The damage and destruction caused by structure fires to both people and the property itself is immense, which is why accurate and reliable fire detection systems are a must-have. As Nekhil R. notes in his write-up, the current rule-based algorithms and simple sensor configurations can lead to reduced accuracy, thus showing a need for more […]
Released in 2015, the Apple Pencil is a technology-packed stylus that allows users to write on iPad screens with variations in pressure and angle — all while communicating with very low latencies. Nekhil Ravi and Shebin Jose Jacob of Coders Café were inspired by this piece of handheld tech to come up with their own pencil concept, except […]
Ensuring adequate and restful sleep is vital for maintaining good health, as decreases in sleep quality have been proven to cause a whole host of problems. University of Toronto researchers Zongyan Yao and Xilin Liu recognized this vital aspect to well-being and wanted to build an inexpensive device that could classify the various stages of sleep as […]
Nearly every manufacturer uses a machine at some point in their process, and each of those machines is almost guaranteed to contain at least one motor. In order to maintain uptime and efficiency, these motors must always work correctly, as even a small breakdown can lead to disastrous effects. Predictive maintenance aims to achieve this […]
Having something broken into and/or destroyed is an act that most people hope to avoid altogether or at least catch the perpetrator in the act when it does occur. And as Nekhil R. notes in his project write-up, traditional deterrence/detection methods often fail, meaning that a newer type of solution was necessary. Unlike other glass […]
A large number of diseases involve coughing as one of their primary symptoms, but none are quite as concerning as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which causes airflow blockages and other breathing problems in those afflicted by it. Consistently monitoring the frequency and intensity of coughing is vital for tracking how well the disease is […]
As the frequency and intensity of droughts around the world continues to increase, being able to reduce our water usage is vital for maintaining already strained freshwater resources. And according to the EPA, leaving a faucet running, whether intentionally or by accident for just five minutes can consume over ten gallons of water. However, Naveen Kumar has […]
We all strive to maintain healthier lifestyles, yet the kitchen is often the most challenging environment by far due to it containing a wide range of foods and beverages. The Smart-Badge project, created by a team of researchers from the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), aims to track just how many times we reach […]
Some modern cars, trucks, and SUVs have smart active suspension systems that can adjust to different terrain conditions. They adjust in real-time to maintain safety or performance. But they tend to only come on high-end vehicles because they’re expensive, complicated, and add weight. That’s why it is so impressive that Jallson Suryo was able to […]
Although the advent of widespread online shopping has been a great convenience, it has also led to a sharp increase in the number of returned items. This can be blamed on a number of factors, but a large contributor to this issue is damage in shipping. Shebin Jose Jacob’s solution involves building a small tracker that accompanies […]
