Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Compiled key TED parameters from Sponsor's research paper
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Verify practical values to use when operating TED with Sponsor (operating current, voltage, etc.)
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Assemble ordered parts to make prototype (All members)
Test performance or prototype (All members)
performance over short vs. extended periods of time
energy consumption when actively cooling vs. maintaining a given temperature at steady-state
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Sponsor confirmed practical values to use when operating TED; document of compiled key TED parameters updated accordingly.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Instructor suggested allocating individual component analysis roles; roles have now been allocated for each team member.
Instructor suggested double-checking key TED parameter values (current, voltage, etc.); values have now been confirmed with Sponsor.
Risks and Areas of Concern (i.e. show stoppers)
Whether the TED (or multiple TEDs) can be powered effectively with PWM, or whether DAC/driver board is required
Whether each TEDs requires individual controlÂ
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Access to a working flexible TED (for future testing)
