4182 ME Spring 09 Craig Forest Marc 411 404-385-7645 cforest@gatech.edu Office hrs by appt Kysten Raleigh MaRC 455 , kysten.raleigh@me.gatech.edu Tell me about yourself Name and where you're from 1 thing you like to do besides studying What did you think of your GT experience? What are you planning to do after GT and how are you going to get there? Why did you enroll in this section? Are you scared of no grades posted? Are you scared of "Biomedical" projects? ME 4182 Application of the design process to solve an engineering problem which includes interdisciplinary parameters such as human factors, engineering economy, safety, etc. A team structure is used to design a mechanical device or machine that performs the functions established by a project description. Each team produces detailed drawings, detailed specifications, a presentation, and a prototype of the proposed design. BLAH BLAH BLAH Goals for the course Invent something useful Apply your analytical knowledge to design it Build it, test it Document everything on web (make a website) and keep notebooks (get a notebook) Patent it, start company, make $$$ Big picture of 4182 Lipkin's section Bras's section $1000 1st place $ Cunefare's section Larson's section Forest's section $600 2nd place $400 3rd place Lectures, M: 3-4p, MRDC 2405 either by me or a guest speaker Design process Patent search, process, and pitfalls Industrial design and human factors Manufacturing: from a space-filling model to mass production Mass production: design for assembly, design for manufacture materials Market research Marketing Management: valuation, business plan Funding your startup Forming a company Professional ethics GT resources to help you be an entrepreneur Deliverables www.me.gatech.edu/cforest/me4182/2009/ Projects for ME4182 section E Fall 2008 1. Grab-bag of mechanical design projects with a biomedical slant other machine design problems 2. Propose your own idea with Problem statement Innovation required Types of analyses involved Commercialization potential Guidelines Teams of 4-5, self assembled this week By Thursday end of day let me know your preferences/proposals Projects assigned Friday Lecture Monday Deliverables due next Wednesday Budget per team, $500 Lectures on Monday, Team meetings on Wed with deliverables due every week Projects for ME4182 Bioengineering and biomedical devices Prj 1 Judith L. Fridovich-Keil Department of Human Genetics Emory University School of Medicine Problem Flies are hungry in labs around the world (used for studying genetic diseases in humans) Lab at Emory has work study student pumping a nacho cheese dispenser (2-3 L) into a gazillion vials (Several times/week making (300 vials/wk with 3 recipes) Need Fly food maker and dispenser Mix (agarose, corn meal, other delicious snacks) Boil Aliquot Fly food!!! 2 Prj Judith L. Fridovich-Keil Department of Human Genetics Emory University School of Medicine Problem Flies stored in lab at 18 C for 4-6 weeks 30 flies in vial with food and porous cap After 6 wks Old vial with grown up flies and disgusting food and new larvae 1. Tap down 2. Pull out plug 3. Put new vial over 4. Turn over Fly vials!!! Challenge Every fly lab worldwide is doing this. Would pay $K for high throughput automation Prj 3 Gretchen N. Neigh, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences Emory University Problem How much did the rat drink? Mice used to study anxiety and depression. Hypothesis, an anxious or depressed mouse will prefer a 1% sucrose solution relative to water Present method sucks Weigh the bottle every few days. What about leaks? Mouse playing with bottle? Low sampling frequency? Challenge A compact lickometer based system that records the number of licks, the pattern and timing of licks, and the volume consumed. The lickometer!!! Prj 4 Todd McDevitt Assistant Prof. BME, GaTech Project: Rapid, parallel 10x volume reducer array for embryonic stem cell culture cultured in suspension for 1-2 weeks Every other day 90% waste 10% transfer Automate for accuracy, repeatability, for 10-100 vials (high throughput) Projects for ME4182 Machine design and controls Prj 5 Hopping Rotochute Prj 5 Hopping Rotochute Rotorcraft for exploration of uneven terrain Objective: Design and construction of next generation prototype Prj 6 Rotorcraft Transport Rotorcraft can deliver payloads to remote locations Payload oscillation decreases safety and positioning accuracy Prj 6 Input Shaping Rotorcraft Transport Input shaping is a control technique that reduces vibration Has been applied to cranes, robotic arms, and satellites Prj 6 Input Shaping Cranes Prj 6 Rotorcraft Transport Objective: Design and construct a "proof of concept" rotorcraft that utilizes input shaping while transporting payloads How to get an A in Prof. Forest's course 1.
