==Product Dissection==
+
-
The following notes were taken prior to and during [[product dissection]].
+
-
 
+
-
==Function/Purpose:==
+
-
Shreds paper or credit cards placed correctly into feeders
+
-
* Increase security/privacy – not able to easily retrieve information from shredded items
+
-
* Facilitate disposal – reduce volume of garbage
+
-
* Produce confetti
+
-
* Substitute for a recycling bin
+
-
 
+
-
==Inputs/Outputs:==
+
-
* Material Inputs: Paper, Staples, Credit Cards
+
-
* Information Inputs:  Direction of motor rotation
+
-
* Energy Inputs:  120V AC
+
-
* Material Outputs:  Shredded material inputs
+
-
* Information Outputs:  Operation status
+
-
* Energy Outputs:  Heat, Noise, Light
+
-
 
+
-
==Use:==
+
-
1. Scale moved to where weighing takes place (ground) - NOTE: Shaking – noise made
+
-
<br>2. Observed zero reading of dial (does it need calibrating)
+
-
<br>3. Calibration – locate calibration dial, turn dial until zero lines up with red line
+
-
<br>4. Steping on the scale
+
-
* Orientation of the feet around the dial window
+
-
* Even distribution of weight
+
-
* One foot first, then the full weight
+
-
<br>5. Wait for dial to reach equilibrium
+
-
<br>6. Read the number that lines up with the red line
+
-
 
+
-
==Different Users / Use Scenarios==
+
-
* Weighing objects
+
-
* Balance difficult in stepping
+
-
* Weight beyond capacity
+
-
* Body shape in the line of vision
+
-
* Different eyesight
+
-
* Lighting
+
-
* Flat surface
+
-
* Calibration tasks, difficult for Parkinsons, limited hand-eye coordination
+
-
 
+
-
==Functional Operation:==
+
-
1. Force applied to cover
+
-
<br>2. Angle brackets transfer force to levers
+
-
<br>3. Levers amplify the force and transfer to the spring plate
+
-
<br>4. Spring compresses proportionally to the force applied
+
-
<br>5. Pivot transfers vertical motion of the spring plate to the horizontal motion of the rack (amplifies as well)
+
-
<br>6. Rack and pinion translates linear motion into rotational motion
+
-
<br>7. Rotational motion is read out on the dial
