Conceptual Design of Modularized Advanced Mechatronic Systems
Gausemeier, Jürgen; Steffen, Daniel; Donoth, Jörg; Kahl, Sascha // 2009
Future mechatronic systems will have inherent partial intelligence. We call these systems "self-optimizing" systems. Their functionality leads to increased complexity of their development. ...
Conceptualization of biomimetic sensors through functional representation of natural sensing solutions
Stroble, Jacquelyn Kay; McAdams, Daniel A.; Stone, Robert B. // 2009

Conceptualizing and Designing the Process of Appropriation: The Story of a Disappearance
Gapenne,Olivier; Declerck,Gunnar // 2009
We consider here two modes of relation to an instrument: “in-hand” and “put-down”. For the user, these two modes are phenomenologically mutually exclusive; we discuss the conditions for passing from ...
Consumer Comprehension of the Communication Designs for Food Packaging
Wang, W. Y.Regina; Chou,Mu-Chien // 2009

Boolean Searches
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:
- design community
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. - +design +community
Find rows that contain both words. - +design community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”. - +design -community
Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”. - +design ~community
Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not. - +design +(>community <decisions)
Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions” - design*
Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”. - "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
