Abstract:
Creative people, entrepreneurs and start-up founders using innovation spaces and hubs often find themselves inside a filter bubble or echo chamber, where like-minded people tend to come up with similar ideas and recommend similar approaches to innovation. This trend towards homophily and a polarisation of like-mindedness is aggravated by algorithmic filtering and recommender systems embedded in current technology and social media platforms. Yet, genuine innovation thrives on social inclusion fostering a diversity of ideas. To provide the opportunity to escape these echo chambers, Skunkworks Finder was designed and tested – an exploratory tool that employs social network analysis to help users discover spaces of difference and otherness in their local urban innovation ecosystem. A design inclusive research approach was adapted focusing on user-centred design choices in order to verify and validate the prototype and its according premise. Results show, that an introduction of Skunkworks Finder or similar functionality is anticipated by study participants, as participants indicated individual experiences of forming filter bubbles in innovation spaces. However, changes in design would improve comprehensibility issues addressed during the user study. Additionally, an integration of such a system into an established online tool would ensure a distribution to a wider audience, than focusing only on potential users who are already affiliated with an innovation environment.

Abstract:
This study deals with finding a way to enable citizen-led urban innovation through technology while concentrating on various aspects of controversial city developments. Therefore the literature concerning this topic is first investigated and current online systems designed for citizens to engage in city development decisions explored. In addition, literature, approaches and systems related to conflict resolution are also presented and discussed. By means of applying multiple design cycles, including several user studies, an online platform for citizens to elaborate controversial ideas for the city together was developed. These design cycles were focused on first finding a suitable process to elaborate on ideas and find consent. The process implementing this is tested during two workshops that portray the procedure that would be realised on the platform. Findings after each workshop are used to revise the process. In order to design a user interface that could implement such a process first an expert focus group was asked to brainstorm solutions for multiple design questions. Considering this input two platform mock-ups were created and shown to participants to receive feedback. A final prototype of the online platform was then implemented and tested in a final user study. During this study participants elaborated an idea together to test the whole resulting product, while being able to use the online platform in an in the wild setting. In spite of discovering how dependent the usage of the platform is on its users, the feedback received for the general idea of using an online platform to elaborate on ideas and find consent was overall positive.

Full text
Abstract:
There has been increasing interest in open innovation in academic research as well as industry application since the concept was introduced in 2003. The concept got much attention because of its economic benefits and novel means for facilitating innovation. This thesis aims to adapt the concept of open innovation to the university environment, in order to foster innovation in the development process for intellectual property (IP) derived from academic research activities. It contributes to the literature on open innovation adapted to the university context, i.e. open collaboration on the development of intellectual property towards a commercial ready stage. In order to investigate the potential of open innovation in the university environment, a focus group was conducted. In addition, the business process of Quirky Inc. was analysed as an example to better understand how open innovation works in the business context. The results of the study’s data analyses inform new opportunities for interventions in universities towards fostering different approaches to IP development as research outcomes. Further, it reveals interventions that can promote open innovation approaches in the university’s context more generally.

Abstract:
The conservation of historic cultural landscapes in Queensland is in its infancy. Effective conservation practice, however is based on sound historical information, and no previous study has investigated the historical development of local parks, gardens and other landscapes. The objectives of this research were to examine the factors which influenced landscape design in Queensland, to identify the forms and expressions of design derived from these influences, and to identify any distinctive aspects related to local landscape character. The timeframe chosen for this investigation was from the beginning of the separate colony of Queensland (1859) to the outbreak of World War 2 (1939). Using historical method, the research began with an exploration of published primary sources (particularly garden literature from the 1860s to 1930s) related to Queensland and other 'tropical' areas. A series of hypotheses was proposed to explain the findings, and these were tested by further analysis and data gathering. There followed a triple-layered central proposition, suggesting that: (i) in Queensland, the traditional delineation of styles to describe landscape design is of limited application because of the lack of elite professional designers and wealthy clients; (ii) there developed a discernible 'tropical landscape design character' in suitable climatic areas, which included two distinct visual aspects expressed in the landscape (the 'exotic' and the 'prosaic'); and, (iii) these design outcomes were the result of a design process of 'acclimatisation' experienced by early settlers (gardeners and designers) working in unfamiliar lands and climates, and includes the stages of experimentation, adaptation and innovation.

