Intellectual Property 

Consider your MSD project and identify three possible elements to which you might apply Intellectual Property protection. For each element you have envisioned, identify the form of protection you might apply.

• Trademark any logos or digital media produced 
• Copyright any user interface coded or developed 
• Patent the device to holds the brushes, erasers, pencils 

Consider how you envision handling IP within your team. For example, leave it in the public domain, pursue protection, assign to client, etc.

• Keep things in the public domain

Team Dynamics

D:36 C:27 I:27 S:10

1.  Identify 2 strengths you bring to your team based on your DISC style:

• I am a hard worker
• I am a respectful  person 

2. Identify 1 blind spot you can be more mindful of:

• I may not be the most patient person 

3. What is one pet peeve when working with others in a team who have a different style than you?

• Different ways to complete the same task

4. What is one thing you can do differently to better communicate with an opposite DISC style?

• Talk through the problem first and set up what is expected from the other person

5. List your team member names and their core DISC styles below

Risk Management 

• The device could burn the user-Safety 

• The device has too many exposed cords, users could get caught in them-Safety

• The device can not be used for more than 30 mins at a time- Resource

• The device control panel does not fit on a wheelchair table-Resource

• The device weighs more than 30 lbs. and is too heavy to move around easily- Resource

Sphere of Influence

• Client- The client uses their customer requirements to influence the function of the product.

• Guide- The guide will use his experience and knowledge to influence our decisions.

• Funding Organization - The funding organization is bankrolling the entire project so we have to design a product up to their standards. 

Sphere of Interest

• RIT Community: There is a growing number of people in the RIT community that could use a product like this

• DACP(Disability art and culture project): A national organization that shines a light on art in the disabled community.

• Gov Policies: Government has inclusion laws to help integrate disabled people into the great so

3 Week Template

Functional Decomposition

Concept Generation

Concept 1

User input: Use a Wii controller to gather user input.

Secure the paper: use four small weights in each corner.

Identify drawing area: have a GPS tracker on each corner of the paper.

Mark paper: have a small knife cut slits into the paper.

Grasp Utensil: have a pair of modified pliers to hold the medium in use.

Move to different area: Have a large arm on one side of the paper move around.

Remove used paper:  use the knife and stab it to move the paper to the table.

Move utensil up/down: attached to the arm have a linear servo motor move the utensil up and down as needed.

Determine current location: Have a trained mouse with a GPS tracker find where the current location of the arm is.

Determine paper height: Have a GPS sense of how high the paper is.

Determine utensils height: Use a GPS sensor as well the find the current height of the utensil.

Determine utensils position:  GPS again to find the position of the utensil.

Concept 2

User input: Make a handheld switchboard that has various switched that control each different function of the product.

Secure the paper: Each time putting the paper down, use a couple of command strips to.

Identify drawing area: Have a trained mouse walk along the border of the paper.

Mark paper: use pre-made stickers from a book to use on the paper.

Grasp Utensil: use a rubber band to secure the utensil.

Move to different area: Have four high power fans on each side and move the art utensil in the desired direction.

Remove used paper:  used the installed fans to move the paper out of the product.

Move utensil up/down: attached to the utensil have a small rocket motor move it up and when the motor turns off the utensil will come back down.

Determine current location: use a paintball gun and where the paint ends up is where the current location is.

Determine paper height: use a ruler attached to the side to measure how high the paper is.

Determine utensils height: use another ruler to determine the height of utensils.

Determine utensils position:  use an x-ray wave to determine the current utensil position.

Feasibility

Analysis: How heavy do we want it to be?

Benchmarking: Which way to gather user input?

Prototyping: What is the best way to secure the paper to the product?

Standards

ISO 8991:1986 - Designation system for fasteners

• We will be using many different types of fasteners for this project so it would be helpful to be aware of this standard for fasteners

 ISO 24552:2020 - Ergonomics - Accessible design - Accessibility of information presented on visual displays of small consumer products

• Our controller will need to be designed to be accessible to people with disabilities

 ISO 20690:2018 Graphic technology - Determination of operating power consumption of digital printing devices

• Important to determine the power needs for our device

Updated Concept Design

Secure the paper: Clip

Identify drawing area: Border

Mark paper: Put utensil on paper, move utensil

Grasp Utensil: Clamp

Move to different area: Linear servo

Remove used paper:  Hands

Move utensil up/down:  Worm gear

Determine current location: Encoder

Determine paper height: Ignore

Determine utensils height: Ignore

Determine utensils position:  Ignore
