The company says the quartz product contin- ues to be owned by DuPont but will be rebranded as Corian Quartz. “The move from DuPont Zodiaq to Corian Quartz will better align the product with the brand’s design principles and allow Corian Design to more effi- ciently and effectively communicate the product of- fering to the market,” says Julie Eaton, global busi- ness director for Corian Design. In addition to the name change, the quartz prod- uct, which currently comes in 52 colors, will be avail- able in bolder designs, textures, and aesthetics, the company says. Customers can expect to start seeing Corian Quartz in the market effective imme- diately, and the company has kicked off its new ad campaign: Corian Design—Make Your Space. DuPont says all product warranties, properties, and service customers previously experienced with DuPont Zodiaq will remain unchanged with Corian Quartz. —Nigel F.

  • Thesis Strzelecka.Pdf (7.251Mb)
    School of Engineering and Sustainable Development One Utility for Sustainable Communities Modelling and Optimisation of Utility–Service Provision Anna Strzelecka Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November, 2017 Abstract Utility–service provision is a process in which products such as water, electricity, food, gas are transformed by appropriate devices into services satisfying human needs such as nutrition, thermal comfort, and wants such as e.g. entertainment. Utility products required for these processes are usually delivered to households via separate infrastructures, i.e. real-world networks such as electricity grids, wa- ter distribution systems or gas distribution networks. Additionally, they can be supplemented sourced locally from natural resources, e.g. electricity can be ob- tained from sun or wind. The main objectives of the research are to numerically evaluate feasibility of alternative approaches to utility–service provision prob- lems and automatically generate suggestions of such alternative approaches, using knowledge base of present and future technologies and devices. These objectives are achieved via a simulation system implemented in C# and .NET 4.0 that is composed of the following blocks: an interface to define the utility–service provision problem (problem formulation), an interface to define candidate solu- tions (transformation graphs), a computational engine to analyse the feasibility of transformation graphs, a heuristic search algorithm to generate transformation graphs and a XML database. The core of the proposed approach is a simulation system that carries out a feasibility study of transformation graphs. A transformation graph describes direct and indirect transformations of products into defined services or other products using various devices.

  • 2 the Robo-Toilet Revolution the Actress and the Gorilla
    George, Rose, 2014, The Big Necessity: The Unmentionable World of Human Waste and Why It Matters (pp. 39-64). Henry Holt and Co.. Kindle Edition. 2 THE ROBO-TOILET REVOLUTION THE ACTRESS AND THE GORILLA The flush toilet is a curious object. It is the default method of excreta disposal in most of the industrialized, technologically advanced world. It was invented either five hundred or two thousand years ago, depending on opinion. Yet in its essential workings, this everyday banal object hasn’t changed much since Sir John Harington, godson of Queen Elizabeth I, thought his godmother might like something that flushed away her excreta, and devised the Ajax, a play on the Elizabethan word jakes, meaning privy. The greatest improvements to date were made in England in the later years of the eighteenth century and the early years of the next by the trio of Alexander Cumming (who invented a valve mechanism), Joseph Bramah (a Yorkshireman who improved on Cumming’s valve and made the best lavatories to be had for the next century), and Thomas Crapper (another Yorkshireman who did not invent the toilet but improved its parts). In engineering terms, the best invention was the siphonic flush, which pulls the water out of the bowl and into the pipe. For the user, the S-bend was the godsend, because the water that rested in the bend created a seal that prevented odor from emerging from the pipe. At the height of Victorian invention, when toilets were their most ornate and decorated with the prettiest pottery, patents for siphonic flushes, for example, were being requested at the rate of two dozen or so a year.
