Fourth Award
While creating models of objects with identical front and side views, I accidentally created an elementary cell, which is capable of transforming from a flat structure into a spatial object.…
Embedded Systems
Fourth Award
In extreme situations deaf-mute people have some communicative difficulties because of the language barrier. For example, as occurs when a deaf-mute person cannot ask for help. We have desig…

Fourth Award
The growing popularity of social media has made it possible for computers to easily analyze human communication to identify trends and sentiment; however, limited work has been done to analy…
Engineering Mechanics
Fourth Award
The purpose of this project was to create an efficient, reliable, low-cost and alternative source of energy from pine cones. Mature female Pinus coulteri cones were used in the study. In the…

Fourth Award
The project enables the speech impaired people, who have defects in the larynx, to speak. For a particular sound or word, there exist a particular tongue and lip movement. Sensing the tongue…
Earth and Environmental Sciences
Fourth Award
Scientists looking to familiarize themselves with a new field are often forced to read out-of-date books or spend hours poring over research papers, slowing the research process. The purpose…
