Only poisonous if implanted and something starts infection or gets in your blood ,and as for the high voltage sign ,not really high voltage but I wanted to add more signs. Example the biohazard but only the obvious ones apply.

I tried to find specific disclaimers for certain things such as causing one harm, or a product not functioning properly, or reading inaccurate data, and failed.

YOUTUBE-Designing light bulbs to fail sooner
Starts off with customer trying to fix a printer but it will cost triple instead of just buying a new one. Planned obsolescence is where products are designed to fail at a certain point so you have to buy more.
Shows the light bulb was in Livermore fire department has been burning since 1901, and when they discovered started paying attention to it. Through it a birthday party for the light bulb with 900 people. Begins where the bulb came from the ladies putting it together Adolf invented his filament to last long. Begins a discussion of the lightbulb conspiracy and what companies were in on it and how they divided up the areas to sell and how many hours the light bulbs were allowed to last. How patents for for light bulbs to last longer were not allowed. How members of cartel were fined if they lasted too long.

The idea of this cartel is still present. Now they are relating this back to the ink jet printer, and how it uses ink to clean the heads then once the sponge gets full it decides to quit working and is designed to fail. Goes through the idea of how all this began with individuals making something newer and newer all the time. London says we should have planned obsolescence where there would always be a market for new good thus always job. However, his idea was ignored. Now in 1950's marketing created planned obsolescence Stephens said the consumer would push for something new although it wasn't needed. Approach was to make a American unhappy with the older product. Students are taught to design for business for frequent purchases. Chemists invents ever lasting thread how everyone gets upset workers for fear of job.How designer would set a life span Dupont made nylon stockings that lasted too long. They tried to make them where they would fail sooner. How the engineers felt about making a inferior product. While ink jet printers are designed to fail at a certain point using a chip. How planned obsolescence didn't occur in Germany in Communists economy how the fridges lasted 25 years. 1981 German company created a life long light bulb, and took it to a fair to see if westerners would buy it.

Consumers start to fight back with the internet and how the first movie is about Apple got sued for having the battery in the ipod only last 18 months, and tried to make people buy new ipods. How the scraps all go to third world countries and pollute and it is terrible and causing trash. The russian website to fight ink jet printers is also available to fight back against planned obsolescence. Phillips 25 year LED is discussed. Nature is also discussed as to how it produces abundantly but also uses the waste to be efficient.

The current situation is terrible, I think planned obsolescence is bad but I see how it can produce economic growth. I think it is terrible that too much goes to waste. We live on a finite planet and we will run out of resources and places to put trash. However, planned obsolescence with people wanting to buy newer and newer stuff isn't bad, they need self-control, but if they are planned to die 18 months later I think that is wrong.

The Design of Design
184-Part of compendium chart Brooks used for house wing design
185-Representing Designs' Trajectories and Rationales quote from Wilkes
186-Introduction is about how he and his friend took his log from designing his new wing and documenting it.
187- Tells how to linearize knowledge and how it isn't really practical but uses a book as an example as to how to get it done, also showing the library's method and wikipedias'.
188-Brooks and his friend's attempt to create a design trajectory using a design tree, but failed. Then he dives into their process of studying the house design process.
189-Their experience finding the transcription scheme and why they struggled so much was because they didn't have a rigorous definition for their design tree
190- Discussion of each design node and how it is related to the others and sorting of different parts of design process.
191-Note of the house wing as design problems, and discussion of the errors encountered in designing the wing.
192- Discussion of design alternatives and how they are not easily realized, and how further discussion of how he changed the tree as the designs changed through the process.
193- Further discussion of how they changed the design tree as the design changed as the process continued, begins tree of decisions versus of designs.
194- Tree of designs is  larger, so large in fact it is not practical in design process, but the concept is important. Begins how modular design differs and are easily represented as design trees.
195- Discussion of software tools to analyze a design decision tree, Task architect.
196- Project Mang Tools PERT, IBIS fit very well and Compendium had lots of advantages.
197-Although compendium has advantages it cannot be recommended for design, and relates to CAD and gIBIS and how they are all too precise to have a creative flow.
198-Dred is discussed, brief history of why it was designed who designed it, and who uses it and how it works.
199- Finishes with further information of Dred and how it is useful, but is not available, Notes and Ref
200- Notes and Ref

Patent- US  7078666

This is exactly what we are attempting to do transmit power wirelessly and data back. However, they are using a light as the power source with photodetectors to convert it to current and charge whatever they will try to power and send it back using the same principle  Issued Jul18, 2006. This is a pretty neat idea its fulfills the same goal as our project but by light is pretty cool we thought about doing that but felt more comfortable with inductance and that we would be able to more power across using inductors.
