Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel strategy of designing play equipments. The strategy introduces two loose constraints as a guideline for designers. The first constraint is “describing unit of play action chain_ based on Barthes_ semiology, and the second is the infomorphism between designer, play equipment, and players based on channel theory. We provide detailed explanation of the strategy through an example of a designing process of playing environment where the players usage of the play equipment cannot be foreseen.

Abstract:
Background:Promotion of physical activity in children depends on an understanding of how children use play equipment.Methods:We conducted observations over 2 years of children in 2nd through 8th grades in a schoolyard with 5 distinct play areas with different amounts of play equipment.Results:Children were more likely to play in areas with more installed play equipment, with densities of children in equipped areas 3.3 to 12.6 times higher than in an open grassy field. There were no significant differences by play area in the percent of children who were physically active at all, but children were more likely to be very active in areas with basketball goals and an installed play structure than in an open field.Conclusions:Playground equipment appeared to have a strong influence on where children played and a moderate influence on levels of activity. To maximize physical activity in children, playgrounds should be designed with ample and diverse play equipment.

Abstract:
Background: Play equipment at home could be targeted in interventions to increase children’s physical activity (PA), but evidence is mixed, potentially because current methods do not reflect children’s lived experience. This study investigated associations between combinations of equipment and PA. Methods: Data were from the Mothers and their Children’s Health study and the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health. Mothers (n = 2409) indicated the types of fixed active (eg, trampolines), portable active (eg, bicycles), and electronic (eg, computers) equipment at home, and the number of days children (n = 4092, aged 5–12 y, 51% boys) met PA guidelines. Latent class analysis was used to identify combinations of equipment, and linear regressions were used to investigate associations with PA. Results: Compared with children with high active (fixed and portable) and medium electronic equipment, children with portable active and medium (B = −0.53; 95% confidence interval, −0.72 to −0.34) or high (B = −0.58; 95% confidence interval, −0.83 to −0.33) electronic equipment met the guidelines on fewer days. Children with similar active equipment (but more electronic equipment) met the PA guidelines on fewer days (mean difference = −0.51, SE = 0.14, P = .002). Conclusion: Having the right combination of play equipment at home may be important for children’s PA.

Abstract:
Dissertação apresentada na Universidade de Lisboa - Faculdade de Arquitetura, para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Design de Produto.
A consciência da importância de espaços públicos dedicados a crianças no seu desenvolvimento integral, tem vindo a crescer desde os finais do século XIX. Esta importância aumenta quando nos deparamos com algumas transformações na nossa sociedade como a redução do tamanho das famílias e a diminuição dos espaços domésticos para brincar, entre outras. Paralelamente, há um crescimento do mercado de brinquedos e equipamentos lúdico-pedagógicos de teor científico. Assim, na presente dissertação, pretende-se projectar um sistema de equipamentos urbanos lúdicos para o público infantil que englobe música e os benefícios desta, com o objectivo de associar o conhecimento a uma actividade lúdica, facilitar a aprendizagem e, ao mesmo tempo, promover o exercício físico e o desenvolvimento social. Sendo uma dissertação de teor prático, recorrer-se-á a uma metodologia mista. Primeiramente não intervencionista de observação directa, recolha e organização da literatura e numa segunda fase, intervencionista, a investigação activa, que consiste no projecto do sistema que será confrontada com diversos especialistas. Teve-se como objectivo projectar um sistema que leve à interacção com a música contribuindo para uma melhor relação entre as crianças e o conhecimento facilitando-lhes a aprendizagem. Assim esperamos contribuir para um maior conhecimento nas áreas do design de equipamentos infantis e criar um sistema passível de ser divulgado e comercializado mais tarde.
ABSTRACT: The awareness of the importance of public spaces dedicated to children in their full development has been growing since the late nineteenth century. This importance increases when we face with some changes in our society such as the reducing size of families and domestic space to play, among other. In parallel, there is also a growth of recreational and educational toys and equipment for scientific content market. Thus, in the present work, we intend to design an urban recreational equipment system for children that embraces music and its benefits in order to link knowledge to a recreational activity, facilitate learning and, at the same time, promoting exercise and social development. Being a practical dissertation, it will be applied a mixed methodology. First non-interventional of direct observation, gathering and organizing literature. In a second stage an interventional one through active interventional research, which consists in the designing of the system that will be confronted with different experts. The objective is to lead to the interaction with music contributing to a better relationship between children and knowledge and facilitating their learning. We hope to collaborate for a better knowledge in children equipment design area and create a system that can be marketed later.

