  • Torched Penny Repair Paint Application Guideline-Admila
    xB RS 4.0 is out and looks to be a hit with our customers. We have noticed some chatter on the web regarding the special Torched Penny paint and its repairability. I wanted to provide you with some first hand information and dispel some of the rumors. • Yes, the paint does cost more than normal paint Why = It is due to the special color changing characteristics (high pigmentation) of the paint • No, you do not need to re-paint the whole car if you get into an accident or get a scratch. Why = Due to the color changing paint it is actually easier to blend and match than traditional paints (its harder to see the painting mistakes). Spot painting instructions are attached. • No, the color is not difficult to match Why = Due to the color changing paint it is actually easier to blend and match than traditional paints (it’s harder to see the painting mistakes). • Yes, there are paint companies offering this paint for repairs. I am pleased to announce that all of the paint companies listed below have successfully achieved color matches for the Scion xB 3R2 "Torched Penny" color. • PPG - 10/6/06 - completed with successful color match • BASF - 9/4/06 - completed with successful color match • Sherwin Williams - 10/17/06 - completed with successful color match • DuPont - 11/10/06 - completed with successful color match • Akzo Nobel - 11/09/06 - completed with successful color match See attached paint repair application guide that was produced by Nippon Paint, the manufacturer of Maziora.

The bioinspired solutions often overcome challenges present in a wide array of industries. These case studies are meant to help companies, research teams, and organizations better understand how bioinspired innovation can be successfully implemented to tackle industrial challenges, minimize risk, maximize profits, and reduce environmental impact. 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design Improving Health and Well-Being in the Built Environment Biophilic design can reduce stress, enhance creativity and clarity of thought, improve our well-being and expedite healing; as the world population continues to urbanize, these qualities are ever more important. Theorists, research scientists, and design practitioners have been working for decades to define aspects of nature that most impact our satisfaction with the built environment. 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design articulates the relationships between nature, human biology and the design of the built environment so that we may experience the human benefits of biophilia in our design applications. This paper moves from research on biophilic responses to design application as a way to effectively enhance health and well- being for individuals and society. © 2014 Terrapin Bright Green Midcentury (Un)Modern An Environmental Analysis of the 1958-73 Manhattan Office Building This paper compares the relative opportunities of retrofit vs.

  • Predicting Technical Value of Technologies Through Their Knowledge Structure
    PREDICTING TECHNICAL VALUE OF TECHNOLOGIES THROUGH THEIR KNOWLEDGE STRUCTURE Praveena Chandra A thesis submitted to fulfil requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies The University of Sydney Australia February 2019 i Abstract This thesis tests the hypothesis that the characteristics displayed by the knowledge structure of a high technical value invention is different from that of a low technical value invention. The knowledge structure represents the relationship of the invention with all the prior knowledge upon which it is based. This structure crystalizes at the inception of the invention making it ideal for evaluating new inventions. More specifically, this research investigates two characteristics of the knowledge structure: knowledge accumulation and knowledge appropriation. Knowledge accumulation is defined as the collective body of knowledge, know-how and experiences gathered in a sector over time that have contributed to the creation of the invention. A higher degree of accumulated knowledge is more likely to be associated with high technical value inventions. Knowledge appropriation describes absorption of knowledge in the creation of the invention. From a knowledge structure perspective, knowledge absorption is observed by the emergence of edges that connect knowledge elements together. The robustness of this emergent knowledge structure is thus an indicator of the amount of knowledge appropriated by the invention. This research introduces a new metric for the measurement of knowledge accumulation and presents structural robustness as an indicator of knowledge appropriation. Knowledge accumulation and knowledge appropriation are tested as characteristics associated with knowledge structures and are hypothesized to be positively correlated with the technical value of the invention.
