Adjustable wave tube stand for Acoustic Reflection Technique Week: November 16th – November 23rd Client: Erin Douglas, MS-CCC-SLP Vocal Tract Development Lab - 430 Waisman Center Phone: 608-263-5610 Email: [email protected] Advisor: Dr. Willis J. Tompkins 2134 Engineering Centers Building Phone: 608-263-1581 Email: [email protected] Team: Ryan Carroll – Team Leader Jeremy Glynn– Communications Andrew Bremer – BWIG Ben Engel – BSAC Problem Statement The Vocal Tract Development lab (VT Lab) plans to compare anatomic measurements secured from Acoustic reflection technology (ART )- also known as acoustic pharyngometry – in the upright and supine position with measurements secured from imaging studies (MRI & CT). Currently, researchers in the VT Lab need to hold the wave tube in their hands which is presenting variability in the data. It is difficult to hold the wave tube at the same angle during each trial within subjects and across subjects. Hood Laboratories, the company who manufactures AR technology, has no plans to offer an adjustable stand. VTLab is requesting for the BME team to design and build a steady stand for the ART wave tube. The stand should be adjustable so that it may be used by individuals of different ages -- young children to adult. Also, the stand must allow the patient's head to remain in a standardized position in the upright and supine position. Another important criterion is that the stand/unit should be easy to clean and disinfect. Last Week’s Goals • Face Interface. • Mill out interface to obtain U-shape. • Router the sharp edges for smooth finish. • Drill holes and connect hardware for interface. • Connect rubber straps to interface. • Connect gripping material. Accomplishments • Purchased mill bit required to mill out interface piece. Bit was purchased fromMc-Master Carr. Should arrive while we are on break and ready to go when we get back. • Faced interface block on mill. • Configured interface connection for stand. This Week’s Goals • Mill out curvature for interface piece. (Should be fairly easy when our bit arrives.) • Screw in connective straps and connect to stand. • Place gripping material. • Mark measurements on stand. Stand is finished. • Divide up work for final paper.