Abstract:
Sense-making of spatial data on an urban level and large-scale decisions on new infrastructure projects need teamwork from experts with varied backgrounds. Technology can facilitate this collaboration process and magnify the effect of collective intelligence. Therefore, this work explores new useful collaboration interactions and visualizations for map-exploration software with a strong focus on usability. Additionally, for same-time and same-place group work, interactive table-top displays serve as a natural platform. Thus, the second aim of this project is to develop a user-friendly concept for integrating table-top displays with collaborative map-exploration. To achieve these goals, we continuously adapted the user-interface of the map-exploration software RAISE. We adopted a user-centred design approach and a simple iterative interaction design lifecycle model. Alternating between quick prototyping and user-testing phases, new design concepts were assessed and consequently improved or rejected. The necessary data was gathered through continuous dialogue with users and experts, a participatory design workshop, and a final observational study. Adopting a cross-device concept, our final prototype supports sharing information between a user’s personal device and table-top display(s). We found that this allows for a comfortable and practical separation between private and shared workspaces. The tool empowers users to share the current camera-position, data queries, and active layers between devices and with other users. We generalized further findings into a set of recommendations for designing user-friendly tools for collaborative map-exploration. The set includes recommendations regarding the sharing behaviour, the user-interface design, and the idea of playfulness in collaboration.

Full text
Abstract:
The ACR-1000™ developed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) is a 1200 MWe - pressure tube type, light-water-cooled and heavy-water-moderated reactor, which has evolved from the well-established CANDU™ line of reactors. It retains the basic proven CANDU design features while incorporating innovations and state-of-the-art technologies to ensure fully competitive safety, operation, performance and economics. The major innovation in the ACR-1000 is the use of slightly enriched uranium fuel and light water coolant. ACR-1000 is a four-quadrant design (for easier maintenance and improved reliability). There are five safety systems in the ACR-1000; (i) two independent, diverse and fast acting shutdown systems (SDS1 and SDS2), which are physically and functionally independent from each other and from the reactor regulating system; (ii) Emergency core cooling system; (iii) Emergency Feedwater system; and (iv) Containment system, which includes a strong steel-lined containment structure. In addition the Reserve water system provides feedwater to the heat transport system, steam generators, moderator and shield cooling system for beyond design basis accidents. The Level 1 Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA) is conducted in support of the design phase of the ACR-1000. The purpose of Level 1 PSA is to identify whether the ACR-1000 design targets and the regulatory safety goal for severe core damage frequency (SCDF) are met with adequate margin and provide design feedback. An interim Level 1 PSA was conducted for internal at-power events. Interim assessments were conducted for shutdown state, internal fire and flood at-power events. An interim seismic margin assessment was conducted for the seismic events. The Level 1 PSA results show that the ACR™ design targets and safety goal for SCDF are met with significant safety margin. Based on the ACR-1000 Level 1 PSA, the accident behaviours of the ACR-1000 are well understood and their consequences can be predicted with a high-level of confidence. It also provides sufficient assurance that the release based regulatory safety goals are achievable for ACR-1000. The Level 1 PSA results also signify a robust design that provides a strong foundation for the ACR-1000 design. The paper summarizes the Level 1 PSA program, methodology followed, the results obtained, and insights gained during the development of the ACR-1000 Level 1 PSA.

Full text
Abstract:
Press hardening is an innovative technology being applied to meet the growing demands for both lightweight and crash performance qualities. To further increase the lightweight potential, closed profiles are being used. As a result, a method has been developed at the Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWU which allows the integration of press hardening of tubes and closed profiles into the media-based forming process. Using this press hardening technology, the original material strength of 500 MPa can be increased to between 1200 and 1900 MPa, depending on the chosen material. The engineering of tube press hardening is more complex than other forming processes, specifically the time dependence in combination with heat management makes it difficult. Therefore the use of FEA is indispensible when dealing with aspects such as heat treatment, the forming process itself, the cooling caused by the gaseous forming media and the general heat management of the tooling. To control and improve the process and therefore the part quality and process reliability, all these factors and their dependencies have to be taken into account. In addition to 22MnB5, other manganese-boron alloyed steels and different heating strategies have been tested. Based on these experiments the process capability was successfully proven and technological limits were obtained. Current investigations are focused on realizing tailored properties thus creating areas with varied strength and ductility in a single part.

