Articulation (other)
Articulation may refer to: Linguistics * Articulatory phonetics, the study of how humans produce speech sounds via the interaction of physiological structures ** Manner of articulation, how speech organs involved in making a sound make contact ** Place of articulation, positions of speech organs to create distinctive speech sounds * Articulatory gestures, the actions necessary to enunciate language * Articulatory phonology, a theory that attempts to unify phonetics and phonology * Articulatory speech recognition, the recovery of speech from acoustic signals * Articulatory synthesis, computational techniques for synthesizing speech based on models of human articulation processes * Topic–focus articulation, a field of study concerned with marking old and new information in a clause Engineering * Articulated vehicle, which have a pivoted joint allowing them to turn more sharply * Articulation score, in telecommunications, a subjective measure of the intelligibility of a voice sy ...

Bendable Concrete
Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC), also called Strain Hardening Cement-based Composites (SHCC) or more popularly as bendable concrete, is an easily molded mortar-based composite reinforced with specially selected short random fibers, usually polymer fibers. Unlike regular concrete, ECC has a tensile strain capacity in the range of 3–7%, compared to 0.01% for ordinary portland cement (OPC) paste, mortar or concrete. ECC therefore acts more like a ductile metal material rather than a brittle glass material (as does OPC concrete), leading to a wide variety of applications. Development ECC, unlike common fiber reinforced concrete, is a family of micromechanically designed materials. As long as a cementitious material is designed/developed based on micromechanics and fracture mechanics theory to feature large tensile ductility, it can be called an ECC. Therefore, ECC is not a fixed material design, but a broad range of topics under different stages of research, development, an ...

Bendable LED
A flexible display or rollable display is an electronic visual display which is flexible in nature, as opposed to the traditional flat screen displays used in most electronic devices. In recent years there has been a growing interest from numerous consumer electronics manufacturers to apply this display technology in e-readers, mobile phones and other consumer electronics. Such screens can be rolled up like a scroll without the image or text being distorted. Technologies involved in building a rollable display include electronic ink, Gyricon, Organic LCD, and OLED. Electronic paper displays which can be rolled up have been developed by E Ink. At CES 2006, Philips showed a rollable display prototype, with a screen capable of retaining an image for several months without electricity. In 2007, Philips launched a 5-inch, 320 x 240-pixel rollable display based on E Ink’s electrophoretic technology. Some flexible organic light-emitting diode displays have been demonstra ...
