Methods for Modeling Water Quality
The Problem:
Monitoring and mapping inland water quality is critical for sustainability of water supplies for human consumption, agriculture, industry, and other economic activities. In previous studies, empirical models have been widely used to map water quality parameters for inland waters using remotely sensed imagery. Due to the complex optical...

Portable Impedance Based Chemical Sensor
The Problem:
Current chemical sensors (which are used to help detect toxic materials and explosives) are not highly selective or sensitive to detecting the target compounds. This is largely due to non-selective methodologies like DC resistivity. Additionally, they typically weigh more than forty pounds and cost over a hundred thousand dollars. Therefore,...

Vehicle Occupant Detection Warning Device
The Problem:
Due to the need for movement in the location of the device, the current active child safety devices require the child to be present over a sensor that is placed beneath the child and a car safety seat. As such, it has been found that the current technology experiences false positives due to the requirement of movement in the child car...

Roadway Crack Identification & Segmentation
The Problem:
Currently laser scanning technology has been used in the Engineering and Transportation industries to survey roads and monitor surface conditions. However, existing software that scans for road cracking requires a time-consuming pre-filtering of each data point to cut out false-identification of cracks. Also, current technology does not...

Real-Time Demand Response Mechanism for Residential Energy Consumers
The Problem:
Energy-efficient thermostats are manufactured for consumer cost savings. Currently, the most successful “smart” thermostats learns the habits of the costumer and programs itself to save the owner the maximum amount of money possible based on their lifestyle instead of focusing on other aspects of the home and its location.
The...
