Stricter guidelines, hand in hand with continuous technological advances, mean that vessels are safer and more efficient. At the same time, these changes make ships more complex and expensive. However, this is not the case with mooring equipment. Regulations vary in content, but have the same objective. They fail to improve the ships’ safety and prices are negatively affected. A vessel’s mooring system has to take into account various sets of regulations, including those of the country under whose flag it is sailing; the classification societies; ship owner associations and the terminal ports. This paper will analyse the contents of all these regulations in an attempt to find what they have in common. Its next purpose is to propose guidelines with unified contents. The proposal is to harmonise regulations that affect the mooring winch’s operation, design and construction. With standardised regulations, it would be possible to carry out a single design process and one calculation for components. These steps will be apt for every kind of project. By unifying this process, the final price of manufacturing equipment will be reduced.

In this thesis, we take STM32F103R8T6 as main chip, SH79F32 as auxiliary chip, the temperature sensor of DS18B20 as collection tools, wireless transceiver based on nRF905 as communication tool, and reach the function of wireless sensor networks. Through Altium Designer Release 10 to conduct schematic design and draw PCB, and then solder circuit boards, use the software of Keil to design process, to realize wireless sensor communication between different microcontrollers, after that ,complete the design and production of wireless sensor communications platforms.

The purpose of this study was to collect the perceptions of design professionals and clinicians regarding design process success strategies and elements of interprofessional engagement and communication during healthcare design and construction projects. Additional objectives were to gather best practices to maximize clinician engagement and provide tools and techniques to improve interdisciplinary collaboration for future projects. Strategies are needed to enhance the design and construction process and create interactions that benefit not only the project but the individuals working to see its completion. Meaningful interprofessional collaboration is essential to any healthcare design project and making sure the various players communicate is a critical element. This was a qualitative study conducted via an online survey. Respondents included architects, construction managers, interior designers, and healthcare personnel who had recently been involved in a building renovation or new construction project for a healthcare facility. Responses to open-ended questions were analyzed for themes, and descriptive statistics were used to provide insight into participant demographics. Information on the impressions, perceptions, and opportunities related to clinician involvement in design projects was collected from nurses, architects, interior designers, and construction managers. Qualitative analysis revealed themes of clinician input, organizational dynamics, and a variety of communication strategies to be the most frequently mentioned elements of successful interprofessional collaboration. This study validates the need to include clinician input in the design process, to consider the importance of organizational dynamics on design team functioning, and to incorporate effective communication strategies during design and construction projects.

Engines are common devices which are important sources of power to run several devices in modern society. Many of these engines are very complex and need high levels of technological advances for smooth operations. This papers focuses on the identification, design and construction of a Stirling engine which can be easily manufactured without any special tooling or exotic materials. The underlying theory of the device is also presented and discussed with future recommendations to improve the current design.

The paper discusses, from a ship designer's perspective, some of the current topics and issues relating to the interface between naval ship design and production. The current environment within which naval ship design activity is taking place is described. Notable current views on Navy ship design and how it might be improved are summarized. Navy design topics pertinent to improving ship producibility, operability, maintainability and survivability are discussed and examples from recent ship designs are. presented. Issues which result from apparent conflicts in current design initiatives and critiques of the Navy ship design process are highlighted and discussed. Finally, some general conclusions are drawn.

This article describes an assistant interface to design and produce pop-up cards. A pop-up card is a piece of folded paper from which a three-dimensional structure pops up when opened. The authors propose an interface to assist the user in the design and production of a pop-up card. During the design process, the system examines whether the parts protrude from the card or whether the parts collide with one another when the card is closed. The user can concentrate on the design activity because the error occurrence and the error resolution are continuously fed to the user in real time. The authors demonstrate the features of their system by creating two pop-up card examples and perform an informal preliminary user study, showing that automatic protrusion and collision detection are effective in the design process.
