Design Of Smartseat Car Seat Safety System To Prevent Child Vehicular Heat Stroke, Alexis D. Lamott
Design Of Smartseat Car Seat Safety System To Prevent Child Vehicular Heat Stroke, Alexis D. Lamott
Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Child vehicular heatstroke deaths continue to be a preventable accident seen yearly. As such, a proposed safety system has been designed to monitor environmental temperatures and weight in an infant seat, to alert guardians that a young child is at risk of child vehicular heatstroke death or serious heatstroke related injury. The SmartSeat system is comprised of three separate printed circuit boards that work in unison to form the overall system.

Depression is a serious mental condition affecting many Americans and people across the world. Postpartum depression is a form of depression affecting women who have recently gone through childbirth. Postpartum depression can have serious symptoms that may affect not only the mother, but her newborn as well. Early detection of these symptoms is of critical importance to the welfare of the mother and her child. Many medical professionals express the need for postpartum screening being that treatment has proven to be very effective. This project aims to make early symptom detection convenient and reliable for mothers with newborns. This will …
Reading And Wirelessly Sending Eeg Signals Using Arduinos And Xbee Radios To Control A Robot, Andrew Paul Simms
Reading And Wirelessly Sending Eeg Signals Using Arduinos And Xbee Radios To Control A Robot, Andrew Paul Simms
Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
The objective of this project is to develop an EEG device that can read brainwaves from an individual, analyze the data, and use the result to send a wireless signal using Arduinos and XBee Radios to a Boe-bot to perform an action. One of the goals of this project is to read EEG data with a higher sampling frequency than a previously manufactured EEG device. The second part of the project used the device developed to differentiate an individual’s thinking between right and left and then send a simple signal to a robot using an XBee radio to perform an …
Preliminary Study Based On The Ddscat Software To Explore Increasing The Contrast Of Breast Tumors For Microwave Imaging, Rachel Megee
Preliminary Study Based On The Ddscat Software To Explore Increasing The Contrast Of Breast Tumors For Microwave Imaging, Rachel Megee
Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Microwave technology is being researched for its capabilities to detect breast tumors less painfully and at earlier stages. It is necessary to have a large contrast between cancerous and healthy tissue when the microwaves are reflected off the breast tissue. To model the increasing contrast between cancerous breast tissue and healthy breast tissue, the DDSCAT code is investigated for its capabilities and analyzed for its accuracy in scattering calculations. The DDSCAT is used to model homogenous and inhomogeneous targets. Simulations of the scattering field by the homogeneous and inhomogeneous targets are conducted and compared to Mie theory calculations for accuracy. …
Low Voltage, Low Power, Bulk-Driven Amplifier, Shama Huda
Low Voltage, Low Power, Bulk-Driven Amplifier, Shama Huda
Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
The importance of low voltage and low powered electronics is increasing with advances in medical electronics. This branch of electronics specifically requires low voltage and low power to make efficient innovative medical equipment. Low power electronics are also desirable because it conserves energy and power. This paper proposes a design of a differential in - differential our amplifier that uses a bulk-driven differential pair for the input pair. In addition, it also used bulk-driven current mirrors for the tail current sink and the active loads. The bulkdriven technique helps to achieve the low voltage design. 90nm CMOS technology was considered …
Computational Modeling Of The Internal Structure In The Breast, Jordan Greenlee
Computational Modeling Of The Internal Structure In The Breast, Jordan Greenlee
Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Many researchers who are using microwave modality in the area of breast cancer detection employ oversimplified models of the internal structure of the breast. Use of engineered or biologically inaccurate models could render inaccurate results. Therefore, a mathematical biological model is implemented in this work and aims to bridge the gap between biologists and engineers. The results of the proposed breast duct model show that older women have smaller breast ducts leading to less dense breasts, which is in agreement with medical knowledge. Also, younger women have larger breast ducts leading to more dense breasts which are consistent with the …
Microwave Dielectroscopy Of Breast Tissue Phantoms In The 5.8-40 Ghz Range, Binh Tran
Microwave Dielectroscopy Of Breast Tissue Phantoms In The 5.8-40 Ghz Range, Binh Tran
Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
Based on the high contrast in dielectric properties between the low-water-contain sample and the high-water-content one, we can determine whether the tissue sample is cancerous or normal. In order to make the measurement repeatable and convenient, some phantom materials, which have the same dielectric properties of human tissues, have been prepared. These phantom tissues are made from gelatin, water with honey syrup and Sodium Chloride (NaCl). In this project, we are going to measure and compare the dielectric properties of different types of phantom tissues by using focused beam antennas. The purpose of this project is to perform a systematic …

Dna Comparison Chip: Circuit Design And Evaluation, Tushar Bajaj
Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses
The purpose of this project was to: First, design a microchip that is capable of comparing strings of DNA sequences. Second, evaluate the functioning of such a microchip and how it can implemented in various real world applications. Physically, this microchip will act as an attachment to any computer. The computer will send two strings of DNA sequences-one library string and one pattern string-and the chip will output the number of matches that exist between the two strings (at a given position of the pattern string with respect to the library string). The circuit design is based on a 600 …