Abstract:
Jointed precast concrete pavement was recently used to reconstruct large multi-lane areas of one of the busiest areas of Interstate H-1 near Honolulu, Hawai'i, USA. The design-build project was awarded in early January 2018 and more that 1200 precast panels were designed, fabricated and installed less than 7 months later using mostly 8-hour overnight work windows. There were several unusual and innovative aspects to this project, including: (1) variation in the type and layout of joints when replacing travel lanes with rectangular precast panels adjacent to existing skewed, random-length cast-in-place panels; (2) the use of ground-penetrating radar to map original pavement structures that varied greatly along the project length and between lanes; (3) the development of ``3-D'' design models for the new surface to improve ride quality and cross-slope; (4) the use of ``3-D'' panel fabrication techniques; (5) the use of laser-controlled construction equipment to construct contoured foundation surfaces that fully support the non-planar precast panels and allow immediate temporary use without grout, thereby extending productivity in short overnight work windows; (6) the use of optimized dowel placement (below mid-depth) and headed ``dowel-in'' tie assemblies to reduce slot sizes, improve panel integrity, and reduce panel grout requirements; (7) the placement of temporary asphalt layers to eliminate major drop-offs between lanes during construction; and (8) the development of specially shaped transition panels and bridge approach panels. This paper describes the unique aspects of precast pavement design and construction for this project and presents ``lessons learned'' and recommendations developed from the project.

Abstract:
Abstract 3D printed flexible sensors have demonstrated great potential for utilization in a variety of different applications including healthcare, environmental sensing, and industrial applications. In recent years, research on this topic has increased to meet low-cost sensing needs due to the development of innovative materials and printing techniques that reduce cost, production time, and enhance the electrical and mechanical properties of the sensors. This paper presents computational simulations of 3D printed flexible sensors, capable of producing an output signal based on the deformation caused by external forces. Two different sensors were designed and tested, working based on a capacitance and resistance change produced by structural deformation. The capacitance sensor was designed maximizing the area of the electrodes and distributing the electrodes over a flexible membrane taking advantage of the produced deformation to reduce the distance between the electrodes. The reduction in the distance between the electrodes increases the capacitance value of the structure. The capacitance sensor was able to almost triple its baseline capacitance when 30 kPa of pressure was applied. The resistance sensor was designed with one continuous flexible conductive element attached to a flexible membrane, taking advantage of the distortion induced in the conductive element. The deformation in the conductive element increases the length of the resistor and causes the resistance value of the structure to increase. The resistance sensor was able to increase its resistance by 1200 ω with 30 kPa of applied pressure. Finally, preliminary results of 3D printed sensors were demonstrated.

Full text
Abstract:
Combustion chamber or combustor is one of the hottest parts of a gas turbine. Liner is where the actual flame occurs in a combustor and thus, the hottest part of the combustor. The temperature of working fluid inside a liner is about 1200 to 2000K. Because of the hot fluid, the liner is heated up to a temperature almost impossible for the material to withstand. Although the mechanical stresses experienced by the combustor liner are within acceptable limits, high temperatures and large temperature gradients affect the structural integrity of its components, which makes the liner a very critical component of a gas turbine in structural and thermal designs. Film cooling is a traditional method of cooling the inner surface of liner. In film cooling for a combustor, axial holes are drilled along the surface of the liner at discrete locations, through which cold air is injected axially into the liner to provide a film of cool air that prevents direct contact of hot air, and thus, protects the inner wall surface. The film is destroyed in the downstream to the flow because of mixing of cool and hot air. Though this method provides an acceptable cooling, there is a compromise with the increased net benefits of the gas turbine. Therefore, there is a need for new cooling techniques or enhancing the techniques available. The current work is a numerical simulation of film cooling in a model combustor. The effect of coolant injection angles and blowing ratios on film cooling effectiveness is studied. One innovative method, cooling with mist injection, is explored to enhance the performance of film cooling. The effect of droplet size and mist concentration, which can affect the performance of the mist injection, is also analyzed. Fluent, a commercial CFD software, is used in the current work for numerical simulations.

