Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
First prototype is fully assembled and functional
Test dummy is fully assembled and functional
Initial test dummy falls were successful and provided quality results
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Conducted test dummy falls off EBU 2 from 1st, 2nd and 3rd floor
Recorded and analyzed data from falls using prototype sensor package
Modified test dummy for more realistic simulation
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Continue testing using EBU 2 drop site (All)
Modify sensor case design using Solidworks and 3D print new case (Joe)
Develop DAQ to simplify and clean up data displayed from sensor (Jeff)
Optimize test dummy for higher quality experimental results (Joe C. and Kelvin)
Continue to work on project report (All)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Dead-reckoning using integration is unlikely to provide any usable data
Pleased with progress on test dummy, PCB, sensor case and DAQ

Risks and Areas of Concern
Ensure proper enclosure of Lithium battery to protect from punctures
Test dummy not falling like "life-like" human body
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Schedule
Test falls on Wed 5/22
