Applying “Design Thinking” in the context of media management education

“Design Thinking” – a cross-disciplinary and user centered method – is an approach towards the discovery of solutions and sparks innovative thinking in many ways. It also can be argued, that designers put themselves in the place of the user rather than co-creating with the consumer. Innovation is one of the current keywords across many industries, and many attempt to find new solutions to daily problems. Design Thinking as method allows to understand user needs and understand their principle problems in daily life. The design process uses intensive collaboration in cross-disciplinary settings and is divided into the exploration of the problem space and the solution space to achieve new ways of solving existing problems. Design Thinking has to integrate into the innovation process and into organizational structures right from the beginning. It constitutes a complement to classical analytical processes for problems that require lateral, not linear thinking. This article reviews the practical application of this energetic methodology in the academic context and presents some hands-on examples. The course series has been established by the Entertainment and Media Management Lab. (EMMi Lab.) at the Tampere University of Technology (TUT) and was held in cooperation with students from the University of Tampere (UTA), and the Tampere University of Applied Sciences (TAMK). One course has been held in cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg-Stendal, Germany. This article describes how to train students especially with strong technical background and analytical mind-sets in the development of innovations in the field of media, foster creative thinking, and achieve problem solutions beyond the current state of the art. We present the basic curriculum, course structure, goals & objectives, applied methods, settings, and theoretical aspects of Design Thinking. Our experience and reflections on conducting the courses concludes this article. The article shall be an introductory guide for anyone who intends to organize a similar course in the university context.

Synthesis,characterization, and optoelectronic properties of two new polyfluorenes/poly(p‐phenylenevinylene)s copolymers

Two novel copolymers of polyfluorenes/poly(p‐phenylenevinylene)s copolymers with p‐tert‐butyl‐phenylenemethylene groups in the C‐9 position of alternating fluorene unit, poly[1,4‐(2,5‐dibutyloxyl)‐phenyleneviny lene‐alt‐9‐(p‐tert‐butyl‐phenylenemethylene)fluorene] and poly[1,4‐(2,5‐dioctyloxyl)‐phenylenevinylene‐alt‐9‐(p‐tert‐butyl‐phenylenemethylene)fluorine], have been synthesized via the Heck polycondensation reaction. The synthesized polymers were characterized by FTIR, NMR, DSC, TGA, UV–vis, and PL spectra. The polymers showed high glass transition temperatures and good thermal stability. A polymer light‐emitting diode with the configuration ITO/PEDOT:PSS/P2/Ca/Al has been fabricated. The device emitted a yellow light with a peak wavelength of 578 nm similar to the PL spectra of the copolymer film. A maximal luminance of 534 cd/m² was obtained at a driving voltage of 24.5 V. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 102: 3955–3962, 2006

Stabilization And Tracking Of Underactuated Surface Vessels In Random Waves With Fin Based On Adaptive Hierarchical Sliding Mode Technique

Trajectory tracking and roll stabilization are both vital practices in ship motion control. Trajectory tracking is a kind of low‐frequency control, while roll stabilization by means of fins is a kind of high‐frequency control. However, they have been studied separately previously; most tracking control of underactuated surface vessels in the previous studies do not account for roll stabilization by means of fins. In reality, however, they are an integral system. In this paper, a simple control strategy is proposed to achieve trajectory tracking and fin roll stabilization simultaneously. Four degrees of freedom derived from a six degrees of freedom mathematical model of a surface vessel is considered, including surge, sway, roll and yaw. Surge force, roll moment and yaw moment are considered as control inputs, while position, yaw angle and roll angle are controlled. The number of control inputs is fewer than the outputs to be controlled. Therefore, we are dealing with an underactuated problem. An adaptive hierarchical sliding mode control technique is employed to deal with the underactuation. Stabilization of underactuated surface vessels is studied as a special case. Random waves are applied to test the robustness of the designed controllers. Lyapunov stability theory is used to show the stability of closed‐loop system. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

Optimization of injection molding design. Part I: Gate location optimization

The placement of a gate in an injection mold is one of the most important variables of the total mold design. The quality of the molded part is greatly affected by the gate location, because it influences the manner in which the plastic flows into the mold cavity. Some defects, such as weldline and overpack, can be effectively controlled only by the gate location. Therefore, the product quality can be greatly improved by determining the optimum gate location. In this paper, we develop a general methodology for gate location optimization. We first quantify quality in terms of flow simulation outputs. We can thus assess detrimental effects such as warpage and dimensional instability as a function of the independent variable, which is in this case the gate location. Next we develop methods to search for the optimum gate location. The search method introduced in this paper is a method that combines a deterministic hill climbing search with a stochastic annealing search method. The method is appropriately called simulated annealing and hill climbing (SANHIL). The criteria used for evaluation during the search process are a function of the flow simulation outputs. We demonstrate the success of the method for a complex industrial mold. The approach is applicable to any complex mold geometry and any plastic.     

秋季太湖叶绿素a浓度荧光反演研究

基于2007年11~12月太湖全湖实测水质参数和光谱数据,首先利用高斯方程对遥感反射率进行过滤分解,找出叶绿素a(chl\|a)吸收峰675 nm以后的荧光反射峰(Fluorescence Peak:FP),再以662 nm处的反射率为基准,采用归一化荧光高度法进行叶绿素a浓度(C chl-a)反演,得到chl-a反演模型。基于高斯分解获取的chl-a的荧光反射峰值R(FP)与662 nm处的反射率R (662)比值［R(FP)/R(662)］与C chl-a之间存在显著的相关性,该模型为秋季太湖水体C chl-a的最佳反演模型。在高悬浮泥沙条件下,该模型能够较好地表示出叶绿素荧光高度与叶绿素浓度之间的关系,为C chl-a反演提供新的方法和依据,并为传感器敏感波段的选取和设置提供参考。     

基于Fisher字典学习稀疏表示的高光谱图像分类

近年基于稀疏表示的分类框架(Sparse Representation based Classification,SRC)在计算机视觉和模式识别领域取得了巨大成功,高光谱图像解译也逐渐引入稀疏表示方法。针对基于SRC的高光谱图像分类算法随机抽取训练样本构成字典较难捕获相似类别的相对差异性信息问题,提出采用Fisher字典学习方法增强相似类训练样本的可区分性。此外,考虑到高光谱图像具有较强空间相关性的特点,设计一种简单有效的投票策略进行类别判决。大量实验表明:基于Fisher字典学习的联合投票分类方法能够较好地改善高光谱分类精度。
