The Inventory System will consist of a wireless barcode scanner and a web application (in both desktop and mobile variations), where the user can add to their inventory, check up on their scheduled sales and harvest information, and more. Additionally, the system will include an automated plant cooling system that will make use of industrial fans to cool the crops inside the greenhouse on hot days. The cooling system will also periodically and wirelessly transmit ambient temperature and relative humidity information to the web application.

Project: GeMAP

Description:

The GeMAP system is aimed for Alzheimer patients that tend to wander and have caretakers that worry about their safety. The system includes a belt device composed of an GPS, a Zigbee, and a GSM module connected to an MCU, an Android application for the caretaker to receive the feedback, and a network of Zigbee base stations. Zigbee base stations along with the Zigbee in the belt will confirm the patient is at his/her house; in case the patient goes outside the perimeter of the house, the GPS will transmit coordinates for location. The Android device will receive all this data an display necessary notifications and feedback to the caretaker.

Project:CarSpy

Description:

CarSpy is a security device that will provide extra information to help resolve carjacking and car theft cases. The sensor-activated system will consist of a GPS module to offer the location of the vehicle and a camera module that will be aimed towards the driver seat and window in order to capture a crime in progress. The location and images, along with the current date and time, will be sent wirelessly via a GSM/GPRS module to a server/database where it will be stored. This information will be accessible by the user via web and mobile applications.

Project: EMR

Description:

SORAtech EMR is an electronic medical record system designed to store, retrieve and modify medical records. With SORAtech EMR doctor's can tend to their patients with nothing but a computer tablet in their hand and have all of their patient's information at their disposal. SORAtech EMR also includes peripherals for measuring vital signs automatically and electronically.

Project: AgriMeter

Description:

The AgriMeter project is a solution for surveyor professionals that do not have low-cost equipment that allows them to obtain horizontal distance and sea level elevation difference between two straight points that are at a length greater than 1000 m. Our solution includes a GPS based embedded system, an Android application and a web application.

Project: HotSpot

Description:

HotSpot by Phoenix Solutions is an automatic fire alarm notification system that provides critical information to help firefighters plan their strategies during fire emergency situations. The system consists of a wireless sensor network composed of smoke detectors and temperature and motion sensors that detect the presence of fire and people inside a structure. When the presence of fire is detected, the central unit sends the information to a network based application that cre-ates a map with the location of the fire and people inside the structure. Thus, HotSpot will help the Fire Department of Puerto Rico achieve better resource allocation and coordination in fire emergencies.

Project: Wiretech Power Management Solution

Description:

Although alternate power sources have become common in recent years, proper power management is still the most attractive solution for middle to lower class individuals. The Wiretech Power Management Solution is a cost effective wireless electric management system for a home or small building. The system will allow the user to control and keep track of the power consumption of the outlets and light fixtures, thus removing any unwanted power consumption. The system is composed of ISM band enabled outlets/light-switches that use relays to virtually unplug devices from the grid, a Wi-Fi enabled main controller that communicates and keeps track of power consumption for all of the devices and an Android app capable of communicating with the main controller through the internet providing full system functionality.

Project: SmartPlay

Description:

SmartPlay is a system designed for the automation of data collection in an arcade. It consists of a module which can be retrofitted into the arcade machine, which will allow payments and reward collection to occur using an RFID card. The module is connected to a private network to transmit the transaction data to a central server which will authorize payments and manage configurations. An admin panel is then used to manage the user accounts and machine configurations, as well as the automatic generation of the reports used by the manager.

Project: MultiRED

Description:

The MultiRED system aims at providing clients with estimate appraisal of the energy potential of various renewable energy resources at the client's property location. By creating a data logger that will capture the power output of multiple renewable energy sources, the user will be informed through visual representations and charts regarding how much they could save if they switched to a renewable energy alternative as a source of energy for their personal properties. As a secondary public service, MultiRED will collect information to display on their website concerning the collective sum of samples taken in every municipality of PR. This will provide the public with information on what renewable source of energy is best harvested at this specific region.

Project: Qbo

Description:

Qbo is a recycling initiative that aims to increase the amount of recycled material collected, by offering incentives to homeowners. In order to do this, each user will have a unique ID assigned to his/her recycling bin, and recycled material collected by municipalities will be weighed individually. Users will then be awarded points which they can exchange for rewards such as coupons, government exemptions, among others.

Project: Security Solutions

Description:

Security Solutions helps museums meet their security needs. The device sends a message to a computer when an object is being removed.

Project: DOLLS

Description:

People with physical impairment, such as muscle dystrophy, may display muscle weakness in the lower limb area. This muscle deficiency affects the individual in common daily activities like walking, running and sitting. It is our aim to assist people with this condition and our project will design and implement a lower limb orthosis in the form of an power exoskeleton which supports the knee joint during activities such as sitting and standing up. The project’s focus is to provide support for people with muscle weakness that still have a certain degree of motion.

Project: The Child Security Alert Bracelet

Description:

Life Connection: The Child Security Alert Bracelet is a device that provides security for children. The Life Connection system is a product which aims to help this problem by providing a device by which parents, legal guardians, and caretakers can monitor the location and well-being of a child. This product in the form of a bracelet provides significant functional advantages over its market competition by not only allowing parents to monitor the location of their children at all times, but also monitoring the child’s pulse, ambient temperature (for location pinpointing), alongside a camera, and a microphone that can all be monitored from a mobile application or web interface. Any of these interfaces can notify the parents if tampering attempts have been made on the device to disable its operation. Life Connection is based on an ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller, GPS module, Assisted GPS through a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) module, pulse, temperature and stretch sensors, camera, microphone, mobile application and web user interface for parents, and a central database for data storage. This product is intended to be used on a daily basis by parents, guardians, or caretakers, and children.
