2001 ANNUAL REPORT DuPont at 200 In 2002, DuPont celebrates its 200th anniversary. The company that began as a small, family firm on the banks of Delaware’s Brandywine River is today a global enterprise operating in 70 countries around the world. From a manufacturer of one main product – black powder for guns and blasting – DuPont grew through a remarkable series of scientific leaps into a supplier of some of the world’s most advanced materials, services and technologies. Much of what we take for granted in the look, feel, and utility of modern life was brought to the marketplace as a result of DuPont discoveries, the genius of DuPont scientists and engineers, and the hard work of DuPont employees in plants and offices, year in and year out. Along the way, there have been some exceptional constants. The company’s core values of safety, health and the environment, ethics, and respect for people have evolved to meet the challenges and opportunities of each era, but as they are lived today they would be easily recognizable to our founder. The central role of science as the means for gaining competitive advantage and creating value for customers and shareholders has been consistent. It would be familiar to any employee plucked at random from any decade of the company’s existence. Yet nothing has contributed more to the success of DuPont than its ability to transform itself in order to grow. Whether moving into high explosives in the latter 19th century, into chemicals and polymers in the 20th century, or into biotechnology and other integrated sciences today, DuPont has always embraced change as a means to grow. -

Origami-based engineering provides advantages that are not readily available in traditional engineering design methods. Several processing methods were examined to identify trends and determine the effect of processing of PET sheets on the crease properties of origami mechanisms in PET. Various annealing times, temperatures, and cooling rates were evaluated and data collected for over 1000 samples. It was determined that annealing temperature plays the largest role in crease response. An increase in the crystallinity of a PET sheet while in the folded state likely increases the force response of the crease in PET sheets. -

Jan Smilek AUTOR PRÁCE SUPERVISOR doc. Ing. Zdeněk Hadaš, Ph.D. ŠKOLITEL BRNO 2018 ABSTRACT This thesis deals with the development of an independent power source for modern low-power electronic applications. Since the traditional approach of powering small applications by means of primary or secondary batteries lowers the user comfort of using such a device due to the necessary periodical maintenance, the novel power source is using the energy harvesting ap- proach. This approach means that the energy is scavenged from the ambience of the powered application and converted into electricity in order to satisfy the power requirements of the new- est MEMS electrical devices. The target applications for the new energy harvesting device are seen in wearable and biomed- ical electronic devices. That places challenging requirements on the energy harvester, as it has to harvest sufficient energy from the ambience of human body, while fulfilling practical size and weight constraints. After the preliminary requirements setting and analyses of possible sources of energy a kinetic energy harvesting principle is selected to be employed. A series of measurements is then con- ducted to obtain and generalize the kinetic energy levels available in the human body during various activities. A novel design of kinetic energy harvester is then introduced and developed into the form of a functional prototype, on which the actual performance is evaluated. -

A. John Joseph Clinton Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN : 2248-9622, Vol. 5, Issue 1( Part 4), January 2015, pp.07-16 RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Design and Fabrication of Moto Autor A. John Joseph Clinton*, P. Rajkumar** *(Department of Mechanical Engineering, Chandy College of Engineering, Affliated to Anna University- Chennai, Tuticorin-05) ** (Department of Mechanical Engineering, Chandy College of Engineering,Affliated to Anna University- Chennai, Tuticorin-05) ABSTRACT This project is based on the need for the unconventional motor. This work will be another addition in the unconventional revolution. Our project is mainly composed of design and fabrication of the ―MOTO AUTOR‖ which is a replacement of conventional motors in many applications of it. This motoautor can run on its own without any traditional input for fuelling it except for the initiation where permanent magnets has to be installed at first. It is a perpetual motion system that can energize itself by taking up the free energy present in the nature itself. This project enables to motorize systems with very minimal expenditure of energy.
