FIRST PLACE: OMB Process Automation --
Matt Dictus, Nalleli Luevano, Richard Remmers, Hans Viets
For this group of MSOE undergraduate students, Rapid Prototyping is just not fast enough. Utilizing the experimental process
of "Over-Molded Balls," this team comprised of students from the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Departments are
designing a system to create molecular models to be used as learning tools. The 3-D, high quality, mass-producible models
are cast from plastic rather than the previous methods using plaster or foam. The new models are a single, solid part
containing all of the color schemes of the current models that identifies the types of atoms in the molecule. Additionally,
this new process depicts the electron cloud surrounding
each atom; something currently unachieved
by other products on the market.
Honorable Mention: Non-Auditory Baby Monitoring System --
Jorge Figueroa, Ryan Forbes, Ben Herrmann, Hareet Kaikini
Many baby monitoring systems are currently available in order to aid in ensuring the safety of today's children.
However, virtually all of these systems utilize auditory alerts that the deaf are unable to hear.
The non-Auditory Baby Monitoring System will provide the deaf with three separate alerts including:
a pocket vibrator, a bed vibrator, and flashing lights. A completely wireless monitoring unit that will be located
near the baby will monitor for baby cries and send a wireless message to a central unit. From the central unit signals
will be sent to either of the two vibratory devices or to the flashing light circuit.
Congratulations to all SEED Show design participants -- there were many fine projects making the judging particularly difficult. Here are additional scenes from the 2007 SEED Show.
