“Christopher Alexander’s Thought and Eastern Philosophy: Zen, Mindfulness and...Takashi Iba
Takashi Iba, Konomi Munakata, “Christopher Alexander’s Thought and Eastern Philosophy: Zen, Mindfulness and Egoless Creation with a Pattern Language”, PUARL 2018 conference, Portland, USA, Oct. 2018
We present that in order to realize “the process of creation of its own accord” put forward by Christopher Alexander, participation as ‘pure experience’ without thinking and analysis is necessary. This is a paradoxical but unique viewpoint; Alexander propose to create a ‘language’ (which is a tool for thinking) to share and follow spontaneous rules for generative process in Pure Experience. In this talk, we took up quotes of Christopher Alexander, Japanese Philosopher Kitaro Nishida, Ven. Ryodo Yamashita in Buddhism 3.0, and Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.

1. Pneumatic Structure
An air-supported (or air-inflated) structure is any building that derives its structural integrity from the use of internal pressurized air.
In practice, any inflated surface involves a double curvature.
Therefore, the most common shapes for air-supported structures are hemispheres, ovals, and half cylinders
Membrane can support both tension and compression and thus withstand bending moment.

System Components Envelope
• They can be made up of different materials.
• Cannot be used as one continuous material.
• Material are seamed together by sealing, heatbonding or mechanical jointing.
System Components Cable System
• They act as the supporting system.
• They experience tension force due to the upwardforce of the air.
• Can be placed in one or two directions to create anetwork and for better stability.
• They do not fail since they are pulled tightenough to absorb the external loads.
System Components
Pumping Equipment
• It is used to supply and maintain internal pressure inside the structure.
• Fans, blowers or compressors are used for constant supply of air.
• The amount of air required depends on the weight of the material and the wind pressure.
System Components Entrance Doors
• Doors can be ordinary doors or airlocks.
•Airlock minimize the chances of having an unevenly pressurized environment.
System Components Foundations
•Pneumatic structures are secured to ground using heavy weights, ground anchors or attached to a foundation.
•Weight of the material and the wind loads are used to determine the most appropriate anchoring system.
1. Pneumatic Structure
2 Types of Structures
Air Supported Structures
-They have air higher than the atmospheric pressure supporting the envelope.
-Air locks or revolving doors help to maintain the internal pressure.
-These systems are provided with low pressure air; hence have to be provided with continuous supply of air. -They are either anchored to the ground or to a wall so that leakage is prevented.
-They have relative low cost and they can be installed easily.

Arches always generate the section of vaulted structures.
• Vaults are generated by the projection of the arch section on a plan, which is most of the time horizontal.
• Domes are basically shaped by the rotation of the arch section around a vertical axis. They can be built on circular or quadrangular plans.
The main exceptions to this principle are:
• Domes on squinches are made by a succession of increasing arches starting from the corners. The squinche looks like a half cone or portion of a cone, if the generating arch is not pointed.
• Faceted domes are generated by the intersection of vaults, like the cloister dome. But it is built on a faceted plan and not a square or quadrangular plan like the cloister dome.
• Groined vaults or domes are the intersection of two vaults crossing each other. Most of the time, they cross perpendicularly.
• Cloister domes are also generated by the intersection of two vaults crossing each other, like the groined vault. The groin of the groined vault is identical to the inner edge of the cloister dome. The arch section of the cloister dome is not seen on the side of the dome, but only the cross sections.
The Etruscans originated the arch (always semi-circular), the vault (an arched covering of stone), and the dome. The best preserved of the Etruscan arches is in the Porta all’Arco gateway at Volterra.
Adopted and developed extensively by the Romans, the arch, vault and dome played an important part in their architecture. The Romans combined the trabeated system (a style of architecture in which a structure is supported over openings by beams or lintels) of the Greeks with the arch, vault, and dome of the Etruscans, constructing buildings that were structurally more complex and ambitious than those of either. The result was arcuated structures (supported on arches), built on the pier and arch system. Orders (a column with the entablature its supports) were used, often with arches, to face these arcuated structures. This was not entirely to serve a decorative purpose for the orders were carefully placed and adapted so that they contributed to the scale and proportion of the whole design.
Vault
The evolution of the vault begins with the discovery of the arch, because the basic “barrel” form, which appeared first in ancient Egypt and the Near East, is simply a deep, or three-dimensional, arch. Since the barrel vault exerts thrust as the arch does, it must be buttressed along its entire length by heavy walls in which openings must be limited in size and number. This is a disadvantage, since it inhibits light and circulation.
But Roman builders discovered that openings could be made by building two barrel vaults that intersected at right angles to form the groin vault, which is square in plan and may be repeated in series to span rectangular areas of unlimited length. This vault has the additional advantage that its thrusts are concentrated at the four corners, so that the supporting walls need not

A prize winning presentation on "TENSEGRITY architecture" under the topic of "SMART STRUCTURES" for 8 minutes on "BUILDOFEST 2017"
Tensegrity, tensional integrity or floating compression is a structural principle based on the use of isolated components in compression inside a net of continuous tension, in such a way that the compressed members (usually bars or struts) do not touch each other and the prestressed tensioned members (usually cables or tendons) delineate the system spatially.

Induction Motors Matching Permanent Magnet Performances at Lower Costsfernando nuño
Due to a continued concern on the external dependence of permanent magnets in Europe, induction technology is being pushed beyond its limits to maximise performance.
With novel materials, material characterisation and multi-domain design, power-speed capability of laminated rotor induction motors can match that typically associated with surface permanent magnet machines, at a fraction of the cost.
This session reviews the findings relating to lower cost induction motors, highlighting how they can successfully be used as an alternative to permanent magnets.
Lauded as the fastest commercially available chip calorimeter, Flash DSC is ideal for studying rapid crystallization and reorganization processes, and is able to operate in temperatures from -95 to 1000 °C. These ultra-high cooling and heating rates have considerably progressed the study of thermally induced chemical processes and physical transitions, allowing the study of the crystallization and reorganization of a range of materials including metals and polymers like never before.

Low pressure Molding could protect LED strip, PCB and magnetic very well. Macromelt & Technomelt as a common molding materials play in an encapsulating and environmentally protection on sensitive electronic components, IC molding sealing, Magnetic over molding and other sensitive components pakage. The main intention is to protect the sensitive electronic components during the molding stress, because high pressure molding would harm the properties of these components. Additionally, low pressure seal molding also protects electronic components against dust, moisture and vibration stress. It is also commonly used for Cable relief and sealing connectors.
Modeling of Micro Turbine for Rapid PrototypingIJMTST Journal
A micro turbine is for harnessing energy from an airflow, which is generated by body motion. The energy is transformed into usable electrical energy and thus providing power for portable electrical devices. The turbine is flown axial and rotates in the same direction independent of the incoming airflow. This paper presents an overview of work performed to date on modeling of micro turbine for rapid prototyping that can automatically take solid models from computer Aided Design data in the form of stl, iges files.
