presentations graphic communication universal testing machines microsoft windows 10 software developmentTo develop software on a computer running on Windows 10. The computer will connect to a pneumatically operation testing machine that will cycle safety release coat hooks to ensure the release weight falls within a specified range.
The student will develop software that achieves the following on screen:
- Graphic Presentation of test results,
- Numeric Presentations;
- Release range upper and lower
- Actual release weight
- Hook count
The student will also have the computer generate data accumulation
The testing machine can be made available to the student for the purpose of fully understanding the relationship between the computer software and mechanical/pneumatic operation of the system.
About the Community Partner
Henkel Diversified Inc. manufactures a safety release coathook that employs two rare earth permanent magnets as the hold and release mechanism. James Henkel invented the hook following the death of a Chatham Ontario student who was hung on a rigid coathook in a school washroom by fellow students. The goal is to supply this product at a reasonable cost to school boards, municipalities, mental health facilities, closed custody facilities and seniors residences to prevent death and injury by accident and/or misadventure throughout North America and the UK.
