Bradley Column Shower:
Conversion to hands free sensor operation,
and incorporation into the new hexagonal architecture.

The mass decontamination research and teaching facility is shown in a partially constructed state, so that we can see around it, and understand how it works:
Column shower and triage room made of six smoked lexan windows.
The central triage/observation room shown above was built from six large sheets of very dark smoked lexan. The hexagonal shape of this room is comprised of its windows, each of which make up an entire wall. We cannot see into the triage/observation room because it is dark inside the room, but we know that if one or more persons were inside that they could very clearly see out into the six hexagonal rooms that are to be built around it. The locations where the walls of these six hexagonal rooms are to be built are marked in red tape:
floor tape on hardwood floor to mark walls; shown here is also the marking for the turnstile at women's entrance to the decontamination facililty.
Here we see, for example, the entrance to women's undressing room showing, in yellow tape, where the rotors of a turnstile will go.

Separate entrances for men and women are to be provided. Three of the six rooms are for men, and the other three are for women.

A Bradley column shower is to be installed in each of the two shower rooms. A Bradley six station column shower donated by Bradley Corporation has already been installed in the men's washdown room:
Sensor operated column shower in which five of the six nozzles are visible. Also visible are three of the six small round viewing windows, and some of the 12 laser diode body scanners, two being positined below each viewing window.

The knobs and soap dishes have been removed from the column shower, and the holes where these items once were have been replaced with a machine vision system comprised of 12 laser diode body scanners together with six round lexan viewing windows moulded into the inside of the column. There are two laser diode body scanners for each of the video sensors that are located at each of the six stations, for purposes of photometric stereo imaging of the bodies of the users of the column shower. A set of six video motion detectors with an Internet connected machine vision computer is to be placed inside each of the two column showers in the men's and women's washdown rooms. The system is sealed and completely watertight. Here is a closeup picture of the six round watertight viewports of the column shower currently in use in the men's washdown room:

Three of the round smoked lexan viewing windows are visible here. Up to six men can use this shower at the same time, but only the number of stations actually being occupied will consume water. Moreover, water is only consumed when a user is present. Since there are no knobs or controls of any kind, there is no possibility for deliberately destructive acts such as might otherwise happen when users deliberately (or accidentally) leave the water running. Each of the six nozzles face one side of the hexagonal shaped room to maximize space usage and efficiency.

One of the six walls in this room is made entirely of smoked lexan, so that triage personnel or decontamination officers can supervise the decontamination process, whereas the six or fewer men in this room cannot see the triage personnel or decontamination officers, because of the darkness of the lexan (transmissivity is approximately 10 percent, meaning that transmissivity squared is approximately 1 percent, as compared to roughly four percent reflectivity of the surface, such that any visual perception of triage personnel or decontamination officers will fall below a noise floor).

Typically, however, the triage personnel or decontamination officers operate the facility remotely by way of six video cameras installed in the triage/observation room. These six cameras are connected to six television receivers at a remote location, as shown below:
Six television receivers hanging from the ceiling in a hexagonal arrangement, providing video output from cameras concealed behind the six walls of the triage/observation room.

The six television receivers are arranged in the same hexagonal formation.

Six closed circuit television receivers suspended from the ceiling display outputs from each of the six decontamination rooms, as observed from the triage room.

The four of the six screens that are visible here correspond to (from left to right) the:

Note also the hexagon made from red tape on the floor has the same physical dimensions as the triage/observation room. The display surface of each of the six television receivers is aligned with and centered along the middle of a corresponding side of the hexagon depicted on the floor in red tape.
