Introduction “Our project implements the game, Reversi, on TV with a smart artificial intelligence and a host of other features!” It’s our childhood game. We were so excited when we found out that we can actually build it for our 476 final project. We looked at the websites for various design of the game setup […]

<Introduction> In the last few decades technology has constantly pushed music further and further into the digital realm. Digital technology has infiltrated all aspects of music-making, from its creation to its recording, editing and production. We have decided to join this technology movement by fitting it to our taste. Since both of us enjoy playing […]

Researchers at the University of Washington have developed a way to use sound to create cellular scaffolding for tissue engineering, a unique approach that could help overcome one of regenerative medicine’s significant obstacles. The researchers will present their technique at the 168th meeting of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA), held October 27-31, 2014, at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown Hotel.

Introduction Nowadays in the video gaming industry, one of the most popular categories of game is music and motion simulation game. There are games where players are required to play the drum according to the matching signals and the music of the game; there are games where players play the midi keyboard according to the […]

Introduction We have created a real-time, multithreaded, preemptive operating system called kaOS for the Atmel Mega32 microcontroller, which loads and executes programs from a Secure Digital or MMC card. We wrote this OS and created the SD/MMC card reader as a final project for Cornell’s ECE 476 class taught by Professor Bruce Land.  Our reason […]

INTRODUCTION “Keyboard mania gives users an opportunity to learn and gain a unique taste of playing an electronic piano without the presence of a music teacher.” Summary of our Project We designed an electronic musical instrument, called keyboard mania, able to play an octave of notes with additional features. Features include a menu for user […]

Hybrid car sales have taken off in recent years, with a fuel-sipping combination of electric- and gas-powered technologies that simultaneously deliver energy efficiency, low emissions, and strong performance. The Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)—which played a pivotal role in putting hybrids on the road—has applied a similar strategy to its talent base and partnerships, bringing together the best minds from the worlds of research and industry.

Introduction Soundbyte TV Jezzball with dangling mouse, created by Cornell ECE476 students Arthur Zhang and Yewen Ying, is a hot, new, cool, retro look back to when times were simpler, computers were slower, and TV’s were black and white. Overview From the beginning, because of our interest in computer games, we wanted to make a […]

Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) in the Netherlands and the University of Central Florida (CREOL), report in the journal Nature Photonics the successful transmission of a record high 255 Terabits/s over a new type of fiber allowing 21 times more bandwidth than currently available in communication networks. This new type of fiber could be an answer to mitigating the impending optical transmission capacity crunch caused by the increasing bandwidth demand.

Introduction to Duck Hunt For our final project in ECE476, we implemented a multi-duck and multi-player version of the Nintendo classic Duck Hunt on the Atmel Mega32 microcontroller. In 1985, Nintendo released a game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) called Duck Hunt, and it was hugely popular with kids at the time. When we […]
