Research 1. Searched up on the web on the rising trend of online shopping and tried to find a link between increasing number of online shoppers to the implementation of our design (Virtual Fitting Room). 2. Came up with survey questions with the use of openAI (ChatGPT) and developed the whole survey with the use of Google Forms. 3. Logged into my personal UNIQLO application to find out what UNIQLO has in its app to offer to the current market (in terms of current sizing charts and guides). 4. Researched on the current market trends on online shopping with help from Google and ChatGPT, and further looked into articles on the current designs of existing solutions, using Google Scholar. Report 1. Started with the introduction, brought up some statistics (Oberlo) to include into the background. 2. Conducted the survey, summarised the results from 35 respondents and included the data into the section of 'issues and concerns faced by the public' in Background. 3. Explored the differe...

The article “Replacing Hearts. Restoring Lives.” (BiVACOR, n.d.) introduces the first long-term therapy for people with severe biventricular heart failure. BiVACOR’s Total Artificial Heart (TAH) is a treatment option for individuals in the final stages of heart failure who require assistance while awaiting a heart transplant or are ineligible for transplantation. The article also stated that the BiVACOR system consists of a rotor suspended using advanced magnetic levitation (MAGLEV), positioned between opposing pump enclosures. Its central capability is to assist both the left and right sides of the heart, facilitated by impeller blades for each side, attached to the revolving core. The core is elevated and set in motion through an electromagnetic motor and bearing configuration situated atop the pump enclosures. According to the article, the impellers are specifically engineered hydraulically and, when coupled with MAGLEV technology, allow precise control over circulation adjustment t...
