During and after Thanksgiving break, our group prepared our Progress report with the guidance of our client, along with Professors Yin and Klaesner. After completing our Progress Report and turning it in December 1, Galen prepared to give the presentation on the following Wednesday, and we met as a group twice to help him rehearse. We are going to send our client Dr. Carter our report and presentation, and are currently in the process of scheduling another meeting with him. We hope to meet with him once more before break to update him on the status of our presentation and confirm the direction we are headed in for next semester. We are still waiting on getting a long-term patient for observation and hope to have one ready by the start of next semester.

We are currently writing and finalizing the Progress Report. We met with Dr. Klaesner earlier in the week to get his thoughts on specifications. Through talking with him we have a better idea on aspects of design like analog to digital, and processing speed. We were also very unclear on how to proceed with the feedback part of our design, but after taking Dr. Klaesner’s advice we focussed primarily on literature research to guide our feedback designs. Over Thanksgiving break, we conference called Dr. Becnel, the professor for Sensors and Actuators. Overall the meeting was not too helpful as we found it difficult to convey the scope of our project and all the necessary background over a call, but we may continue to ask him for guidance in second semester during the build phase as he was extremely generous and offered his continued guidance. We have also met with Dr. Yin to clarify some of the design specifications. We are currently still waiting for Dr. Carter to find a patient we can meet with regularly to discuss the project with. Galen is going to give the next presentation, and we will be helping him prepare as a group over the weekend and early next week.