Abstract:
There is an increasing awareness of the necessity to evaluate the effects of tennis equipment in combination with players and the corresponding need for new methods of testing to be developed. This research has investigated the effectiveness of a range of objective measurements of player performance and their ability to quantity the effects of equipment modification and player fatigue. The hypothesis of this research was that if different designs of tennis equipment affect a player differently in terms of either accelerated/reduced fatigue or increased/reduced likelihood of injury, then there must be some changes in either the impact dynamics in terms of shock loading and vibration transmission, or through kinematic changes in terms of swing motion and biomechanics. Furthermore, it was hypothesised that using state-of-the-art instrumentation technologies in conjunction with a controlled experimental protocol, it may be possible to measure some of these changes.

Abstract:
The Space Plug-and-play Interface Simulation Equipment (SPISE) box was developed by ÅAC to aid in the debugging of satellite modules. This report covers the analysis and conversion of this box to provide initial support for the Space Plug-and-play Avionics (SPA) set of protocols in a single Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). A major part of this conversion is the design of SPA-U support for which both a host and slave Universal Serial Bus 1.1 (USB 1.1) stack is needed. The comparison of methods to get this functionality and the final design of the Intellectual Property (IP) cores which are implemented in the Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Description Language (VHDL) language utilizing the freely available from OpenCores, USBHostSlave controller IP by Steve Fielding. The intended target hardware for this project is the reuse of the existing platform, an Actel A3P1000 FPGA containing one million gates. Described in this report are the necessary choices made to implement support for the SPA protocols within a limited time and budget while maintaining compatibility with the architecture of the SPISE box.

This thesis examines the play of children in three Melbourne primary school playgrounds, in diverse socio-economic areas. Play categories were developed and data was collected using qualitative methods. The influence of school policy, teacher supervision styles, playspace design and provision of play equipment was explored and compared for each school. The voices of principals, teachers and children, in conjunction with playground observations and questionnaire response were compiled in order to develop a clear picture of each school playground. Findings showed that children in each school participated in a full range of play categories and were prepared to break school rules in order to do so.

