Send me a messageIn this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with JP Stevenson, Director of ESG Analytics at Global Assurance company LRQA, to delve into the intricate world of global supply chain management. We explore the evolving landscape of ESG compliance, the vital role of digitalisation in achieving transparency, and the imperative for systemic reforms.JP sheds light on the challenges factories, particularly in Asia, face in aligning with diverse global regulations. He emphasises the uneven distribution of financial resources and expertise, which disproportionately affects smaller enterprises, leaving them vulnerable in a fast-evolving regulatory environment. Our discussion also touches on the innovative strategies factories are employing to navigate the energy transition and improve operational efficiency.A significant focus of our conversation revolves around the need for a shift in the financial dynamics between suppliers and buyers to facilitate genuine capacity building. JP argues that a more balanced approach to these relationships is crucial, underpinning it with a call for local governments and financial institutions to play a more proactive role in supporting factories' compliance efforts.Tune in to gain insights into the complexities of supply chain sustainability and the collaborative efforts required to foster ethical, efficient, and environmentally conscious practices.

A fascinating chat with Steve Wozniak as he reveals his philosophy for Apple, how a floppy disc took him out of California and onto to Las Vegas. Plus much more  - like the name he use to avoid recognition at university and why he did not adopt the American Dream! The interview was recorded in Qatar at the the ‘Partnership Strategies for Corporate R&D' conference, hosted by Qatar Science & Technology Park and first broadcast on AME Info Radio, Dubai.

We're taking a look at some of our favorite moments from the 2021 Fast Company Innovation Festival. Here's a conversation that goes beyond recycling to talk about reshaping supply chains with Stuart Landesberg, cofounder and CEO of Grove Collaborative; Alex Totterman, founder and CEO of Cove; and Lee Ellen Drechsler, senior vice president of Platform Innovation and Corporate R&D at Procter & Gamble.

Did the American independent inventor ever go extinct? In his new book, American Independent Inventors In An Era of Corporate R&D, Eric S. Hintz argues that they persisted despite the development of corporate R&D during the twentieth century. In his new book Hintz explores the relationship between independent inventors and corporate R&D departments. While corporate R&D departments did eventually supplant independent inventors in terms of annual patents per year, independent inventors never faded away. Corporate R&D labs often benefited from larger budgets, and stronger political connections than independent inventors. Still, this relationship wasn't strictly adversarial, often times corporate labs found themselves working with independent inventors, whether by licensing their patents or bringing them on as temporary consultants.

In this episode Dr. Hardy discusses his leadership perspective as a Senior Vice President at 3M, as well as some of the best advice he has received. Moreover, he discusses some of the technical advancements done during his time at 3M.

In this episode of Perspectives, we speak with Eric Hintz, author of American Independent Inventors in an Era of Corporate R&D. In his book, Eric Hintz describes how American independent inventors continued to innovate after the so-called "Golden Era of Invention" of the mid-to-late 19th century. Hintz argues that, while the first half of the twentieth century saw the rise of corporate R&D that internalized invention within large firms, independent inventors such as Chester Carlson, Samuel Ruben, and others continued to develop important technologies outside of the corporate structure. However, large firms did not always compete or try to do away with independent inventors; indeed, they often collaborated with independent inventors when they could not produce useful or profitable technologies in-house. Hintz discusses the importance of the American patent system for the viability of invention, and notes the ways in which women and African-American inventors were able to use the patent system to not only profit from their creations, but also bolster their arguments for equal rights. Dr. Hintz ends by noting that the independent inventor is still alive and well in American society in the 21st century, especially in the areas of computing and biotechnology. Eric Hintz is a historian with the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.

Wonder how America's individual inventors persisted alongside corporate R&D labs as an important source of inventions beginning at the turn of the early twentieth century? American Independent Inventors in an Era of Corporate R&D (MIT Press, 2021) by Eric S. Hintz presents a candid look into the history behind the phenomenon. During the nineteenth century, heroic individual inventors such as Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell created entirely new industries while achieving widespread fame. However, by 1927, a New York Times editorial suggested that teams of corporate scientists at General Electric, AT&T, and DuPont had replaced the solitary "garret inventor" as the wellspring of invention. But these inventors never disappeared. In this book, Eric Hintz argues that lesser-known inventors such as Chester Carlson (Xerox photocopier), Samuel Ruben (Duracell batteries), and Earl Tupper (Tupperware) continued to develop important technologies throughout the twentieth century. Moreover, Hintz explains how independent inventors gradually fell from public view as corporate brands increasingly became associated with high-tech innovation. Focusing on the years from 1890 to 1950, Hintz documents how American independent inventors competed (and sometimes partnered) with their corporate rivals, adopted a variety of flexible commercialization strategies, established a series of short-lived professional groups, lobbied for fairer patent laws, and mobilized for two world wars. After 1950, the experiences of independent inventors generally mirrored the patterns of their predecessors, and they continued to be overshadowed during corporate R&D's postwar golden age. The independents enjoyed a resurgence, however, at the turn of the twenty-first century, as Apple's Steve Jobs and Shark Tank's Lori Greiner heralded a new generation of heroic inventor-entrepreneurs. By recovering the stories of a group once considered extinct, Hintz shows that independent inventors have long been—and remain—an important source of new technologies.

