Beyond Sustainability: Making the case for Regenerative Design by Bob Berkebile, BNIM, Peter Morris, Davis Langdon, Kathy Achepohl, BNIM
RFID
RFID technology uses tags that emit radio signals to identify products and track them throughout the supply chain. Its widespread adoption will create truly consumer-driven supply networks with improved information flow. RFID will reduce the "bullwhip effect" where small changes in downstream demand cause large changes in upstream inventory levels. This is because RFID provides accurate, real-time inventory data throughout the entire supply chain. RFID implementation is expected to significantly reduce retailer and manufacturer inventory costs while improving customer service and sales.

On the go: Using mobile to support the student experience
#PSEWEB presentation covering two significant projects aimed at transforming the communications experience for current UBC students. One was the development and implementation of a responsive website on the Drupal platform for all central student services information. The other project was the implementation of a centralized mobile strategy using the Modo Labs platform for the University’s core services such as the library, course information, wayfinding and events. Each project had a unique set of objectives but both had the common goal of using mobile to better meet students basic information needs as well as enhance the student experience.
Decision matrix kohlin
The document analyzes three potential designs for a floating dwelling using a decision matrix that evaluates complexity, development time, materials needed, longevity, buoyant effectiveness, and cost. Based on the criteria, the air mattress design scores highest overall with 24 points, followed by the 2-liter bottle design with 22 points, and then the plastic bag design with 19 points. The air mattress is the simplest design that can be built quickly with few materials and is very buoyant and cost-effective, making it the best overall option.
ILIS Presentation 2009 Austria
Presentantion ILIS project at FH Joannneum (Austria). ILIS stand for Innovations and Learning in Spa Management (see www.ilisproject.eu )
ILIS project (2008-2010)* combine the experience and knowledge of five academic partners and their industrial partners in spa management in Finland (TUAS), Poland (AWF), Austria (FH Joanneum), United Kingdom (UCB) and Spain (FLORIDA).
Activity3 2 1_product_observation
1. The document provides instructions for an activity that involves observing the function of a consumer product through non-destructive means before disassembling it. Students are asked to analyze a "Test Rack" device and hypothesize how it operates.
2. The purpose of the Test Rack is to test the safety of electrical cords on electronics by testing the flexibility of the cord ends. It uses pulleys connected to levers that are rotated by a motor to spin electronics and put their cords through flexibility testing.
3. By observing but not taking apart the device, students can guess how it works and identify its mechanical components, like the pulleys and levers, though the inner workings of the motor are hidden.
Cordflexer drawings sean h r brian j
The document contains several engineering drawings created by students using Autodesk software. The drawings include parts for a cord flexor assembly, such as Cord Flexor Part 1-3, and a wrench. Other drawings show a collar part and section view with dimensions. Each image is labeled with the student name, drawing name, scale, and date.
Cord flexor presentation
This document discusses the development of a universal clamping device to reliably attach a cord flexor to different fixtures. It considers using a C-clamp, band clamp, or strap wrench as the basis for the design. The document decides a strap wrench would work best if modified to have a way to attach to fixtures, rotate 90 degrees, and keep the strap tightened while allowing the cord to rotate.
Design brief
The designers were tasked with improving the reliability of attaching electrical devices to a Cord Flex Tester for Product Safety Inc. They were asked to design a universal clamping device that can securely hold a variety of products like hair dryers and flat irons while allowing the cord to rotate. The clamp must attach to the current fixture portably and universally.
Disassembly chart
The document is a product disassembly chart for a cord flexor. It lists 5 parts of the flexor including the base, extension, holders, clamp, and bolts. For each part it provides the quantity, dimensions, function, material, texture/finish, interactions with other parts, and general notes. The flexor attaches a cord to a fixture and is made of various metal parts, including a base, extension to hold parts, holders for the cord end, a clamp to grip the holders, and bolts to hold everything in place.
Gantt chart
This document contains a schedule listing various tasks and their planned dates of completion ranging from April 26th to May 19th. It includes activities like disassembly, mass properties analysis, sketches, research, drawings, models, and final sketches to be finished on different dates throughout that time period.
Rocking chair
The document contains technical drawings for parts of a rocking chair including the back, seat, seat support, and side pieces. The drawings were produced by Autodesk educational software and include dimensions, tolerances, titles, and dates. An assembly drawing brings together the individual parts in an exploded view diagram and lists them in a parts table with descriptions.
Decision matrix thompson
The document provides a decision matrix to evaluate 4 rocking chair design ideas based on criteria including complexity, development time, materials used, longevity, sturdiness, and rockability. Idea 3 scored the highest with a total of 23 points, as it was rated 5 for rockability and longevity and 3 for complexity, development time, and materials. Idea 1 scored the lowest with a total of 17 points.
Logan norm.agreement
The document outlines an activity for students to establish team norms to guide their behavior and work processes. It instructs students to discuss and agree on norms covering codes of conduct, communication protocols, file management, decision making, and conflict resolution. Students are asked to assign roles for compiling documents, drawings, prototyping, and collaborating. They must document the agreed upon norms and roles in a Word document with signatures to finalize the agreement.
Test
The document describes 10 tests of different floatable foundation designs. In the tests, researchers evaluated how palettes and bottles alone or combined held up under various weights, finding that a design with a palette and bottles could support weights of up to 72 pounds while staying afloat, but 100 pounds caused it to sink. The tests were conducted by John Tobias, Brian Jestice, Anthony Cairns, and Diane Kohlin to determine the viability of different floatable foundation options.

The document describes 10 tests of different floatable foundation designs. In the tests, researchers evaluated how well a palette and plastic bottles held themselves up individually and together under varying weights of up to 100 pounds. They found that a design with a palette and bottles could support weights of up to 72 pounds while staying afloat, but a weight of 100 pounds caused it to sink below the surface.
Eco project research diane kohlin,john tobias, brian jestice, anthony cairns
The document provides information about recycling programs and acceptable recyclable materials in South Africa. It details which fiber materials, glass, metals, plastics, and batteries can be recycled through curbside pickup and drop-off locations. Certain items like antifreeze and motor oil containers over 5 gallons must be taken to staffed recycling centers. Styrofoam is not accepted in any recycling programs. The recycling guidelines will help inform the material selection for the floating housing prototypes.
