Introduction Elevator Pitch / 1-second Description An adaptive alarm clock that chooses the optimal time to wake up the user using an accelerometer that detects his/her body movements. Goals The goal of our final project was to create an alarm clock that is able to detect your sleep patterns and wake you up at the […]

Introduction We created a wearable game controller that uses accelerometers to acquire action of the hand and then maps an action to an arbitrary keystroke. The types of actions we are trying to recognize should be suitable as input control for video games. We placed 3 z-axis accelerometers on tips of the thumb, the index

Introduction In short, our project is just an isolated floating plate. Just as our title explained, it is mainly a floating plate that is segregated from all outside vibration using electromagnetic force. This purpose of the project is to design a system that complements common passive shock absorption mechanics and enhances their performance. The main
Introduction The goal of our project is to design a digital oscilloscope with 20 kHz bandwidth. The scopes that we use in ECE 4760 lab cost over one thousand dollars. The motivation of our project is to produce an affordable, easy to make oscilloscope for students or other engineers who cannot afford to buy a

Introduction The purpose of this project was to design and implement a debugger for the ATmega644 that communicated through its JTAG interface and was capable of controlling program execution by setting breakpoints and accessing registers and memory. We have three main objectives in this report: To enable a user to properly download our code onto

Introduction The ultrasonic haptic vision system enables a person to navigate hallways and around large objects without sight, through the use of an ultrasonic rangefinder that haptically interfaces with the user via tiny vibrating motors mounted on the users head. The idea behind this project was to construct a sixth sensory system that interacts with

Introduction This project was designed to aid a research study by Cornell Professors Bob Nafis and Yingxin Gao on the reasons behind the higher rate of ACL injuries suffered by female athletes. This injury rate can be up to three to eight times higher than the rate of similar injuries suffered by male athletes. The

INTRODUCTION Our project is a fart intensity detector which ranks fart magnitude on a scale from 0-9 according to sound, temperature, and gas concentrations. The inspiration for this project was to determine who could generate the worst flatulence measurable in a personally unbiased manner. To do so, however, requires measuring the intensity of these emissions.

Introduction For our final project, we built a surface electromyograph to collect and analyze data on muscle activity, which supports two channels, implements wireless transmission, and can be worn as mobile unit. Surface electromyography (EMG) is a noninvasive technique to record the activation signals of muscles when they are mechanically active. This signal is very

Introduction The BalanceBot is a singular axis self balancing robot that is capable of adjusting itself to changes in weight and position. We developed the Balance Bot (BB or B2) from a single servo and a single accelerometer. This was very much a proof of concept to show the capabilities of the ATMega644 in doing
