We discussed the balance therapy device they were developing. Lyall has contracted with them to develop engineering specs fo the project. They are developing the device for a physical therapist in Atlanta, Georgia, Rich Mechling, who holds a patent on the concept. Rich has already licensed the concept to two other companies that produce a similar device. The two other devices use either springs or air bags to offer resistance to the pready licensed the concept to two other companies that produce a similar device. The two other devices use either springs or air bags to offer resistance to the pC%Blatform. Wiko has agreed to develop a version that uses hydraulic cylinders. The protorype they have constructed uses homemade u-joints and cylinders with too much static resistance to be viable. 9/20/96 called Brandon Ideen-I asked Brandon if it would be alright if I called rich Mechling to ask him several questions. He gave em Richs phone number and agreed to warn Rich that I would be calling. 9/30/96 I called Rich Mechling and received answers to several questions I had on the performCance requirements of the rehab device. 11/25/96 I sent report to Brandon Ideen that completed our obligation to Phase I of the contract Lyall had written with them. 12/17/97 called Brandon Ideen he seemed to like report and wanted to know where to go from here.

I indicated to Scott that from a regulatory standpoint, there is no current need for him to control the emissions. I told him that the TRS0 ambient standard would be coming down the pike from DEQ in June, but that the method was not yet determined. This would apply to publicly accessible areas impacted by the cooking emissions. I also mentioned that the EPA had published a preliminary noticBe for the Intervention Level of SO2, but that the regulation wouldnt be out till later this year at the earliest. My recommendation - evaluate the political consequences of his activity (he will have to live in town) and adjust his emissions accordingly. A stack control will be possible. I encouraged him to fully explore the prevention solution of pretreating the material to extract the sulfur. He does not need the sulfur in his mixture to act as a preservative.

He said that the original grant he applied for with Rick Yoder was rejected due to the waste not being solid. He is now doing a similar process on dead chickens and feels that he would meet the solid waste requirement. He had moved his plant out of town and the exhaust is no longer a problem. He slowed the chain down and reduced the temperature of the process, before he was BCburning the product, FPC helped to determine this revision for him.1ƒ5ARichard Yoder, P.E.B1/30/98C3390D2537EScottFDarlingGScott is very interested in getting some help on his chicken project.

He was needing guidance on where to look for available operating dollars and training dollars for 3 new machine operators. I suggested he phone NENEDD or DB|ED for info on CDBG and to phone Tom Moloney at DOL for info on training grants. When he gets all the info he said he would contact me to review info.

Wants info on FTIR when he returns for trip to Ireland after Thanksgiving. Hallman from Oak Ridge will provide generic info. 12/13/96 Weldon called and wants us toinvoice him for the $3500 FTIR project with Oak Ridge. 2/14/97 called Danny White to see if they had received our check for FTIR he said they hadnt called Mary she looked into and Oak Ridge had cashed check on 2/7/97. 2/17/9„!D 3) the software is full of bugs. The system will function correctly for approximately 2 hours after it has been calibrated and due to output drift it begins to reject good parts. I suggested that I would do the following 1) run a NASA technology search on microwave and penetrating wave sensors for defect detection 2) work with Oak Ridge lab to see if they could help 3) see if any one at UNL is doing research with microwaves or defect detection systems 4) post a request for assistance on TEECNET for vendors or individuals with experience with this type of sensing. 8/14/96 met with Weldon Evans and Russell Hallman (Oak Ridge Engineer) to allow Oak Ridge to evaluate the situation. Much discussion took place with Russell agreeing to develop a proposal that would investigate the current system by contacting Cognisense and also evaluate new methods ofdetecting defects. 8/19/96 called Weldon to tell him that I found a professor at UNl with some experience with microwave sensing. W„!Bect occurs when the needle is bent so badly that it projects through the side of the plastic shield that covers it. Weldon also mentioned another potential project. They want to be able to accurately measure the amount of silicon thay apply to syringe for lurication of the needle and plunger. If possible, they would like to replace the silicon with a different lubricant. they are concerned about the recent controversy involving silicon as a breast implant. They fear the FDA will ban its usCe in their application. 7/30/96 I met with Weldon Evans, Rishi Pal and Ted Miller to discuss their defect detection system. They showed the system to me and explained its short comings. The system was developed by a company in California called Cognisense and that company is not interested in doing further work. The detection system seems to have three problems 1) thermal shift in the sensor output 2) its not sensitive enough to detect needles that are out of spec but not grossly defective]^r„"A Jeff FrieldsB1/20/97C4128D1783EDavidFEvansGpotential international project„#A Renee HeldB6/9/97C3143D2800EJeffFEvansG06/09/97 Project meeting on the status of the part number committee, 2.5 hours 6/13/97 Project meeting on status of part committee, organization recorganized, 1 hour„$A Renee HeldB7/9/97C3143D2800EJeffFEvansB6/9/97C3143D2800EJeffFEvansG06/09/97 Project meeting on the status of the part number committee, 2.5 hours 6/13/97 Project meeting on status of part committee, organization recorganized, 1 hour„$A Renee HeldB7/9/97C3143D2800EJeffFEvans^g„&AJI phoned Russ to follow-up on project proposal & left message. doris Chohon returned the call stating that they may have someone hired at this time and are not interested.
