Kann ich Werk und Person, Künstler und Kunst trennen? Diese Frage stelle ich mir in der aktuellen Episode des Mensch-Technik Podcast, ausgelöst durch einen Aufkleber auf einem Tesla: „Auto hui, Elon pfui“. Auch in den USA sieht man Slogans wie „I bought this car before Elon went crazy“. Die Diskussion dreht sich um die grundsätzliche Frage, ob ein Werk unabhängig vom Schöpfer betrachtet werden kann. Wir werfen einen Blick auf Beispiele aus der Kunst- und Kulturwelt sowie auf die Techbranche, in der Unternehmen oft mit starken Persönlichkeiten verbunden sind. Tesla ist ein Paradebeispiel dafür. Das Unternehmen hat die Elektromobilität revolutioniert, doch Elon Musk sorgt mit kontroversen Aussagen und politischem Engagement für Negativschlagzeilen. Seit Musks zunehmendem politischen Einfluss ist die Tesla-Aktie massiv gefallen und die Verkaufszahlen in Deutschland sind um über 70 % eingebrochen. Viele Käufer meiden Tesla nicht wegen der Autos, sondern wegen Musk.

Mills CNC has recently supplied Ayrshire Precision, a subcontract specialist based in Ayrshire, with two new SYNERGi systems. The systems, both derivations and highly customised versions of Mills' standard SYNERGi ‘SPRINT' solutions, were installed at Ayrshire Precision's 14,000sq/ft site. In 2023, the first system was retrofitted to a Puma 2600SY lathe, and six months later, the second was retrofitted to a Puma 2100SY. SYNERGi Sprint automation systems are compact, flexible, and cost-effective. Mills' dedicated automation experts can integrate them with DN Solutions' lathes, machining centres, and mill-turn machines to create high-productivity automated manufacturing cells. The essential elements of a SYNERGi Sprint system comprise an industrial FANUC robot with varying payloads and reaches, a two- or three-jaw pneumatic gripper, a 900 by 900mm part loading/unloading grid plate, and industrial safety guarding positioned around the system. Mills can also supply customers with multi-socket inserts to optimise each system's capacity. These are sheet metal fabrications that customers can also choose to manufacture for themselves. Ayrshire Precision serves customers in the oil and gas, subsea, renewables, power generation, and aerospace sectors. It has a well-resourced machine shop and regularly invests in its people, plant and equipment, processes, and systems as part of its ongoing continuous improvement programme. Since 2012, Ayrshire Precision has invested in various Doosan machines, from two-axis and multi-tasking lathes to large-capacity, heavy-duty vertical machining centres and horizontal borers. “We rely on machine tools from Mills. They are powerful, fast and accurate and enable us to meet the highly-regulated, tight-tied up tolerances and exacting surface finishes that characterise a majority of the components we machine,” says Chris Hepburn, Ayrshire Precision's Managing Director. Ayrshire Precision's decision to invest in automation was made for several reasons. The volatility of the markets served by the company and, as a consequence, fluctuating customer demand for the company's machining services, combined with difficulty recruiting and retaining skilled labour, all contributed to Ayrshire Precision's decision to ‘think outside the box' and begin its automation journey. “It's either feast or famine in the markets where we operate. We can either be swamped or, due largely to external macro-economic factors that impact our customers' business, can experience order cancellations and/or postponements that make it difficult to match our production capabilities and resources with changing customer requirements,” explains Chris Hepburn. Rather than be at the mercy of market forces and to protect the company's long-term viability and profitability, Ayrshire Precision decided in 2020 to explore new ways to improve its flexibility, performance, and competitiveness. The company's focus was initially on its small part-turning operation, which, at that time, comprised two Puma lathes, running over two shifts and operated by four staff members. To increase the productivity