This book proposes a novel approach to the design of accessible and
inclusive sailing yachts, inspired by the principles of "Design for
All." The goal is to allow anyone, including users with
disabilities and individuals belonging to the weaker segments, to
sail without barriers. Starting from an analysis of existing
pleasure boats, the author identifies a series of factors limiting
the accessibility or usability of external and internal spaces. In
turn, he discusses the most suitable solutions to each. By
proposing an extensive set of design solutions applicable to the
confined spaces on yachts, and which comply with the relevant
anthropometric and dimensional rules, the book offers a timely
snapshot of the potential benefits and applicability of an
inclusive approach to yacht design, setting a new reference
standard for inclusive and accessible nautical design.
This book thoroughly reviews the present knowledge on silicon
micromechanical transducers and addresses emerging and future
technology challenges. Readers will acquire a solid theoretical and
practical background that will allow them to analyze the key
performance aspects of devices, critically judge a fabrication
process, and then conceive and design new ones for future
applications. Envisioning a future complex versatile microsystem,
the authors take inspiration from Richard Feynman's visionary talk
"There is Plenty of Room at the Bottom" to propose that the time
has come to see silicon sensors as part of a "Feynman Roadmap"
instead of the "More-than-Moore" technology roadmap. The sharing of
the author's industrially proven track record of development,
design, and manufacturing, along with their visionary approach to
the technology, will allow readers to jump ahead in their
understanding of the core of the topic in a very effective way.
Students, researchers, engineers, and technologists involved in
silicon-based sensor and actuator research and development will
find a wealth of useful and groundbreaking information in this
book.
