Week 10- Brinkley Brooks

 This week was more of a mellow week for me because of other classes picking up, and I put in a lot of work the last few weeks so I had hours to spare. 

I worked in the lab for a little and started manufacturing the three tube resistor design with epoxy/unicone. During capstone, we tried to find more parts to help with shakedowns, such as a needle that would fit our tiny tubing. We could not find one the right size in the lab, so I found one to order online. I worked on my ethics presentation and peer reviewed Kierstin's presentation. 




I am still taking measurements for the dissolving lab incase we change our minds, but at this point I do not think we need that design component anymore. 


This is the epoxy boat and plug that I did. There was not supposed to be a hole in the white piece, so I re-epoxied it. 

Here is the proof of the peer eval:

Week 9 - Brinkley

 This week was a lot of testing and research. I am still working on the dissolving component and figure out that data, which will make more sense with time hopefully. When we were in the capstone block, we did a couple of shakedowns, we did a brief resistor in parallel test that worked great, Fady set up the sensors, and we modified parts we already had to make them work for shakedowns.  The research I did this week was about materials. I researched silicone sheets, silicone molding, glue, and sutures. For each category I found biocompatible and regular options. The regular options are much cheaper and easier to get.  Here are the links to the products I found:  Research Mold and Curing Silicone:  Biocompatible: https://www.elkem.com/silicones/offer/healthcare/medical-grade/liquid-silicone-rubber/ I would suggest soft or mid durometer because it would be less preventative of the tube expanding. Less resistance. Another option is:  https://products-silicones...
