Kinematics Processing Unit (KPU)

Team Members

Garrett Underwood (Electrical and Computer Engineering)

Graphical processing has made leaps and bounds since the introduction of dedicated hardware, but there is no such hardware acceleration for physics engines. Our KPU hardware acceleration card will allow video game developers to take the load of the complex physics engine off of the CPU, thus making a complete kinematics modeled 3D world possible.
The KPU will be a purpose built processor that will do the most common physics engine calculations significantly faster than any CPU. The physics acceleration card will feature enough RAM to generate the entire 3D world at load time, further reducing the CPU overhead during game play. Additionally a small part of the KPU will be dedicated to running real-time environmental code. This will allow the 3D world to have realistic weather patterns, physical aging of materials, passing of time, seasonal changes, etc. all without input from the user.  The idea of a purpose built processor that is capable of performing a particular task faster then a general-purpose processor.

3-Dimensional Volumetric Display

Team Members

Francisco Serna (Biomedical Engineering)

This technology produces a three-dimensional display by the use of quantum dot fabrication. This idea is the employment of state of the art quantum dots in the fabrication of a static volume three-dimensional display.  This technology rests on the fabrication of quantum dots (semiconductor nanoparticles) whose energy levels can be controlled by doping and whose emission wavelength can be tuned by the size of the particle.

Active Voice Clarification

Team Members

Ben Woosley (Electrical Engineering)

When one speaks, the speaker perceives something different from what the listener perceives, as the speaker’s “feedback loop” is interfered with by sound waves that propagate through sinuses, soft tissue and to the eardrums.  By the use of active noise cancellation interference can be nullified, thus allowing the speaker to experience their speech exactly as the listener does.  The market immediately receptive to AVC will be those whose income requires a listener accepting the voice of the seller.

Clean-Hands Restaurant Garbage Receptacle

Team Members

James Ryan Johnson (Mechanical Engineering)

This product is a garbage receptacle that has the spring-loaded hinge on the bottom of the flapper rather than on the top.  With this design, the flapper could easily be forced down with the tray rather than a hand, fully opening the receptacle for garbage deposit without the unsanitary mess.

Enerflo Biosensor System

Team Members

Dayna Burnett (Educational Psychology),
Susan Odom (Educational Psychology)

The Énerflo biosensor system provides a wearable Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) sensor, collects real world data, and uses the information to design a personalized training system.  The biosensor has a digital readout of the stress/de-stress cycle and vibrates to signal the wearer when the customized threshold is exceeded. The biostats chip stores the information and can transfer data to a variety of existing hand-held or personal computer devices.

Infrared GPS Receiver

Team Members

Mohan Rajagopalan ( Government),
Christopher Overall (Mechanical Engineer)

The product will be a sync cable with either an RF or infrared receiver which connects the main processor of a car navigation system to an ordinary palm pilot. It will allow addresses stored in palm pilots and pocket pc’s to be transferred to the onboard navigation system.  This is a time saving issue for anyone who travels extensively.

Venkat Rajan (Biomedical Engineering)

This product is a real-time athletic monitoring device designed as a small device affixed to a square patch similar to a large band aid that can monitor the heart rate and body temperature of an athlete during exertion and identify critical health situations. The device consists of three main components, the first is a thermister used to measure body temperature, second a piezo-sensitive film to obtain heart rate, both components require an amplifier on the device, and third a RF transmitter to communicate data to a lap-top computer where a program identifies various frequencies and assigns the information to a certain individual.
The application is intended for professional sports teams, colleges, and school districts that spend billions of dollars on professional and amateur sporting events.
