Kiosk Stand Cooling System

For a while now, we have noticed that the Surface Pro inside the kiosk stand had its internal cooling fan running all day long at full power, and it eventulally killed our beloved tablet ;(

The cause of this was the enclosure of the tablet inside the stand, not being able to cool itself down with fresh air. After looking through the thermal images we took of the kiosk stand with a new tablet inside, we found that the hottest place was the top right corner of the tablet, where its internal fan was located. So we drilled some holes in the back of the Kiosk Stand and screwed on a 5V computer fan, getting power from the tablet.

So far, the fan is working great at keeping the Kiosk Stand cool and most importantly, the internal fan of the Surface Pro hasn't run as hard ever since.

Beyerdynamic T5p Cable Replacement Solution

We decided to add MMCX female connectors to our T5p headphones to allow for easy cable replacement / upgrade with any MMCX male cables. First, remove the original cables. MMCX female connectors I got these connectors in Japan, but I was able to find them on Google too. Push in the connector into the 3D printed parts. You can download the files for the parts we 3D printed here . The parts were a perfect fit when printed on our 3D printer, but it may defer depending on the 3D printer. Then I cut the original cable to create two short cables and soldered them onto the connectors. The middle prong is for the red wire, and then as for the outside prongs, you can pick one for the ground. After they're connected, you can secure them in place with some hot glue. In the picture below, the cover parts are put on, but those can not be on when you insert the part into the headphones in the next step. Then insert this part from the outs...

介護の取り組み　遠隔コントロールの実験 Approaches to Caregiving—Experimenting with Remote Control　遠隔でサポートするには電話だけではできないことが増えてきます。まるで隣に座ってココだよと指でしめしてあげる感覚を実現したいと思って研究しています。 To provide remote support for the elderly, it's becoming increasingly challenging to rely solely on phone calls. I'm researching ways to recreate the feeling of sitting right beside someone, gesturing and saying, 'I'm right here,' as if physically present. 最終形としてはぬいぐるみにカメラとレーザーポインターを持たせ年配者の方は家にPCを置きたくないかもしれないので、ぬいぐるみ（他の何でも良いのですが）家に置いてもらえるような介護デバイスを開発したいと思っています。 As a final form, a stuffed animal is equipped with a camera and a laser pointer.
