  • Design of Innovation Processes

    Flow from Idea to Market Launch with Higher Speed and Value, Time after Time
    • 1st Edition
    • Darrell Velegol
    • English
    Design of Innovation Processes: Flow from Idea to Market Launch with Higher Speed and Value, Time after Time introduces the concept of seeing innovation as a type of process manufacturing operation and offers a coherent set of principles that will accelerate innovation in the chemical processing industries. The book provides actionable practices for innovating chemically related products and services faster, and with higher value. The author shows that by coordinating an Integrated Innovation Team (IIT) consisting of R&D, marketing, manufacturing, regulatory, toxicology, analytical, legal, finance, VP-level leadership, sustainability, and other functions, it's possible to increase innovation throughput. The author, Dr. Darrell Velegol, Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at Penn State University, sees ineffective innovation processes as the reason why chemical process industries are growing less than industries like digitech, hence he provides valuable information in this updated resource.

  • High-Reliability Autonomous Management Systems for Spacecraft

    • 1st Edition
    • Jianjun Zhang + 1 more
    • English
    This book examines the autonomous management of spacecraft, which uses modern control technologies such as artificial intelligence to establish a remote intelligent body on the spacecraft so that the spacecraft can complete its flight tasks by itself. Its goal is to accurately perceive its own state and external environment without relying on external information injection and control, or rely on external control as little as possible, make various appropriate decisions based on this information and user tasks, and be able to autonomously control spacecraft to complete various tasks.
