‘TOG: the Everest Leg’ to animate the adventurous spirit of physically challenged

Posted: 10 Mar 2012 05:38 AM PST

Asmita Prasad:

The concept

Even though prosthetics are getting more and more high tech, amputee hikers and climbers are looking for a low tech solution for both rock climbing and hiking. Since most prosthetic limbs are custom-fitted to the user for all-terrain, all-weather, all-round daily usage, these prosthetics are not ideal for specific purposes of climbing and hiking and prove to be uncomfortable to the avid hiker and climber who often needs to rely on maintaining and carrying separate prosthetics that respond to the differing needs of hiking and climbing.

TOG, the Everest Leg
TOG, the Everest Leg

The Target In the United States alone, over 1,000 returning veterans have had an amputation below the waist. Over 57 percent of all amputees report to have experienced pain while wearing a prosthetic and since wearing this prosthetic hurts, life can be very difficult for physically active ex-service persons. To stay fit, most veterans and active service persons rely on sports or other physically challenging activities which have to be discontinued after an amputation. Since a normal below the waist amputee uses 1.5 times more energy in daily activities like walking than a regular able-bodies person, they are more likely to give up physically taxing activities and sports which can increases the chances of depression among them.

The need

For below the waist amputee athletes, there is no one size fits all solution. You can't just walk into a store and get a prosthetic limb when you want to go hiking or climbing. Every prosthetic is fitted to the wearer and most prosthetics are still made using old techniques. Most war veterans and amputee athletes want more sports-specific prosthetics that are not readily available in the market.

In terms of rock climbing prosthetics, a study showed that prosthetics with short straight legs decrease climbing times and result in the climber using less oxygen which means they take less energy to use while helping you get to the top quicker. However, these aren't yet readily available in the market which is where TOG, the Everest Leg comes into the picture.

The design requirements of the hiking/climbing leg specify that such a prosthetic needs to be modular. If this is to be used for both hiking and climbing it should have both a hiking mode and a climbing mode. However, this modularity shouldn't affect the weight of the limb.

The legs also need to be built out of standard prosthetic materials but need to incorporate extra reinforcements in certain areas to make it suitable for all-terrain use. As no one wants to climb with extra dead weight, this leg needs to be both lightweight as well as comfortable because one the biggest reason amputees won't wear a new prosthetic is because it isn't comfortable.

Key features

Drawing inspiration from human anatomy, the designer began by sketching the musculature of the leg in order to draw encouragement from biomorphic. Extensive research was conducted with three different kinds of prosthetics with different below the waist amputee as well as an active above knee amputee to determine the ease of use for the Everest Leg.

The Everest Leg offers users a 38 percent change in height in climbing and hiking modes that helps the limb increase range of motion and optimize user's performance for both activities. The leg features a free swinging knee lock for climbing that can be manipulated and adjusted with a simple Allen wrench. Safety rope helps keep the legs attached both while climbing and hiking and the foot has a rubber console so the user doesn't need to wear extra shoes.

In climb mode, the leg's laminated plastic helps protect vulnerable carbon fiber and lengthens socket life. The new slim profile with an air value ensures that the limb protrudes less underneath clothes. The leg height is fully adjustable with a double push button for safety that lets user customize leg height to their needs while the foot rotates 180 degrees to make climb easier and reduces the stress on residual limbs.

The solution

The leg height of the Everest Leg adjusts with a retractable steel pin which has a shear strength of over 11,000 pounds that ensures that the user is safe at any height. With a button on each side, there cannot be any accidental presses to unlock the leg. Climbing freely is also no longer a problem with a fully articulating knee and climbers can lose that shoe deadweight too. When it's time to climb, users can get out an Allen wrench and tighten the knee to lock it into position and the leg will shrink 7 inches by pressing down on both sides of the calf. A foot that pivots 180 degrees lets the user hike on a full foot and climb on a short one. This reduces the length of the lever their weight is resting on, increasing efficiency and reducing stress. The socket includes a layer of memory foam to compensate for volume loss in the residual limb as the day progresses. This adds to the overall comfort of the hiker/climber and a safety ring wraps through the back of the calf ensuring the bottom half of the leg doesn't fall off in the event of a failure.

Communicator medical device becomes a fashion accessory for seniors

Posted: 10 Mar 2012 05:31 AM PST

Asmita Prasad:

The concept

Created by designer Anders Lassen, the Communicator is a brand new medical safety device intended to serve as a fashionable accessory for seniors. This fully functional emergency communication device uses wireless connectivity to stay connected to the telephonic network without using the strong frequency network. The device looks to provide an immediate and effective solution to the fears of the elderly who live alone, and want a way to communicate to their family and caretakers in case an emergency occurs and they do not be able to get to a phone.

Communicator
Communicator

The Target

The target user of the Communicator are senior citizens who live alone in their homes and fear that in case an emergency occurs, they wont be able to notify their family or caretakers in time. Being in a situation where they would not be able to get help such as while falling down the stairs or in the bathroom, is one of the greatest fears faced by the elderly living alone. Such users are also not comfortable using modern gadgets like iPhones, smartphones or other internet-based high-tech gears, and thus any app or medical aid based on these devices isn't typically suited to this target group of users. However, the Communicator can also effectively be used even by the children when they are away from adult supervision, or in situations where a large group of children are being managed by a few adults (e.g., a field trip, weddings and other family gathering, hikes or even being in the playground at a distance from the adults).

The need

The elderly and children alike may not always be very well acquainted with high tech modern gadgets, which means that they are more likely to be caught in situations of emergency without being able to communicate the situation to a concerned person who can help. A low-tech device with easy connectivity and easy to use interface can, in such situations, allow these users to call for help immediately. Providing a full time caretaker for the elderly is very costly and hinders their independence.