Abstract:
Bakgrund Idag spenderar barn mycket tid inomhus eller på schemalagda aktiviteter. I och med barns rättighet till ett hälsosamt liv har förskolan i uppgift att se till att barn får vara ute och där också få en positiv upplevelse av utomhusmiljön så att barnen som vuxna får en bra relation till naturen. Teori Studien utgår från teorier som åskådliggör positiva effekter av utomhusvistelse för barn. Lek i utomhusmiljö bidrar i hög grad till att utveckla motoriska och kognitiva färdigheter och väderväxlingar berikar barnens stimulans av olika sinnen. Teorier visar även att vatten är en stor källa till inspiration och experimentslust. Syfte Syftet är att undersöka hur tre förskolor i Stockholm använder sin förskolegård i nederbörd samt att studera hur redskap på gården är utformade för att kunna användas i nederbörd på hösten. Meningen är att studien ska ge inspiration till andra förskolor att se möjligheter i dagar med nederbörd. Metod Arbetet utgår från observationer på förskolor samt kvalitativa interjuver med en pedagog från varje förskola. Resultat Resultatet visar att redskap finns på alla gårdar men att de överlag inte är utformade speciellt för lek i nederbörd. Redskapen används alltid tillsammans med lösa föremål. Lösa föremål för att hälla och transportera används speciellt i lek med vatten, medan naturföremål används i rollekar under nederbörd. Pedagogernas förhållningssätt till utevistelse och barns lek påverkar hur och med vad barn leker. Ibland ordnas aktiviteter för barnen då det regnar eller snöar, men det anses vara lättare på sommarhalvåret då kombinationen väta och kyla på hösten bidrar till att barnen blir kalla och måste gå in. Terrängen ses inte som hinder vid nederbörd och avskilda platser används ofta av barnen för återhämtning. Markens möjlighet till vattenpölar uppskattas mycket av barnen.
Background Today, children spend much time indoors or on scheduled activities. On account of a child’s right to a healthy life the preschool is assigned to make sure that the children are allowed to be outdoors and to receive a positive experience of the outside environment, thus leading to a good relationship with nature as adults. Theoretical perspectives The study is based on theories that illustrate the positive effects children receive from being outdoors. Playing outdoors contributes greatly to a child’s physical development and the changes in weather enrich a child’s senses. Theories also show that water is a great source of inspiration. Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine how three preschools in  Stockholm use their playground and the equipment on it during wet weather in autumn. This study is supposed to inspire other preschools to discover the possibilities that wet weather offer. Methodology The study is based on observations and qualitative interviews with one  pedagogue from each participating preschool. Conclusion The study show that there are playground equipments on all playgrounds but that they generally are not specifically designed to be used during wet weather. The playground equipment is always used in conjunction with toys. The approach to play and to the outdoors by the pedagogue, affects with what the children play. On occasion, the preschools arrange activities during wet weather but it’s considered easier during the summer semester. The terrain is not considered as an obstacle during wet weather and secluded locations are often used by the children for recreation. The possibilities for puddles in the uneven terrain are very appreciated by the children.

Abstract:
Play can be beneficial and effective for children experiencing the stress, fears, and anxieties associated with illness or death by expressing their feelings into activity (Brown 2018). It can be difficult for children to verbally communicate complex emotions because they usually are unsure of what words to say to express their emotions. Therapeutic play is a great coping mechanism for coping with death because it allows children to express their emotions through play. Professionals working with children would be better equipped to meet children’s needs with a firmer understanding on the ways in which therapeutic play techniques can be incorporated into their practice. The impact therapeutic play makes can also be beneficial for families as it can help the families understand what the children comprehend which can lead to more efficient communication between members of the family. Professionals aim to assist children in reaching optimal outcomes, which in turn has beneficial impacts for the family overall.

Abstract:
Playing is the dominant activity in children's daily life, but is the playground still the place where children have their first encounter with societal roles, norms and values of today’s society, through the act of playing? The playground functions as the place where children are forced to educate themselves, in learning to develop, to make decisions, to solve problems, and to regulate emotions. They look for risks in order to test and explore their physical limits. In this research, I will be focusing on the existing playground in the street of my childhood home aiming to gain understanding as to whether or not the playground still fits the needs of children. Is there still space to discover the basic guidelines of social behaviour and finding out one's personal limits? Looking at today’s playground, I see an over-designed, completely protected, safe-in-the-grid play area which leaves no space for one’s own interpretation and imagination and is not at all a suitable space for testing out your own limits. The play objects are already placed in a concrete form and can only be used in one specific way, eliminating any space for personal initiative. I am curious about how these playground designs arose, and whether there is any kind of communication with children about their needs and desires in the context of play. Which parties decide where and how playgrounds are built in the urban landscape, and why playgrounds are not connected with their urban surroundings, but instead form separated and isolated entities. This detached space often does not meet the demands of the children, resulting in them abandoning the designated playing area, and finding play areas of their own, including streets and abandoned buildings or wastelands, sometimes close to traffic, where they chose to play instead. Making the playground as safe as possible by placing the different kind of play equipment behind a fence is actually resulting in its opposite safety in that the children are looking for a different kind of place to play freely. Aiming to answer these questions, I studied the work of Aldo van Eyck and Bruno Munari, both architects who worked on playgrounds and used primary shapes in urban architecture. I am also focussing on the work of Mariana Brussoni, who writes about the importance of the element of risk in playing, and how this affects a child’s development and social behaviour. For this research, I am working closely together with the municipality and NIJHA Playground Equipment Factory to get a better understanding of the origins of playgrounds. Adding to this research, I conducted many conversations with children from different cities and neighbourhoods, with the aim to find out what the perfect play area is for children and how that fits in the urban landscape, or more specifically, in my own street.

