Go with the [Data] Flow - The Secret to Digital Prototyping

 

Go with the [Data] Flow - The Secret to Digital Prototyping Digital pipeline must allow information to flow freely, without creating a situation where too much or too little information circulates. One hundred twenty-five conceptual designers. A handful of engineers. Thousands of decision-makers. Seventy-two hours to take their input from idea to physical prototype in a trade show exhibit booth. Was this a trade-show stunt or factory of the future? Inventor Ben Kaufman pulled off this collaborative feat at the MacWorld trade show in 2007. Outrageous or visionary, the exercise suggests the challenge of managing input and development concurrently-albeit under extreme circumstances. More>>

Bone Simulations to Aid Diagnosis of Osteoporosis

Bone Simulations to Aid Diagnosis of Osteoporosis

Using an IBM®Blue Gene/L supercomputer, scientists of the ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology) and the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory demonstrated the most extensive simulation yet of real human bone structures, providing doctors with a "high-definition" view of fragility or strength of bones they never had before. This achievement could lead to better clinical tools to improve the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis.
