ANALYSIS OF CREATED REPRESENTATIONS OF THE DESIGN OBJECT DURING THE PROBLEM SOLVING PROCESS

Albers, Albert; Wiedner, Aaron // 2011
During the process of developing new solutions, the designer creates different representations of the design object, which have a high variation in their level of abstraction. These representations ...

Anforderungen an technische Oberflächen und die Herausforderungen für den Produktentwickler

Sander, Thomas; Wartzack, Sandro // 2011
The surface of the component has a great impact on the functionality and has to be considered as a complex constructional element. It is hard to state an optimal time frame for the definition of ...

Boolean Searches

The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean operators:

  • design community
    Find rows that contain at least one of the two words.
  • +design +community
    Find rows that contain both words.
  • +design community
    Find rows that contain the word “design”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “community”.
  • +design -community
    Find rows that contain the word “design” but not “community”.
  • +design ~community
    Find rows that contain the word “design”, but if the row also contains the word “community”, rate it lower than if row does not.
  • +design +(>community <decisions)
    Find rows that contain the words “design” and “community”, or “design” and “decisions” (in any order), but rank “design community” higher than “design decisions”
  • design*
    Find rows that contain words such as “design”, “designs”, “designing”, or “designer”.
  • "some words"
    Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”). Note that the " characters that enclose the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotation marks that enclose the search string itself.
