Results of the 9th Annual BME Bio-Tech Competition The 9th Annual BME Bio-Tech Contests 2007 took place
February 3, 2007. This year's theme of the contest was to develop and present a concept
using Electrical, Electronic, Biomedical, and/or Electro-Optics to assist a
persons' disability - or to improve a persons' ability to manage tasks that
usually require assistance. The contest focus is on students' individual ideas
and in particular, the contest provides a forum for these future engineers to
share those ideas that focus on technology assisted care. Sponsored by IEEE Coastal LA Section and IEEE Los
Angeles Council,. The finalists and their presentations/projects, as selected by a panel
of judges:
1st
place
Jason McDowell
“Design of a Color
Sensing System to Aid the Color Blind”
2nd place
Diana Mamaril
“Posture Correction
Device Using Tilt Switch”
3rd place
Saravana Kumar Raman
“Correlation of Pulmonary
Acoustics and Flow/Volume Loops Indicators”
4th place
Ali Sleiman
“Analyzing ECG waveform
with Artificial Neural Network by MATLAB” (The results were announced at the recognition banquet.) Congratulations to the finalists.
The Contest Panel members and/or judges (not more that one per participating institution) were: Dr. Bogdan Kuszta, Caltech; Mr. Jack Iverson, IEEE/EMBS; Dr. Richard Cockrum, CSUP; Dr. Ernesto Suaste, CINVESTAV-IPN; Dr. Fleur Tehrani, CSUF; Dr. Dennis M.
