The Project Pyramid Clinic team aims to optimize an isothermal calibration procedure for precise temperature-sensing electronic devices. The project investigates a fluidized bed to replace the current water bath to minimize hazards in the testing environment and improve the throughput of the calibration process. The final deliverable will be a fluidized-bed prototype, an evaluation of its performance and a method of integrating the bed in an operation line.
