Student WikiID 502-Project 0 Current Task Chaput, Melissa A. [HCC Group 4] Workcentre XD130df xerox Research and disassembling a printer [Jonathan D.] Group 1 Brother MFC-5980CN Printer Disassemble printer and Identify parts Fleri, Salvatore G. HP Photosmart C6200 All-in-One Printer Research About Printer Guillaume, Ruggieri Group #2. HP Photosmart printer C6200 We took the printer serial number, we look it up online in order to know which tools is required to take it apart.And we also take pictures of different angles of the printer. Hotz, Gabrielle E. [HCC Group 4] Disassemble printer Lamin, Abu Group #3 We first research parts of the printer and how they work.I found that HHc has a software called Open SCAD which is a softwarw that allows you to make 3D software. It a software that focus more on CAD spects than on the artistic aspect. In other word it more useful for someone who is making 3D model rather than someone who wants to make a animated movie Leggs, Brian E. Medina, Stephen F. [HCC Group 4] Take apart printer and analyze the parts. Messiha, John Group 1 Brother MFC-5980CN Disassembling and identifying all parts of a printer Minnick, Nathan W. Group #3 hp LaserJet 4100dtn printer Assist other group members in disassembling the printer and identify the components. Murhutta, Robin K. [HCC Group 4] Xerox WorkCentre130df conclude printer breakdown. picture/video taking and finishing documentation. Patel, Shivam Group #1 Printer: Brother MFC 5980CN Helping my group disassembling the printer and identifying the parts and saving them for the future projects. Utsav Patel Group #3 Assist other group members in the deconstruction of the printer and documentation of the task Spade, Brodie Group #3 Record video and photograph the deconstruction of the printer in order to document this process. Staggers, Michael J. Group #1 Disassembling Brother MFC-5890CN and identifying the parts. Zaidi, Mohammed J. Group 2 Disassemble a HP Photosmart C6200 All-in-One series

Projects

Top Five Choices for 2014

In sections below you will find many project but here I am trying to provide top five choices for you. These are not in order of importance or difficulty:

1. A electro-mechanical model of the lung with breathing simulation [What will you need to learn? Mechanical: Yes, Electronics: Yes, Programming: No]
2. FlexVolt - An EMG Sensor For Physical Therapy and Biohacking [What will you need to learn? Mechanical: No, Electronics: Yes, Programming: Yes]
3. Biomedical Sensor Applications with Arduino [What will you need to learn? Mechanical: No, Electronics: Yes, Programming: Yes]
4. Arduino based Tic-Tac-Toe Single Player. See this for a simpler design: Arduino based Tic-Tac-Toe. Here is another design [What will you need to learn? Mechanical: No, Electronics: Yes, Programming: Yes]
5. Build an arduino based robot with multiple behaviors. See for example, Building a Simple Arduino Robot [What will you need to learn? Mechanical: Yes, Electronics: Yes, Programming: Yes]

In addition to the above projects, if you have your own ideas, discuss with me during class time.

Biomedical Engineering Projects
