Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Identified components according to priority to overall project completion
Considerations being given to the most important component: the XYZ/3D Plotter
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Completed first meeting with project sponsor
Received a brief introduction of sponsor's vision/objective and an enhanced understanding of the team's role
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Complete Risk Reduction Presentation
CAD rendition of XYZ Plotter (component covered in Risk Reduction)
Divide roles; prepare for presentation and Q&A session to follow
Obtain work space preferably in EBU2
Sean - preliminary sketches for screen and screen holder.
Wisdom - Identify possible pre-fabricated 3-D plotter, possibly a 3-D printer.
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
13MAR2017: Construct 3D Plotter to obtain Sensing Matrix A for a Random Pattern Screen
13MAR2017: Revision of initial design from cylindrical, 360-degree concept to simpler, planar design that effectively replaces the collimator
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Risks and Areas of Concern
With XY/2D Plotters commercially available, how to incorporate motion in Z-direction
Sizing XYZ Plotter to fit properly with the SPECT detector head
Rendering prototype capable of taking more detailed images of area of interest and less detailed of surrounding areas;
For random pattern screen: using a 2mm steel ball bearing and resin matrix will ensure random patter, must identify appropriate resin that will hold bearings and allow transmission of gamma particles.
