Researchers at the Paris-Saclay “Astrophysics, Instrumentation, Modelling” laboratory (AIM – CNRS/CEA/Université Paris Diderot), of the CEA’s Military Applications Division (DAM) and from the Universe and Theories Laboratory (LUTH – Observatoire de Paris/CNRS/Université Paris Diderot) at the Paris Observatory, have succeeded in modelling an enigmatic phenomenon of quasi-periodic oscillations present on the surface of strongly magnetic “white dwarf” stars, called “polars”.

Introduction “A composite personal health monitor solution bridges the gaps between patients and doctors.” —Engineering Goodwill This project creates a portable device implementing wireless technology and taking full advantage of the wide-spreading Internet to provide a convenient solution to monitor human health. The health information acquired on the portable side transmits to the server wirelessly […]

Background We designed and implemented an automated, portable bird-trapping mechanism, along with an associated system which is scalable Every year between early May and mid-June large amounts of tree swallows migrate to Ithaca, NY area to mate. The study of these birds invariably require a large number of specimens to be captured for purposes such […]

Introduction For our final project, we re-engineered a remote control car to autonomously navigate through a track by detecting lanes and centering itself between them as well as detect objects in front of it and avoid collision. The RC car detects lanes through image input from a low-resolution camera mounted at its front. Using an […]

This is an AVR ATmega328 based CO2, temperature and humidity logger and meter. It logs data feed, CO2 in air in terms of ppm, temperature and humidity to a xively.com feed. It also display realtime data to user through a 16×2 characters LCD. This logger it is based on the xively logger you can found here: http://davidegironi.blogspot.it/2014/12/a-web-configurable-xively-logger-build.html User can setup the ethernet […]

Overview [top] As avid audiophiles, we wanted to apply our newly acquired knowledge of microcontrollers to build a fun consumer electronic device. Our project is a step sequencer drum machine. The user is able to program a 16-step percussion pattern using one of a wide range of percussion instruments on each of six different tracks. […]

The Nobel Prize winner Roderick MacKinnon suggested that ion channels were like rigid tubes through which molecules of varying size move. Now it seems that he was wrong: a team of scientists from SISSA Trieste and the Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste at AREA Science Park used the most robust technique in this field, X-ray crystallography, to watch ionic channels to change their diameter as they adjust to the size of the ions crossing them.

(Phys.org)—It was a good week for new technology as a team of researchers at Columbia University announced a way to get renewable energy from evaporating water—they have come up with two devices, one a piston-based engine that generates electricity while floating, and the other, a rotary engine that powers a tiny car. Also, another team with members from the U.S

Introduction In a Nutshell Our ECE 4760 final project was a car made of K’NEX that follows a LED strip. What We Did For this project we made a K’NEX car that follows a path made by a LED strip. We used two phototransistors to detect the lights from the LED, while considering ambient light. […]

For our ECE4760 final design project, we designed and built a two player game system for rock-paper-scissors. Our implementation involved the use of two sensor gloves (one for each player) that tracked bends in the user’s fingers, to determine the symbol put out by each player, as well as hand acceleration, to track the start […]
