workSafe: New RSI Prevention Software
Bournemouth, UK (ContentDesk) February 15, 2004--The software monitors work patterns and decides when a break from repetitive keyboard or mouse action is required.
Calculations tuned to the human body measure strain, based on current and previous computer usage. Whilst clever underneath, the software is simple to use, with only three slider settings to be set by each user.During enforced breaks at the computer, workSafe shows exercise movies with descriptive text to ease physical and mental strain. A variety of ?safeTips' appear on-screen when the user becomes under keyboard/mouse pressure, giving many ergonomic suggestions.Binary Logic has modelled current medical opinions to a real-time analysis engine within the software creating a "measure" of human strain.Research shows that with well chosen recovery time, the algorithm is remarkably efficient at tracking your recovery during rest periods. This is where workSafe supersedes time-out based systems currently on the market as it can accurately register recovery during many short and long breaks.Richness and versatility of settings accommodates all members of the computer workforce within the company's Health and Safety Agreement.
Breaks and other events are time and date stamped in the system's Event Log. Health and Safety managers can also set the system to receive related automated reports from users. workSafe is multi-lingual, currently in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian.Compatible with Microsoft? Windows? 98, Me, 2000, NT4, XP and 2003.workSafe website: http://www.binarylogicgroup.com/workSafe/.
Planning to build a computer desk.
Much like any other piece of furniture, selecting computer desk plans requires a little bit of fore thought. There are a number of questions that you need to ask yourself before committing to a design. This will save some disappointment after the project is complete. Consider these 10 points before getting started. 1.

It is possible to have power points right at your desk if there are computer components that are only used occasionally.2. Use a species of wood that is going to be able to resist the heavy weight of the computer components. A hardwood species such as Oak or Maple will provide the strength needed to resist these forces.3. Using the right species of wood will resist the weight of the computer components but the joinery used should also provide the maximum gluing surface area and thus the maximum strength.
Joints like dado's for the carcase, dovetails or finger...
