This week we brainstormed four ideas for senior design proposal. The ideas are trigger lock, highway speeding posts, Power factor reader, Target guided quadcopters.
Trigger lock:
Some of the current trigger locks on the market are picture below.
This trigger lock is designed to block the trigger of a gun until the 3-digit passcode is imputed in order to unlock the trigger.
This trigger lock is designed to block the trigger of a gun until the key is imputed to unlock the trigger.
Our idea for the trigger lock is to provide a lock that cannot be easily broken into. For the trigger locks that are used now either require a key or a passcode which is not essentially safe. A key can be found, and a passcode can be figured out with enough determination. The idea of the trigger lock would be utilizing a finger printing scanner in order to open the trigger lock. This would provide extra security measures as well as making the trigger more assessable for the owner. The trigger lock will also be able to alert the owner if failed unlock attempts occur. This can ensure the owner can react quickly if their gun is showing activity while they are away.
Highway speeding posts:
The Jenoptik is a similar product that is being used currently. This product is able to detect the speed of an approaching car while also being a portable product.
Our product idea will be equipped with two posts which will be placed a certain distance away from each other in order to calculate the speed of a car. This will be done using sensors that will track the time is take a car to go from one post to the other. The speed of the car will the calculated by the time it takes the car to go the length of the posts. If the car is speeding through the zone the 2nd post will capture a picture of the speeding car and it will be issued a speeding ticket. The posts will be tracking a single lane but will be portable which gives the customer the opportunity to use the product in different locations.
Target Guided Quadcopters:
Some of the current quadcopters.
This quadcopter autonomously holds altitude or can be manually controlled.
Our idea for the target guided quadcopters is to make an autonomous drone that will follow a target. This will be done by having the target place the tracking pouch on their person which will provide the quadcopter with the GPS coordinates it needs to follow. The quadcopter will follow the target at a certain distance in order to provide surveillance for the target. There will be video footage provided from the quadcopter which will allow the footage to be viewed anywhere.
