The Design of Design
175- The Divorce of Design quote from Michael Cooley
176- Discussion as to what he means by the designer divorced from his design giving examples from many different fields.
177-Explains why there are divorces of design with two reasons, and gives some brief examples of what happens when there are divorces.
178- Discussion of the first remedy, use-scenario experience, whether it just be a simulation, and discussion of his experience with the remedy.
179- Another example of use-scenario, and discussion of Remedy 2 close interaction with users via incremental development and iterative delivery.
180- He gives his experience with remedy two on two different occasions, and begins discussion of remedy 3 concurrent engineering, implementers are a part of design process.
181-Remedy 4 Education of designers, the designer needs to have direct contact with the user not just reading or hearing about it and notes and references begin.

From Wally Lowry
Hardware engineer
He said we need to construct our input power circuit to drive our primary coil, and like to see measurements of the power transfer efficiency at different frequencies and different distances to find our optimum power transfer coils. Ultimately, wants to see more implementation, since our goal was to use the power transfer system for a implanted chip.
