With the aim of keeping science reporting objective and specific, I suggest to avoid - or reduce to a minimum - personal and possessive pronouns; e.g., "our" prototype doesn't mean much, and it shouldn't matter who's it is. Similar, it shouldn't made who did the work.
I've been having a go at changing this wording, mostly reducing it.

I will have a go at removing this from the sections I wrote in the appendix. It seems to be the most offending area of the use 'our'

Wow, I sure did love a good 'our, we'. Updated to so no longer in use
