- W2887783029 abstract "Braille labels are a simple technology that canenable people with blindness to independently identify objects andspaces in their workplaces, homes and schools. For childrenlearning to read and write, braille labels on their toys andobjects in the home and at school could catalyze learning byhelping them to associate written words with physical objects. Foran adult, identifying objects such as file folders, boxes, andmedications is a functional skill essential in the workplace.Labels on these objects leads to an increase in daily efficiency.Yet, even though braille labels present the potential for increasedindependence and efficiency in the lives of people with blindness,there is no label maker on the market that meets the requirementsof users. The goal of this thesis is to design a precise,affordable, language independent, personal braille label maker as atool for the blind. The work presented couples methods andtools from both deterministic design and human centered designphilosophies. This integrated methodology drove the final design tomeet both the precision and human requirements. The two mostcritical modules in the device are the braille dot embossingflexures and the braille cell indexing ratchet, which both requireprecision to meet international braille dot standards for thegeometry and spacing. This device is designed to address the needsof Indian users as a beachhead market because of their desire forindependence and employment. Furthermore, an educational focus onbraille literacy for people with blindness in India motivates theuse of this device. The result of this thesis is a braille labelmaking device with precision alignment between the embossing punchand die and indexing of 6.2 mm, that creates durable braille labelson Scotch MagicTM Tape. The device form factor allows users toindependently emboss each of the six dots so that labels can bewritten in any of the 133 braille languages that exist worldwide.Comprised of only six parts, the entire device is injectionmoldable out of ABS plastic, which lowers both the variable andfixed costs of part production and mold tooling." @default.
