    Technology of Mental Functional Representations as a First Stage of Conceptualization and Implementation of Complex Scientific Knowledge in Innovation Processes
    (Transfer-Innovations, 2019) Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante Jorge; Balsa-Yepes, Aldrin
    In innovation processes, it is common to deal with highly cross-multidisciplinary topics. For example, an innovation process may integrate psychological, neuroscientific, biological and engineering disciplines, among many others dealing with bio-cybernetic systems. One specific type of those theories is related to cognitive processes, knowledge representation, and self-learning systems. Therefore, there is a need to easily and rapidly understand, as well as apply and share knowledge of complex theories by innovation managers, engineers, scholars, training practitioners, computational modelers, managers, and stakeholders, among others. In this regard, the present article provides with a graphical tool to represent complex cross- multidisciplinary theories, concepts and processes in a simple, concise, and logical manner, by using functional principles and graphical representations that have been successfully used in engineering and technology areas such as adaptive control systems, algorithmic flow charts, and computational cognitive neuroscience. Once described the models that have been typically used to represent and model knowledge and cognition, functional cognitive modeling is introduced, and then applied to represent and model complex cognitive theories from psychology and neuroscience such as Jean Piaget’s Theory of Intellectual Growth, Antonio Damasio’s Somatic Marker Hypothesis, and Dante Dorantes’ Soft Skills Model.

    A Novel Business Model Frame for Innovative Startups - (may 12-14, 2017)
    (World Conference on Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, 2017) Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante Jorge
    The business model canvas has been used in business and entrepreneurship to sketch and frame the key points behind the development of a startup, and it was meant to strategically analyze and develop startups or documenting existing businesses. The business model canvas describes the firm’s value proposition, partners, resources, activities, customer relationships, distribution channels, customers, revenue streams and cost structure. However, when it comes to innovative startups, this template does not explicitly include innovation measures, no problem/opportunity formulation, or even such a basic component of a business model, as the profit formula. The present paper proposes a novel business model frame to visually and concisely sketch, besides accurately state traditional business concepts, key innovation concepts that any startup should integrate to be a game-changer in a competitive market. This new model is based on a combination of key principles of the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) applied to business and management, such as multi-screen analysis of value-conflict mapping, trends of ideality of business system evolution positioning, among others; but also intellectual property, disruptive strategies, and open innovation, as well as startup metrics to describe the business differentiation and attractiveness to potential investors, incubators and accelerators.

    The Tuned Mass Damper as a Subject in Engineering Mechanics Dynamics
    (IEEE, 2022) Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante Jorge
    The course of Engineering Mechanics Dynamics is one of the most challenging courses for both mechanical and civil engineering programs, among others. But few universities dare to introduce projects to enhance students' curiosity, interest, and engagement toward engineering by constructing do-it-yourself physical prototypes, making measurements, and calculations to compete for the best performance. The intention of this project is to introduce a complex multiple-degree-of-freedom vibration problem in an easy manner, namely, the topic of a tuned mass damper (TMD) applied to earthquake-like oscillations. This type of projects directly addresses all seven student outcomes recommended by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). The project develops critical thinking and inquiry skills by designing and constructing the prototype of a building-like structure and its corresponding TMD; conducting an experiment under certain constraints to test the attenuation after an initial displacement; applying an open-source freeware to plot and measure underdamped oscillations; calculating main vibration parameters; as well as comparing performance results with another teams. Students approach this complex tunning problem by trial-and-error of key TMD parameters, a strategy that sparks fun and gambling to the process and competition for the best performance in attenuation efficiency. Data from direct observation of students' performance, student surveys, reports, presentation videos, office hours, and interviews showed that students enthusiastically responded at all project stages, understood the TMD functioning, and appreciated the value of dynamics in engineering in a more meaningful way than it would be without this type of projects.

    Parameters Effects Study on Pulse Laser for the Generation of Surface Acoustic Waves in Human Skin Detection Applications
    (2015) Chen, Kun; Wu, Sen; Li, Yanning; Li, Tingting; Fu, Xing; Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante Jorge
    Laser-induced Surface Acoustic Waves (LSAWs) has been promisingly and widely used in recent years due to its rapid, high accuracy and non-contact evaluation potential of layered and thin film materials. For now, researchers have applied this technology on the characterization of materials' physical parameters, like Young's Modulus, density, and Poisson's ratio; or mechanical changes such as surface cracks and skin feature like a melanoma. While so far, little research has been done on providing practical guidelines on pulse laser parameters to best generate SAWs. In this paper finite element simulations of the thermos-elastic process based on human skin model for the generation of LSAWs were conducted to give the effects of pulse laser parameters have on the generated SAWs. And recommendations on the parameters to generate strong SAWs for detection and surface characterization without cause any damage to skin are given.

