Introduction In this project, we designed and implemented a system that will utilize light & shadow and relative distance to to recognize the single hand gesture in the air and use different gestures as commands like volume up or speed up to control a video playing. While using keyboard keys to control videos can sometimes

A team of researchers made up from the University of California San Diego and California-based company ZPower have developed a flexible, rechargeable silver oxide-zinc battery with a 5 to 10 times greater energy density than standard batteries. A good characteristic of the battery is that it is easier to manufacture because most flexible batteries need to be manufactured in sterile conditions, under vacuum,
Introduction Our ECE 4760 final project was an image plotting system with high-level processing done in a MATLAB script we wrote and the low-level control software done on the PIC32MX250F128B microprocessor. Our MATLAB program takes images and extracts endpoints of line segments and sends the coordinates over to the PIC32 via UART serial communication. The
As a maker, we are always looking for the best way to power our projects. Usually, buck and boost converters are a considerable part of our project, because without good power, then everything else can be compromised. As important as it is, one does not want to splurge huge amounts of money on something that

Nordic Semiconductor has announced an enhanced Power Profiler Kit II (PPK2) for profiling power consumption in embedded solutions with support for their nRF51, nRF52, nRF53 short-range wireless SoCs, and nRF91 low power cellular SiP. Since it is important to optimize applications to consume as little power as possible while developing battery-powered products, PPK2 is one right tool for
Conductive materials change their properties under strain or stretching. The electrical conductivity decreases and resistance increases with stretching. The US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is working with liquid metal systems that can autonomously change the structure to become better conductors in response to strain. Polymerized Liquid Metal Networks, the material developed by AFRL scientists, can show
