Design of a Smart Network System for Distributed and Redundant Data Broadcast and Storage – DiSNet

Due to the instability of Puerto Rico’s power transmission grid during and after natural disasters, there is a need for a fault tolerant, secure, reliable, and distributed network system that continuously stores and distributes information throughout the grid. The proposed solution to this problem is a design and implementation of a distributed network system that still sends and receives information, even when the power grid is experiencing faults. This solution will be implemented using a system of nodes, made of single-board computers (SBC), that are interconnected wirelessly. In the grid, each node will have each other’s information, and will be continuously distributing it to their neighbors. Because each node contains a copy of their neighbors’ information, redundancy is created, making the system fault-tolerant. The system’s reliability will be guaranteed by making sure the system is always available and continuously receiving and transmitting data.

Operation Smart Nest

This operation is focused on the creation of a solar-powered surveillance system that collects information regarding the Yellow-Shouldered Blackbirds installed in artificial nests planted in the harsh environments of the black mangroves in the Boquerón State Forest in Cabo Rojo. It contains the necessary hardware to obtain visual recordings and data regarding temperature and humidity, which is sent wirelessly to a cloud storage and shown in a user-friendly webpage.

Chamaecrista Circadian Rhythm Research, Irrigation System and Light Controller

The project aims to provide a controlled enviroment that will aid researchers in the study of the endangered species : Chamaecrista glandulosa var. mirabilis, circadian rhythm via the monitoring of the temperature, moisture, humidity, and light levels present when at certain points of the day and whether its leaves were open or closed
