Working apart, the students relied heavily on technology to communicate. Besides using Webex and Zoom to meet once or twice a week, they used an application called Notion to brainstorm and manage their project. A program named Miro served as a collaborative online whiteboard and GitHub was used to develop the application for the mask.<\/p>\n
This summer, the students entered the RespDetect mask in a design competition sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Circuits and Systems Society (IEEE CASS). The contest, which had a COVID-19 theme, attracted entries from students all over the world.<\/p>\n
Projects were judged on technical quality, creativity, completion, and relevance to the circuits and systems technology.<\/p>\n
On Sept. 7, it was announced that the team from 溏心vlog免费B站 captured third place. The first place prize went to a team from France and a team from Sri Lanka won second place.<\/p>\n
All three winning teams are invited to present their work at the IEEE International Virtual Symposium on Circuits & Systems on Oct. 10. The event is considered the world\u2019s premiere networking forum for researchers in the fields of theory, design and implementation of circuits and systems.<\/p>\n
With the help of Mankodiya and Sodhi, the students are pursuing the possibility of having the sensing and signal processing used on the project patented.<\/p>\n
“We hope to come up with an inexpensive licensing model to fund this project sustainably, while also enabling improved access to high quality personal protective equipment for patients and frontline healthcare workers,” said Ravichandran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 September 22, 2020 \u2013 Health agencies recommend wearing a face mask to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 to others.
