I have been asked by a company called Electrosales to research the security market and produce a range of designs for products that would sell in reasonable numbers. I will produce a prototype- the first example of the product. I then should test and evaluate my design with to see how good it is and to suggest improvements. I have to design both the circuit and the casing onto which it would fit. I think security is a work-wide field because nearly everything relies on security- homes, workplaces, entertainment places etc. Questions I need to ask myself: Who will want my design? Most probably the company and their buyers. What will I create? I don't know just yet, but anything to do with security. Why will I create it? Because I will gain money from it. Where shall I make it? In a developing country where the labor is cheap. When shall I buy the materials? When I have calculated what I need. How often shall I restock? Every time at least over half have gone. How many shall I produce? At first 50, but if people buy a lo of the product we shall go up to 200 and then see what happens from then on. How much shall it cost? We must make sure that our income is a lot more than our outcome then we can expand. Types of security: . Locks 2. Gates 3. Passwords. 4. Riddles 5. Retinal Scanners 6. Voice Recognizers 7. Fingerprint recognizer. 8. Usernames 9. Keys 10.
McDonalds sector and what happens
BUSINESS ACTIVITY By Vicki Allison 10J McDonalds sector and what happens McDonalds is in the tertiary group. This means that it provides a service to the public. However if a problem occurs in the primary or the secondary stage, McDonalds will suffer. Therefore they will receive lower profits and will have difficulty selling the food. The raw materials that McDonalds get are extracted from: (a) Meat and milk from animals (b) Grain and fruit from farming (c) Fish from the sea and from fish farms In the manufacturing process for McDonalds, the chain of production begins in the primary sector with the extraction of raw materials. The raw materials have been extracted from their natural sources. Examples of these are: (a) Wood and paper from forests (b) Stone and gravel from quarries (c) Metal and coal from mines (d) Petroleum from oil fields For the majority of businesses, the first stage in the chain of production will be the extraction of raw materials. This is the chain of production: PRIMARY SECTOR-- SECONDARY SECTOR-- TERTIARY SECTOR The primary sector is the first stage where the extraction of raw materials takes place. The secondary sector is where the products are made The tertiary sector is where foods are made and sold to the public. McDonalds get all their materials from a wholesaler. The company they use is called GOLDEN WEST. They probably use
Describe the Benefits of Mobile Technology.
Nothing is beyond human imagination. If we had been told just five years ago that we would be able to see the person on the phone, we would not have believed it at all. Today almost everything is doable thanks to the technological progress that has been made in the last 20 years. We are now able to access any kind of information at an incredible rate and communicate with people regardless of time and space with mobile technology. Despite having several drawbacks that some people are growing concerned about, mobile technology is an indispensable aspect of human life in terms of comfort and abundance of facilities it offers. Doubtlessly, enhanced mobile technology is a golden opportunity for all humans to get the utmost enjoyment of life in comfort. Initially, the latest technology lets people do what they cannot imagine. For instance, they are able to connect to the Internet at far greater speed through wireless service and make video calls on their mobile phones with “3rd Generation (3G) Technology”. Moreover, 3G also enables them to use their phones for entertainment purposes as well. That is, they can watch and download videos as if they were using their laptop computers. Secondly, mobile technology has increased the speed of accessibility to sources. Humans are no longer obliged to go to libraries and flick through the pages of numerous (countless) books, journals or
Multidisciplinary approaches in ergonomics
Multidisciplinary approaches in Ergonomics In the redesign of an assembly or packing line a multidisciplinary team of medical and technical representatives work collectively to identify, evaluate, and control risks to employees whilst maintaining productivity for the company concerned. Those who contribute to the redesigning of industrial equipment, such as assembly or packing lines, include professionals with a variety of expertise, including the occupational health nurse, occupational therapist, occupational hygienist, physiotherapist, ergonomist, human resource staff, and the design engineers. The role of each representative from the seven groups will often overlap, the objective for all however is to identify health hazards in the workplace and eliminate them, protecting workers from the primary sources of health risks whilst designing proficient equipment that makes the best of the workers potential without exceeding their physical and psychological capacity. The role of the occupational health nurse is to provide nursing care in the work environment to employees and others with injury and illness. The nurse gives emergency care, prepares accident reports, and arranges further treatment or care if required. They also assess work environments for potential or actual health problems. Their contribution to redesigning an assembly or packing line would be in the form of

Textiles essay on environmental factors, product life, manufacturing methods and maintenance in relation to products
Designers and manufacturers have to take account of manufacturing methods. Maintenance, product life and environmental factors when designing. Discuss these four areas in relation to a product or a range of products. (22 Marks) Designers and manufacturers have to take account of many things when designing products. I am going to discuss four areas that need to be taken into account which include environmental, manufacturing methods, product life and maintenance. Designers and manufactures have to take many environmental factors into consideration. For example; designers need to take into account whether a product they are designing such as a top will be fair-trade or not so that they know whether or not they will need to use fair-trade fabrics to make the top which they would need to import. They would need to think about whether or not more people would prefer to buy fair-trade products due to ethical reasons which might increase the sales of the top if it is fair-trade so this would give an indication to the designer of how much money they would make from the top and how much fabric they would need to make the top if they were to make it fair-trade. Manufacturers would need to take into account the amount of pollution their machines in the factories are making and the effect on the environment. Pollution could also be created from chemical dyes which might be used to dye
