Both as a consumer and as an amazing designer!WHAT YOU'LL LEARN* Become more creative in the way you hack any part of the fashion value chain* Spark inspiration for implementations of new technologies in fashion for both customers and designers* Adopt and stay forward-thinking by diving into where the industry currently is and where it is goingWHO THIS BOOK IS FORDecision makers in fashion corporate companies and emerging fashion brands wondering how to innovate in the saturated fashion market, as well as, fashion students with an interest in building the future of fashion. No prior technology knowledge is needed.VON N. RUZIVE began chasing fashion tech before she even knew it would be a thing. She’s journeyed from being a young fashion designer exploring the ways in which customers could better envision how her fashion designs would be worn, through frustration of the usual sketches and images not being able to do the trick. Of course the classic video was an option but would not fully illustrate the state of innovation of the garments. This was key to demonstrating her unconventional designs of zip openings in unconventional places on the garments to increase wearability for all women including those with disabilities—something she continues to work on along with teaching 3D printing & laser cutting and leading the partnerships department at a fashion tech venture studio in Paris. All of which have picked her brain in this field of fashion tech.PETER JEUN HO TSANG is the founder & CEO of Beyond Form, a fashion tech venture studio. Since obtaining a master’s degree in Digital Fashion from London College of Fashion in the late 2000’s, he has developed several fashion tech initiatives including a retail store of the future in London, a lab in Paris, and an MBA program. At Beyond Form, he now works with entrepreneurs globally to build and scale technology solutions for the fashion industry.CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO FASHION TECHNOLOGYI.

Circuit Design and Simulation Quick Start Guide
Open up the exciting world of electronics with 3D circuit designing tools and create your own fresh new projects. With this quick guide you’ll use high-quality graphical programs to create, modify, and update circuits in an interactive, virtual environment that can also be used in the real world.Follow along with the tutorials and get the chance to play with electronics safely before getting your hands dirty. In just a few minutes, you’ll start creating your first circuit. You’ll focus more on how the components layout together than on worrying about design to get started. Watch as different electronic components receive different signals and test them in different situations and circuit conditions first before moving on to real-life testing. When you’re ready, you’ll work with real breadboards and microcontrollers, such as the Arduino, to bring your simulated circuits and projects to life.Once you have your circuit put together, work with basic Arduino programming to give it purpose and make it respond to your commands. By the end of the book you'll have mastered the basics of both circuit design and programming.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN* Engineer electrical equipment for little to no cost* Measure different electrical signals, such as voltage, temperature, light, and more* Program Arduinos to work with your new circuitsWHO THIS BOOK IS FORStudents and hobbyists interested in electrical engineering and programming who want to dive into experimentation virtually before working with real-world circuits.ASHRAF ALMADHOUN is an educator, Mechatronics engineer, electronics and programming hobbyist, and Maker.

Optimierung der Fahrzeugdiagnose durch eine cloudbasierte Methode zur Identifikation der Datennetze mit künstlicher Intelligenz
Ralf Thomas Lutchen stellt eine neue Methode zur Erstellung von automatisierten Testabläufen in der Fahrzeugentwicklung auf. Dabei setzt der Autor Cloud- und KI-Modelle ein, durch welche die herausfordernde Optimierung der Durchlaufzeit einer Messaufgabe mit 63 % Reduzierung erreicht werden konnte. Zusätzlich zu dieser Optimierung zeigt er auf, wie gleichzeitig die Aktualität der Messaufgabe verbessert wird, bei ebenfalls steigender Vollständigkeit, indem die Komplexität in die Cloud und damit an die KI übertragen wird. Der dafür notwendige Prozess ist die vollständige Identifizierung der Steuergeräte, ihrer Softwarestände sowie aller Datennetze, die am Testequipment angeschlossen sind. Diese Technologie wird erstmals in dieser Studie hergeleitet und ist der Kern der Methode. Die sich daraus ergebenden ökonomischen und ökologischen Vorteile sind im Verhältnis zu den sich zeigenden Kosten und Energiebedarfen signifikant.
