Mechanism design is a field in economics and game theory that takes an objectives-first approach to designing economic mechanisms or incentives, toward desired objectives, in strategic settings, where players act rationally. Because it starts at the end of the game, then goes backwards, it is also called reverse game theory. It has broad applications, from economics and politics in such fields as market design, auction theory and social choice theory to networked-systems (internet interdomain routing, sponsored search auctions). Mechanism design studies solution concepts for a class of private-information games. Leonid Hurwicz explains that 'in a design problem, the goal function is the main "given", while themechanism is the unknown. Therefore, the design problem is the "inverse" of traditional economic theory, which is typically devoted to the analysis of the performance of a given mechanism.' So, two distinguishing features of these games are: * that a game "designer" chooses the game structure rather than inheriting one * that the designer is interested in the game's outcome The 2007 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to Leonid Hurwicz, Eric Maskin, and Roger Myerson "for having laid the foundations of mechanism design theory".

Intermittent Planetary Mechanism
This mechanism produces a reciprocating movement, with the forward always longer than the backward. It uses a planetary mechanism with two inputs, the sun and the ring. The output is the arm. The inputs are provided by an intermittent mechanism, with one gear moving two others, one at a ti

Instrument for drafting spiral 1
The orange nut-wheel, by revolving about the fixed central point, describes a spiral by moving along the screw threaded axle either way, and transmits the same to drawing paper on which transfer paper is laid with colored side downward. The obtained spiral is not an Archimedean one.

Geneva Wheel for Precise Indexing
A modified type of Geneva wheel that was developed to obtain precise intermittent indexing movements. This special mechanism was designed to eliminate any backlash or over-running action of the driven member at the end or beginning of each indexing movement. It uses a double locking, with
