Dash display board

Bike Dash

For our ECE 4760 final project, we designed and built a bicycle dashboard which displays the cyclist’s pedaling power, speed, cadence, and distance to enhance training. The major motivation of this project was to replicate a commercial product at a dramatically reduced price point. A commercial power meter costs around $1000 for just the instrumented

SOLAR INTEGRATED ULP FEATHER NEEDS NO BATTERIES

SOLAR INTEGRATED ULP FEATHER NEEDS NO BATTERIES

Long battery-life and Low power consumption are usually top on the list of requirements for most hardware devices these days, as the weariness of having to constantly charge a device continues to have significant effect on customers’ choice. Asides from consumer applications, another reason fueling this demand is the growth in the deployment of IoT

MEET THE NEXT GEN LITHIUM SULFUR BATTERIES

MEET THE NEXT-GEN LITHIUM-SULFUR BATTERIES

What would you give for a battery, 5x the storage capacity of whatever you’re reading from? Well, the countdown to commercial availability for batteries of this type of capacity has already begun and it would be considerably cheaper than then currently available batteries. This radical improvement comes from using sulfur cathodes rather than graphite in lithium-ion batteries. Sulfur

SOZU MONITORING SYSTEM HARVESTS ACTIVITY ENERGY RUNS WITHOUT BATTERIES

SOZU MONITORING SYSTEM HARVESTS ACTIVITY ENERGY & RUNS WITHOUT BATTERIES

A team of Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s Future Interfaces Group have developed self-powered radio tags called Sozu, which enables building-scale activity sensing, without the need for line-of-sight and at a very low cost. They claim a 99 percent detection rate and “almost no false positives.” The team of researchers includes Yang Zhang, Yasha Iravantchi, Haojian Jin, Swarun Kumar, and Chris Harrison. Sozu
