Cadence and Triad Semi Vie to be the Topcoder of Hardware

I think it's a worthwhile idea - any circuit design can testify that, in a job at a large corporation, there's too much he needs to do that he'd rather leave to someone else. At the same time, the type of work he does enjoy is little and infrequent.

Enter the topcoder of circuit-design - and architecture.

Maybe some University Professor needs to latch onto this before a large corporation does.

Inspired by Hillsborough - Your Iron Jacket

The Problem

The Hillsborough disaster of 1989 resulted in about 100 deaths from compressive asphixia - the victims couldn't breathe because of overcrowding. Think about it, your chest has no room to expand (not your stomach either). What can you do?
The Solution

What if you had a jacket with a rigid frame - so strong that it could resist large compressive force and guarantee its wearer sufficient breathing space?
