1. Computer aided archive system for people with impairments University of Bridgeport

2. Summary computer-aided system able to identify in any moment the location of a particular file in an archive by aid of a micro-chip attached to each file drawer automation, allowing the file to be pushed up to make it easy for the person to grab it

3. Why this idea? Increasing demand for archiving in: Police FBI IRS Embassies Hospitals Universities

4. Visibility impaired voice enabled feature which will speak the exact location of the file searched, indicating the row and the column the file is already pushed up from the cabinet

5. Audibility impaired can read the location on the computer screen the file is already pushed up from the cabinet

6. Mobility impaired can read the position on the screen and can use the wheel chair to go to the right place and pick up the file the file is already pushed up from the cabinet, ready to pick up

7. Speech impaired the system will help them with the screen indications the file is already pushed up from the cabinet, ready to pick up

8. Advantages a more accessible archiving system for impaired persons easy to utilize less time lower cost of access to the files files don’t need to be put in order how many times it was accessed and by whom and at what time and date increased productivity

9. System Design Two main sub-systems: 1.mechanical system 2.electrical system The system for a three drawer cabinet

10. Design - continued Drawer opening A three drawer cabinet

11. Design - continued Engine and sliding stem representation Drawer representation

12. Discussions – another idea use one or more robotic arms in conjunction with proposed system more costly more effective at moving files and saving even more time and space.