    Study of Tuned Mass Damper for Attenuating Skyscraper Oscillations Through Project-Based Learning
    (Filodiritto Publisher, 2019) Şengül, Özden; Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante Jorge
    The intention of the project was to introduce a complex real-life engineering problem in an easy manner to sophomore students, namely, the topic of a tuned mass damper (TMD). Even though TMD is a multiple-degree-of-freedom vibration problem seen only in advanced university courses, the phenomenon of earthquake effects on buildings is easy to understand. In order to ease the complexity, the multi-degree-of-freedom mathematical problem was converted into a single degree of freedom, such as the behavior of a vertical single-mass cantilever beam. Through a do-it-yourself project to be done in home conditions, students are introduced to the topic of mechanical vibrations via seismic action on tall buildings. Two sections of the "Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics" course, with an overall number of 58 students, participated in the project. The project develops critical thinking and inquiry skills by designing and constructing the physical prototype of a building-like structure and its corresponding tuned mass damper; conducting an experiment under certain restrictions to test the stabilizing effect of the damper after an initial displacement; learning a proper software application to graph and measure underdamped oscillations; calculating corresponding vibration parameters; as well as analyzing and discussing experimental results. Students approach the problem of mass-damper tuning by means of trial and error, an on-purpose strategy to add fun and gambling to the process, to enthusiastically compete for the best performance in terms of efficiency of attenuation. Data were collected from direct observation, surveys, reports and presentations. The results showed that students positively and enthusiastically responded at all project stages and with a better understanding of the phenomenon and engagement in comparison with previous students of the same course without project. The impact of the project on students’ engagement and implications for engineering education are discussed.

    Foundations of Neuroscience-Based Learning
    (Springer International Publishing, 2022) Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante Jorge
    Traditional learning and teaching approaches such as problem-based or project-based learning, among others, do not explicitly consider emotional-enhanced learning, which is a well-known driver of engagement leading to long-term memory retention. On the other hand, existing brain-based learning methods do not provide structured and scientifically-based strategies for the formation of the learner’s emotional experience and engagement. The Neuroscience-based Learning (NBL) technique is a novel neuroeducational approach that explains and applies the implicit neurophysiological mechanisms underlying vivid and highly-arousal emotional experiences leading to long-term memory retention. The NBL is devised from a cybernetics and system approach perspective. It starts from the basis of the neurophysiological learning scheme, describing the relationships among the environment and the learner’s internal mental processes ranging from perceptions, comparison with previous experiences and memories, immediate sensations, reactions, emotions, desires, intentions, higher-order cognitive functions, and controlled actions to the environment. The scheme relates memory systems, non-associative and associative learning mechanisms, implicit and explicit learning subsystems, signaling chemicals, and their neural subsystems, as well as identifying the amygdala as a key sensor triggering and modulating implicit learning. The NBL method exposes the triggers for vivid and highly arousal emotional learning: novelty, unpredictability, sense of low control, threat to the ego, avoidance (aversion-mediated learning), and reward (reward-based learning) and devises the principles of NBL toward more didactic applications. The foundations for implementing NBL in education and recommendations for learning during the online and pandemic situations were proposed. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

    Improved Business Model Representation of Innovation Concepts
    (World Conference on Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, 2015) Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante Jorge; Küçükaydın, Hande; Özlem, Şirin; Bulgan, Gökçe; Aydın, Utkun; Son Turan, Semen; Karamollaoğlu, Nazlı; Teixeira, Frederico Fialho
    Except for academics and consultants, the concept and purpose of innovation (not to mention related concepts such as “Open Innovation", "Free-Intellectual Property Innovation," or "Open Source Innovation") is usually unclear for most entrepreneurs and other practitioners. It often times happens that newly coined terminology becomes misleading or may even include a certain degree of sensationalism, hence turning into a matter of debate for specialists in the realm of technology management. Such has been the case for the term “Open Innovation”, since the word “open” is mainly related to crowd sourced innovation, but not for the openness on intellectual property rights. Since innovation is about the commercialization of original ideas, so we propose a simple and visual business model setting to resolve these concepts. To this regard, the “Business Model Canvas” has been used in business and entrepreneurship to sketch and frame the key points behind the development of a startup. This model was suggested by Alexander Osterwalder (2008) in his work on Business Model Ontology, as a strategic analysis template for developing startups or documenting existing businesses. It describes the firm’s value proposition, partners, resources, activities, customer relationships, distribution channels, customers, revenue streams and cost structure. However, when it comes to innovative startups, this template does not explicitly include such significant innovation components as intellectual property, its alignment to strategies, and intellectual property flow. The present paper proposes the use of an improved version of the Business Model Canvas to originally represent different models of innovation like Open Innovation, thus providing a clear, visual and quick representation of their meaning, and consequently, contribute to a better understanding of different concepts of innovation.
