Medical Procedures Detection

Esha Sawant | Joshua Gonzales | Sid Ghorpade

Documentation of medical care administered to patients by emergency responders is time-consuming. Ottersoft’s answer to this problem is a wearable that detects procedures being performed from hand motions. Our capstone project was to develop a machine-learning pipeline to classify motion data collected from wearables and log the start time for the procedures. The input is motion data collected from sensors and the output is the predicted procedure by the learned model for each time segment in the data.

Anisha Jadhav | Diego Vega | Ben Woodward | Rohit Kannaujiya

Lumos is an Android app that enables neighbors to share resources in a time of need. During a power outage, some may have generators, solar power, battery backups, etc. to keep their refrigerated food from going bad. Lumos allows these households with extra space in their fridge/freezer to help neighbors in need, keeping their food or refrigerated medication from spoiling. Communal resource sharing efforts can go farther than just refrigerator space, too, as neighbors can advertise WiFi/Internet access, outlets for smart phone charging, extra flashlights and candles, and even portable generators.

Frankenweb / Measuring the Efficiency of the Operations of Sorting Algorithms

Austin Folster

We're using the Draculog tool to measure the energy cost of particular operations related to sorting algorithms, namely comparisons, shifts, and swaps. This work will allow us to predict the approximate relative energy costs of different sorting algorithms based on estimates of low-level operations. This work will also allow us to find where algorithms differ in energy efficiency, and would help give people information on energy efficiency when they are programming.

 

 

Application of Generic Algorithm to Meeting Scheduling

All new data collected will be added to a database available to cybersecurity professionals to identify potential cyber threats.

 

 

Comparing Energy Efficiency of Trees Across Programming Languages

Aiden Rougeot | Suji Hancock

The problem we’re addressing is the comparison of the energy efficiency of binary search tree and AVL tree implementations in Python, Java, and C++. Specifically, we’ve been investigating the impact of programming languages on energy efficiency. We were also interested in seeing how energy efficiency is influenced by the size of the trees. We’ve explored these questions by developing implementations of BST and AVL with consistent design philosophies in Python, Java and C++ for the purpose of comparison. We are using Draculog, a tool that measures the energy consumption of a computer while running a given program, to run several tests on the tree implementations in the three programming languages. These tests include creating trees of random data of various sizes given a size and RNG seed. We also run a specified number of searches using a mix of data that will be present and absent from the tree. Using the comparisons of results from these tests for the three implementations, we’re analyzing the patterns that have emerged.
