- | ==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
