·
Application
areas: homes, cars ·
Approach:
design a low-power FM transmitter circuit that would serve as a wireless
mechanism to play music. The device will also be usefull
for cars without a CD player. ·
Technology:
Convert existing mono design to stereo. ·
Cost:
it can be done for under $75. |

·
Goal:
Create a TV sensor that turns on a TV when someone walks into the room. The channel
to which the TV turns on is determined by the sensor, ·
Approach:
investigate various sensors using the trial and error approach. |

·
Goal:
Increase CD life by improving storage. ·
Approach:
Study current technology, use new materials to rub the CD’s and see which one
scratches the CD’s the least. |

Nathan
Clark C.J.
Bolton Robert
McCullen |
Capable
of keeping a datalink while in motion, even in
airplanes. ·
Goal:
The satellite system will also be able to receive satellite television and
transform ordinary telephones into satellite phones, allowing no more “dead
zones” ·
Approach:
It will compose of customizing and researching existing satellite systems to
be able to modify them to meet the above standards. |

Universal Remote Control Used by a PC ·
Goal:
RC that can be programmed any IR and most RF commands, including learning
these commands. ·
Approach:
There is already some research on IR completed, but next to none on a
learning RF remote in the industry. Major obstacles to overcome include
discovery of frequency bands by most RF remotes, then redesigning IR remote
and integrating a possible RF solution. |
