The auto-balancing characteristic of the Hovertrax should help the riders stay balanced. The hovertrax can travel up to 5 miles (8 km) and/or 30 minutes on a charge, reaching speeds of up to 5 mph. It only take about an hour to charge the lithium-ion battery from a standard wall outlet. Halim, T. (2011). A Hovertrax: The Greatest Innovation. Journal of Engineering and Human, 3(1), 42-50.

Possible answer and keywords; The Hovertrax is able to assist riders to stay adjust. It also can go up to 5 miles (8 km) and/or half hour, speeds of up to 5 mph after its lithium-particle battery has been charged for an hour (Halim, 2011). * The above are sample paraphrases, do accept any others relevant answers.

Description

Justifying purposes/ objectives (1 element) Reviewing scope/ method (1 element)

The aim of this report was to recognise the current state of the computer environment and usage, which included the ergonomic viewpoint.

Implication (1 element)

Now that the amount of computer time at home and school is sure to keep increasing, the important thing is to use the equipment in a welldesigned environment, accustomed to human behaviour, physiology and psychological features, in order to maintain users’ health. It is a matter of urgency that we develop new guidelines based on attention given to the physique and physiology of pupils and student.

A questionnaire was sent out to 100 elementary schools selected randomly in Yokohama and Kawasaki Cities, from January to March 1998 regarding the use of personal computers by pupils and students. The survey included the questions that asked how often and in what environment computers are used, whether any instructions are given as to their use, children’s working posture, and the effect on health. Reviewing findings The results show that most schools are slow to develop instructive (1 element) programs from the environmental or ergonomic point of view. Explaining So far there are not many children who complain of any serious Findings symptoms such as pain in the neck, head or shoulders, but a future (1 element) increase in the number of classes which involve computing, as well as the widespread popularity of home computers, will surely arouse a legitimate concern about the health of pupils and students, since they will spend more and more time operating the devices Discussing Due to the logistic and manageability factors, the respondents were limitation randomly selected from Yokohama and Kawasaki Cities only. (1 element) Therefore, there is still a question on whether similar results will be obtained with respondents from other cities.

OR Spare compressors are used for improving the flexibility of the plants and avoiding unsatisfied production deliveries. 6. There is a need for decisions which minimize operational costs and increase the lifetime of the compressors and their motors. 7. The maintenance of a compressor involves several actions such as bearing repairs, coupling and gear box maintenance, and sealings inspection. 8. The result of the fouling is a decrease in performance and an increase in power consumption for the same load. 9. The literature from one side examines the maintenance of a single compressor, and on the other side examines the optimization of the operation of networks. 10. Agriculture helps to preserve biological diversity, provides elements to the flue gas capture, and contributes to enhance the landscape.
