Design updates I don’t know if we should talk about eliminating the back of the seat since we have no illustrations to show that.??? Also should we mention consideration of a pressure mat or sensors.??

Subsystem identification Arduino Software Pump Valves (did we specify a particular kind yet?) hoses

Design parameters Soft low density foam Individual valves (type?) Breathable & waterproof material (Gore-tex) 15 degree angle Gortex Has the ability to release water vapor from within material while preventing liquid from entering. Maybe viscoelastic This degree is important because based on calculations the proper height for 15 deg tilt is 3.5 inches which is the said deg. Of tilt that allows blood and oxygen to recirculate.

Prototype development Some materials purchased Software programmed Fabrication of bladders initiated Testing investigated Completed prototype by March 15

General responsibilities LTU ENGINEERS Ergonomic design for pad Fabrication of bladders Flow lines UDM ENGINEERS Responsible for programming software Air flow design and methods Simultaneously each group member will contribute by providing testing methods, Background information, and design parameters as well as participating in manufacturing of prototype

Next steps for implementation Purchase more components Materials testing Finalize prototype Prototype testing
