    A suitable hanger: A redesigned hanger addresses the way people get dressed. Traditional suit hangers store pants inside the jacket. But people put the pants on first and take them off last. The Pants Out hanger from Advanced Hanger LLC, Lake Forest, Calif., stores pants outside the jacket, so people don’t have to remove the jacket and throw it over a chair while putting on the pants.

    Synthetic travel smooths out suspension problems:
    Bounce, pitch, and roll, recorded on tape and played into an analog computer, help GM engineers solve equations in ride motion without using prototype cars or proving grounds. A standard auto body minus wheels and suspension replaces the regular car. Tires and suspension are programmed into the computer, which reacts in real time to the makebelieve road effects. Car speed varies according to tape speed — controlled by the brakes and accelerator.
