Battery Operated Toothbrushes – Top 3 Design Faults

Edit Article |

]]>

A lot of people prefer to use battery operated toothbrushes because they allow you to brush your teeth without having the trouble of missing out and bits. What I mean by this is that if you use a manual toothbrush then it is on you to make sure your clean your whole set of teeth to an acceptable level. Using the electric toothbrush this is easier to achieve because the high intensity rotation ensure that the brushes get to the hardest to reach places.

Battery operated toothbrushes design faults

These electrical products do however have design faults that leave room for improvement. My top 3 design faults are listed below:

1. The heads are usually not compatible with those of other brands. This means when you buy new toothbrush heads you will have to buy from the same brands as the thing is made by. This is a problem because it does not give you much choice and if the heads are expensive then you can end up paying a lot of money for the heads per year to the level where the actual price of the original device will look cheap.

2. Another problem is that they are too big or at least bigger than they need to be. This is because they need to fit in two AA batteries. In my eyes this problem can be overcome by using more modern technology which uses small rechargeable batteries. This does need some research and development however because the AA batteries have a reputation for providing a very consistent energy stream whereas micro rechargeable batteries are more prone to faults.

3. Heads should be more customizable so that the consumer has a large choice. So if someone wants a smooth battery operated toothbrush or a stiff one then they should be able to get what they want. What usually happens is because of the compatibility brush heads problem there is limited choice. This usually happens with the Braun and Sonicare brands.

intelligent design, or just stupid muddle?

by tanakawho

Question by synopsis: intelligent design, or just stupid muddle?

if you discount the reliability of carbon dating (as you must do for creationist positions to make any sense at all) then the only real objection to the turin shroud disappears.

if creation science prove anything at all, it proves that the turin shroud is genuine, and that the roman catholic church is the one true church.

http://www.shroud.com/homespan.htm

so why aren’t all creation scientists roman catholics? (apart from the fact that the catholic church won’t admit them that is).

it wouldn’t be because they are too confused / insincere / dishonest to work out the full implication of their own position – would it?
i see we have some very confused historians here.

the main evidence for the authenticity of the shroud would be that it shows a body crucified by being nailed through the wrists. the medieval tradition always showed the nails piercing the palms, it was not discovered until the middle of the last century that this cannot work.

crucifixion by piercing through the wrists was unknown to the middle ages. if the cloth is not genuine, did the artist have divine inspiration?

Q&A: Can a person w/ a degree in Graphic Design get a job in Illustration and visa versa?

by Adam Mulligan

Question by forlornhope638: Can a person w/ a degree in Graphic Design get a job in Illustration and visa versa?

I know, I know, this is a stupid question. I’m just torn between whether I should get a degree in Graphic Design or Illustration as I’m equally passionate in both. Right now I’m majoring in graphic design and lovin’ it but what if I graduate and want to to do illustrating for a bit? Would I be screwed?

Best answer:

Answer by jplatt39
If you have a good portfolio you will not be screwed. If you are comfortable doing academic drawing I do recommend as many courses in it as you can, but cartoonists like Chip Wass and J. D. King do a lot of high-paying jobs which rely far more on design skills than they do academic drawing. I would definitely say try to show your drawings to your teachers and see what they think you do best. It is also time to work on your portfolio right now — go to Staples and get a good presentation portfolio to mount your samples in — and try to include both your best drawing and your best assignments (I am saying that even if you are in your first year — the time to start work on your portfolio was really fourteen but it’s not too late). Only take academic drawing if you want to. It is really important that the drawings you select for your portfolio are the drawings you want to do — with themes and images you are comfortable with, unless you have actually sold a drawing you are not as comfortable with as happens. Chances are, in either field, you will have to work 2 or more jobs to pay the bills at some point. You may as well try to arrange to get jobs you think are fun doing.

Do Walk in Bathtubs Have Design Flaws?

Not all walk-in bathtubs are created equal. Without realizing it many walk in bathtub manufacturers have created their products with design flaws. Purchasers need to be aware of those design flaws.

Step in height

This is a safety issue. Most walk in bath tubs have a high step into the tub of 6 to 7 inches. This height is actually dangerous for people with limited mobility. The reason they buy a walk in bathtub is because they can’t climb stairs or take large steps. Remember the purpose of the walk in bathtub is making bathing possible for those who cannot get in or out of a regular bathtub.

Tile Flange

A tile flange is the lip that extends above the bath tub by about an inch and a half. This allows the finishing material (tile, tub surround, etc) to hang over the lip to protect the drywall backing from getting wet and deteriorating. Most building codes require a tile flange. Many walk in bathtub manufacturers have neglected to add a tile flange to their bathtubs.

Bathtub size

Bigger is not always better. While manufacturers’ attempt to impress would-be purchasers by the size of their bathtubs, there are two things to keep in mind. If you are putting your bathtub in an existing bathroom it needs to fit, not only in the bathroom, but through the door. Secondly, the larger the size, the more water the bathtub will hold, making for a longer fill and drain time. Some people think that they want a bathtub where they can be immersed in water. That’s a great idea; but think how long it would take to fill and drain that tub while you sit inside waiting – that’s why such a bathtub does not exist. Remember too that when sitting in a traditional bathtub, your body is never immersed so why would you expect it to be in a walk in bathtub.

How exactly is challenging Intelligent Design by pointing out a flaw in human biology deserving of a violation?

Question by Nero T. Pickle: How exactly is challenging Intelligent Design by pointing out a flaw in human biology deserving of a violation?

I recently received a violation for asking why the human body cannot produce its own vitamin C if Intelligent Design is true.

This site would honestly be in far better shape if it just suspended all these worthless, stupid *** report monkeys, and a pineapple would honestly make a better moderator than what we have now.

Answer by Bryan
Lots of people can draw very nicely. They don’t even need to go to college to get better and find (low paying) work.

I think maybe you should look at doing something that not everyone can do, as you are more likely to be able to get a job paying decent money doing that.

I think your dad may be right on this one.
