Greetings ASME Technology and Society Division (T&S) members!

The Technology and Society Division, like all other ASME technical divisions, must self-generate income to fund activities. ASME does not provide funding from membership dues. You may choose to make a voluntary tax-deductible contribution at the time of your annual member renewal by electing to donate to “Technical Division”. Since the Technology & Society Division is your primary Division your donation will be deposited into our account. On either the standard or the on-line form you will note an opportunity to provide this donation (in addition to opportunities to support your local Section and/or donate to the ASME Foundation, which are
also encouraged!).

On behalf of the Technology & Society Division, the Division Executive Committee asks that each Division member consider making a minimum ten dollar ($10) contribution, as part of your annual membership renewal, to “Technical Division”. This modest contribution on your part will provide the Division with much-needed operating funds to pursue sponsorship of sessions at ASME conferences, publication of a T&S Division Journal/Newsletter and other expenses.

Thank you for your support!

I have participated in this year IMECE program and submitted a draft for my idea and technology which got accepted and they asked me to submit a full-length draft for the same.
will it help me in filling a patent or copyright for my idea?

This is super interesting, but have you heard of a guy named Bill Masters? I recently read an article on OZY about how Masters developed the first 3D printing patent - then lost it. Anyone know anything about this?
Here it is for reference: http://www.ozy.com/flashback/and-he-could-have-been-the-father-of-3d-printing/81198#.WeXu6REalHI.twitter

He Nearly Invented 3D-Printing. Here's Why He Missed His Shot.

Before he missed the boat on 3D printing, Bill Masters helped create a wave of modern kayaking.

Wind turbines are point absorbers (of energy) , the underlying field theory also aoplies to radio antenna. and dipoles The optimum distance apart distances is Pi times the diameter of the absorber . In practice had a research student validate this value 35 years ago in both wave tank and open sea experiments using a single point ocean wave energy absorber..Prof Dabin will find the same thing . Fish shoals are NOT energy absorbers in fact a fish is attempting to miniimise enegy expenditures caused by swimming in the wake of the preceding fish . Ships propellers also have to operate in an uneven wake and to do so very efficiently also requires a little bit of ingenuity in the form of ducted flow..

I have been suffering from amyotrophic laterals sclerosis (ALS) disease for the last three years and had constant pain, especially in my knees. my first sign that something was wrong, was my slurred speech. And then the inability to eat without getting choked, strangled, and coughing.Throughout my three years ordeal, i was able to walk with assistance nothing was really working to help my condition.I went off the riluzole (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis herbal formula i ordered from Health Herbal Clinic, Just 7 weeks into the Herbal formula treatment I had great improvements with my slurred speech, there is no case of constant pain and chest tightness since treatment, visit Health Herbal Clinic official website www. healthherbalclinic. net or email info@ healthherbalclinic. net. This treatment is incredible!

I appreciated the timely article on "How to Make Houston Storm Resilient in August, coinciding with Harvey. However, it focussed on storm surge not epic rainfall amounts. I'd appreciate a follow-up article discussing the challenges of designing barriers to protect against storm surge without trapping rain run-off. I understand the Netherlands are now more concerned with potential flooding from rivers after completing their barriers from North Sea storm surges. Finally, shouldn't Houston prioritize resiliency projects and flood protection prior to re-building?

I have forwarded your posting to the Mechanical Engineering magazine staff and they will consider it for future coverage.

The article about Daqri's helmet was pretty interesting! I do believe that it can bring a new era in construction. The same applies to many different rugged devices.
We just wrote a blog post about rugged technology in construction which you can check here, if you feel like learning a bit more about it

Rugged Devices for Construction

The use of rugged devices can decrease the risk on the construction site and guarantee a smoother management of the whole project.

Anyone actually working on designing a better bicycle helmet? A friend of mine died on 9/18/2016 following a crash on his bike. He was wearing a helmet, but the helmet was crushed and he suffered a traumatic brain injury. His bike shows almost no damage. Something about his accident tells me the safety standards for conventional helmets are too low,

Sorry about your friend. And I agree, my helmet though is the standard in my area I don´t think it will be enough for me in an acident

Such technology is very worthwhile. But, It is important to trace the flow of one hundred percent of such materials from the point and time of implantation to the point and time of their departure from the human body.

A wall of FANS cleans air by Mr. Mark Crawford,Jun 2016. This phenomenon of co 2 capture involves lots of energy as friction losses are enormous.Where as Japanese scientists tried capture and carbon dioxide sequestration underneath earth and sea bed a decade ago.One should favor their efforts as it involves less energy contributing greatly to its transfer mechanism.Re inventing the wheel does not yield any results to Global community.
