Slide 2
What we have achieved since last time Completely automated
hydraulic permeability experiment Calculates hydraulic permeability
Log mass and pressure data Change pressure automatically Easily
Input different pressures and masses Hardware communication (less
for syringe pump) Results of pulsatile testing Added a second
reservoir (capacitance) Reduced noise from +/-0.5 psi to +/-0.05
psi

Next Steps Continue to iterate towards more physiologically
relevant pulsatility Remotely control the syringe pump and add to
the software program for the Filtration Mode protocol Compile a
list of all our electronic components inventory Develop a 1 st
iteration CAD model of our hardware container
