Less is more, part 7

Maximum flexibility with minimum impact This will be the last in the less is more series and is "tech heavy" again. In the last posting we described the concept of an error budget as used in design of precision machines and then proposed to apply a parallel concept as a "sustainability budget" for including the environmental/resource impacts in the design process. We hoped 2 with this to design a machine that met both the requirements for machine performance as well as a more sustainable (or at least greener) machine. We ended with a description of the construction of a sustainability budget following the three basic steps: Step 1: determine an energy, material and resources (consumables, etc.) model of the machine and its principal components in the form of a series of relationships defining the energy consumption, materials use as a function of machine design or operation. (This might be referred to as energy or materials mapping.)

David Dornfeld Berkeley, CA, United States Dornfeld received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from UW-Madison in 1976 and is Will C. Hall Family Professor and Chair of Mechanical Engineering at University of California Berkeley. He leads the Laboratory for Manufacturing and Sustainability (LMAS) (lmas.berkeley.edu) studying green/sustainable manufacturing; analysis of manufacturing processes; precision manufacturing (specially CMP for semiconductor mfg); machine interoperability for process monitoring and optimization.

Step 2: analyze systematically each type of energy and material use in the system and determine the relative performance-energy/material impact (for example, from Ashby charts). Step 3: combine the energy/materials impacts to yield upper and lower bound estimates of the total energy/material impact of the machine. We noted that it was important that the embedded energy and materials must be counted.

So, now an example of constructing a sustainability budget. The critical part of building these budgets (error or sustainability) is accumulating the data needed to 3 populate the budget. Material data sources are very helpful in determining the basic materialperformance characteristics (like modulus of elasticity, thermal properties, density) that are of use in 4 machine design as we have seen. But, these need to be connected to embedded energy and operating energy consumption for use in a sustainability budget. Although there are many materials texts available, one excellent source of such connections is the text book Materials: Engineering, Science, Processing and Design by Ashby, Shercliff and Cebon, Elsevier, 2010. Ashby uses an approach (or strategy) for materials selection which is comprised of four steps: - translation of design requirements in terms of function, objectives, etc. 5 - screening to select most usable materials meeting the requirements 6 - ranking with respect to some set of criteria, and - documentation on background and history of the material in this or related uses This strategy attempts to get the best match between the characteristics of materials (or processes if the four steps are used for process selection) and those required by the design (functionality and constraints). 8 We would add, as one of the screening elements, the need to assess environmental compatibility, energy use and embedded energy, global warming gas emission impacts, etc. Embedded energy is that energy that has gone into the mining, conversion, processing, and transportation of the material up to the point it enters our control or manufacturing facility for use in our product. This would work as follows. The machine designer first determines the specifications required for the precision device as usual as inputs to the left side of figure below (from Dornfeld Precision Engineering, Springer, 2010). A parallel discussion could be had for a process design or system of devices of processes but to simplify the discussion we stay with one device here - a precision machine.

Nissan's Future Mind-Reading Cars Won't Steer You Wrong

BY Ariel Schwartz Thu Sep 29, 2011

Forget self-driving cars; Nissan and the cole Polytechnique Fdrale de Lausanne in Switzerland (EPFL) have teamed up to work on mind-reading vehicle technology. Truly handsfree driving may not be too far off. Thought control via brain machine interface isn't a new idea EPFL researchers are already working on mind-reading wheelchair systems. But the concentration levels required to control thought-reading systems is extremely high, which is why EPFL and Nissan are working on a device that uses statistical analysis to predict a driver's next move. The system monitors brain activity, eye movement, and the surrounding environment to predict whether a driver plans to, say, make a right turn, speed up, or change lanes9 on the highway. "The idea is to blend driver and vehicle intelligence together in such a way that eliminates conflicts between them, leading to a safer motoring environment," explained Professor Jos del R. Milln of EPFL in a statement. As with self-driving cars, we imagine that there are still a number of kinks to work out. What happens if the brain machine interface malfunctions and misreads brain activity? Could the system be infected by a virus? It will be a while before anyone has the chance to find out. Nissan hasn't yet given any estimates as to when the technology might be ready for real-world vehicle testing. So send good thoughts.
