2. Craig Bennetts
3. Snehal Chokhandre
4. Robb Colbrunn
5. Tara Bonner

Agenda:

1. Discuss immediate action items from the last meeting.

3. Discuss potential publications.
4. Decide immediate action items for the next meeting.
5. Other.

Immediate Action Items:

• Ahmet
  • Disseminate the remainder of joint mechanics testing data.
  • Prepare flowcharts to describe data flow for pre-processing of joint kinematics/kinetics data.
  • Contact Carl Winalski to discuss cartilage grading.
• Craig
  • Continue meshing of Open Knee(s) - Generation 1.
• Snehal
  • Contact editor of Scientific Data to assess suitability of Open Knee data for publication.
  • Order specimens from Anatomy Gifts Registry, another specimen supplier.

Ongoing Action Items:

• Craig
  • Anatomical imaging manuscript.
  • Large-scale analysis of simulation parameters for convergence.
• Snehal
  • Pivot shift manuscript.

  • Cruciate ligament modeling & simulation.

• Robb
  • Patellofemoral joint experimentation manuscript.
• Tara
  • Tibiofemoral joint experimentation manuscript.

Notes:

1. Discuss immediate action items from the last meeting.
   • Ahmet will disseminate the remainder of joint mechanics testing data.
   • Craig is attempting to mesh the joint geometry using Salome.
   • Snehal contacted Anatomy Gifts Registry for remaining specimens and will put an order this week.
   • Snehal noted that uniform tissue sample preparation is already documented. In the coming weeks she will go over all tissue related specifications and edit the wiki pages as needed.
2. Discuss progress of tissue testing protocol evaluation.
   • Measurement of inertial and fluid forces for tissue testing were discussed. Details will be documented on the relevant wiki page.
   • Craig and Snehal will work on the zero position assessment.
   • Snehal will work with the prototype core to build optical thickness measurement system (OTMS). She will work with the prototype shop of the Cleveland Clinic for the camera mounting system. A new macro lens is needed and should be purchased. The team also needs to consider a way to attach light source. Ahmet recommended using 80/20 to built a frame for assembly of all the parts; camera, sample platform, lights, etc.
3. Discuss potential publications.
   • Snehal will contact the editor of Scientific Data to assess the suitability of our data manuscripts for publication.
4. Decide immediate action items for the next meeting.
   • See Immediate Action Items above for details.
5. Other.
   • Imaging sessions are booked for November and December. The process for scheduling of the imaging facility has changed. More lead time is now necessary to reserve time.
