- One lovely summer day in 1948, a Swiss amateur-mountaineer and inventor decided to take his dog for a nature hike. The man and his faithful companion both returned home covered with burrs, the plant seed-sacs that cling to animal fur in order to travel to fertile new planting grounds. The man neglected his matted dog, and with a burning curiosity ran to his microscope and inspected one of the many burrs stuck to his pants. He saw all the small hooks that enabled the seed-bearing burr to cling so viciously to the tiny loops in the fabric of his pants. George de Mestral raised his head from the microscope and smiled thinking, "I will design a unique, two-sided fastener, one side with stiff hooks like the burrs and the other side with soft loops like the fabric of my pants. I will call my invention 'velcro' a combination of the word velour and crochet. It will rival the zipper in its ability to fasten." Mestral's idea met with resistance and even laughter, but the inventor 'stuck' by his invention. Together with a weaver from a textile plant in France, Mestal perfected his hook and loop fastener. By trial and error, he realized that nylon when sewn under infrared light, formed tough hooks for the burr side of the fastener. This finished the design, patented in 1955. The inventor formed Velcro Industries to manufacture his invention. Mestral was selling over sixty million yards of Velcro per year. Today it is a multi-million dollar industry.

- This is what is unique and I think quite powerful about intrinsic self healing materials. There is no vascular system to help repair the thread, and there is no limited supply of ‘broken capsules’ that re-glue a material. It is quite literally a material that heals itself indefinitely over repeated stress-strain cycles. The current theory for how a mussel does this is that it uses metal ions to help ‘tie the knots’ (or mediate cross-links in biology speak). The metal ions act as ‘guides’ for the protein to re-form the bonds (knots) that are broken under strain. This simple technique has proven to be quite useful for material scientists to create new materials that re-create this performance. http://www.ecointerface.com/?p=473
- Self-healing materials are a class of smart materials that have the structurally incorporated ability to repair damage caused by mechanical usage over time. The inspiration comes from biological systems, which have the ability to heal after being wounded, self-healing matrix. http://sottosgroup.beckman.illinois.edu/nrs111.pdf http://bouncingideas.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/self-healing-materials/
- Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe Harare, Zimbabwe, The country’s largest office and shopping complex is an architectural marvel in its use of biomimicry principles . The mid-rise building, designed by architect Mick Pearce in conjun ction with engineers at Arup Associates , has no conventi onal air-condit ioning or heating, yet stays regulated year round with dramatically less energy consumption using design methods inspired by indigenous Zimbabwean masonry and the self-cooling mounds of African termites! http://inhabitat.com/building-modelled-on-termites-eastgate-centre-in-zimbabwe/eastgate-centre-biomimetic-architecture-biomimicry-biomimetic-design-biomimicry-of-termite-mounds-green-building-with-termites-eco-building-sustainable-design-harare-zimbabwe-africa-sustain-4/
- The Eastgate building is modeled on the self-cooling mounds of Macrotermes michaelseni, termites that maintain the temperature inside their nest to within one degree of 31 °C, day and night, - while the external temperature varies between 3 °C and 42 °C. Eastgate uses only 10 percent of the energy of a conventional building its size, saved 3.5 million in air conditioning costs in the first five years, and has rents that are 20% lower than a newer building next door.

- Eiji Nakatsu, an engineer with JR West and a birdwatcher, used his knowledge of the splashless water entry of kingfishers and silent flight of owls to decrease the sound generated by the trains. Kingfishers move quickly from air, a low-resistance (low drag) medium, to water, a high-resistance (high drag) medium. The kingfisher's beak provides an almost ideal shape for such an impact. The beak is streamlined, steadily increasing in diameter from its tip to its head. This reduces the impact as the kingfisher essentially wedges its way into the water, allowing the water to flow past the beak rather than being pushed in front of it. Because the train faced the same challenge, moving from low drag open air to high drag air in the tunnel, Nakatsu designed the forefront of the Shinkansen train based on the beak of the kingfisher. Engineers were able to reduce the pantograph's noise by adding structures to the main part of the pantograph to create many small vortices. This is similar to the way an owl's primary feathers have serrations that create small vortices instead of one large one.

- Growing out of the “bion” project, the Orgonome is a three-legged creature that walks, communicates, and evolves emotionally depending on its interactions with humans. These emotional states, such as pleasure, longing, sadness, surprise and fear are physically expressed by the orgonome. Capable of sensing spatial orientation, touch, light and sound, orgonomes can locomote, make sound and communicate with each other as well as engage in collective group behaviors.

- The Legged Squad Support System (LS3) is a rough-terrain robot developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from DARPA and the US Marine Corps. It is designed to carry 400 lbs of payload and travel 20 miles without refueling. LS3 has sensors that let it follow a human leader while avoiding obstacles in the terrain . BigDog is a rough-terrain robot that walks, runs, climbs and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by an engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog has four legs that are articulated like an animal’s, with compliant elements to absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule; about 3 feet long, 2.5 feet tall and weighs 240 lbs. BigDog's on-board computer controls locomotion, processes sensors and handles communications with the user. BigDog’s control system keeps it balanced, manages locomotion on a wide variety of terrains and does navigation. Sensors for locomotion include joint position, joint force, ground contact, ground load, a gyroscope, LIDAR and a stereo vision system. Other sensors focus on the internal state of BigDog, monitoring the hydraulic pressure, oil temperature, engine functions, battery charge and others. BigDog runs at 4 mph, climbs slopes up to 35 degrees, walks across rubble, climbs muddy hiking trails, walks in snow and water, and carries 340 lb load. http://www.bostondynamics.com/robot_bigdog.html

A consequent problem facing today's software developers is in locating the referential chain that leads from one person to another - or what the developers describe as the path from node to node. As these networks increase in size, so too does latency. And as any user of social networks can attest, delays are a complete turn-off.

One of the goals is to built a unregulated network which has the potential to bridge the digital valley between the social layers and deliver the infrastructure and the knowledge for it. The size of the node icon represents the number of devices at the node. The colored lines between the nodes show almost in realtime the links (network connections). The colors indicate the quality of the link: green means good quality link (ETX < 2) yellow means ETX between 2 and 3 red symbolizes bad links (ETX&gt;3)
