Knowledge twisting is defined as a kind of manipulation of Physics P/Structure S/Design D in order to achieve various Function(s) F. This paper presents a method in which prior synthesis of function structure is not required for product concept. Empirical analysis has shown that the use of this method does not lead to a combinatorial explosion. The method is based on the chaining of physical laws and complementary basic schemata.

Within the knowledge-based economy several institutions are involved in product innovation processes. They are presented in the Triple Helix model of institutional relations within new product development (NPD). We have tested and supported the claim that the user and the society are equal partners in the product innovation process. We have put forward the Fourfold Helix model that features a new formation of institutional relations where special focus is placed on the involvement of the user and the society in NPD.

The article presents the information support and an algorithm for a dynamic planning model, based on a genetic algorithm. With the GA the machine utilization was increased, throughput time was reduced, costs and delivery delays were improved.

The connection between the design intent and the fabrication still presents a challenge when creating a support structure that is geometrically viable and should possess certain aesthetic, fabrication, thermal and strength requirements. Our approach uses beams of constant height, providing a parallel offset mesh suitable for constant insulation thickness between top and bottom closure layers. The article considers diffusion, averaging and global offset optimization problems of the support structure.

The problem of Tonks-Langmuir-type collisionless discharges is a very old and basic one but, unfortunately, has hitherto been solved only with various simplifying assumptions facilitating solution for restricted ranges of validity and particular applications. In the present paper we present a reliable method of solution not subject to any restriction of this kind, and demonstrate the results to be applicable in a practically unlimited range of plasma parameters appropriate for experimental and fusion-relevant plasmas.
