Hello there!
First of all, please don=92t be upset if you get this message more than once, this could be because you are in more than one google group. I am desperately trying to contact people from all over the world, and spread the word about my project, so I=92m in all google groups...
I am student of the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration in Austria and I am currently engaged in a project about innovative solutions for the adjustment of car seats. The actual goal of our project is to conduct a workshop where we bring together people who find themselves confronted with unsatisfying solutions in the market and have ideas or innovated on their own already - and with market I do not only mean the target market of car seating systems but also analogous markets that face the same or very similar problems and needs. For example I was told that redundant forces of car seats are pretty similar to the ones of ski bindings =96 so maybe it=92s possible to use some materials and systems involved in the ski bindings to make the rails of a car seat lighter and to make them stronger, highly productive and/or powerful? Another thing we are thinking about is finding other materials than steel to be able to build a lighter rail =96 the whole automotive industry is thinking about weight and how to get every part of car easier. Audi for example has made a car out of aluminium. But can you use it of seating rails, too? What about materials used in other industries like golf, sailplanes, aircraft, racing cars, iceboating, rollercoaster, elevators, military, =85. Would it be possible to use the materials they use?
As you can see there are numerous questions and I am sure that out there are numerous people agonising over those questions and even finding solutions to them. I am therefore interested in identifying such people, and bring them together to our workshop, which will offer co-operations, get to know like-minded people (from all over the world) and develop new cool ideas.
I hope I could attract some interest and maybe find some people through this group, and maybe if you aren't a person like I described above, maybe you do know someone that might be interesting for me.
Please don't hesitate to contact me =96 Id be very thankful for every hint you could give me.
Yours,
Nicole
