Systematic packaging design tools integrating functional and environmental consequences on product life cycle: Case studies on laundry detergent and milk

This study presents systematic packaging design tools integrating functional and environmental consequences on product life cycle. To design packaging for sustainability, the trade-offs between functional and environmental aspects of packaging throughout the product life cycle should be considered. However, it is difficult for packaging designers to understand the overall trade-offs because the extent of the design consequences on the entire life cycle of packaging and its contents is unclear. We developed two tools for packaging design: the Life Cycle Association Matrix (LCAM) and the Function Network Diagram (FND). The following three steps, based on literature reviews and interviews with industrial experts, were applied. Firstly, we listed the product functions and design variables related to the functions as the attributes allocated to the product life cycle. Secondly, the attributes were connected appropriately based on causal relationships. Lastly, we identified the factors to support decision making in the packaging design procedure. As a result, the LCAM depicts the design consequences on the life cycle, and the FND determines the stakeholders affected by the design consequences. Two case studies were demonstrated to analyze the trade-offs by using our tools. In the case studies, a liquid laundry detergent bottle and a milk carton were redesigned. The tools identified the design consequences and stakeholders affected by the redesign of the usability and protective function for the detergent and milk cases, respectively. The results showed the significance of understanding the design consequences on the product life cycle by integrating the functional and environmental aspects.

A Class of Band-limited Chip Waveforms for DS-CDMA Systems

The conventional frequency domain square-root raised cosine （Nyquist） chip waveform has much poorer anti-multiple-access-interference （anti-MAI） capability than the optimal band-limited waveform in direct sequence code division multiple access （DS-CDMA） systems. However, the digital implementation of the optimal chip pulse is very costly due to the slow decaying rate of the time waveform. In addition, its eye diagram and envelope uniformity arc worse than those of the Nyquist pulse for a wide range of roll-off factors, which will incur performance degradation due to timing jitters and post non-linear processing. In this paper, based on an elementary density function of a second order polynomial, a class of second order continuous pulses is proposed. From this class of pulses, we ban find some members have faster decaying rate, bigger eye opening, more uniform envdope and stronger anti-MAI capability than the Nyquist waveform. The normalized-bandwidth-pulse-shape-factor product, the decaying rate of the tail of the time waveform, the opening of the eye diagram and the envelope uniformity of the second order continuous pulses are addressed in this paper which provides the basic information for the selection of the chip pulse for CDMA systems.

Examining joint loading and self-reported exertion and discomfort during ladder handling

Ladder handling by telecommunications technicians represents an indispensable part of their daily work, but may generate musculoskeletal injury risk. These workers have a high prevalence of shoulder and back injuries, motivating research to quantify postures and loading using different ladders during common handling tasks. Twenty-five participants completed carry, raise (against a wall or free standing), and simulated removal from a van roof tasks using three ladders (8.5m 2-piece wood; 8.5m 2-piece fibreglass, 9.2m 3-piece wood). Data collection included kinematics and kinetics during these ladder handling tasks, as well as perceived discomfort, perceived exertion and post-collection ladder and task preferences. Significant effects depended on task and ladder. Dominant arm (the arm completing the primary action) elevation was higher while extending the ladder (114.7 ± 3.4°) than the carry task (53.5 ± 3.5°) (p < 0.05). Joint moments in the dominant shoulder and trunk were highest for the 2-piece wood ladder (59.0 ± 2.2 Nm and 254.8 ± 8.8 Nm) averaged across all tasks. Joint forces were increased when using the 2-piece wood ladder compared to the 3-piece wood ladder (p < 0.05), while the greatest discomfort in the shoulders occurred using the 2-piece wood ladder in the carry task. Many tasks approached or exceeded strength capability of a 50th percentile male's predicted strength. While no ladder universally mitigated physical demands while lowering perceptual difficulty, construction differences yielded trends toward preferring the 2-piece fibreglass or 3-piece wood ladders over the 2-piece wood ladder. This work has direct relevance to workplaces with ladder handling and provides recommendations for ladder selection and strength requirements across tasks.
