All systems can be understood using an input-process-output (IPO) model, and the system we call “innovation” is no exception. This model is likely familiar to you from information technology ...

Input-process-output (I-P-O) is a structured methodology for capturing and visualizing all of the inputs, outputs, and process steps that are required to transform inputs into outputs.

It could benefit startups, research teams, and individual developers who previously found higher-tier model access cost-prohibitive.

Mechanical control systems (staplers, car windows) use parts for movement/force control. They include input, process, and output. Types of motion: linear, rotary, reciprocating, oscillating.

Fifth-grader Ben Luft reads the instruction book as he works at solving a challenge while playing Turing Tumble in class Jan. 22. “For me it makes sense," Ben said. "Input, processing and output ...