The Differences and Assimilation of Chinese and American Diet
________________ Food plays an extremely important part in people's lives and it is considered the most critical element in Chinese culture. China has billions of people and the most abundant and various nature landscapes. There are plateaus, forests, lakes and coasts. The mixture of China’s geography and climate help natural products to grow and preserve. None of the other countries has this many potential primary ingredients. In now days, Chinese food is famous all around the world. American diet differs significantly from the traditional Chinese diet in both nutrition and taste. In the options of dishes, Chinese people pay more attention to the color, taste, smell and shape of Chinese food. There is an old saying in China “To conquer someone’s heart, you must conquer their stomach first”. It can clearly show the importance of food in Chinese culture. There are many differences in diet habit between China and America. These differences exist regarding cooking styles, ingredients, and desserts. There are many cooking styles in Chinese food, and it may be confusing to foreigners such as steam, boil, mix, roast, quick fry, deep fry, smock, grill, back and stew and so on, especially for someone new to Chinese food. Boiling is the most common form of Chinese cooking; Chinese boiling is to put ingredients and other food in chicken soup or water using high flame until
Were developing a shoe removal detector which identifies and notifies a person entering the premises with shoes. Were developing it in a way to work as an intruder alarm as well. Though there are many intruder alarms in market this one includes shoe
Executive summary This project development proposal is for "Shoes removal detector". In many cultures, it is considered unclean to wear shoes in the home. Sometimes visitors from different backgrounds sometimes forget to remove their shoes when they enter such cultured homes. To counter this problem Shoe removal detector will help to notify person who forget to remove their shoes. The focus market of this shoe removal detector is every house owner who want keep their house hygienic and keep dirt away from visitors' shoes. Especially asian(Indian+Chinese) backgrounded people are the market focus. Also the Hindu and Buddhist temples insist people to remove shoes before entering. Such kind of places could also be a good market place. According to some research over billions of people around the world, they have custom removing shoes outside the house. Most of east Asian and south east asian people have culture removing their shoes outside the house. In the western culture people have been preferring to wear shoes or some kind of protection on their feet. But nowadays western people are becoming more concerned about hygiene issues and started to prefer removing shoes. During our research we found that western people are also likely to buy the shoe removal detector because they are aware of the fact that shoes with dirt, pesticides and toxins may seriously affect human
Jared Diamond versus Charles Mann on the Sophistication of Metalwork in Native America
Jared Diamond versus Charles Mann on the Sophistication of Metalwork in Native America Jared Diamond's theory in his book Guns, Germs and Steel states that the Europeans were able to conquer the Natives because of their favorable geography, a key factor that lent itself to the manufacturing of steel and which Charles Mann, author of 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus, also discusses in detail. Both Diamond and Mann agree that the centuries of experience in making steel weaponry in Eurasia gave the Spanish conquistadors an advantage over the Natives in combat; however, Diamond claims that the Europeans had an upper hand because their metal work was more sophisticated, whereas the Natives were merely "stuck in the bronze age," (3) for which he discredits their advancements in metal technology. On the contrary, Mann contends that the Natives' metal work was more advanced than their European counterparts (3), and that the indigenous societies "may not have had steel for weapons, but [they] did highly sophisticated work with other metals" (3). Although Europeans had more experience in working with metal, and in developing different techniques in manufacturing metal that seemed more refined, Mann argues in 1491 that the Natives' techniques and use for metal was not nearly as primitive as what Diamond presumes in his book Guns, Germs, and Steel. Diamond argues
Target location technology, tracking systems.
Target location technology Technologies used: Today there are many differing forms of tracking systems that can be used to locate targets accurately very much different to the simple procedures used on aircraft in world war two. One of these technologies is symbology. These are imaged laid over the real world images. The images give target position and other relevant information such as the planes heading. The images change as quickly as the real world view change, there is no visible delay as this could have fatal consequences. The target is clear and weapons can easily be directed to the correct point. The guidance images are displayed in the pilot's head-mounted display. These are developed at BAE systems, and their design is critical due to the setting they are used in. The headsets are linked to a powerful and accurate computer that works very quickly to update the view almost instantly and to give warnings about dangerous situations. The Kiowa helicopter from the US Army used a symbology system that included night vision. The system recorded the mission allowing the pilot to play it back. The US Army also uses a laser as a target locator. It has been developed into a hand held laser targeting technology that doesn't damage eyes. Currently they are largely ground based but they allow targets to be located and intensified even in the dark. This technology
