Prot-Trix - Protein Memory

Team Members

Michael Craig (Advertising),
Shahana Khurshid (Biomedical Engineering),
Alfred Song (Biomedical Engineering),
Andrew Tilstra (Mechanical Engineering)

Flash memory has been limited by the capability of the processes used by the
fabricator to create features on the memory chip. Therefore, as process capabilities improved, the size of each individual memory cell could be scaled down proportionally. The ProTrix technology is a process for the organized distribution of nanocrystals in the floating gate layer of flash memory that ensures that each nanocrystal is electrically isolated from other nanocrystals in the floating gate. Use of ProTrix technology will enable manufacturers to improve upon existing flash memory technology by making the unit of flash memory 40 cheaper, smaller, more efficient, faster and more reliable.

Yonic Medina (Chemical Engineering)

Avatarus applies a Geometric Modeling and Pattern Recognition device (GMPR) technology for the gaming community. It allows the consumer to have their facial features scanned and inserted into the gaming environment as an avatar. The GMPR can safely and quickly produce the data needed for an avatar. Each customer could therefore finally see themselves directly in the action of the latest video game. Instead of a distant, universal character that anyone can play, this technology personalizes the game and offers the next step in bringing video games more and more real.

Turn2Live offers a web and mobile platform that allows users to discover live music by searching for specific types of experiences. Turn2Live combines an analysis of venue type and music type to match the experience type sought by the individual user. Turn2Live makes it easy to find live music offerings, easy to preview the experience, and then allows users to rate and catalogue their experiences while they are at the event. By constantly rating and analyzing user experiences, the technology builds datasets on live music offerings, something that just is not available in the live music industry. The web and mobile platforms combine to create the CityPulse™ technology which allows users to find out which venues, bars, clubs, restaurants are being highly rated, all in real time.

PetroAI

Team Members

Scott Hou (Petroleum Engineering)

By utilizing artificial intelligence combined with 3D/4D visualization and high performance computing clusters, PetroAI will be able to train a smart computer system to incorporate every piece of data, learn from every historical data set and transfer the best practices only obtained from experiences from professional who are retiring. This technology will also be able to streamline and automate each step of engineering workflow, and make the best decision with “knowledge” and “experiences” gathered all over the world and many different technical professionals quickly. At the same time, all associated cost with exploration, production and human resource will be reduced while operation efficiency will be increased.

SOREE is designed to help people to filter out certain unwanted noise within a designated area. The product will work by setting a clear boundary where the place demands quieter conversation and outside the designated-to-be quiet area. Therefore, noise cancellation device will also ensure one’s privacy by limiting the sounds to go outside the predetermined boundary. On the other hand, the device will cancel out slipped sounds emitted from the conversation area. This product is
called the multi-purpose noise cancellation device because it also has the functionality to have customized sounds, which can be stored into the physical memory space as an index.

The SeeNote - Microbial Cellulose Electronic Paper

Team Members

Andrew Bellay (Chemical Engineering, Plan II Honors Program),
Shawn Hetrick (Chemical Engineering),
Timothy Lei (Chemical Engineering),
Krishna Venkatesh (Electrical Engineering)

Microbial cellulose electronic paper (MCEP) is a type of electronic paper that is created using an organic cellulose substrate. The cellulose is created by microbes, and it has paper-like physical properties. When a special ink is deposited within the cellulose, MCEP can be used to display text and images. The resulting product allows users to see their documents in physical form. The suggested use of MCEP is a new product called The SeeNoteTM. The SeeNote can be written on using a stylus, and the user interface is a set of buttons displayed on the screen that can be selected with the stylus. Hardware is distributed throughout the product, providing power, controlling the device, storing data, and providing wireless communication.