of its Puma lathes, the company had previously considered integrating a bar feeder into each machine. However, the diameters of the machined drop forged parts, the batch sizes required, and the limited diameter capacity of the bar feeders prevented this approach. Ayrshire Precision discussed its requirements with several automation system suppliers, focusing on the proposed system's configuration, availability, and cost. As part of its decision-making process, Ayrshire Precision visited Mills CNC, which had previously supplied it with eight Doosan machines. After discussing its plans further with Mills' automation application specialists and seeing a couple of different SYNERGi systems in action at Mills' Technology Campus facility in Leamington, it was confirmed that two separate SYNERGi Sprint systems would better meet Ayrshire Precision's manufacturing requirements. “We liked the design and build of the SYNERGi Sprint system,” remembers Chris Hepburn. “It was simple.” “We asked Mills to put forward their plans and proposals for two SYNERGi Sprint cells – one incorporating our existing Puma 2600SY for larger parts, and the second incorporating our Puma 2100SY for smaller components.” Says Chris Hepburn: “Mills' approach was responsive and helpful. They worked with us to tailor-make the SYNERGI Sprint systems and offered useful advice. We placed the business with Mills, not just because of their technical and automation expertise, but also because they had originally supplied the two Puma lathes and knew the machines inside out. We also thought that dealing with one supplier for our machine tool and automation system requirements would be easier and would simplify communications, servicing, training, etc.” Ayrshire Precision's first manufacturing cell was installed in March 2023. The cell comprises a Puma 2600SY multi-tasking lathe and a FANUC 35kg industrial robot with dual Schunk 3-jaw grippers. Other elements include Renishaw probing systems, safety caging, and the system's HMI control driven by Mills' proprietary SYNERGi software. With individual part cycle times of approximately 10 minutes, Ayrshire Precision is now benefiting from up to an additional 16 hours of unmanned operation of its Puma 2600SY lathe. Since installation, the company has manufactured different sheet metal pocket inserts to accommodate larger parts and different batch volumes. Ayrshire Precision's second SYNERGi cell was installed in September 2023. This cell incorporates the Puma 2100SY lathe, a 20kg payload industrial robot and a 900 by 900mm table for processing smaller components. The automation process for both cells involves the robot picking up a workpiece from the grid plate in a programmed sequence and, using the lathes' auto door opening facility, loading the part into the machine's main spindle. The door closes to enable the machining of the part's front end. After all machining operations are finished, the robot picks up the next sequenced workpiece from the table and, in one continuous movement, loads it into the main spindle. Then, it removes the finished part from the sub-spindle and returns it to its designated position on the table. Says Chris Hepburn: “Every time the auto door opens, a completed part is removed from the sub-spindle and a new part is loaded into the main spindle. The process is fast, seamless and continuous. Furthermore, one staff member can operate both cells simultaneously.” With less labour intervention required, Ayrshire Precision's small part turning operation is now more efficient and profitable. Creating its two cells has also helped free up a couple of its operators, enabling them to be deployed to other machine shop areas. Chris Hepburn concludes: “The investment in our two SYNERGi cells is paying dividends. We have two inherently flexible automated cells that have not only helped us future-proof our small-turned-part operations but have also increased our overall capacity. Although there was initially some anxiety concerning our move towards automated production, the results exceeded our expectations.”

