Working at Boimondau: A Community Experience
Abstract In the 1940s and 1950s, France witnessed the emergence of labor communities whose ambition was to escape capitalism and abolish wage labor. This article focuses on Boimondau, the best‐known community at the time. In terms of work, the central activity in the life of the community, two main tensions lastingly structured the collective and ...

Development of Heat Engines Powered by Twisted and Coiled Polymer Fiber Actuators
Continuously rotating engines driven by thermally responsive actuating materials can turn waste heat into useful energy. For the first time heat engines operated by twisted and coiled polymer fiber actuators are demonstrated with engine design guided by two simple analytical models.

Research on geometrical characteristics of straight bevel gears with a small shaft angle with a non-generated gear and generated pinion [PDF]
Based on the precessional bevel gears with a small shaft angle, a number of drives for oil and gas equipment have been developed. They are characterized by high efficiency (about 0.9) and a small starting torque. Due to multi-pair tooth meshing they have

Molecular Photogearing for Controlling Rotary Motion at the Nanoscale
Molecular gears capable of controlling and transmitting rotary motion at the nanoscale are indispensable for the construction of artificial molecular machines. In this concept, we discuss how molecular photogears featuring a propeller‐shaped motif attached to a light‐driven molecular motor offer new possibilities to perform these tasks with better ...

The Comparison of Straight Tooth Bevel Gear and Spiral Bevel Gear about the Stress of Gear Tooth
大型的数控龙门加工中心中,卧式主轴头通过一对直齿圆锥齿轮副来作为相交轴的传动部件。其加工中心在高速运转时,直齿圆锥齿轮副会发出大的噪声和冲击,导致加工中心的加工质量和精度下降。为了解决这一问题,提出采用弧齿圆锥轮副代替直齿圆锥齿轮副。基于ANSYS Workbench软件,分析直齿圆锥齿轮副与弧齿圆锥齿轮副的齿跟弯曲应力和齿面接触应力的状况,在此基础上,得出弧齿圆锥齿轮副在传动过程中其轮齿的综合力学性能要优越于直齿圆锥齿轮副相应的轮齿性能。这使得数控龙门加工中心可回转式卧式主轴头在更换前70分贝的噪声降至到60分贝,噪声得到了显著的降低。 In the large CNC gantry machining center, through a pair of straight bevel gear ...

Policy Spandrels: How Design Decisions Can Open Up Spaces for Unintended Policy Change
ABSTRACT This article introduces the concept of policy spandrels to make sense of public policies producing second‐order effects that are unintentional from the perspective of policy design and yet are fraught with consequences. By analogy with architectural spandrels—leftover spaces that can be used for unforeseen purposes—policy change can be enabled
