Design-flexible technology

Ceramic materials, bonded by a mineral binder system which cures at ambient temperature, have been formulated to be sprayed on the outside of an air-inflated form or mold. The combination of chemically-bonded ceramics and pneumatic technologies heralds a dramatic breakthrough in construction cost, efficiency, strength and design flexibility. 

With respect to other osmotic technologies, asymmetric membranes ensure higher water permeability reflecting in the possibility of greater designing flexibility. Indeed, fast release rate can be achieved and lower solubility drugs can be... 

This chapter presents an overview of performance plastic polymers in commercial planar and 3-dimensional circuit board products, and describes in detail one approach (two-shot molding) developed as an integrated 3-D circuit manufacturing technology. The distinctions between conventional planar (2-dimensional) circuitry, based on thermoset laminates and "subtractive etching processes, and the enhanced design flexibility afforded by expanded interconnection capacity in three axes are discussed. Specific examples of 3-dimensional interconnect protoypes and products are described and pictured. 

As the need for enhanced safety features, better styling, and improved technology is placed on OEMs, continual pressure is exerted on the packaging space available for hardware, trim and available space in the auto body structure. Design-flexible materials like baffles and seals are targeted for change. Accommodation for water management is now placed on parts that historically have not been expected to handle them.

FPGA can be conceived as one application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) in a prototype stage. Two technologies have their own pros and cons, hence have their market share based on application. Major differences between ASIC and FPGA come from costs, tool availability, performance, and design flexibility. The major distinct features have been compared in Table APV/1.3-1. 

Lithium-ion batteries are the best choice in both cases, because of their high energy density and design flexibility that make these system outperform the various existing technologies. 

Pyroelectric sensors have recently been increasingly employed for sensing purposes. Excellent piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties of pyroelectric materials, combined with design flexibility and miniaturization offered by thin-film geometry and also developments in micro-and nanoscale fluids technologies have generated great... 

The PSA technology is a very versatile gas separation tool. Many different PSA processes have been developed for purification of H2 during the last thirty five years. The effort remains unabated. A survey shows that 275 U.S. Patents on H2 PSA were issued during 1978- 2005 to 73 corporations around the world [6]. The following section briefly describes four different H2 PSA processes in order to demonstrate the versatility and the design flexibility of this technology ...