What was it like forging a career in physics as a woman in the 1970s? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome the “Dynamic Duo of Physics” – physicist Dr. Betty Jensen and astrophysicist Dr. Mary Lou West. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, a potential new revelation about Jupiter's Great Red Spot. It seems that the current spot may be only 190 years old rather than 400 years old, and that the first spot described by Cassini in the 1600s may have actually disappeared in the early 1700s. Mary Lou points out that the older spot may not even have been red and gives us a primer on the storms of Jupiter. Next, Betty talks about her love of math and science, her research in fusion energy, and how she forged her own path to becoming the physicist she always knew she would be. Both scientists talk about how “the two body problem” led each of them to stay in the New York area. Mary Lou talks about how she also studied math and physics, but how she ended up becoming an astrophysicist. Then it's time for an audience question for Dr. Jensen and Dr. West: “What kinds of mentoring opportunities were available during your PhD years?” Betty says that while as the lone woman in her area she didn't feel very supported, she did have some really good experiences with professors at Columbia University, including Nobel prize winner in physics Dr. Isadore Isaac Rabi. Mary Lou, who was also at Columbia, tells the story of how she had to do a second thesis after someone published on the subject she'd been working on. She also recounts the wild story of how she used a children's chalkboard to save her PhD thesis defense after student protests disrupted it. Charles brings up the story of Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu, one of the most famous woman physics professors of the period and a member of the Manhattan Project, with whom Betty took a class. In a perhaps unsurprising turn of events, Dr. Wu and the other women on her team who conducted the “Wu Experiment” were ignored by the Nobel Prize committee in favor of the male scientists who predicted the results of her experiment. Throughout the episode, Betty and Mary Lou share some of their most interesting experiences, from riding in the back of a car with Edward Teller, the father of the H-Bomb, to the nearly catastrophic installation of a large telescope at the Harriman Observatory. Chuck talks with Betty and Mary Lou about what it was like to use computers in the punch card era. It turns out, both Betty's dissertation and Mary Lou's thesis were on punch cards! Finally, after the two scientists brag about their families, Chuck asks them for some parting words of advice for future scientists. But we wouldn't dream of speaking for them, so please tune in to the episode for words of wisdom from these two inspirational physicists.   We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.   Credits for Images Used in this Episode: Great Red Spot seen by the Juno probe – Kevin Gill, CC BY 2.0 Cassini's drawing of Jupiter's “permanent spot” – Giovanni Domenico Cassini, Public Domain Great Red Spot in the 1880s – Thomas Gwyn Elger Magnetic plasma storms on the Sun – Courtesy of NASA/SDO and the AIA, EVE, and HMI science teams, Public Domain Dr. Isadore Isaac Rabi – Nobel Foundation Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu at work – Smithsonian Institution, no known copyright restrictions Dr. Edward Teller – UC Davis, CC BY 2.0   #TheLIUniverse #CharlesLiu #AllenLiu #SciencePodcast #AstronomyPodcast #Physics #Astrophysics #BettyJensen #MaryLouWest #Jupiter #GreatRedSpot #MagneticPlasmaStorms #JovianStorms #SolarStorms #Cassini #NobelPrize #IsadoreIsaacRabi #ChienShiungWu #EdwardTeller #ManhattanProject #HarrimanObservatory #ColumbiaUniversity #TwoBodyProblem

Doctors Ayesha and Dean Sherzai founded the Healthy Minds Initiative (HMI) to scale their impact on the tragic epidemic of dementia plaguing the world today. The first thing that we have to understand is that the majority of dementias are preventable through diet and lifestyle. The Sherzai's acronym NEURO—nutrition, exercise, unwinding, restorative sleep, and optimization—encapsulates the pillars that can determine our cognitive trajectory as we age. Second, individual behavior change is hard. And it's especially hard when the community norms are unhealthy.Third, traditionally underserved and marginalized communities are bearing the brunt of the damage and ensuing tragic consequences.And fourth, circling around, those communities can actually become leaders in the public health crusade against toxic lifestyles, since their empowerment can become the solution. HMI exists to empower communities to spread both the message and practice of lifestyle medicine. But in order to do that, the Sherzai's and their partners can't come in as experts. Instead, they approach as curious partners, willing to learn, and willing to stick around and provide support for the long term, and not just until the latest research grant runs out. In our conversation, we talk about the need for systemic change in research models that prioritize community engagement and sustainability. And we talk about what sustainable progress looks like, and can look like—in other words, a blueprint for community engagement and empowerment that can create a grassroots, decentralized, democratic health movement.LinksThe Healthy Minds InitiativeThe Brain DocsNourishing Our Brains and Preventing Dementia with Ayesha Sherzai, MD: PYP 279The Role of Science in Public Discourse and Racial Justice: Dean and Ayesha Sherzai, MDs: PYP 414The Alzheimer's Solution, by Drs Ayesha and Dean SherzaiThe 30-Day Alzheimer's Solution: The Definitive Food and Lifestyle Guide to Preventing Cognitive Decline, by Drs Ayesha and Dean Sherzai

In this episode, we talk about generative AI, speech interfaces, and evolving the customer experience for one of the world's top luxury car brands: Mercedes-Benz. At the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year, Mercedes made a major splash with a new virtual assistant that leverages advanced software and generative AI — along with on-screen visuals — to provide more proactive support and a more intuitive way of interacting with the vehicle. One of the people behind that project is James Liu, the head of customer experience for the Mercedes-Benz operating system. "I always joke with my team that we're the last layer of light and sound waves between all of our technologies and the customer," Liu says. "Practically speaking, my teams are responsible for HMI concept, UX design, front-end engineering, speech, and the AI platform."

