The Personal Data Store (PDS), herein referred to as the Backpack, was proposed as an opportunity to improve the experience of accessing services and enabling integrated and person-centred care. The project explored the potential solution developed by the project partners: Mydex CIC, a community interest company who specialise in personal data management, together with NHS Grampian and Moray Social Health and Care Partnership. 
\n
\nThe overall aims of the research project were to explore how people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) would like to manage their personal information in order to improve the experience of accessing services, and understand the potential of the Backpack to support health and care professionals to deliver more integrated and person-centred care. 
\n
\nTo meet these aims, design researchers at The Glasgow School of Art led a participatory design process with people living with MS and health and social care professionals. People living with MS were identified as highly knowledgeable co-design participants, due to the complex and progressive nature of the condition, requiring wide-ranging interactions with statutory services. 
\n
\nParticipants living with MS were involved in a Mini-Lab to explore current experiences of accessing services and managing information and an Experience Lab, which used design-led activities to map key moments of data sharing and developed paper-based prototypes of the Backpack. 
\n
\nA second Experience Lab involved health and social care professionals in testing prototypes of the Backpack, identifying user requirements from the perspective of service providers, and understanding how access to person-owned data stores would change current working practices.
\n
\nAnalysis of the conversations, maps and prototypes led to: i) a wealth of insight about the current experience and challenges of service users and providers; ii) the identification of a set of overall principles to shape the development of the person-owned data store; iii) synthesis of the main ideas for functionality as four overarching but complementary concepts that describe how the Backpack could manifest; and iv) a number of scenarios of use to describe how the principles and concepts could support person-centred and convenient access to services.

Backpack cooler

McCartan, Kaci, Lee, Daniel, O'Brien, Connor et al. · Scholar Commons (Santa Clara University) · 2015

The goal of this project was to design and build a portable Backpack Cooler for developing areas using thermoelectric modules as the cooling mechanism and solar panels as the home charging mechanism. When in use outside the home, the Backpack Cooler will run on a 12V battery. This cooler will allow off-grid consumers to preserve perishable food items, decreasing the likelihood of consuming spoiled food. This design project involved the analysis of the thermal resistance of the insulation, the testing of the thermoelectric modules with a heat pipe and heat sink, the creation of a temperature controller to ensure that the cooler remains at the proper cooling temperature range of 1.5-4°C, and the analysis of the power system in order to effectively power the thermoelectric modules. Three different prototypes were created and tested, and we were able to achieve the desired temperature range with as little as 34W of power. Through testing, the number and location of the internal heat sinks greatly affected the power consumption and cooling performance of the Backpack Cooler. In the future, custom heat sinks and insulation materials with a lower thermal conductivity could better improve the performance.

Goethe's Backpack

Roberto Dainotto · SubStance · 2004

Goethe's Backpack Roberto M. Dainotto (bio) Overload. noun. a. An excessive load or burden; too great a load. The civilized man... has got a fine Geneva watch, but he has lost the skill to tell the hour by the sun. A Greenwich nautical almanac he has, and so being sure of the information when he wants it, the man in the street does not know a star in the sky. The solstice he does not observe; the equinox he knows as little; and the whole bright calendar of the year is without a dial in his mind. His note-books impair his memory: his libraries overload his wit... —Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Self-Reliance" The peasants at the Italian border, who saw him coming one sunny day of 1679, might have taken it for an understatement. But for John Cecil, Fifth Count of Exeter, it was simply "my luggage": seven coaches, 80 suitcases, one wife, little heir John aged five, two tutors, two bodyguards, a chaplain, five maids, 14 waiters, and around 30 horses well curried and fed (Pagano de Divitiis 127). If such procession was meant "not so much as a safety precaution, but as ostentatious display of the traveler's social standing and wealth" (De Seta 33), the message for those Italian peasants must have then been loud and clear: the count was a wannabe, a social climber still far from the elevated condition of the famous Bishop of Bamberg, who, pastoral humilities aside, "had brought from Germany, at his following, one hundred and thirty servants; throughout Italy, he had then collected fifty more" (Maczak 120). Accustomed to such images of touristy showiness, a following generation of peasants, sitting slothfully at the same Italian border, was, quite obviously, unable to fit the 37-year-old stranger, so "unprepared and alone" (Goethe, Journey 123), into their preconceived image of "The Tourist": they "looked me over," Johann Wolfgang von Goethe recounts, and "showed some signs of indignation" (ibid., 44). The historical sympathy between the middle and the rural classes, which had so proudly been accomplished by a young Werther on vacation in the countryside,1 was not working, for some reasons, in Italy as well: "I can boast of being, like yourself, the citizen of a republic" (46), [End Page 6] we hear Goethe imploring in search of empathy—to no avail. Language—the Italians "spoke Venetian dialect which I hardly understand" (44)—must have been the problem, because far from Goethe's mind was the idea of stirring their indignation. When he had left Carlsbad on the "misty, calm and beautiful" morning of September 3, 1786, still "under the influence of the iconoclastic movement that Rousseau had unloosed" (Naumann 191), convinced of "the natural goodness of man spoiled by culture" (Neumeyer 187), and imagining Italy as "the last Thule of European civilization, both for geographical and for cultural reasons" (De Seta 199), Goethe, in fact, was looking for nothing other than those very rustic men—"simple realities of human beings" (Journey 54), true "children of Nature" (145)—whose idyllic simplicity he had long cherished and dreamed of in the books of Theocritus and Rousseau. "The idyllic dream of the first men living out of doors and retiring to caves only in an emergency is a reality here" (123), Goethe was to notice soon about Italy. Idyllic peasants were the object of his admiration, and—if only they could understand!—he had come as their sympathetic friend and student, they had nothing to fear or be indignant about...After all, their pastoral humility was the positive antithesis to all the "environmental mediocrity" (Placanica 23) he had had to endure at Weimar's ducal palace. "It is necessary that I leave," he had written to Charlotte von Stein with a sense of urgency and inevitability on September 2 (quoted in Chiusano 148). He left that mediocrity on the next day, making sure that the way he left it would not replicate mediocrity's own logic. He left, in other words, not like yet another peer of the realm,2 but like a modest—if suspiciously so—Romantic wanderer. A representative and respected member of a rising German bourgeoisie, Goethe was no...

A device to help an individual with a disability carry his or her bag or storage unit on their wheelchair or other mobility device, without requiring a large space to deploy the storage and retrieval product. The invention consists of a set of arms, connected to a sliding mechanism along a track. When the user wishes to access his or her belongings, the bag slides from a storage position behind the wheelchair to a retrieval position perpendicular to the wheelchair's armrest. The deployment process is accomplished without rotating the entire mechanism around a central axis. Thus, the invention keeps the storage unit close to the wheelchair and therefore takes up less space during retrieval and increases stability during deployment.
