In the article, "Force-Sensing Gloves could Control an
iPhone By Detecting Gestures and How Objects Are Gripped," Owen (2019) has
stated that Apple aims to enable people to interact with devices using any form
of clothing made using conductive strands in the fabric, such as gloves, which
provide force-sensing capabilities. The article describes how a glove could be
enabled to detect the amount of pressure applied to the surface, delivering
different commands. The material used on the clothing would incorporate
conductive strands, interwoven with normal threads in the fabric, which allows
the sending of electrical signals from one section to another. The conductive
strands are connected to force sensing circuitry whose signals are sent to a
wireless element to send commands or other information to a main device. The
article also states that Apple has also thought of adding these fabrics with
flexible displays to create smart clothing.

In the article, "Force-Sensing Gloves could Control an iPhone
By Detecting Gestures and How Objects Are Gripped," Owen (2019) has stated
that Apple aims to enable people to interact with devices using any form of
clothing made using conductive strands in the fabric, such as gloves, which
provide force-sensing capabilities. The article describes how a glove could be
enabled to check how much force and with how many fingers a user presses a
surface, delivering different commands. The clothing would incorporate
conductive strands, interwoven with normal threads in the fabric, which allows
the sending of electrical signals from one section to another. The conductive
strands are connected to force sensing circuitry whose signals are sent to a
wireless element to send commands or other information to a main device. The

Self-Introduction
Subject: Self-Introduction
Dear professor Blackstone, my name
is Norman Tan one of your student in your effective communication class group
4. The purpose of this letter is to allow you to know me better.
I graduated in 2017 from Singapore
Polytechnic Diploma in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. During my
national service, I had many thoughts on whether should, I carry on studying on
Electrical and Electronics or Mechanical engineering. The reason I chose
mechanical engineering is because after studying 3 years in Triple E, I
realized have more passion in mechanical side of engineering than electronics
engineering. During my interview I was told that my current program of studies
will increase from 2 years to 3 years as they will be adding in a foundation
year which is a plus to me because I do not possess any foundation on
mechanical engineering hence it made up my mind to pursue my degree on
mechanical engineering.
At the end of this program, I wish
I could improve on my communication skills such as speaking, listening and
especially writing. This program will definitely help me in my future
interviews and writings.
My weakness is stuttering in my
words, difficulty expressing my message and ideas to the audience during
presentation, the lack of confidence in everything as I felt that whatever I do
others will be laughing at me.
However, there is a quote that
kept me motivated. It’s a quote that my parents pasted on my wall since I was 5
and it has affected me deeply until today. “You are what you make yourself out
to be. As parents, we will do our best to provide for you the best we can.
Despite all that, you put no effort into your studies and subsequently do not
make it in life, you have only YOURSELF to blame.” This source is my source of
strength and power as it serves as a reminder. Thank you.
Best regards,
Norman Tan
