ing wall hangings showing all the components of each blouson woven into single panels of fabric also showcase the clever use of minimal waste patterning for which A-POC is renowned.
Details of the weaving process can be seen at the Issey Miyake Kyoto: Kura Gallery exhibition, which focuses on one jacket ― Yokoo’s portrayal of Tarzan posed for his famed yell ― and features an incomplete panel of its jacquard. Pulled from a loom in mid-weave, the work exposes a stretch of black warp threads attached to spools of the seven yarns used to create varying reds, blues, pinks, yellows and browns.
The resulting voluminous Tadanori Yokoo Issey Miyake jackets are also made with 70% recycled plastic polyester, part of the company’s commitment to developing sustainability in design — an endeavor in common with T-House New Balance’s “Yoshihisa Tanaka × Tokyo Design Studio cooperative research vol.01” exhibition in Tokyo.
Developed by Yoshihisa Tanaka, who is one half of the art unit Nerhol, the works on display at T-House New Balance employed the various washi techniques of Awagami Factory in Tokushima. Offcut textile fibers were blended into kozo paper pulp to produce a grainy flecked effect, or spread out in layers and manipulated to create patterns of gray, brown and orange streaks and swirls. Shoeboxes made from the paper also dot the showroom, with one illustrating an incredibly skilled and time-consuming technique.
In a glass case lies a display of Tanaka’s paper cut into the pattern parts of a New Balance shoe — an idea that the TDS team stresses is just wishful thinking right now. But who knows? With the continued focus on exploring textile innovations sparked by artist collaborations, a paper sneaker may not be that far off.
“Tadanori Yokoo Issey Miyake” at Issey Miyake Kyoto: Kura Gallery runs through Jan. 11. The end date of the exhibition at Issey Miyake Semba, Osaka, will be announced next year. “Yoshihisa Tanaka × Tokyo Design Studio cooperative research vol.01″ at T-House New Balance, Tokyo, runs through Dec. 15.

Here is a review left by a customer on a product. Would you say he was satisfied or dissatisfied? Title: Still needs work Review: This thing goes through batteries quickly. You will need to have extra sets handy. The built in GPS receiver is practically worthless, has yet to work. Fortunately my 5 year old Magellan works each and very time. Entering the Longitude and Latitude (yes it's reversed) manually does not allow for entering "minutes". It is also subject to "magnetic" interference, who knows from where??? On the positve side if you enter your location and the "correct" time it will get you close to what you looking for. It is also not Apple compatible which a real issue in that you have to keep/find a Win PC for firmwear updates.The concept has great potential and I am looking forward to another vendor producing a similar unit with an improved GPS unit. In the mean time, it is the only game in town, and at $[...] its not a cheap game.

Lightning is a widely recognized source of damage and disruption to electrical power systems worldwide. The climate is changing, with both natural and anthropogenic origins. This chapter is concerned with the response of lightning to changes in temperature and aerosol loading of the atmosphere that are expected to accompany climate change. In the present climate, lightning is shown to increase with both temperature and with the boundary layer populations of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). In a future climate characterized by the continued consumption of fossil fuels, the threat from lightning is expected to increase.
In this chapter, basic lightning terminology is introduced, different types of lightning are described, and main lightning processes are identified. For the most common negative cloud -to -ground lightning, the number of strokes per flash, interstroke intervals, flash duration, multiple channel terminations on ground, and relative stroke intensity within the flash are discussed. Traditional lightning parameters needed in engineering applications include lightning peak current, maximum current derivative, average current rate of rise, current risetime, current duration, charge transfer, and specific energy (action integral), all derivable from direct current measurements.
In this chapter, the author provide a general introduction to ground flash density calculation, discuss recommended methods to determine flash density from LLS data, provide details of techniques used by modern LLSs along with examples of a few well-established LLSs in different parts of the world, and discuss methods used to validate the performance characteristics of LLSs.
Lightning is the main cause of unscheduled interruptions in overhead power lines, affecting reliability of power supply and thus, consequently, resulting in economic losses. Lightning-caused insulation flashover in overhead power lines is associated with the fast-front overvoltages across line insulation, arising due to direct lightning strokes or induced by nearby lightning. Shielding against direct lightning strokes to phase conductors of overhead power lines is provided by shield wires. The latter are metallic elements that are able to, by physical means, launch a connecting upward discharge that intercepts the descending lightning leader from a distance, called striking distance, commonly also called attractive radius or lateral distance. Lightning leaders intercepted by shield wires, increasing the potential of the transmission-line tower, may result in power-line outages due to backflashover, that is, insulation flashover between tower and phase conductors. However, some of the less intense lightning strokes, not being intercepted by shield wires terminating thus to the phase conductors, may cause powerline outages due to shielding failure. In addition, descending lightning leaders which are not intercepted by the line conductors, striking to ground nearby the power line or to adjacent structures may result in power-line outages due to induced voltages on line conductors causing insulation flashover. As the line operation voltage increases, a higher line insulation level is utilized, and the lightning performance of overhead power lines becomes increasingly determined by the direct stroke flashover rate. In this chapter, the physical process of lightning attachment to overhead power lines is presented and discussed. Engineering models of lightning attachment are described in detail. Finally, a general procedure for the estimation of lightning incidence to overhead power lines is presented.
This chapter presents the coupling of lightning electromagnetic fields to overhead and underground lines based on the transmission line approximation. The chapter starts with an introductory section in which the advantages and the drawbacks of three approaches, namely the quasi-static approach, the transmission line approach, and the antenna approach, are presented and discussed. The conditions of validity of the application of the transmission line approximation and its suitability for the case of lightning generated fields are also presented in that section.
A grounding electrode consists of any buried metallic body responsible for dispersing current to the soil. The specific application has significant influence on the electrodes' arrangement and dimension. The arrangement can vary from a simple rod, connected to the transformer of a distribution line, to horizontal electrodes buried about 0.5 m deep in the soil composing the counterpoise wires of transmission-line tower footings, or the typical grounding grids of power system substations. The flow of lightning -related currents to the ground and ensuring safety conditions, in terms of distribution of the electric potentials over the ground in the region where electrodes disperse lightning currents into the soil.
Surge-protective devices (SPDs) used in transmission and distribution overhead lines (OHLs), while the second is related to low-voltage (LV) distribution systems. Metal oxide arresters (MOAs), with and without external gaps, and multi chamber arresters (MCAs) are used for protecting high-voltage (HV) and medium voltage (MV) lines against lightning overvoltages. An SPD is a device that is intended to limit transient overvoltages and divert currents. A voltage limiting type SPD has high impedance when no surge is present, but this impedance is continuously reduced with increased surge current and voltage. The main causes for surges are direct or indirect lightning strikes and man-made switching overvoltages. For an efficient protection of LV power systems against voltage or current surges, so-called LV surge protective devices are frequently used. The second part of this chapter gives an overview about surge protection for LV power systems.
The aim of this chapter is to present and discuss models of power transmission line components for the calculation of lightning overvoltages on transmission lines due to direct lightning strikes. The models presented in this chapter are based on lumped- and distributed-circuit theory.
Distribution networks may be disturbed by lightning in case of either direct strikes to the line conductors or nearby strokes. In order to evaluate the lightning transients and their impact on a power distribution network, the knowledge of the response of the main system components when subjected to the resulting surges is of essential importance. The radial configuration is characterized, on the one hand, by minimal control of power flow, and, on the other hand, by straightforward circuit design, easy fault current protection, and low cost.
