  2. Overview • Introduction • Reason for Design • Requirements of Design • Targets • Final Concept • Product Demonstration • Product Evaluation • Impact • Recommendations • Question and Answer

  3. Reason for Design • To develop a device for holding an ultrasound probe while conducting lithotripsy tests

  4. Main Requirements • Hold probe against test specimen • Meet space constraints • Waterproof • Controlled by external source

  5. Targets

  6. Final Concept

  7. Arm/Hub Threaded Rod O.R. Shoulder Bolt Outer Ring I.R. Threaded Insert Bracket Rod Threaded Bolt Inner Ring O.R. Bearing Anchor C.A.D. Assembly Components

  8. Concentric Ring Design

  9. Controller Software-driven controller • Graphic interfaced software • Runs on Windows OS • Allows for easy control of device • Can make fine adjustments easily and remotely

  10. Evaluation Prototype was evaluated: • Against customer requirements • Against engineering specifications • With ANSYS for FEA

  11. Product Evaluation

  12. Impact Safety • Hands free manipulation Environmental • Bio-friendly Society • Aids in improving impacts of Lithotripsy experiments on the blood flow in the kidneys

  13. Recommendations Future Work: • Enhance controller • Longer, less rigid flexible shafts • Adjustable grip for different probe sizes • Enhanced locking mechanisms

  14. QUESTION AND ANSWER