Abstract:
Under våren år 2013 har Emilia Andersson, en designingenjörsstudent på Högskolan i Skövde, utfört ett produktutvecklingsprojekt i samarbete med HAGS Aneby AB. Syftet med projektet var att utveckla en vippgunga vars storlek skulle vara anpassad för barn i åldrarna 1-3 år. Målet var att vippgungan ska kunna säljas över hela världen samt uppfylla den amerikanska standarden och europastandarden för lekredskap. Projektet inleddes med en förstudie och teori-fas, där bland annat litteraturstudie och konkurrentanalys genomfördes och annan information samlades in för att få djupare kunskaper inom ämnet. Därefter började idéer och koncept genereras, som sedan genomgick utvärderingar, så som användartester, vilket ledde till ett slutkoncept. Konceptet utvärderades med hjälp av bland annat hållfasthetsberäkningar och en antropometrisk analys. Den slutgiltiga vippgungan kan trots anpassningen för åldersgruppen, inte bara användas av 1-3-åringar utan också av äldre barn, tack vare att konstruktion och framförallt handtag ger extra lekvärden.
During the spring of 2013, Emilia Andersson, a student in product design engineering at University of Skövde, carried out a product development project in cooperation with HAGS Aneby AB. The aim of the project was to develop a seesaw adapted for children aged 1-3 years. The goal was to develop a seesaw that could be sold worldwide and meet the American standard and European standard for playground equipment. The project began with a pre study and a theory phase, which included literature review and competitor analysis and information were gathered to gain a deeper knowledge of the subject. Later on ideas and concepts were generated, which then through evaluations as user testing lead to a final concept. The concept was evaluated with for example strength calculations and an anthropometric analysis. The final seesaw can, despite adjustment for the age group, not only be use by 1-3-year-olds, but also by older children, this thanks to the design and the handles that provide extra play values.

Abstract:
AbstractCompared with Norwegian kindergartens that emphasize how outdoor activity benefits young children’s integrated development, Chinese kindergartens reluctantly encourage children to go outside for long time. A county named Anji in South China’s Zhejiang province has started to change this approach to outdoor play. Kindergartens there provide outdoor equipment to support children’s outdoor activities for longer periods of time. This approach is called Anji Play and has been recommended by Chinese Ministry of Education for all of the country. It has also attracted ECE experts overseas. In this chapter, we describe and analyse children’s outdoor play in an Anji setting and in a Norwegian kindergarten from the perspective of the utilisation and design of kindergarten outdoor space. The study takes an ethnographic approach. We collected photo observations, anecdotal recording and interviews from one kindergarten in Bergen, Norway and one in Anji, China. The observation results focusing on outdoor play in the two kindergartens were discussed with kindergarten teachers, principals, professors and college students from China and Norway. Our aim was to interpret the core concepts, goals and concerns of Norwegian and Anji play from multiple perspectives to understand children’s cultural formation in the two cultural contexts. We found the cultural values and traditions influence how outdoor play is performed and there are clear links between culture and children’s cultural formation.

