Lesson: No Valve in Vain Posted on February 8th, 2013 by Mary Lord Lesson from TeachEngineering.org. Contributed by the Techtronics Program, Pratt School of Engineering, Duke University. Note: This activity, part of a teachengineering curricular unit on Engineering and the Human Body that includes a lesson on the heart, could be enhanced with two preliminary heart-valve activities – Engineering the Heart and Saving a Life: Valve replacement Grade level: 6 – 8Time: 90 minutes Summary In this activity, teams of middle school “biomedical engineers” will learn about the engineering design process and how a one-way valve works by creating heart valves from tape, plastic tubing and a variety of other materials. Learning Objectives After doing this activity, students should be able to: Standards International Technology and Engineering Educators Association E. National Science Education Standards Form and function are complementary aspects of objects, organisms, and systems in the natural and designed world. Materials Procedure
Video Magnification banner slider Many seemingly static scenes contain subtle changes that are invisible to the naked human eye. However, it is possible to pull out these small changes from videos through the use of algorithms we have developed. Videos Software and Code Eulerian Video Magnification code Matlab code and executables implementing Eulerian video processing for amplifying color and motion changes. Phase Based Video Motion Processing code Matlab code for implementing the new and improved phase-based motion magnification pipeline. Videoscope Web interface for motion and color magnification.

DESIGN SQUAD NATION . Home Come play again later! Come play again tomorrow! Platforms The Aalto University Platforms are designed to initiate and coordinate multi- and interdisciplinary research and teaching in some thematic area. The Platforms bring together Aalto's competences in the area, and increase Aalto's external visibility. Primary purposes of the Platforms are to facilitate and strengthen the industry-academia collaboration, and to increase the internal cooperation within the University. The Platforms and their agendas are born through a bottom-up process, and aim at concrete benefits for the participating actors. Platforms are founded in areas where Aalto has competence both in methodologies, infrastructures, and applications.

Radically Cheap: The Story of Pat Delany, Open Source Machine Tools Advocate The ex-rancher felt empathy push his problem-solving mind into a new direction. He looked back at all those years he had tinkered with junk-built machine tools in his workshop — all that time spent poring over scans of antique how-to magazines looking for clever hacks to avoid having to buy new tools. It was fun and sometimes necessary for me, he thought, but what I’ve created here can also help many people. This is the story of Pat Delany, one of the leading creative voices in Appropriate Technology — technology that is small-scale, decentralized, labor-intensive, energy-efficient, environmentally sound, and locally controlled. Delany had worked with machines for his entire life and built many machines for himself. With his last $525, he started an oil and gas information service, Rigmatch Information, which originally ran via dialup on his son’s RadioShack Model 1 computer. The MultiMachine About 13 years ago, Delany decided to build himself a horizontal milling machine on the cheap.
