Saturn Meeting

Today, Sunday, our group meet to have a brain storming session based on the research that we have done so far, and the task at hand. Catered to our cell, we recognized that there are three ultimatums at work: We want our machine to get into the cell, We want it to measure the voltage, and we want it to Balance the voltage. We have tried to stay on this path of thinking to keep steady guidelines. Since we have a macrophage our machine will probably be inserted through phagocytosis. We also may have a second piece outside which will eventually attach to the internal piece automatically. Our device may implant itself in the membrane, or we may have it force its way through a membrane spanning protein. Hopefully then we will have it read a voltage through a technique we discussed. The actual distribution/reduction of charge inside the cell can be resolved through a few different techniques we discussed, ion balancing being one of them.
The ideas we came up with have given us specific information to seek out to check the plausibility of each of our designs. Then we will choose the design which has the best balance of negative and positive benefits.
We might call it the Death Star.
