Yining Gao’s Plush Night Light Proposal

Prototype

Draft

User & Story

I am going to make a negi (Allium fistulosum?), and it leaves will light. I want to make a big light negi for Hatsune miku’s fans, so that they can wave it as a support stick in the miku 10th anniversary!

Hateune miku is related to the scallion because of the song Loituma Girl. Someone made a flash video for this song that miku wave a negi.

Apple watch series 6 Teardown

Apple watch series 6 44mm, featuring a revolutionary Blood Oxygen sensor and app.

1. The reason I choose it

I am very interested in the apple products for a long time and I think apple watch is very small but it has a lot of functions so that I really want to know what make it like this.

2. Tools

Screwdrivers (especially with screwdriver bit Y0.6), tweezer, blades

3. The process

I. Separating screen and base plate.

II. Removing all screws and take out all components.

III. Seperating the base plate into chip modules and sensor modules

I think the whole structure is glued together and the internal precision structure is connected by screws.

4. Components

The main components in the things I teardown:

Thermal film, wires, microphone, x-axis taptic engine, A2327 battery in 303.8mAh, loudspeaker, gps antenna, SiP, back base plate, screen

I have not teardown in the back base plate:

charging coils, blood oxygen sensors(The Blood Oxygen sensor employs LEDs, along with photodiodes on the back crystal of Apple Watch S6) and heart rate sensors, S6 chip System in Package (SiP), etc.

Something about components:

  1. 100% recycledaluminum case
  2. Arsenic free glass
  3. a sapphire crystaldisplay
  4. S6 SiP with 64-bit dual-core processor based on the A13 Bionic chip, W3 Apple wireless chip, U1 chip (Ultra Wideband)

5. My thoughts

  • Apple watch uses some kinds of special screws so we have to go to the apple repair center or find special tools to fix it. And also the combination of screen and structure is glue which means when you separate the screen it is very easy to damage it. I think apple really really want you to go to their store and spend lots of money to repair your products.
  • The taptic engine in this watch is relatively large. I think it can give user a very good vibration experience.

Hi! I am Elaine Gao🫡

你好！Hello! I am Yining Gao and you can call me Elaine! I come from Shenzhen, a city in south China without any specialty.😪

I had my undergraduate courses in South China University of Technology, and I majored in industrial design. But the courses there are too technical and without any atmosphere of design, so I came here to continue my study. I also minored in computer science but after studying I hate code.🥲( Just because I am not good at it)

I had an internship in a company which design and sell oral care products. And I worked as a CMF designer there. I think it is really interesting to choose color and style for a product after the research and contact with manufacturers. But I think I am lack of pratical design experience so that I hope that I can learn a lot from everyone!
