Project Redefinition
***Our Project Proposal did not Change from Spring Quarter. What Change was our method of working by remote means.
List who is working on what.
Project Objectives
Concisely list and prioritize the project objectives and constraints
High Priority Objectives
Design and realize an electronics system to control pressure between channels
Second Priority Objectives
Develop a reliable, cost effective product
Other Constraints and Issues
Must fit in an incubator, be modular, user friendly, and easy to clean/sterilize
WOW Design Solution
A final product with 10-12 channels that studies the entire range of pressures we are interested in over evenly spaced intervals. Should be robust and easy to operate.
Risk Reduction Strategy
Regulating Pressure Drop by a means that does not add to the pressure drop of the system
Intermediate Milestones
Additional Testing Using Risk Reduction Device:
Achieving desired pressure drop between channels of ~3-7 mm Hg [Week 3]
Design Mechanism for constricting the tube
Manufacture Mechanism
Test Mechanism
Replicate Mechanism
Integrating all necessary sensors and obtaining digital readout [Week 4]
Further, test sealing with only latches [Week 4]
Last quarter we had issues with sealing
Build and Test Electronics Setup for Pressure Control [Week 5]
Final Microfluidic Device:
Fabrication of final device [Week 6]
Essentially taking what we have for 4-channels and making it into 10 channels
