The art of cave exploration, or spelunking, can get its practitioners far closer to nature and the land we inhabit, but it also comes with a host of potential dangers. Some include extreme environmental conditions, lack of oxygen/toxic gases, and simply having their path closed off due to rock falls. Seeing these problems, Rifqi Abdillah […]
Embedded audio classification is a very powerful tool when it comes to predictive maintenance, as a wide variety of sounds can be distinguished as either normal or harmful several times per second automatically and reliably. To demonstrate how this pattern recognition could be incorporated into a commercial setting, Kevin Richmond created the Listen Up project that aims […]
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 […]
As part of our ongoing collaboration with K-Way, Justin Lutz set out to integrate intelligent electronics into one of the company’s iconic outdoor jackets. Due to the active lifestyle of the brand, Lutz chose to use the Arduino Nicla Sense ME board to detect gestures while hiking as well as monitor the barometric pressure for potential storms. […]
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 […]
Going for a hike outdoors is a great way to relieve stress, do some exercise, and get closer to nature, but tracking those adventures can be a challenge. Our recent collaboration with K-Way led Zalmotek to develop a small device that can be paired to a jacket to monitor progress on a wearer’s trek and even […]
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 […]
