203- Chapter 17 - A Computer Scientist’s Dream for Designing Houses-Mind to Machine.
204- Brooks suggests a computer interface for designing houses and buildings.
205- Designs start off with ideas not from scratch completely. ie top down design
206- Suggests there should be exemplars the user can start from to use the truthfulness mode method.
207-This method may affect the creativity how do you put thoughts into computer system. Design can be thought of a noun and verb a rhythm.
208- diagram of the structure of an imperative sentence; nouns:clicks::verbs:double clicks verb command.
209- Ideally we would like voice commands. Compares the verbs in the cad program.
210- Objects should be specified by names which can be confusing if you have multiple one with same name. One object can have different names, and it can be pointed to.
211- To draw a 3D drawing,start off with a 2D drawing, 3D can be complicated but you can imitate it with 2D
212-Text is used for specifications adverbs commands and verbs can be implemented trying to find a amount
213- Specifying the interior of a house is important. The views can change depending eye height and other factors for 3D design. Walkthrough simulation
214- Allowing the user to walk through 3D in 2D views . All six views need to be seen.
215- tooth pick viewpointer, a joystick can help view the exterior of the house being designed.
216- Toothpick is discussed further also a rocking pendulum can give depth perception.

221- The display should be spatial. It should be able to zoom in and out and create or manipulate some local portion explaining 2D context view
222- Virtual environment should be used for the 3D viewing and shows its functionality. Possibly and view pointers and discusses exterior views
223- Explains the workbook view has a picture of cutaway apt
224- There should be specifications for drawings that are stylistic.
225- Audio displays can be used to add depth, and help in design windows and doors.

RESUMES
I like Mr. Zawacki because he is experienced, has a grad level education and finished in the top of his class in undergrad he seems well rounded also.
Ms, Corwin appears to be a PE, which is one reason I would like to hire her also I like her work experience with NASA and etc..
http://www.jfred.org/resume.html
I would be willing to hire Jason because he has a phd I know he is willing to work hard and he hast a couple patents, I would not have to worry about him finishing whatever I may give him to accomplish as long as it is reasonable.

YOUTUBE-Designing light bulbs to fail sooner
Starts off with customer trying to fix a printer but it will cost triple instead of just buying a new one. Planned obsolescence is where products are designed to fail at a certain point so you have to buy more.
Shows the light bulb was in Livermore fire department has been burning since 1901, and when they discovered started paying attention to it. Through it a birthday party for the light bulb with 900 people. Begins where the bulb came from the ladies putting it together Adolf invented his filament to last long. Begins a discussion of the lightbulb conspiracy and what companies were in on it and how they divided up the areas to sell and how many hours the light bulbs were allowed to last. How patents for for light bulbs to last longer were not allowed. How members of cartel were fined if they lasted too long.
The idea of this cartel is still present. Now they are relating this back to the ink jet printer, and how it uses ink to clean the heads then once the sponge gets full it decides to quit working and is designed to fail. Goes through the idea of how all this began with individuals making something newer and newer all the time. London says we should have planned obsolescence where there would always be a market for new good thus always job. However, his idea was ignored. Now in 1950's marketing created planned obsolescence Stephens said the consumer would push for something new although it wasn't needed. Approach was to make a American unhappy with the older product. Students are taught to design for business for frequent purchases. Chemists invents ever lasting thread how everyone gets upset workers for fear of job.How designer would set a life span Dupont made nylon stockings that lasted too long. They tried to make them where they would fail sooner. How the engineers felt about making a inferior product. While ink jet printers are designed to fail at a certain point using a chip. How planned obsolescence didn't occur in Germany in Communists economy how the fridges lasted 25 years. 1981 German company created a life long light bulb, and took it to a fair to see if westerners would buy it.
Consumers start to fight back with the internet and how the first movie is about Apple got sued for having the battery in the ipod only last 18 months, and tried to make people buy new ipods. How the scraps all go to third world countries and pollute and it is terrible and causing trash. The russian website to fight ink jet printers is also available to fight back against planned obsolescence. Phillips 25 year LED is discussed. Nature is also discussed as to how it produces abundantly but also uses the waste to be efficient.
The current situation is terrible, I think planned obsolescence is bad but I see how it can produce economic growth. I think it is terrible that too much goes to waste. We live on a finite planet and we will run out of resources and places to put trash. However, planned obsolescence with people wanting to buy newer and newer stuff isn't bad, they need self-control, but if they are planned to die 18 months later I think that is wrong.

188-Brooks and his friend's attempt to create a design trajectory using a design tree, but failed. Then he dives into their process of studying the house design process.
189-Their experience finding the transcription scheme and why they struggled so much was because they didn't have a rigorous definition for their design tree

191-Note of the house wing as design problems, and discussion of the errors encountered in designing the wing.
192- Discussion of design alternatives and how they are not easily realized, and how further discussion of how he changed the tree as the designs changed through the process.
193- Further discussion of how they changed the design tree as the design changed as the process continued, begins tree of decisions versus of designs.
194- Tree of designs is larger, so large in fact it is not practical in design process, but the concept is important. Begins how modular design differs and are easily represented as design trees.
195- Discussion of software tools to analyze a design decision tree, Task architect.
196- Project Mang Tools PERT, IBIS fit very well and Compendium had lots of advantages.

This is exactly what we are attempting to do transmit power wirelessly and data back. However, they are using a light as the power source with photodetectors to convert it to current and charge whatever they will try to power and send it back using the same principle Issued Jul18, 2006. This is a pretty neat idea its fulfills the same goal as our project but by light is pretty cool we thought about doing that but felt more comfortable with inductance and that we would be able to more power across using inductors.

182- notes and references

Company: Emerson Process Management (Knoxville)
They create instrumentation to monitor vibration for large mechanical assets, motors, pumps etc.. To predict something that may go wrong so you can fix it before your asset is critically damaged. Located 835 Innovation dr. Knoxville TN. Begin in early 1980's employs 125-250, Knoxville location revenue I am not sure about I do however know their sales are above 100 million.
Comments:
From Wally Lowry
Hardware engineer
He said we need to construct our input power circuit to drive our primary coil, and like to see measurements of the power transfer efficiency at different frequencies and different distances to find our optimum power transfer coils. Ultimately, wants to see more implementation, since our goal was to use the power transfer system for a implanted chip.
