If you don't draw it you will not see it
No full textThe activity of drawing has characterized the human being since pre-historic times. The ‘language’ of drawing was utilized long before writing was there. It is an expression of human’s unique creativity and an example of human’s near-exclusive usage of tools. In this paper, the broad definition and relevance of drawing will be addressed first. Subsequently, the position of the professional and educational field of design drawing takes will be discussed, and its specific functions within the context of product design. The overall goal of this paper is to summarize the various uses of drawing as a ‘design language’, discuss the educational value and present a preliminary learning model, which describes the sequential and additional steps that need to be taken into account when teaching students how to draw. The variety of functions of the drawing medium are integrated in the so-called design drawing curriculum of the Industrial Design Engineering program at the Delft University of Technology, which will be elaborated on. Subsequently, as an exemplifying and representative approach for suggesting an object’s volume - one of the most important goals of design drawing – a specific method and technique will be described and shown.Human Information Communication Desig
A Hadron Radiation Installation and Verification Method
No full textA hadron radiation installation adapted to subject a target to irradiation by a hadron radiation beam, said installation comprising: - a target support configured to support, preferably immobilize, a target: - a hadron radiation apparatus adapted to emit a hadron radiation beam along a beam axis to irradiate the target supported by the target support, said radiation beam penetrating into the target. The radiation apparatus has a control system at least comprising a beam penetration depth control allowing at least to control and vary the penetration depth of the radiation beam into the target. The installation has a radiation beam range sensor device adapted to determine the penetration depth of said radiation beam into the target, wherein said range sensor device comprises a gamma camera responsive to prompt gamma rays that are emitted while said hadron radiation beam penetrates into the target.RST/Radiation, Science and TechnologyApplied Science
A Roadmap for the Transition from Paper to Digital Records
No full textNowadays there are a lot of innovative activities going on in the youth care sector. One of the innovations is using digital client records instead of paper client records and in the future online access to digital records for clients. Before an organisation can make client records accessible through the internet, they have to professionalize and organize the digital client records and their own organisation. Thus when introducing a new working method in an organisation, organisations have to deal with organisational and technical changes. This thesis describes a roadmap which describes the process for transiting from paper to digital records in a youth care organisation where the organisational and technical issues will be taken into account. The DEMO methodology is used to model the organisation undergoing the change. The organisational model produced using this methodology, gives the management a good overview of how the care taking process takes place at the moment and can be used to improve this process if necessary. This model also helps to identify the roles and responsibilities of the actors involved in the organisation. Furthermore this model gives additional contribution to the concept of the Alares ‘knowledge environment’ which is also used the organisation according to its four components.Software TechnologyElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Flooding and drying in discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of shallow water equations
No full textFlooding and drying in space or space-time discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretizations provides an accurate and efficient numerical scheme. Moreover, the space-time DG method is particularly suitable for moving or deforming meshes. The shallow water equations, which can exhibit flooding and drying due to the movement of water front, are considered and discretized with linear polynomial approximations. In the finite elements connected to the water front, the means (zeroth order term) are used to conserve the mass and momentum, and the slopes (first order term) are used to follow the front movement accurately, which contrasts finite volume schemes where the slopes have to be reconstructed. The front movement can be governed by a front equation in a restricted situation in which the front is single valued in either one of the horizontal coordinate directions. In general, however, the water line can be complicated and the topology of the domain can change as islands become flooded or fall dry. We are developing the following two approaches for this general case. In an Eulerian-Lagrangian space DG method, the free boundary nodes at the water line are allowed to move, while the time step is restricted and the mesh is locally updated to keep the dry and wet mesh around the water line well-behaved. In the space-time DG method a level set is introduced to demarcate the water line while the water depth and level set are matched properly. As a preliminary step, we have obtained numerical results for two exact solutions by prescribing the exact front movement. These are second order accurate in space and time
Hierarchical Memory Diagnosis Approach
No full textSemiconductor memories are an inherent part of many modern electronic systems. Due to the fast development of memory process technology and the escalating computing speeds, the on-chip share of memories is rapidly increasing. Additionally, the quality and reliability requirements are becoming more severe especially for critical applications such as automotive and aerospace. Zero defect per million level is now a reality. To satisfy the quality constraints, it is vital to investigate the failure mechanisms. Also, it is required to address the problem of continually decreasing memory yield. Low yield is one of the major threats of the miniaturized electronic systems. Desire for high yield along with the stress to decrease the time to market, has heightened the importance of memory fault diagnosis. The traditional ways of fault diagnosis are not adequate for covering the entire memory fault scope. They suffer from various drawbacks like high complexity, high cost, platform dependence and limited scope. There is a need to introduce changes to the fundamental principles of memory testing and diagnosis approaches. This thesis presents a novel memory fault diagnosis approach which accurately identifies the faulty memory block and determines the fault type. The proposed approach is platform independent, based on a hierarchical methodology and incorporates several innovative ideas and algorithms. It builds upon the concepts of Test Primitives, Test Classes and Design for Diagnosis. The strength of Hierarchical Memory Diagnosis approach lies in the fact that, unlike conventional approaches, there are no specific implementation requirements other than running a test and determining the pass/fail status of the applied diagnostic test. The scope of the target faults includes all static and dynamic faults occurring in all parts of the memory system. The new approach contributes to the acceleration of characterization of possible defect mechanisms responsible for yield loss in the emerging technologies.Computer EngineeringElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
