Negli ultimi anni si e assistito a un crescente interesse per l identificazione dei prodotti mediante radiofrequenza, sia nella produzione sia nella distribuzione. L adozione della tecnologia RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) apporta infatti alle aziende indubbi vantaggi economici, e anche nel settore alimentare si stanno iniziando a comprendere le nuove opportunita strategiche e di gestione della filiera offerte dai sistemi RFID. Al di la dei vantaggi economici, questi sistemi offrono infatti la possibilita di gestire al meglio aspetti cruciali della qualita e della sicurezza, soprattutto per quello che riguarda la catena del freddo.

Gli autori del volume operano nel laboratorio RFID Lab dell Universita degli Studi di Parma, che da anni collabora con numerose aziende del settore alimentare e del largo consumo. Il libro illustra i risultati delle loro ricerche e guida il lettore attraverso l analisi delle opportunita derivanti dall impiego della tecnologia RFID nella supply chain.

Festivals celebrate occasions and moods and generate their own realities that manifest as living memories. Festivals transform people, allowing them to take on unfamiliar roles. Festivals also change places, give rise to new public spheres, and are capable of bringing together critical as well as joyful, angry and enthusiastic groups with resulting impacts on cities and societies. The festival is also closely linked to the display of political or social power. Those who take part suspend existing rules or create new ones. The MAK exhibition DAS FEST brings art, cultural and social history to life. The book that accompanies the exhibition brings together the expert opinions of the MAK team as well as those of renowned authors and explores essential aspects of festival design. Festivals as a source of inspiration: from happenings to religious holidays With contributions by Chiara Baldini, Brigitte Felderer, Lili Hollein, Werner Oechslin, and many more MAK exhibition, which runs from 14 December 2022 to 7 May 2023

Sit in China - An Excursion through 500 Years of the Culture of Sitting (Hardcover): Volker Fischer, Stephan Von Der Schulenburg Sit in China - An Excursion through 500 Years of the Culture of Sitting (Hardcover)

Text in English & German. The way we sit simultaneously defines privileges, social status, power, and taboos. Parallel to the presentation of China as the guest of honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2009, the Museum fur Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt presents a panorama of Chinese sitting culture through a period of five centuries. Exclusive, noble Ming chairs stand side by side with chairs of the 18th and 19th century used by the middle class of that time. Limited sitting sculptures by renowned artist designers such as Shao Fan, Freeman Lau, Kenneth Cobonpue, XYZ-Design and Ji Liwei, who is also in charge of the interior design of the Chinese pavilion at the book fair, are confronted with the bourgeois sofas and sitting of the Chinese middle class of today. The "Bastard Chairs" of migrant workers and the homeless, day-to-day seats improvised out of pure need and made of trash and leftover materials, are commented in the sitting contexts of celebrities: emperors and courtesans, politicians and pop stars, athletes and students of product design show how sitting was done formerly and is done today. It ranges from a man of letters from the Ming era to the Qianglong emperor on the throne to Mao and Nixon in characteristic armchairs in Mao's best room. The most famous contemporary Chinese artist, Ai Weiwei, will also be represented with an excerpt of his grandiose chair performance at the Dokumenta XII. Of course, product piracy, which -- as the typical Chinese dipping figure "Shanzhai" -- has mean-while adopted characteristics that define society, is also dealt with.

The work of Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas enjoys a well-earned reputation for the artistic talent it expresses and for its capacity to surprise with the most risky and spectacular projects. With offices in Rome, Paris and Shenzen, the Fuksases have completed projects of contrasting scales and typologies: airports, theatrical scenographies, urban planning, large infrastructure, housing projects... This companion book to Fuksas Building features works by the studio which are focused on product design, interior design, scenography, furniture and jewelry. Perhaps the less known aspect of Fuksas' work, their product design emphasizes a natural condition in changing scales, materials and uses. Research is also very present behind every piece. The richly illustrated projects include the Armani stores, the Alessi collection and the furniture for Haworth Castelli, among many others.

