Key takeaways

OhMiBod belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect OhMiBod to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of OhMiBod from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

OhMiBod is an American company that manufactures sex toys, based in New Hampshire, United States.

Overview Its name has been used as a collective reference to a range of remote controlled vibrating sex toys. The device originally translated an electronic music output into vibrations, with the volume and beat of the music determining the strength of the vibrations. Co-creator Suki Vatter previously worked for Apple's product marketing department and the product was first targeted to iPod users. Vatter, who created the product with her husband Brian, said that the vibrator is designed to be "socially acceptable". One journalist commented that the packaging looked like "something that might have come straight from the iPod factory". The website for the product also included the series "ClubVibe" which allows users to anonymously share playlists and experiences. The product was made compatible with the iPhone in January 2008 and now responds to ringtones and voice calls. In addition to the upgrade, a smaller and cheaper 'nano' versions of the toy was released. A 2008 review in MacLife pointed out that the vibrator could be heard "distractingly loud" over the iPod's earbuds. Ohmibod has been used by webcam models, who program it to vibrate to the sound of online tips. Body Heat is the name of an iPhone app designed to control an OhMiBod vibrator's vibration speed, intensity, and patterns. OhMiBod team acquired the product after a prototype was presented at the sex technology conference Arse Elektronika in September 2010 in San Francisco. The app's designer Heather Kelley is collaborating with them on creating upgrades of the software.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with OhMiBod

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what OhMiBod claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to OhMiBod before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about OhMiBod ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of OhMiBod

In research: OhMiBod appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses OhMiBod in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: OhMiBod is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2006 establishments in New Hampshire, American brands, American companies established in 2006, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for OhMiBod outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