Abstract:
Abstract A conceptual design of digital Intelligent Production Integrity Operating Windows (IP-IOW) system, which is an unique and transformational solution to the oil and gas offshore industry focusing on maximizing production while optimizing equipment operation, was developed through a Nippon Foundation (NF) - DeepStar® partnership project. This connects the fluids system with the equipment system using IP-IOW architecture and specifications of a digital platform. The developed digital IP-IOW architecture contains five major evaluation modules, which are Component risk analysis (CRA), Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), Failure Evaluation (FE), Maintenance Evaluation (ME), and Reliability Availability, and Maintainability Analysis (RAMA) focusing on critical components, including subsea choke, flowline and riser, topside choke, topside equipment, and crude export line. Each module has a function of monitoring, risk evaluation or analysis of each component based on various existing databases and/or industrial standards. Component risk analysis (CRA) module is designed as a key module to evaluate individual risk of each component based on the evaluation results of the other modules and to provide IP-IOW dashboards through operation and maintenance analysis methods. CRA module analyzes operation and maintenance based on the likelihood of failure (probability of failure) as a function of operation and maintenance conditions and impact of the damage. Calculated safety operating windows (SOWs) and reliability operating windows (ROWs) would be indicated on the IP-IOW dashboard. In this project, detailed gap analysis was also conducted to gain an understanding of what relevant industry standards and practices have been published and how these publications have gaps with respect to IP-IOW. A completed search was made of technical indices and reference sources to identify codes and standards that may or can be used for developing Integrity Operating Windows (IOWs) for topside fixed equipment. Current API, DNV, and EI applicable recommended practices (RP) cover damaging effect, in-service inspection, risk ranking, repair items prioritization, and alteration of fixed equipment systems. However, the RPs do not cover how to integrate industry best practices into a real-time digital operating environment that is integral to the next generation O&M system. A critical recommendation is to connect the systems digitally allowing for data analytics using the Digital Twin of the asset. Several case studies on module development were conducted to demonstrate an example of the module development process and the workflow of module. RAM analysis on one of selected offshore production facilities identified top 30 high risk components from around 1200 components. A pilot physical model was also developed to enable the embodiment of a new industry recommended practice for offshore large scale of FPSO asset. This conceptual pilot has used the topside choke sand erosion connecting the fluid characterization (multi-phase flow) with the selected equipment to develop the correlation addressing major technical challenges of fixed equipment while maximizing production. An example of validation results of erosion module showed good agreement between actual inspection results and CFD calculation results. Overall, IP-IOW is designed based on rigorous CFD and field data to predict critical section of system and/or equipment likelihood of failure (LOF), such as Erosion with solids, flow induced vibration (FIV), acoustic induced vibration (AIV), vortex induced vibration (VIV), and corrosion in offshore environment. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has been sponsored by Nippon Foundation (NF) and DeepStar (DS) Joint Ocean Innovation R&D Program to perform a research study (Phase 1) of project titled "19143 Fixed Equipment Integrity Operating Windows based on Facility Operating Conditions" started from May 2019.