Key features

Designed for people with different needs, the 'Personal Communication Device' or the 'Communicator' is an intuitive and easy to use device that is always ready at hand. With a soft and friendly shape, the device can fit into the lifestyle of the users very easily as a fashion accessory. Apart from being easy to use and chic to look at, the Communicator is sophisticated and can perform its functions superbly. The slider geometry of the communication device comes with soft and easy to use buttons, and the device uses Wi-Fi and an IP to stay connected to the telecomm network.

Picture Gallery
Communicator
Communicator by Anders Lassen

The solution

The Communicator is a practical yet fashionable medical aid that can alert the authorities and emergency services as well as relatives and people listed as "in case of emergency" contacts when the user gets stuck in an emergency. The primary buttons on the device are pre-programmed to alert the fire department and the police by calling 911 and 112 as well as a 'private' emergency service, the home nurse or a security company. Next up, the device is geared to contact ICE 1 (In Case of Emergency), the person who has been specified by the user as the immediate contact person when an emergency occurs.

The Communicator is to be given to the users only after its services have been activated by a service provider/phone company. A yellow LED icon flashes every few seconds to indicate that the device is active but in standby mode. If a user has activated one of the alarms, the LED flashes intensively in a bright red color with an accompanying acoustic alarm to indicate that the device is connecting or that the user has experienced an emergency.

The device features flowing lines all over its surface that merge into a muscular taper edge marked with a speaker. The whole device, from the earpiece to the mouthpiece is crafted in an elegant shape. The buttons and lights in the device play off of each other. Protruded light glowing in soft blue serves as the power button. The device could be turned on and off by simply pushing this button. Its use doubles as an answer and end call button when the light flashes on the device.

This graceful device highlights the HTC logo that lights up to notify that device is working perfectly and giving its best. The speaker is crafted very smartly on inner side of the HTC Exhaust Bluetooth with two slim cuts to catch the voice. Nothing extra has been added to it to avoid any type of distraction and efforts have been made to maintain the sophistication of its shape and style.

Sharp HEMS visualizing smart energy monitoring of consumer electronics

Posted: 10 Mar 2012 05:11 AM PST

Christina Pinto:

The concept:

The environmental movement is the need of the hour to conserve energy. If every household did its duty of energy conservation, then humanity will see a substantial decrease in energy expenditure and dependency on non-renewable sources. Energy conservation technology is the way to go! Sharp is developing an advanced Home Energy Management System to monitor and control consumer electronics. The system outlines a visual representation of the amount of power consumed by electronics individually and as a whole in the home. Each electronic device can also be controlled by a tablet or smartphone via wireless connection.

Sharp HEMS
Sharp HEMS

The inspiration:

The increasing awareness of energy conservation is prompting people to buy energy saving devices. However, unless you have a clear understanding of your home's energy consumption, splurging on energy saving devices will be a wasted effort. This is where Sharp's technological developments enter to clear all doubts.

The usability:

The Home Management System to be sold commercially includes five units and a router, and is capable of connecting up to 30 units. For example, the system measures power consumed by TV and relays the data to the tablet, informing the homeowner the number of watts the TV is functioning on. Same can be done for other electronics. So the homeowner has a comprehensive idea of the total power consumption of the electronics in his home.

Moreover, you can adjust the settings of the device to alter the power consumption and verify results via your tablet. To reduce energy consumption by activating the LED's controls, select "LED" on the tablet to adjust the tone and brightness of the LED lights. View the tablet screen to check how your command affected the power consumption.

Currently, the system is compatible with Sharp's electronics as they have a built-in receiver for the remote control. However, plans are underway to make the system operable with other manufacturers' products as well.

What's hot?

The system can supervise the total energy consumption in your home. All you have to do is connect it to the main power source. It can even work with electric vehicles.

Scribble Compositor allows easy text, doodles and scribbles sharing

Posted: 10 Mar 2012 05:08 AM PST

Asmita Prasad:

A common problem for creative groups working on projects together is that they need to be physically together to share texts and sketches easily while discussing the design verbally. Though the use of scanners, copiers, printers and video conferencing enables users to share their concepts and sketches they require, this process requires users to be near a workstation fitted with all the gadgets which is not always feasible for designers and students on the go. The Scribble Compositor by designer Alain Monteiro allows users to create and share handwritten texts, sketches, scribblings and drawings with ease without having to process them through a number of gadgets to change hard copies into e-copies.

The "Spartan" is a term used to characterize soldiers of ancient Sparta who were known for their frugal, bold, rigorous and aggressive nature. The simple and austere nature of Spartans was their specialty and the electric car that we are about to talk about here has been rightly named as "Spartan" as it fulfills all the condition to be arrogantly entitled with this name. This electric car concept by Rubem Freire has been devised for Italian company CRK.

The CRK Spartan concept electric vehicle features a unique design with no doors at all and a single moving canopy like covering that allows maximum entering area to the users. This single structure decreases design complexity by reducing moving parts. To make the car look roomy and to bestow maximum visibility, plentiful glass area has been provided which is vital for the design of such a small car. The headlights are located following the front glass. Though the size of the car is quite small but it does not compromise with the comfort of the driver. The interior is dimensioned in a generous way to make sure that even relatively large person fits in comfortably.

The car features a carbon fiber roll bar that not only adds style to its look and aesthetics but also imparts safety and structural characteristic. The electric vehicle perfectly fits in the urban environments because of its sporty/forceful look, air intakes, distinct spoiler and large front wheel arches. The project presently is being resigned as a simple three wheeler model and the simplicity of the project is sure to bring success to its manufacturing.
