This document outlines the design requirements and factors for Team Unum's Pressure Regulation Device (PDR). Key aspects include target market identification, capabilities, time and cost considerations, and specific pressure range requirements ranging from 0-100 psi input to 0-65 psi output. Standard connections must be compatible with 3/8” and 1/4” threaded fasteners. The device should weigh less than 5 pounds, be battery-operated with a microprocessor, and feature a user-friendly interface. Additional considerations include waterproofing and robustness for safety.
