Macdonald, A. S. // 2004
One issue which faces designers and engineers is that of the aesthetic acceptability of products and systems for an ageing population. We may be able to provide for functional and usability ...
AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH FOR THE GENERATION OF INNOVATIVE CONCEPT FOR PRODUCT DESIGN
Prat, C.; Ngassa, A.; Bigand, M.; Yim, P. // 2004
Creativity tools can help engineers to mobilize all their technical knowledge to find technological solutions, but they cannot engender the exact solution, so we think it is possible to improve ...
AN ANALYSIS OF A COURSE ON PARAMETRIC DESIGN
Beheshti, R.; Schevers, H. // 2004
AN APPROACH TOWARDS THE STRUCTURING OF METHODS - THE BASIS FOR A FLEXIBLE METHOD-TOOL
Waiter, Stephan; Birkhofer, Herbert // 2004
This paper describes an approach towards the structuring of product development methods. This is necessary in order to build up method-tools according to these structures, which support both the ...
AN ECO-INFORMATION TOOL BASED UPON LIFE CYCLE THINKING
Baragetti, S.; Fargnoli, M.; Rovida, E. // 2004
Problems related to environmental impact of products and processes have become relevant. As shown by many Authors in the field, in spite of the high number of design tools developed and available in ...
AN EVOLUTIONARY APPROACH FOR FUNCTIONAL LEVEL CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF PRODUCTS
Guroglu, S.; Erden, A. // 2004
The conceptual design phase of the product development period involves the completion of functional, structural and behavioural construction of the artifact. A drawback of designing the artifact in ...
AN INITIAL EMPIRICAL STUDY OF USING A PRODUCT CONFIGURATOR AS A SUPPORT TOOL FOR DEVELOPING PRODUCT FAMILIES
Sarinko, K.; Martio, A.; Huuskonen, T. // 2004
Configurable products are one way to carry out mass-customisation. A configurable product is described with a configuration model. A product configurator is an information system for creating a ...
AN INNOVATIVE USER INTERFACE FOR INTUITIVE 3D-SKETCHING IN AN AUGMENTED REALITY ENVIRONMENT
Müller,F.; Lex, S.; Briegel, C.; Lindemann, U. // 2004
For better support of the conceptual phase of product development a new tool is suggested that combines the advantages of paper based sketching and 3D software tools – a “3D-sketcher”. Acting ...
AN ITERATIVE QUESTION-ANSWER DRIVEN PROCESS TO SUPPORT PRODUCT DESIGN
Andersson, Kjell // 2004
Product development is often described as an iterative process of finding solutions that match specific requirements. The many dimensions of this process include time, organization, product-specific ...
ANALYSING LEADERSHIP ACTIVITIES IN DESIGN: HOW DO LEADERS MANAGE DIFFERENT TYPES OF REQUIREMENTS?
Badke-Schaub, P.; Stempfle, J. // 2004

APPLICATION OF METAMODELS IN KNOWLEDGE BASES MOD-ELLING OF DESIGNING PROCESS
SKARKA, W. // 2004
Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
