Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
researching vendors and ordering materials
Accomplishments from Previous Week
finished individual CAD models
body and head positioning assembly - Norman
feed tube and air duct assembly - Raphael
optic cable assembly - Crystal
third ring holder- Chris
researched air bladder for 3rd ring and now have - Chris
additional solution to bladder in case issues occur
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
modify designs if necessary based on sponsor feedback
order nylon materials by 4/13
finish design proposal presentation
order 3rd ring bladder - Chris
meet with Camille Toarmino to discuss LED sensor system for automatic remote feeding
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
will meet with sponsor for design feedback on 4/10
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
feed tube permanently in mouth?
Will discuss with Sponsor in meeting Friday April 10th. May have to conduct experiment on mice to gauge their comfort or may have to train them to accept it.
adjustable stop for feed tube sliding mechanism.
Will be implemented if sponsor decides to go with that design solution
contact other team about correct resonance frequencies to avoid.
waiting for response
designated work space?
has been assigned.
Risks and Areas of Concern
can feed tube be permanently in mouth of mouse or does it need to be retracted
which direction to face the mouse to optimize assembly and ease of use
Schedule
order materials
decide which feature to build and present next week
get quote from San Diego Precision Machining for manufacture of all machined Delrin parts.
