The weekly report summarizes progress on a multi-disciplinary workshop project. The team is working on two products: a device to measure food spoilage using pH and gas sensors, and a balancing chair for older adults. This week, the team learned about circuit design software and discussed the projects. They identified sensors to detect spoiled food and mechanical principles for a chair that assists with standing. Their weak point is sensors require contact with food. Next week, they will present the project to Toshiba.

Weekly Progress
In the morning,we learn about the Autium designer program this program about draw a circuit on the PCB
In affternoon, we've got to talk about our project. The product of the project consists of two pieces is the
measure of food spoilage and The balance training for older people. The measure of food spoilage will uses
two types of sensors is pH sensors and gas sensors. We will have a reference of each type of food and use
pH sensor measure value of each type of food and then values obtained were compared with reference
value. Gas sensor, when the spoilage food will be gas release. we will have reference value of each gas
when food spoilage and measure gas value in food compare with reference value.The balance training for
older people by chair. This chair is similar Biennial chair but while they rise will have the force to help get up a
little to help in the balance. By using strian gauge and mechanical principles to help increase the strength for
get up.
Engineering Analysis
Strong Point
- Know what type sensors used to detect food and each sensor has to work principle.
Week Point
- Detection of sensor need for contact with food
Next Week Job
- Architecture and some engineer going to present the project at Toshiba company.
