Leapfrog-IP Results: 3D Garment design and 2D flattening software


The 3D Design Module, to be integrated into commercial design software, is an advanced 3D design application that streamlines the entire product life-cycle. It enables a 3D simulation of garments on a 3D parametric human figure. For more information visit www.leapfrog-eu.org


Would there be off the shelf software I could buy that would reverse engineer software such as Collins?

software ?

Ah Love! could thou and I with Fate conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of Things entire,
Would not we shatter it to bits—and then
Re-mould it nearer to the Heart’s Desire!


there are 3D printers, that prints plastic printers. are there 3D scanners?

i understand that there are “scanners” that tells you how much of a certain element there are in a sample.

relating to this question, are there printers that also print other material?


Rapid Prototyping of Ubiquitous Computing Applications: Tools & Frameworks


Google Tech Talks March, 24 2008 ABSTRACT Yang Li – RESEARCH SCIENTIST Pervasive or ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) applications can support people’s everyday activities in the physical world by leveraging advances in sensor technologies and computing infrastructures. Designing ubicomp applications is challenging because our everyday activities are more complex, dynamic and less structured than the tasks supported by traditional desktop computing. Ubicomp design is difficult, time-consuming, and requires a high level of technical expertise, especially with sensor technologies. To address this, I created a set of rapid prototyping tools and frameworks. My early work with Topiary introduces high-level abstractions, such as maps and scenarios, for designers to easily model location contexts and specify location-based behaviors. Topiary also allows a design to be tested in the field via a Wizard of Oz approach, without deploying a location sensor infrastructure. My recent work is focused on activity-based ubicomp prototyping, a process for enabling long-term activities (such as keeping fit)—a larger unit for design than the tasks that are the focus of traditional design. To support such a process, I created ActivityDesigner, a system that allows designers to create functional prototypes of ubicomp applications based on field observations, and easily deploy and test these prototypes in situ.

Arduino Rapid Prototype with LCD, Servo & Optical Sensor


Using an Arduino, a servo, an optical sensor and a 16×2 LCD screen to create a rapid prototype device which will track a cumulative count (a count occurs each time the opto is interrupted) and a servo to simulate usage. Check out www.nyccnc.com for the code and vendor links.


Is reverse engineering illegal?

I want to crack the KFC original recipe, could I just reverse engineer the formula, use a microscope to identify the herbs and spices in the correct proportions?
