  • THEORETICAL PROBLEMS IN INNOVATIONS

    • CREATION IN SCIENCE AND TECHNIQUE – A GENERAL APPROACH

      pg(s) 107-110

      As applied to science and technique a creative problem is defined as stemming from the resolution of a contradiction. The concept of state space for the problem is introduced and the abstract model for the problem as an element of the state space is proposed. Then the solving consists in extension of the space dimension. The contradiction is resolved by separation of the required contradictory properties into different coordinates. We present examples from different science and technique fields (mathematics, physics, biology, medicine and communications). It is noted that the proposed concept can serve as the basis for developing of practical methodology for creative problems solving.

      The research focuses on university-industry technology transfer, which is becoming increasingly important. The research analyses factors affecting the certain case of university-industry cooperation. The factors are tested by adapting the Kano methodology, often used for determining consumer needs and quality assurance purposes. The research results show that although in most cases the respondents’ opinion on the importance of certain factors is not homogenous; nonetheless it indicates that the greatest importance should be paid to the factor defining the students’ abilities to absorb the skills. In the meantime, the accuracy of the stated outcomes can be considered as the most successful factor in this case. The research results may not be generalized due to the limitations in the tested aspects as well as the fact that it analyses a certain case study, but it can be used for complementary purposes in the context with other case studies.

    • UNDERSTANDING THE SIMPLE METHODS IN THE DESIGN PHASE OF INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS – KNOWLEDGE FOR MARKET SUCCESS

      pg(s) 115-118

      Planning the innovative products includes both a technical and commercial evaluation. Suppose, an organization is looking for a new product and has several alternatives that finish initial screening at the same time. Sometimes the organization will have enough resources to develop and market all of these innovations, but usually resources are limited and one product is being chosen above the others. So we need some simple methods to compare products and choose the best. There are several ways of comparing the products, one of this is Quality function deployment QFD and Break even point BEP method. The goal of this paper is commercial evaluation with Break even point method as method for comparing the products and QFD method usage on the theory and practice base.

    • NOISE POLLUTION REDUCTION AND CONTROL PROVIDED BY GREEN LIVING SYSTEMS IN URBAN AREAS

      pg(s) 133-136

      Greening the building envelope is innovative technology in architecture that can regain losses of a natural environment in dense urban areas. Implementation of green living systems, greening horizontal surfaces with intensive and extensive green roofs or using vegetation in vertical greening systems for façades is a strategy that provides ecological, economic and social benefits and it is a sustainable solution for improving the environmental balance of cities limiting the major negative effects of urbanization providing better comfort at both building and urban level. The potential to provide external and internal sound insulation due to their high mass and absorption through the surface, reducing and control of noise pollution in urban areas, was investigated trough various studies. There are several situations in which noise reduction due to green living systems’ sound absorption should be considered important, such as buildings near to roads, rail or air traffic noise sources. The configurations of the systems, substrate thickness, and vegetation layer, are important factors affecting the sound absorption and sound propagation properties of these systems. This review paper presents findings from different research conditions and approaches, to explore the importance of green living systems considering the impact on noise mitigation and acoustic aesthetics of the environment.

    • INCREASING INFORMATION SECRECY BY JAMMING WITH UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED EAVESDROPPERS

      pg(s) 141-144

      Transmission of confidential messages over wireless networks between a transmitter and a receiver in the presence of illegitimate receivers called eavesdroppers is an active area of research. Cooperation by jamming can improve information-theoretic secrecy in wireless networks. However, randomly chosen jammers can have a negative impact on the secrecy capacity. Our goal is to provide a closed form for positioning the friendly jammers in two-dimensional wireless network with uniformly distributed eavesdroppers while two legitimate partners are communicating.
