Paris, France - 19 July, 2011 - ESI Group pioneer and world-leading solution provider in virtual prototyping, announces a collaborative project with the North American division of JSP, a leading provider of strong and lightweight expanded polymers. The physical properties of ARPRO® Expanded Polypropylene, one of JSP's high-end sustainable foam products, will be included into PAM-COMFORT's library in order to streamline engineering development processes.
Using a digital mock-up of a seat, PAM-COMFORT predicts detailed information related to Seat Design - including possible cosmetic defects due to manufacturing process and seat performances in terms of occupant posture and sitting comfort - taking into account the complex physics of materials, the detailed interactions between all components of the seat, and the time-dependency of materials as an occupant settles in their seat. The physical parameters resulting from each stage of the chain of manufacturing and assembly processes (for instance, residual stresses after manufacturing) are used as an input to the following one (for instance, occupant sitting) in order to ensure a high level of precision, whatever the seat design and the anthropometry of the occupant.
A high performance material, ARPRO® offers unique combined properties to manufacturers and seat development engineers alike: high strength-to-weight ratio, light weight, chemical inertia, thermal insulation, energy absorption, acoustical properties and 100% recyclability. These technical properties make it the perfect material to cover many diverse applications, particularly in seat manufacturing for the transportation industries. ARPRO® is quickly becoming a standard in the field of new seat development.
With this joint effort between ESI and JSP, the integration of ARPRO®'s exceptional properties into the PAM-COMFORT library will provide a simple and direct way to conveniently evaluate the benefit brought by ARPRO® to new seat design. The database provides the data preformatted for immediate use in PAM-COMFORT. This removes a barrier to innovative design considerations, which are typically impeded by the need to physically test for the intrinsic properties of materials.
This intelligent partnership will allow the simulation of ARPRO®'s unique product properties via a rich, digitally enhanced library - using advanced encryption techniques - without sharing any of ARPRO®'s innovative and protected IP. The initiative represents a break-through in the way PAM-COMFORT users, mostly automotive engineers, will be able to use specific brands of innovative materials for virtual prototyping. From the early stage of a seat's conception, Virtual Prototyping enables reduction of R&D costs and acceleration of new seat development processes. The success of this initiative suggests possible expansion of the PAM-COMFORT library using other customers' innovative materials to maximize the capacities of end-to-end product prototyping.
"JSP hopes this new partnership will serve the company's mission to delight its customers with innovative products and technologies, and to establish continuously higher benchmarks of customer service. Plugging ARPRO®'s properties into PAM-COMFORT will ultimately benefit our customers' R&D teams and contribute to our mutual success," said Kipp Boegner, Engineering Manager at JSP in Detroit.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
