Title: Disabled Patient Positioning SystemNames:Hani Bou Reslan - Communicator Snoop aka. “Tom Pearce” - BSACJoel Rotroff - Weblord Ben Moga - LeaderClient: Professor Frank FronczakDates: 4/14 – 4/27Problem Statement:A platform device is desired that enables wheelchair users access to health care procedures. The device should have two-degrees of freedom (rotation of 360 degrees, andvertical translation from 3”-9” above the floor). This device should be motorized, transportable, easy to use, and safe.Restatement of Team Goals:We are keeping our eye on the national competition and are keeping the necessary steps to take in our mind. The steps include finishing the ramp, the housing assembly, workingon alignment issues (to the best of our ability) and making the final prototype aesthetically pleasing. Individual Goals:Snoop = Construction + DesignJoel = Financing + PresentationHani = Stress Analysis + PaperBen = Construction Summary of Accomplishments:We discussed progress and decided that it is not necessary to finish the ramp for our final BME class presentations. However, we have constructed a housing assembly for the hydraulic pump and battery. The materials used were leftover from construction and it is a simple yet effective design. To help with alignment, guide bars were added for the backtwo tracks and all grooves now have e-clips in them. Shiny rustoleum was purchased for aesthetics and practically of anti-rust. We are using magnetic clips to keep the wheels in place. Upon testing, one of the weld joints on the wheels broke so the current welding design on the wheels must be beefed up.Statement of Team Goals:We are focused on our final class poster presentation that takes place on Friday. Minimum construction is necessary and everything is in order to make a good showing. Itis undecided as of now whether or not the ramp will be purchased and constructed for thecompetition; however, a design is finalized.Project Schedule: Date Goals Activities12 February Schoof’s Competition Do our best, get slammed,learn a lot5 March Mid-semester Presentation12 March Report / Lab Books due Oh Yeah!!!30 April Poster / Final Prototype due No problemo5 May Written report Do really goodDifficulties:ALIGNMENT ISSUES!!!
