ABSTRACT: This study aimed to establish the design specifications of a human-powered punch planter for maize and beans through the application of a systematic design methodology. The most important design requirements and their specifications are related to technical performance and production cost.

With the wide applications of Internet of Things technology, the design and fabrication of small size sensor nodes with high sensitivity at low cost will be the main direction of development. In this paper, the important design requirements and design drivers for the manufacturing of wireless micro sensor node based on printed electronics technology are analysed and reviewed. The micro-sensor nodes fabricated can be powered with solar cell. The production cost could be effectively reduced and the life of the system is extended. The sensor nodes could be widely used for real-time monitoring in wide areas.

One of the major steps in the development of a systematic design methodology for the creative design of vehicle mechanisms is to obtain all possible link assortments, and then to generate the catalogs of kinematic chains. If the generalized mathematical expressions for the maximum value M of the maximum number of joints incident to a link of kinematic chains with N links and J joints can be derived, the process of solving link assortments can be more systematic. Using elementary concepts of graph theory, we derived explicit relationships for M for two regions of the J-N plane.

The possibility of the advantageous use of adjustable guidevanes in the compressor inlet for the control of single-shaft gas turbines is discussed. Considering certain design specifications that are impossible to be met by a fixed-geometry, single-shaft machine, it is pointed out how the design specifications can be met utilizing an inlet guidevane system. This is merely used as an example to point out the possible merits of such a system and that it may allow the designer to meet some extraordinary design requirements.

The present work describes an aircraft design methodology that uses the wingspan and its mean aerodynamic chord as main design parameters. In the implemented tool, low fidelity models have been developed for the aerodynamics, stability, propulsion, weight, balance and flight performance. A Fortran® routine that calculates the aircraft performance for the user defined mission and vehicle’s performance requirements has been developed. In order to demonstrate this methodology, the results for a case study using the design specifications of the Air Cargo Challenge 2013 are shown.


Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is the main component in the processors. Most important design consideration in integrated circuit is power. In all the components of ALU data path is the active one and it consumes more percent of power in the total power. In the modern microprocessors it is important to have power efficient data paths. To reduce the power consumption in microprocessors the ALU is designed using PNS-FCR static CMOS logic. In this paper static CMOS logic is used to reduce power consumption. Static technique does not need any clock. So it leads to less power consumption. For the implementation of the ALU with the PNS-FCR static logic mentor graphics tool is used. The power consumption of ALU is compared with and without using FCR. An 8-bit ALU is designed in mentor graphics with 130nm technology. The proposed design methodology gives less power consumption

Global markets demand quick product develop-ment that is simultaneously cost-effective and meets stakeholder needs. Many tools and design methodolo-gies have been developed that address individual as-pects of the design problem, such as Axiomatic De-sign, Design for Manufacture, Life Cycle Design, etc. However, competitive viability can be put at risk when a product fails to achieve all customer, business, manufacturing, and regulatory requirements. To de-liver all design requirements, an efficient integrated design methodology is required. This paper proposes a design approach which integrates previously devel-oped design tools to economically achieve essential design objectives, within a framework that facilitates a rapid design process.
