Haptic insights: model making as historical methodology

Making: Insights from an Historical Perspective

Historical insights into cytokines.

Cytokines affect nearly every biological process; these include embryonic development, disease pathogenesis, non-specific response to infection, specific response to antigen, changes in cognitive functions and progression of the degenerative processes of aging. In addition, cytokines are part of stem cell differentiation, vaccine efficacy and allograft rejection. This short insight focuses on t...

Haptic Modelling – An Alternative Industrial Design Methodology

Physical models continue to form an essential outcome from industrial design practice. Whist the professional may be removed from the “hands-on” model build by employing the services of a model-maker, many designers consider such physical interaction as an important part of their idea development process. Visual and tactile feedback from model generation is considered by many as an essential pa...

A Design Methodology for Haptic Devices

This paper presents a design methodology for optimal design of haptic devices, considering aspects from all involved engineering domains. The design methodology is based on parametric modeling with an iterative and integrated design approach that leads to easier design space exploration for global optimal design and initial verification in the conceptual design phase. For design optimization, p...

Insights into Decision Making

Making decisions is part of our everyday life, and software projects are no exception. What architectural style would suit our application best? Should we go for the simpler design, or the more complex one that in return offers more efficiency? Should we use generic containers in our API or will typed objects be the better option? Who of the available team members should be working on the proje...
