Cancer Research Project To Whom It May Concern, Hi, my name is Doug Coil and I am in cancer research at the Stehlin Foundation for Cancer Research. I have a research problem that I will describe below. I had been working with an individual in the UK and he just ran out of ability to solve my problem. The hardware is completed (project board w/ pic chip, 7 sensor inputs, associated electronics, an LCD display, reset button, and two 9 volt batteries), but the logic and chip programming need to be done. I have a small budget for this project (we are NON-profit, 501c3). I have a small budget left for this, which I hope will work out. The project is not a patentable endeavor, as it is for research purposes only. If the project is successful, it will of course be published, and those involved acknowledged. I thank you for your time in reviewing this, and hopefully responding. The project is to determine blood flow in a phantom material that mimics a tumor and the surrounding vasculature. There are a total of 7 proximity sensors that will be used to sense magnetic particles injected into the blood flow. I will not get into more every detail here, but from this you will understand the basis of the project. Here is the breakdown for the programming of the sensors. Sensors 1 and 2 are for timing to determine blood speed. Sensors 3 - 7 are to determine the path through the phantom. There is a possibility that several of the sensors 3 - 7 could be 'tripped' during a 'run'. Each sensor that was tripped would need to be displayed. A run will not last more than about 6 seconds, probably 2.5 - 3 secs. If you are interested, let me know and I will supply you with the details.