Abstract:
Laboratorial teaching (Lab time) is very important during a four year learning for an engineering student. Innovative lab equipments play a part in the teaching. The goal of lab time is to offer students a insight into the basic theory of mechanism, to practice their ability of approaching a real machine. Display visually the phenomena of mechanical foundation is also another aim of the teaching phase. Traditional lab equipment is very limited in China. The typical teaching methodology is to show students the experimental result by a faculty adviser. Seldom do the students have the chance to involve in the experiments [1]. So the teaching results are not as good as expected. During the ten year reformation of the teaching method, authors developed a series of innovative laboratorial equipment, which are microcontroller embedded and connected to a computer. The list of the equipment includes: Typical Mechanical Motion, Gear Transmission, Belt Transmission, Chain Transmission, Dynamic Characteristic of Bolt Connection, Dynamic Characteristic of Machine, Balance of Cylinder, etc. With the help of that equipment, students can do their experiments by themselves now. They can gain enough “hands on” experience during the Lab time. Further more, all of the experimental results can be displayed in the computer in analytical format. It helps students to insight the mechanics that hide out in the physical phenomena. This paper describes the effort of author’s works. And results we got will be evaluated here.

In ASME 2013 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2013-66355.

Full text
Abstract:
Surface mining equipment play an important role in capital investments and operating costs of mining industry. Improvement of the equipment performance leads to improvement of operation cost. Efficient operation and maintenance techniques centered on reliability are the methods of choice. Recent researches promote the necessity of utilization of optimal maintenance methods instead of traditional methods. This study aims in application of optimal maintenance methods for reduction of occurrence of sudden failures and equipment break down. Evaluation of reliability-centered maintenance is demonstrated on mining dump trucks operation and maintenance are utilized for Sungun copper mine. The operation data is used to quantify the failure and maintenance profile for each component required for reliability analysis. The modeling is done by using reliability block diagram and solved by Monte Carlo simulation for assessment of the dynamic behavior of the equipment. The reliability of the system is evaluated and importance of each component is estimated. The importance analysis is used to identify the items which have critical impact on reliability and availability of overall equipment for prioritizing the decision for improvements. The reliability importance measure is computed for the components by weighted importance method. Trend analysis is conducted to select proper model for the maintenance profile. Availability estimations demonstrate overall performance of the equipment on its life span.

Lynch, John, and Frederick J. Moody. "Pressure Oscillations From Acoustic Standing Waves Interacting With Steam Flow Instability in Vessel Equipment and Piping." In ASME 2003 Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference. ASMEDC, 2003. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/pvp2003-1818.

Full text
Abstract:
The mechanism causing a fatigue failure of an in-vessel mechanical component has been identified through fundamental thermal-hydraulic analysis, and verified by experiments at several scales. It was found that pressure oscillations, caused by acoustic standing wave interaction with flow-instabilities, similar to vortex shedding, created the oscillatory driving force that initiated the failure. It was necessary to determine the dominant scaling laws in order to design scale models, which would result in time-dependent behavior that was representative of full size systems. The scaling laws showed, and it was confirmed experimentally, that room temperature air could be used in place of steam in small-scale testing, to provide representative behavior of the interactive acoustics and the flow instabilities. Tests of the scale models showed that minor changes in geometry and edge sharpness caused significant changes in the pressure oscillations at a given flow rate. It was also found that the piping configuration attached to a vessel may significantly alter acoustic pressure oscillations within the vessel. The study of interactive acoustic and flow instability phenomena in small scale models makes it possible to study the effect of parameter changes on the magnitude of thermal-hydraulic forces, which can play a role in fatigue failures.

Abstract:
Due to the huge significance of climatic changes in various fields, weather forecasting and monitoring play a big role in the day to day life. These atmospheric changes like temperature, pressure, and humidity are critical elements to be checked regularly as they can help to either plan activities like agriculture, the likelihood of rain, or they can warn and protect human life from the serious issues that can happen including floods and extreme heat. There are numerous instruments and online applications that can monitor and give weather forecasting information, yet these methods do not provide accurate weather readings at a local area but instead, they give readings of the nearby station where they receive the information. This paper gives an outstanding solution of monitoring weather conditions accurately at a local area, by utilization of electronic sensors and equipment like DHT11 [3] for sensing of the data and display those on the LCD screen.
