Problem1: List at least ten products that already exist, which you use, that are constantly

being modified to take advantage of new technologies.

1- Television

2- Computers

3- Refrigerators

4- Automobiles

5- Air-conditioner

6- Mobile phones

7- Medicine

8- Agriculture

Problem2: List five sports-related products that you think should be designed to make
playing sports more fun.

Ans:

1- Basket ball---slam ball

Basketball should be converted into more exciting sports by modifying the court with the
addition of trampolines resulting in the creation of high adrenaline sport called “slam ball”.

2- Hawk eye (for tennis, cricket, and baseball)

It is a system consisting of high speed cameras that record the motion of a ball and a computer
connected with these cameras shows the distinct path of the ball. This system is used in cricket to
make decision about the “lbw”.

3- Goal-ref (for football)

It is a technology that is competing with Hawk-Eye for implementation in football. It is used for
determining that the ball has fully crossed the line or not. GoalRef is a radio-based sensing
system which uses low-frequency magnetic fields placed around the goal post.
4-Snickometer-(forcricket)
it is the technology that is used television replays for cricket matches. The system, created way
back in the mid-1990s, uses a microphone placed on the stumps, and measures the sound
intensity at every instant

5-HotSpot-(forcricket)
Hot Spot is considered more accurate than the Snickometer. The set up consists of infra-red
cameras that measure heat that results from friction when the ball hits the pad, or bat, or the
ground, or the batsman's glove, as the case may be.

Problem3: You have seen bottle and container caps in use all around you. Investigate the
design of bottle caps used in any two of the following products: Pepsi or Coke bottles,
aspirin bottles, shampoo bottles, mouthwash bottles, liquid cleaning containers, hand lotion
containers, aftershave bottles, and ketchup or mustard bottles.

Ans:
1- Pepsi/coke bottle
Pepsi or coke bottle employ a metal cap with a plastic lining, suitably sealed with a crimping tool
to provide effective seal. This form of cap is one time use and thus also prevents adulterations if
any.
These are easily manufactured and assemble. They provide secure and air tight fit. But they are
expensive compared to plastic caps.
2- Hand lotion container
Instead of tossing away those old bottles of lotion or shampoo, you can make a phone holder for
charging. Created from an up cycled bottle, this convenient caddy makes it easy to charge your
phone at any outlet without leaving a trail of wire across the floor.
