The project consisted of developing an office workstation specially designed to compete at the Spanish market. The assignment was received from the Daifuku Designs, a design company in Barcelona, Spain. Daifuku Designs are well experienced in various kinds of product and interior design, but has not designed office furniture earlier. The project’s purpose was to introduce the company to the branch of office furniture. The research phase consisted in three different parts, a survey concerning office work that was handed out to Swedish and Spanish office workers and cleaning staff, studies of the world leading companies in the branch of office furniture and educational visits at different showrooms and offices. The project resulted in a desk that is offering a flexible space dividing system and a unique cord solution. The space dividers can be put anywhere along the desktop and are easily moved by hand. All the cords and cables are hidden in the desk and computers, phones, e.g. can be installed anywhere on the desk. The desk can be used both separately and in big office landscape. Flexibility is a common sales argument and the demand of this kind of flexibility is constantly growing. The trends to hire personnel and to work in temporary project groups are two reasons to the growing demand. The office furniture needs to be able to be used in different ways when the constellation of the project group is changing. It is a big advantage if the same desks can be used for different occasions. / Projektet bestod av att utveckla ett kontorsskrivbord, designat för att marknadsföras på den spanska marknaden. Uppdragsgivare var Daifuku Designs, ett designföretag i Barcelona, Spanien. Daifuku Designs har stor erfarenhet i olika sorters produkt- och inredningsdesign men har ej designat kontorsmöbler tidigare. Projektets syfte var att introducera företaget på kontorsmöbelmarknaden. Researchfasen bestod av tre olika delar, en enkät om kontorsarbete som gavs ut till svenska och spanska kontorsarbetare samt städpersonal, studier av världsledande företag inom kontorsmöbelindustrin samt studiebesök på olika showrooms och kontor. Projektet resulterade i ett skrivbord som erbjuder ett flexibelt avskärmningssystem samt en unik sladdlösning. Avskärmningarna kan sättas vart som helst längs skrivbordet samt kan lätt flyttas för hand. Alla sladdar och kabeldosor är gömda i skrivbordet och datorer, telefoner, etc. kan installeras vartsomhelst på skrivbordet. Skrivbordet kan användas separat så väl som i ett större kontorslandskap. Flexibilitet är ett vanligt säljargument, behovet av denna typ av flexibilitet växer hela tiden. Trenden att hyra in personal samt att jobba i projektgrupper är två anledningar till det växande behovet. Kontorsmöbeln måste kunna användas i många olika grupperingar när konstellationen i projektgruppen förändras. Det är en stor fördel om skrivbordet kan användas för många olika tillfällen.

A situação é agravada ao considerar o fato das ambulâncias se locomoverem em altas velocidades e necessitarem frequentemente reduzi-las de modo abrupto. Neste cenário, buscou-se projetar, construir e testar um protótipo de maca com um sistema de retenção eficaz para transportes emergenciais de crianças. O diferencial do projeto em relação às outras macas infantis, existentes no mercado internacional, está na versatilidade de realizar transportes tanto em ambulâncias quanto em áreas de resgate de difícil acesso veicular. O projeto de maca infantil possibilita atender uma ampla gama de pacientes de pequeno porte desde crianças na faixa etária de 1 (um) ano até 10 (dez) anos de idade. Trata-se de uma maca desenvolvida para rápido manuseio e armazenagem por ser dobrável e de fácil instalação sobre qualquer maca de adulto normatizada pela ABNT. O principal fator de segurança está vinculado ao sistema de retenção regulável, com facilidade de rápida fixação e remoção da criança. Foram realizados testes de impacto, com velocidade aproximada de 18 (dezoito) km/h, utilizando a maca de adulto e a maca infantil. O manequim com massa de 22 kg, representativo de uma criança de 6 (seis) anos de idade, foi instalado nas posições sentado e deitado. Os dados coletados, via um programa computacional Kinovea adequado para análise de biomecânica, permitiram estimar o deslocamento do manequim com grande precisão. Utilizou-se um aplicativo instalado em um celular com sistema operacional Android para registrar as desacelerações ocorridas no momento do impacto. A maca infantil apresentou uma retenção significativamente superior à obtida com a maca de adulto, tanto no deslocamento da cabeça quanto do tronco do manequim. Na posição deitado, o manequim chegou a ser ejetado para fora da maca, o que nunca ocorreu utilizando a maca infantil. Os testes realizados com o protótipo da maca validaram o projeto e a solução construtiva que estão vinculados a uma patente a ser depositada no Brasil / Abstract: In transportation, for ambulances, children are exposed to fatal risks by transported in adult gurneys that are not adapted to child anthropometry. The situation is escalated when considering the fact that the ambulances move up in high speeds and with frequently need to reduce abruptly velocity. In this field, we tried to design, build and test a prototype gurney with an effective restraint system for emergency transport children. The differential of the project regards to other children gurneys that exist in the international market; its versatility to perform both transport in ambulances and possible land rescue. Child gurney enables a wide range of small patients from children with one (1) until ten (10) years old, designed for fast handling and storage by be foldable and easy to install on any adult gurney standardized by ABNT. The main safety factor is linked to the adjustable retention system with facility for rapid attachment and the child's removal. Impact tests were performed, with an approximate speed of 18 (twenty) km / h, using the adult gurney and child gurney. The dummy with mass 22 kg, representing a child with 6 (six) years old, was installed in sitting and lying positions. Data collected via a computer program Kinovea suitable for biomechanical analysis, allowed to estimate displacement of the dummy with great precision. It was used a smartphone based on Android operational system to register decelerations occurred on impact. Child gurney had a higher retention regarding to adult gurney both the displacement of the head when the dummy torso restraint. In two teste with lying position, the dummy was ejected out of the gurney, fact that had never happened with child gurney. Tests conducted with the prototype gurney validated the project and the constructive solution that are bind to a patent to will be implanted in Brazil / Mestrado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica
