Most of the oven used in the modern kitchen has at least one temperature sensor (two are most common) and some kind of user interface. The temperature sensors in side of the oven can be divided in to two categories, first one measures the temperature of the oven or in fact the temperature of the air inside the oven. The second category named...
The purpose of this project is to deliver a low-cost air quality monitor, using different gas sensors, more specifically carbon monoxide, propane and methane. The monitor will have configurable thresholds to trigger an alarm. A log with all the measurements will be available for consultation on the device.
This device converts Analog Audio to Digital Audio. Analog audio input from RCA, or stereo jack. Digital audio output to S/PDIF coaxial and S/PDIF optical. Also the device includes an analog audio pass-through to RCA and phone jack. The LPC1100 will act as an audio traffic and user interface controller. It will read user input and select one...
Domestic digital water NMR flowmeter. Water meter doesn’t require a cutting the water pipe. Method of flow measurement is based on the phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance (United State Patent US3559044). Paramagnetic fluid flowing through a conduit, which has been previously polarized by a magnetizing field, is tagged by rotating the...
Search and rescue is a very difficult task to do. Not only it is exhausting, it also imposes danger to the rescuers due to the situations they went into. Sometimes, it happens that the rescuer will either get lost or be the one to be rescued. After the calamity like earthquakes or landslides, looking for a person buried beneath the thick walls...
Utility Meters can be read automatically over a wireless link. Each meter has a low cost radio transmitter which sends the current meter reading. Postmen carry a portable meter reader which has a radio receiver and a processor. The LPC1100 performs digital signal processing to detect the weak radio signals using the single cycle multiplier....
Lost model locator is used to located a lost remote control car or plane, which goes out of sight into a heavily overgrown area. Some of the new features are – activation after take-off, automatic sensing of electric motor being off and user controlled alarm intensity. The power is received from the r/c receiver directly - similar to a typical...
Car-G-oMeter is a gadget which extends a car functionality and allows to gather information about basic values like (instantaneous, average, maximum, average for trip distance and time): velocity, side & forward/reverse acceleration, time and distance. It act as an onboard computer of those luxury cars, going even further drawing graphs. Optional...
New robotic applications is close contact with humans, ergonomics, safety and soft-touch.
Therefore I have a idea about varible passive compliant actuator, with some advantages:
- Unlimited bandwith to impacts
- Energy storage
- More "natural" felling
- Compliance can be changed
- Adapt to situations:
+ Robot arm: safe compliant...
This design uses an LPC1100 family microcontroller as the control and communications element for a germicidal lamp ballast. Germicidal lamps require a current control element, called a ballast, to operate properly. The ballast performs other functions as well. They must also provide a voltage to pre-heat the filaments and provide a high voltage...