This week's EYE ON NPI will take you to Infinity and Beyond, with Infineon PSoC™ 4000T Microcontrollers (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/i/infineon/psoc-4000t-microcontrollers) and the CY8CPROTO-040T eval board (https://www.digikey.com/short/qhfjbt39) specifically designed to get you started with the 4000t series microcontrollers and using the Infineon-neé-Cypress CapSense technology for capacitive touch buttons and slider. The Infineon PSoC™ 4000T series of microcontrollers are based around the classic Arm Cortex M0+ core, running at 48 MHz and with 64K flash, 8K of SRAM. So, a great microcontroller for simple products/white goods that don't need USB or a graphical display, like headphones, rice cookers, tea kettles or electric toothbrushes. The chip is optimized for capacitive touch sensing, with timers and lots of capsense inputs, but not a ton of other peripherals: there's only two serial blocks that can be configured as I2C/UART/SPI, and no ADC/DAC or USB or CAN. As long as your product is intended to be low-cost, and simple, that's probably just fine! The real star of the show on these chips is the CapSense peripheral (https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/microcontroller/sensing-controller/capsense-controllers/capsense/), which has up to 16 inputs - out of 21 GPIO! These can be configured as "CSD-type" self-capacitance sigma-delta buttons or sliders, or as "CSX-type" mutual-capacitance X-Y grids (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOOZII8cvT4). Capacitive sensing is great when you want products that react to touch without needing large and breakable tactile switches. For example, touch sensors on headphones can determine when they are inserted into the ear and when a finger is touching the body to pause or adjust volume (https://www.infineon.com/dgdl/Infineon-The_touch_sensing_HMI_in_wearable_and_IoT_devices-Whitepaper-v01_00-EN.pdf?fileId=8ac78c8c8a44f57b018a5f0711243a0f). Unlike buttons or encoders, there's no risk of eventual mechanical failure, rending a product useless: with a smooth clean surface you can still provide a full UI with low cost and maintenance. The Infineon PSoC™ 4000T series comes with the 5th generation of CapSense, which features autonomous DMA function in deep sleep, great responsivity, and moisture resistance. One downside of classic capacitive touch solutions is false 'ghost' triggering or sluggish 'touch blindness' when the touch surface is wet. This is a common issue with products that end up being used in a kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, while exercising or outside. That's because droplets of water have capacitance on the order of the human finger and so each droplet looks like a touch. Most capacitive sense implementations have a slow self-zeroing drift calibration procedure, but they don't handle sudden water sprays. CapSense 5th gen, by comparison, will maintain the same raw capacitive count even when there's spray, mist or droplets! Another neat feature is the autonomous sensing block, which allows ultra low deep sleep current of 6uA with touch-to-wake. Instead of powering up the whole core to do the capacitive touch reading and averaging in the main process thread, readings are done in a zombie mode so that we only wake up when touches are detected. If your next product design needs a reliable capacitive touch interface, the CapSense 5th gen-powered Infineon PSoC™ 4000T series (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/infineon-technologies/CY8CPROTO-040T/22158824) is an excellent low-power Cortex M0+ chip that can act as the main processor of your product with high integration for a tiny BOM at an attractive price. You can get started fast by picking up a CY8CPROTO-040T eval board (https://www.digikey.com/short/j5hfb704) that has a programming/debug interface as well as button, slider and proximity sensing CapSense element. Order today and your CY8CPROTO will ship immediately, so that you can get started with your development by tomorrow afternoon!
