AED Plus Line Move and Lean Improvements
-
Project Good Compressions was designed to redesign the AED Plus manufacturing line to implement lean six sigma process improvements.
Results included:
• 35% reduction in assembly cycle time
• 31% reduction in QA labor resource requirement
• 45% increase in overall productivity
Some activities included:
• Line Balancing
• Standard Work
• Reduce Wasted Motion And Floor Space
• Reduce Total Labor Content
• Reduce Cycle Time
• Incorporate Visual Indicators…Project Good Compressions was designed to redesign the AED Plus manufacturing line to implement lean six sigma process improvements.

Development of a Videographic Pupillometer System
-
The goal of this project was to develop a remote system capable of obtaining measurements of pupillary diameter of an illuminated subject from a distance of two meters. The system was realized by
acquiring images using various optical techniques. The image data is processed by a robust algorithm and returns the current pupil diameter and percentage change.Other creators -

Osteoporotic equine bone modeling: 3-point bending of deer metacarpal bone
-
Studied the mechanical properties of deer metacarpal bones following a 0 to 4 hour decalcification treatment as an analogue for equine osteoporotic modeling. Deer metacarpal bone ultimate tensile strength (UTS) was found to be within 18% of the value reported for equine third metacarpal bone. Additionally, a relationship between acid treatment time and decrease of UTS due to decalcification was established.
