Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Market Leader in Consistency Control
Valmet Blade Consistency Measurement
2. 2
Valmet Blade Consistency Measurement (Valmet SP) is the most sold consistency sensor
worldwide. Now in its 4th generation, Valmet SP has a long history; with the method pat-
ented already in 1954, it is still the most used measuring principle on the market. There
are many reasons for the continued success of Valmet SP: its high accuracy, cost efficien-
cy, reliability and virtually maintenance free operation, together with meeting the require-
ments of many different applications have gained Valmet SP a well deserved reputation in
the pulp & paper industry.
The 4th
generation Valmet SP
blade consistency measurement
Improvements that count
The development of the 4th genera-
tion of Valmet SP focused on retain-
ing the well proven solutions of
earlier generations and employing
new technology to further improve
both the measurement and user ex-
perience. A new, more accurate shear
force detector (patented) is contained
within a redesigned modular sen-
sor for even better reliability with
improved sealing, higher temperature
capabilities and noise immunity.
Commissioning and user opera-
tion has been further enhanced with
a new user interface unit, Valmet
Link, with graphical display fea-
turing a simplified self instructive
menu structure for easier calibration,
detailed self diagnostics and prepared
for remote access/IoT capabilities.
Together with installation exchange-
ability and fully compatible sensing
element options to earlier genera-
tions, the modularity also reduces the
need for many different spare parts at
customer site.
3. 3
Reliable
Valmet has a long experience in
developing and manufacturing long
lifetime sensors, with Valmet SP
being no exception. Valmet SP has
a robust design, without jeopardiz-
ing the high sensitivity. Requiring
no preventive maintenance, SP will
operate for a long time in different
process conditions. However nothing
is so good that it can’t be better, so to
ensure optimum reliability Valmet
offers advice of how to install the
sensor and associated equipment to
protect components from adverse
process conditions. The heritage from
previous sensor models is strong, and
successful solutions have been reused
in the new 4th generation Valmet SP.
High performance
For good performance, sensing ele-
ment selection is very important as
fiber characteristics are very differ-
ent for different fiber types. Recycled
fibers for instance have a lower shear
force compared to kraft softwood
fibers.
Valmet’s comprehensive sens-
ing element selection and prepro-
grammed calibration curves make it
easy to get the best performance from
Valmet SP.

JL
Advanced compensation
To fine tune the performance even
further Valmet SP has separate
temperature compensations for
electronics, shear force detector and
process temperature. With normal
process conditions the temperature is
normally very stable but the benefit of
compensation is best seen at machine
start ups and with season variations
of process temperature.
Water viscosity and fiber stiffness
can have a noticeable effect to the
measurement result.
4. 4
Installation and start up
Valmet SP is dependent on laminar
flow condition to operate optimally.
The correct selection of the sensing
element (blade) and installation posi-
tion is ensured with a Valmet devel-
oped software tool called Measure-
ment Advisor. The tool will find the
best possible installation position and
also give options if needed. The soft-
ware is free to use by our end custom-
ers, or Valmet can of course assist and
make installation recommendations
during the purchase phase. Instal-
lation instructions are specific for
each installation and ensure the best
possible performance for the actual
process conditions.
Easy and fast calibration
Based on thousands of installed sen-
sors and extensive development work,
Valmet has developed calibration
curves for all blades in the portfolio
and in a variety of pulp types. Com-
missioning could not be easier; a
suitable pre-programmed calibration
curve is selected, and one pulp sample
is collected for laboratory determi-
nation. The laboratory result is then
entered in the Link operator panel
and the calibration is complete. This
easy and fast method is suitable for
the majority of applications, however
two point and multipoint calibration
can be also made just as easily with
the sensor automatically calculating
the correct curve.
Remote control
When running different pulp grades
in the same process, up to eight cali-
bration curves can be stored in differ-
ent recipes, to be selected by binary
inputs from the control system, or
manually at the operator display.
5. 5
Future safe
The shear force detector (patented) in
the 4th generation Valmet SP em-
ploys new technology widely used in
aerospace and robotic design. Unlike
other shear force measurements, this
new technique with several sup-
pliers for the different components
will be available and supported for
many years forward. Future process
changes or measurement require-
ments are easily handled as the
Valmet SP measurement module can
easily be repurposed with different
sensing elements and protection fins.
The Link user interface platform, to
be also used with other Valmet prod-
ucts, allows for future communica-
tion concepts ensuring that the entire
system is secured for years to come.
All new design
Digital electronics
• High resolution components
• Unaffected by temperature
changes
• Future safe
Diagnostics
• Electronics temp measurement
• Moisture measurement inside
sensor

has lifted the user experience to a new
higher level. It has an intuitive menu
structure that’s easy to use and learn.
The expanded keypad with operation
keys, like sample collecting key, helps
the user make the correct selection.
It has a display light for the best pos-
sible visibility in dark installations.
The box itself has easy access to mill
connections and has a very robust de-
sign. Commissioning and operation
has never been easier, with the new
Link user interface built for use with
Valmet measurement products.
• Large graphical display
• Display with back-light
• Full numeric keypad plus
operation keys
• Remote access
• Industrial Internet ready
6. 6
The universal sensor
From blow line
to machine chest
Valmet SP is a really universal sensor.
With a portfolio of components that fits
the sensor it can be configured to per-
form in almost all consistency measure-
ment applications in the pulp process.
Find the correct set-up and location and
you get a stable and accurate measure-
ment from Valmet SP.
It can be installed just to monitor the
consistency variations or be used in an
automatic consistency control loop. Val-
met SP is used in all kind of processes;
chemical kraft pulp, groundwood, TMP,
CTMP, recycled pulp, DIP, etc. And in all
kind of process steps, blow line, screen-
ing, washing, bleaching, refining, stock
preparation, mixing, machine chest. For
consistency levels ranging from 0,7 to
16%
Valmet SP basic delivery includes:
• Sensor with sensing element (Blade)
• LINK operating unit with 10 meter sensor cable
• Process coupling