If you search on “data center” you'll find many images that show rows and rows of equipment racks. The network gear in these racks need to be physically connected to each other, and that's where pluggable optic transceivers come in. But you also need to connect the transceivers together with fiber optic cables. That cabling infrastructure can get pretty complicated, especially in larger deployments. In Episode 14, we conclude a conversation with Brian Kelly, a fiber cabling infrastructure expert at Panduit. In this final part of our six-part conversation we hear about some of the latest developments that Brian has been working on at Panduit. – Pat Chou, Cisco Optics Product Manager Brian L.

Focusing on the years from 1890 to 1950, Hintz documents how American independent inventors competed (and sometimes partnered) with their corporate rivals, adopted a variety of flexible commercialization strategies, established a series of short-lived professional groups, lobbied for fairer patent laws, and mobilized for two world wars. After 1950, the experiences of independent inventors generally mirrored the patterns of their predecessors, and they continued to be overshadowed during corporate R&D's postwar golden age. The independents enjoyed a resurgence, however, at the turn of the twenty-first century, as Apple's Steve Jobs and Shark Tank's Lori Greiner heralded a new generation of heroic inventor-entrepreneurs. By recovering the stories of a group once considered extinct, Hintz shows that independent inventors have long been—and remain—an important source of new technologies.

If you search on “data center” you'll find many images that show rows and rows of equipment racks. The network gear in these racks need to be physically connected to each other, and that's where pluggable optic transceivers come in. But you also need to connect the transceivers together with fiber optic cables. That cabling infrastructure can get pretty complicated, especially in larger deployments. In Episode 13, we continue a conversation with Brian Kelly, a fiber cabling infrastructure expert at Panduit. In this fifth part of our six-part conversation we learn about the impact of thermals and power in data centers. – Pat Chou, Cisco Optics Product Manager Brian L. Kelly joined Panduit in 2012.

This week I was joined by Arlin Keck, Corporate R&D Engineer of Steel King Industries. Arlin has been around the material handling industry for over 40 years, and with Steel King for 15. In this episode, he discusses safety factors that should be considered when designing a rack system. Arlin explains how frequently rack should be inspected and who should preform those inspections. We also discuss the common areas in a rack system that are considered high risk and what factors effect system capacity.

While Nicole is off enjoying a fancy brunch with friends visiting from out of town, Robbie and Sam are again joined by Stephanie Brinley. Robbie has been driving the Ford Ranger Raptor while Steph spent time with the latest Honda Civic Hybrid and Genesis G70. Sam spent the week with the Kia EV6 GT-Line.In the news, Fiat is now integrating charging cables into the nose of EVs. Chargepoint showed off its solution for handling EVs with CCS or J3400/NACS charging ports, the new Omni Port and Robbie got to try it out. Dodge announced pricing for its e-muscle car, the Charger Daytona and we got to hear what it sounds like. Tesla has dropped the reservation system for the Cybertruck and deliveries are available almost immediately. Volvo has bumped the pricing for the new EX90 and a bunch of features missing at launch. GMC has a redesigned Terrain for 2025. Finally, Sam had an in-depth conversation with Joerg Grotendorst, SVP of Corporate R&D at Magna International (and no they didn't discuss Fisker).Wheel Bearings listeners get an extra 3 months for free when they sign up for ExpressVPN at https://www.expressvpn.com/wheelbearingsLinksFiat to integrate charging cablesChargepoint Omni PortNACS and CCS on one cable2025 GMC Terrain2025 Dodge Charger Daytona pricingNo more Tesla Cybertruck reservations, Canada/Mexico now openVolvo EX90 price bumped by $3300, features missingOur Sponsors:* Check out Express VPN: https://expressvpn.com/WHEELBEARINGSAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