Abstract:
Abstract The buried depth of gas reservoir B is more than 6700m, the thickness of reservoir is about 180m, the porosity of reservoir matrix is mainly 5.0% - 7.0%, with an average of 6.3%, and the permeability of reservoir matrix is mainly 0.01-0.1mD, The average production capacity of the three wells is 0.08mD, the formation pressure is 116-126MPa, the formation temperature is 124-131°C, the wax content of the condensate oil is high, and the average wax content is 16.9%. In the early stage, the natural productivity of the three wells was low, and the daily gas production was 120000-180000 cubic meters after stimulation. During the production process, the wellhead temperature was 20°C-25°C, the wax freezing temperature was 35°C, and the wellbore wax plugging was serious, The wellbore was blocked, the gas well was forced to shut down, and the reserves of 100 billion cubic meters were unable to be used, so it was necessary to explore new wax control technology. Through investigation, a new type of solid particle paraffin inhibitor is introduced, which can enter the artificial fracture with proppant during fracturing. When the condensate gas passes through the fracture, it washes the solid paraffin inhibitor which enters with proppant, and becomes the condensate gas containing paraffin control components.Therefore,it is not easy to form wax after entering the wellbore, which makes the problem of wellbore paraffin formation change from "passive control" to "active control". Referring to the relevant experimental standards, the conductivity, crushing test, solid paraffin inhibitor and fracturing fluid compatibility test were carried out. The existing test standards of wax freezing point are all for waxy oil under normal pressure, but not for condensate gas. A set of innovative experimental method is designed to successfully test the wax freezing point of condensate gas containing wax control components, and obtain the wax control effect under different ratios of wax control agent and proppant, so as to optimize the amount of wax control agent used in the experiment. The results show that the solid paraffin inhibitor has good dispersibility and suspension, and has little influence on the conductivity of sand filled fractures. The paraffin control effect on condensate oil and gas in this block is good. The wax freezing point can be reduced by about 12°C-18°C, and the optimal dosage is proppant 1%-2%. Field test was carried out in B gas reservoir. After fracturing, 5mm nozzle was used for production, tubing pressure was 83.6MPa, wellhead temperature was 28.8°C, daily oil production was 10.72 cubic meters, daily gas production was 217000 cubic meters, wellhead temperature was lower than wax freezing temperature in this area. At present, it has been in production for 6 months, and there is no wax deposit in wellbore. The successful test of solid paraffin inhibitor in the fracturing of Kuqa ultra deep high pressure and high wax content tight condensate gas reservoir provides a powerful technical reference for the wellbore flow guarantee of condensate gas reservoir.

Abstract:
Abstract To improve the efficiency of gas turbines, the turbine inlet temperature needs to be increased. The highest temperature in the gas turbine cycle takes place at the exit of the combustion chamber and it is limited by the maximum temperature turbine blades, vanes and discs can withstand. A combination of advanced cooling designs and Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) are used to achieve material surface temperatures of up to 1200°C. However, further temperature increases and materials that can withstand the harsh temperatures are required for next-generation engines. Research is underway to develop next-generation CMCs with 1480 °C temperature capability, but accurate data regarding the thermal load on the components must be well understood to ensure the component life and performance. However, temperature data is very difficult to accurately and reliably measure because the turbine rotates at high speed, the temperature rises very quickly with engine startup and the blades operate under harsh environments. At the operating temperature range of CMCs, typically platinum thermocouples are used, however, this material is incompatible with silicon carbide CMCs. Other temperature techniques such as infrared cameras and pyrometry need optical access and the results are affected by changes in emissivity that can take place during operation. Offline techniques, in which the peak temperature information is stored and read-out later, overcome the need for optical access during operation. However, the presently available techniques, such as thermal paint and thermal crystals cannot measure above ∼1400°C. Therefore, a new measurement technique is required to acquire temperature data at extreme temperatures. To meet this challenge, Sensor Coating Systems (SCS) is focused on the development of Thermal History Coatings (THC) that measure temperature profiles in the 900–1600 °C range. THC are oxide ceramics deposited via air plasma spraying process. This innovative temperature profiling technique uses optically active ions in a ceramic host material that start to phosphoresce when excited by light. After being exposed to high temperatures the host material irreversibly changes at the atomic level affecting the phosphorescence properties which are then related to temperature through calibration. This two-part paper describes the THC technology and demonstrates its capabilities for high-temperature applications. In this second part, the THC is implemented on rig components for a demonstration on two separate case studies for the first time. In one test, the THC was implemented on a burner rig assembly on metallic alloys instrumented with thermocouples, provided by Pratt & Whitney Canada. In another test, the THC was applied to environmental barrier coatings developed by NASA, as part of a ceramic-matrix-composite system and heat-treated up to 1500°C. The results indicate the THC could provide a unique capability for measuring high temperatures on current metallic alloys as well as next-generation materials.
