MisticRiver :: For iriver Enthusiasts - iriver~iriver~iriver - iRiver : great products, poor ergonomy, NO support. By ergonomy i was talking about ergonomics yes, how easy the thing is to manipulate, handle in a day to day use. I'll just talk about the company ho built it, iRiver, and about ergonomy on their product. The intended word is ergonomics, which is the state of being easy to use or well designed. www.misticriver.net /boards/showthread.php?t=1789   (5543 words)

A Conversation with Samuel Hawkins For some reason, the scene in "Last Son" where Lex is motivated into action by the fact that his assistant tends to try to engage him in small talk has always stuck with me. We see some of Lex's true feelings on the rest of humanity there. I went into the engineering side of psychology (commonly called human factors or ergonomics). I guess I would sum up my perspective by saying that I think there is room in the legend for interpretations of the character that explore the subtle boundaries between Clark and Superman, and the more overt boundaries between human imperfection and inhuman, god-like, wish-fulfilling competence. theages.superman.ws /users/hawkins/interview.php   (3088 words)

Occupational Hazards - Looking Beyond the Battle of the TLVs Over the last several years, there has been a trend to dealing with indoor air quality problems and ergonomics. Garber: There has been a lot of talk about broadening our scope. Garber: Well, of course, subsequent to Sept. 11, everybody is concerned about terrorism and the biological and chemical agents that might be used by terrorists, and how to prepare for that. www.occupationalhazards.com /articles/index.php?id=4204   (925 words)

How to Buy a Stretcher , stretcher manufacturers are doing their part to design products with medic safety and ergonomics in mind. Talk with services that are using the products you are interested in buying to find out how reliable they are and whether other medics find that model easy to use. Purchasing a stretcher is almost like purchasing a vehicle — one needs to consider whether to get the basic model or one with all the bells and whistles. www.merginet.com /tools_technology/products/newstretcher.cfm   (769 words)

Computer Workstation Ergonomics Voice input allows you to "talk" to your computer. Continuous work on the computer may expose soft tissues in these areas to repetition, awkward postures, and forceful exertions, especially if the workstation is not set up properly. Lighting not suited to working with a computer is a major contributing factor in visual discomforts including eyestrain, burning or itching eyes, and blurred or double vision. www.cdc.gov /od/ohs/Ergonomics/compergo.htm   (2361 words)

infoSync World : Review Centre : Jabra FreeSpeak 250 Two other benefits carried on in the FreeSpeak 250 include excellent ergonomics, as it can be worn for several hours without particular discomfort, and the forward boom which we suspect contributes to the excellent microphone sensitivity. Continuing its positive strike, the FreeSpeak 250 proved to live up to Jabra's claims of a whopping 8 hours of talk time and 240 hours of standby time: our tests showed the headset to fall only minimally short of these claims. During testing, the FreeSpeak 250 proved capable of reliably transmitting audio at distances of approximately 8 meters under real life conditions, which is a slight improvement over its predecessor. www.infosyncworld.com /reviews/n/4471.html   (244 words)

Human Error in Medicine "Error awareness." Hopefully this document and my journal club have raised your awareness to the variety of errors that can occur in medical work settings, and provided you with a basic vocabulary and framework to think and talk about errors. These deaths are at about about 1 in 200,000 now, down from 1 in 10,000 a decade ago; many believe this is partially due to improvements in ergonomics, operating room layout, monitoring interfaces, and other system-wide refinements that were suggested by the study of error and performance in anesthesia. Errors typically only become concerns when accidents occur. camis.stanford.edu /people/felciano/research/humanerror/humanerrortalk.html   (244 words)

Amazon.com: Leo Laporte's 2006 Technology Almanac (Leo Laportes's Technology Almanac): Books: Leo Laporte,Michael Miller A page is devoted to each day of the year, and each page includes several elements: typically a single-topic essay that takes up most of the page (on subjects as varied as ergonomics, Easter eggs in popular programs, processor overclocking, and discount-travel Web sites), and hints, tips, references to worthwhile software, and goofy trivia. Leo currently hosts The Tech Guy technology talk show on Los Angeles radio station KFI AM 640, every Saturday and Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. Leo Laporte is TV and radio& most recognized and prolific technology personality, best known for his humor, wit and ability to teach both newcomers and grizzled PC veterans. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0789733978?v=glance   (905 words)

Kim J. Vicente - Human Factors Research Lab In April 2003, Dr. Vicente visited the University of Minnesota and gave a talk sponsored by the All University Graduate Minor in Human Factors/Ergonomics. These findings may have practical implications for shaping coordination in complex systems, and fundamental implications for the development of a general unified theory of coordination for the technical, human, and social sciences. Ecological interface design (EID) is a theoretical framework that aims to support worker adaptation to change and novelty in complex systems. education.umn.edu /kin/research/hfrl/Personnel/vicente.html   (905 words)

ME297 Design Theory and Methodolody Seminar The design of human-centered systems is familiar in various subfields of cognition and software engineering, ranging from human factors and cognitive ergonomics to user interface design and cognitive modeling. In this talk, I show how we are putting together the different design dimensions of human-centered computing and specifically how the perspective relates to artificial intelligence research. In the past decade at the Institute for Research on Learning, he developed a multiagent simulation of work practice, called Brahms, which is based on the distinction between tasks and activities. design.stanford.edu /Courses/me297-all/spring1998/clancey.html   (183 words)

Confined Space After all, for all the media's talk of SEIU shunning politics in favor of organizing, the union was no piker in the last election, spending an estimated $65 million to get John Kerry elected. This ringing defense of NIOSH's science is rather ironic considering that the Congressional repeal of the federal standard, supported and signed by the White House, was based on their alleged lack of confidence in the science behind ergonomics, as described in the NIOSH report. Partially due to union efforts, fair labor practices and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration were born. spewingforth.blogspot.com   (183 words)
