In the realm of rapid, small-scale prototyping, there are a few main factors that drive decisions to invest resources in technology to make that prototyping possible. Cost and ease of use are two of the most influential when looking at most SMEs (Small to Medium-sized Enterprises). The U.S. Small Business Administration defines an SME as smaller than 1,250 employees. According to An Assessment of Implementation of Entry-Level 3D Printers from the Perspective of Small Businesses, 59% of small manufacturers had implemented 3D printers as of 2014. However, no matter what technology is used in rapid prototyping, there are common …

Many people enjoy playing cards but playing cards in the times of COVID-19 is difficult. There are many designs for dealing and shuffling robots, but few include sanitization and autonomous operation. This design is for a BlackJack card dealing and shuffling robot that will be autonomous and will sanitize the playing cards using UV-C LEDs. This will assist in keeping the user safe while playing a game of BlackJack

Laptop theft is an issue worldwide. According to an article from 2018, Security Boulevard stated that a laptop is stolen every 53 seconds. Using a laptop's camera, we can monitor the surroundings of the laptop and reduce a laptop's probability of being stolen. According to the University of Pittsburgh, a laptop has a 1-in- 10 chance of being stolen and nearly half of these thefts occur in offices or classrooms. These thefts mostly occur when a laptop owner leaves their device unattended for a certain period of time to maybe go visit the restroom or attend to a call when …

Any well-versed Magic: The Gathering (MTG) player or collector knows how difficult it can be to keep track of all cards in their collection. Some spend hours searching for that one specific card, and others are constantly scouring the internet for how much their collection costs. However, this issue does not only affect casual fans. Resale companies spend hours a day determining the costs of cards, and tournament judges painstakingly check players’ decks to ensure they are not cheating. To assist with these struggles, the design team proposed to create the MTG Card Virtualizer. This device scans MTG playing cards …

Schaeffler F-250 Bev Conversion: Power Electronics, Leslie Sawyer
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
This report shows the work that was done on the power electronics system in the industry sponsored Schaeffler demonstration truck project. The goal of the project was to convert a combustion Ford F250 into a battery electric vehicle, while using as much Schaeffler technology as possible. After the vehicle is converted it will be used as a demonstration vehicle to show potential investors. While this project is still in progress, the work that was done during this time was substantial to the development of this project. Progress that has been made on the power electronics system includes developments in selecting …

Smart Uv-C Disinfectant Module, Nicole Baldy, Luke Rogers, Haitham Saleh
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
The Smart UV Disinfectant device shall sanitize objects which are 18”x14”x8” or smaller and less than 20 lbs. using UV-C light. This device should contain many safety measures to prevent human and animal exposure to the UV-C light and have no public touchpoints to operate the interface. In order to achieve the first objective, this device shall contain a "sanitizing chamber" which completely encloses the object to be sanitized to prevent outside exposure with detection of any lifeforms inside of the chamber; for the second objective, it will contain a wireless interface to an Android application which can be used …

Vehicle Maintenance Tracking Program, Jared Tomlinson
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
In order to help consumers and businesses keep track of vehicle maintenance, I will create a program paired with a database that can track vehicle maintenance needs and when they should be performed. The program will be capable of tracking entire fleets of vehicles and based on the vehicle’s mileage, will notify users of what maintenance should be performed. Users will be able to add, remove, and edit vehicles in the system as needed and each vehicle will be paired with a maintenance schedule based on its needs. As maintenance is performed, it can be tracked on the schedule, which …

NJECT-3D is a student initiated design project where the utilities of a 3D printer and an injection molding machine are integrated into one cohesive unit. The goal of our project was to test the limits of rapid prototyping by utilizing printed molds. We developed an automated system where a mold can be printed on a 3D printer, translated from said 3D printer to an injection molder, then compressed and injected at said injection molder to output a finalized injection molded part.

The Smart Bike Aftermarket System will be a set of connected modules, which, when installed on a standard bicycle, will allow it to mimic some of the safety and quality-of-life functionalities of an E-bike. The most notable of these safety features is an ability to detect vehicles approaching from behind and alert the user of potential collisions. The system will also implement lighting (Headlights, taillights, and turn signals), and a coupled application so a user can view more advanced information about their cycling. The primary advantage of this system over a standard E-bike is that it will have a lower …

With frequent weeding being a tedious chore and an essential task for a successful garden, there is need for an automated method of handling this routine. Existing technologies utilize computer vision, GPS, multiple units and other tools to remove weeds from garden plots. However, these solutions are often complex and expensive, suited for large agricultural plots in contrast to small-scale home gardens. In addition, many of these technologies, along with manual tillers and cultivators suited for home use, are unable to perform weeding within rows of crops in a process known as intra-row weeding. The Garden Bot is an autonomous, …
Penetration Testing In A Small Business Network, Lee Kandle
Penetration Testing In A Small Business Network, Lee Kandle
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
Penetration testing on a business network consisting of three routers, one switch, and one computer. Access Control Lists (ACLs) on the routers act as the firewall(s) for the network. 10 of the twelve ACLs do not deny any form of traffic to reflect the lax security standards common in small networks. Router 1 acts as the primary router of the Attacker/Pen Tester. Router 2 represents the edge router for the business and Router 3 is the inner router closest to end-user devices. Switch 1 is connected to Router 3 with one computer connected to the switch acting as an end-user. …
