Fundus Reading Hood Client: Dennis G. Hafford Team Members: Leah Brandon (Leader) Adam Dahlen (Communications) Nathan Kleinhans (BWIG) Sara Worzella (BSAC) Advisor: John Webster November 11 to November 17, 2005 Problem Statement The goal of this project is to develop a monitor hood that will block ambient light. This hood must comply with the following specifications. The length must be adjustable and extend out 2 ft while keeping the monitor viewable at any length. It must be easily removable with a small footprint when stored, or will open up without requiring any space allowing regular viewing modality. There cannot be a footprint behind the monitor and it must taper to a closed viewing port of approximately 8 1/4” by 2 3/8”. Also, the hood should be self-supporting (no legs when extended) with an adjustable angle of view to allow grader to maintain good posture. Summary of Team Accomplishments for the week • Corner pieces cut out • Main hood components made • Light intensity analysis of fabrics Current Week’s Goals • Continue construction of corner pieces • Continue construction of Hood • Begin final presentation preparation Project Difficulties • None this week, construction seems to be going well thus far. Project Schedule Week1-2 worked on separate project Week 3 meet with client, literature search, develop PDS as a team Week 4 brainstorm design ideas Week 5 decide on three alternative designs Week 6 work on oral presentations and written report Week 7 oral presentations: hand in report, PDS, design notebooks Weeks 8-11 decide upon final design, work on prototype Weeks 12-14 prepare for final presentations (Dec 2), finish final design Week 15 hand in written report and notebook to advisor (Dec 7) and final advisor meeting (Dec 9)Activities Leah Brandon: Prototype 4 hrs Progress report .5 hrs Light intensity analysis .25 hrs Total 4.75 hrs Adam Dahlen: Prototype 5.5 hrs Light intensity analysis .25 hrs Total 5.75 hrs Nathan Kleinhans: Prototype 2.5 hrs Light intensity analysis .25hrs Total 2.75 hrs Sara Worzella: Prototype .5 hrs Light intensity analysis .25 hrs Purchasing materials .5 hrs Total 1.25 hrs Team Total Hours this week: 14.5 hrs Team Total Hours to date: 127.83 hrs Expenses: Velcro 1.99 Thread 1.99 Suraline Fabric 10.98 Ripstop Nylon 8.58 Deco Fabric 15.85 Antennas 31.6 Steel plates 20.00 Total