How might we develop products made with and by disabled users rather than for them? Could we change living and working spaces to make them accessible rather than designing products that "fix" disabilities? How can we grow our capabilities to make designs more “bespoke” to each individual? After Universal Design brings together scholars, practitioners, and disabled users and makers to consider these questions and to argue for the necessity of a new user-centered design. As many YouTube videos demonstrate, disabled designers are not only fulfilling the grand promises of DIY design but are also questioning what constitutes meaningful design itself. By forcing a rethink of the top-down professionalized practice of Universal Design, which has dominated thinking and practice around design for disability for decades, this book models what inclusive design and social justice can look like as activism, academic research, and everyday life practices today. With chapters, case studies, and interviews exploring questions of design and personal agency, hardware and spaces, the experiences of prosthetics' users, conventional hearing aid devices designed to suit personal style, and ways of facilitating pain self-reporting, these essays expand our understanding of what counts as design by offering alternative narratives about creativity and making. Using critical perspectives on disability, race, and gender, this book allow us to understand how design often works in the real world and challenges us to rethink ideas of "inclusion" in design.

Certain "regularities" in product development are identifiable, objectively verifiable and consistent for almost any kind of product. These regularities are described by the authors as Creativity Templates. This book describes the theory and implementation of these templates, showing how they can be used to enhance the creative process and thus enable people to be more productive and focused. Representing the culmination of years of research on the topic of creativity in marketing, the Creativity Templates approach has been recognized as a breakthrough in such journals as Science, Journal of Marketing Research, Management Science, and Technological Forecasting and Social Change.

Die Mikrosystemtechnik (MST) zielt darauf ab, verschiedenste Funktionen auf kleinstem Raum zu realisieren. Ein Mikrosystem besteht in der Regel aus verschiedenartigen, z.B. mechanischen, optischen oder elektronischen Komponenten, die sehr genau zusammengefugt werden mussen. Markante Beispiele sind Abtastkopfe fur CD-Spieler, mikrooptische und -optoelektronische Bausteine fur Kommunikationssysteme oder Mikrosensoren fur die Automobil-, Umwelt-, Bio- oder Sicherheitstechnik. Die flexible roboterbasierte Mikromontage nebst speziellen Montageplanungs- und Steuerungstechniken wird heute als die Schlusseltechnologie zur industriellen Beherrschung der MST angesehen. Dieses Lehrbuch liefert zum ersten Mal eine systematisierte Gesamtsicht auf die Mikromontage- und Mikroroboterproblematik.
Die interessierten Einsteiger konnen problemlos den grossten Teil des prasentierten Stoffes verarbeiten, denn die notwendigen technischen Erklarungen wurden nach Moglichkeit ohne grosseren mathematischen "Tiefgang" gehalten.

Auch im Zeitalter des computergestutzten Konstruierens und Fertigens (CAD/CAM) hat das Werk nichts von seiner Bedeutung verloren, im Gegenteil: Rechnerische Abwicklungsmethoden und exakte Durchdringungskorper sind Voraussetzungen fur 2D/CAD-Systeme und den sinnvollen Einsatz von NC-Blech-Bearbeitungsmaschinen.
Die Neuauflage wurde um ein Kapitel uber Metalle und thermoplastische Kunststoffe erweitert, aus denen Abwicklungen und Durchdringungen angefertigt werden. Kunststoffrecycling aus typenreinem Verarbeitungsabfall wird ebenfalls behandelt. Das Buch eignet sich besonders fur die Einfuhrung von CAD/CAM bei Abwicklungen und Durchdringungen."

A more powerful innovation, which seeks to discover not how things work but why we need things. The standard text on innovation advises would-be innovators to conduct creative brainstorming sessions and seek input from outsiders-users or communities. This kind of innovating can be effective at improving products but not at capturing bigger opportunities in the marketplace. In this book Roberto Verganti offers a new approach-one that does not set out to solve existing problems but to find breakthrough meaningful experiences. There is no brainstorming-which produces too many ideas, unfiltered-but a vision, subject to criticism. It does not come from outsiders but from one person's unique interpretation. The alternate path to innovation mapped by Verganti aims to discover not how things work but why we need things. It gives customers something more meaningful-something they can love. Verganti describes the work of companies, including Nest Labs, Apple, Yankee Candle, and Philips Healthcare, that have created successful businesses by doing just this. Nest Labs, for example, didn't create a more advanced programmable thermostat, because people don't love to program their home appliances. Nest's thermostat learns the habits of the household and bases its temperature settings accordingly. Verganti discusses principles and practices, methods and implementation. The process begins with a vision and proceeds through developmental criticism, first from a sparring partner and then from a circle of radical thinkers, then from external experts and interpreters, and only then from users. Innovation driven by meaning is the way to create value in our current world, where ideas are abundant but novel visions are rare. If something is meaningful for both the people who create it and the people who consume it, business value follows.
