Knolling – Fat Loss Monitor – Rishi Agarwal and Annie Pyle

No Phones At The Table – Pseudocode and Pseudotable – Rishi Agarwal and Annie Pyle

Apparently fat loss monitors are pretty simple. The grips are literally just thin pieces of metal used to conduct electricity through the user's hands. The plates touch wires which lead to a sensor that processes the electrical signals and relays the information to the main processing unit. This unit seems to be connected to basically everything else on the board including the batteries, the buttons and the screen.

The most intriguing part of the teardown was the screen. At first, it seemed that the screen was not electrically connected to the board. Upon closer inspection we realized that the screen was connected to the board by a thin, transparent film on the screen's edge and narrow conductive columns within the foam that supported the screen itself.
