The document describes an experiment that compares reflex and voluntary responses in the human body. Students observe the knee-jerk reflex when their knee is tapped and find they are unable to control it. They also observe that when one eye is exposed to light, its pupil contracts, while the covered eye's pupil dilates, which is a reflex. In contrast, students measure their reaction time when trying to catch a falling meter stick, finding they have some control over this voluntary response. The document concludes that reflexes in the knee and eyes occur too quickly to be controlled and are advantageous for rapid responses to stimuli.

A SYSTEMATIC RISK ASSESSMENT APPROACH FOR SECURING THE SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEMSIJNSA Journal
The smart irrigation system represents an innovative approach to optimize water usage in agricultural and landscaping practices. The integration of cutting-edge technologies, including sensors, actuators, and data analysis, empowers this system to provide accurate monitoring and control of irrigation processes by leveraging real-time environmental conditions. The main objective of a smart irrigation system is to optimize water efficiency, minimize expenses, and foster the adoption of sustainable water management methods. This paper conducts a systematic risk assessment by exploring the key components/assets and their functionalities in the smart irrigation system. The crucial role of sensors in gathering data on soil moisture, weather patterns, and plant well-being is emphasized in this system. These sensors enable intelligent decision-making in irrigation scheduling and water distribution, leading to enhanced water efficiency and sustainable water management practices. Actuators enable automated control of irrigation devices, ensuring precise and targeted water delivery to plants. Additionally, the paper addresses the potential threat and vulnerabilities associated with smart irrigation systems. It discusses limitations of the system, such as power constraints and computational capabilities, and calculates the potential security risks. The paper suggests possible risk treatment methods for effective secure system operation. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the significant benefits of implementing smart irrigation systems, including improved water conservation, increased crop yield, and reduced environmental impact. Additionally, based on the security analysis conducted, the paper recommends the implementation of countermeasures and security approaches to address vulnerabilities and ensure the integrity and reliability of the system. By incorporating these measures, smart irrigation technology can revolutionize water management practices in agriculture, promoting sustainability, resource efficiency, and safeguarding against potential security threats.

& Instruction Manual
Editor's Notes
Now I can return to explain our sketch.
It evolved from a hand drawing sketch to a computer sketch.
I will start by naming the parts of our design:
That spring pushes the needle into the skin, the names appear inside the parenthesis
The spring is attached to a blue ring, the blue ring makes contact with the purple ring
Then we have the injection spring it pushes the piston of the syringe when released
There’s also a piece which hold the red injection spring in place, that’s the light blue piece
When the purple ring is pushed by the blue ring it pushes the green ring down and then pushes the light blue piece
The rings attached to the purple ring store energy and act as a resistance force against the blue ring
And the smallest springs hold the green ring and the syringe and are weaker than the friction coefficient of the skin
The safety mechanism is the only feature that we kept form the original design.
You have to push the injector down, when you do that the little red piece inside the circle will come down and you are able to press the button.
So you cannot push the button if you did not mean to.
After the button is pushed, the blue ring is free
Pay attention to the button springs, they will be compressed. You will see it in action.
Obviously the spring is not to scale. I did not have the appropriate software. Every time I tried to enlarge the spring vertically it would become wider at the same time and I couldn’t find a way to fix that.
Anyways you can notice the springs have been compressed. When this happens the needle goes into the skin and at the same time the springs store energy from the spring of the blue ring and they also provide resistance to the penetration spring making the needle not to go very strong.
The green ring remains compressed while the purple ring rises with the stored potential energy of its springs.
When that happens the purple provides a push to the light blue piece that moves it.
That push frees the injection spring.
Again the red spring is not to scale, it becomes wider and at the same larger.
When the red spring is released the yellow part pushes the piston of the syringe.
In summary this is what happens.
