Heated Clothing for Safe Body Temperature
Regulation for Quadriplegic Wearer
Abstract
Design Requirements

• Info
• here

• Spinal injuries can cause the body to not
  properly regulate its own temperature.
• Hot or cold weather causes large swings in core
  temperature, severely impairing basic body
  functions.
• Will design a wheelchair accessory which
  regulates body temperature.
• A network of tubes circulates temperature-controll
  ed liquid around an all-weather garment

Introduction
Methods for computing the transient near-field
pressure of a planar aperture include the
point-source method 1 and the spatial impulse
response (SIR) method 2,3,4. Recently, a rapid
single integral approach has been developed for
continuous wave (CW) computation for both
circular pistons 5 and rectangular pistons 6.
A time domain solution to the lossless wave
equation can be derived subject to an input pulse
v(t), which models the uniform normal velocity of
the piston. Solving the wave equation in
cylindrical coordinates yields the
single-integral solution
Results
This pulse is analytically decomposed into time
and space dependent functions given by
