Description
This document introduces the need for the Rest Egg system and defines an accessible method of smartphone integration. Excessive noise can prevent recovering patients and special needs persons from resting correctly. The Rest Egg was designed for these people- people who are in critical need of quality rest but are often unable to eliminate stressors themselves. This system ensures their environment is calm by alerting caretakers' smartphones if noise reaches abrasive levels. Smartphones were the preferred device due to the wide spread of such devices in today's market. After making open sourcing a goal, something ubiquitous and affordable \u2014 yet usable and dependable \u2014 was necessary for the alert system. These requirements lead to the election an online alert service: Pushover, a trademark and product of Superblock, LLC.

Description
A primary need of Forensic science is to individualize missing persons that cannot be identified after death. With the use of advanced technology, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) implant chips can drastically improve digital tracking and enable robust biological and legal identification. In this paper, I will discuss applications between different microchip technologies and indicate reasons why the RFID chip is more useful for forensic science. My results state that an RFID chip is significantly more capable of integrating a mass volume of background information, and can utilize implanted individuals’ DNA profiles to decrease the missing persons database backlogs. Since today’s society uses a lot of digital devices that can ultimately identify people by simple posts or geolocation, Forensic Science can harness that data as an advantage to help serve justice for the public in giving loved ones closure.

Description
Metallically embedded dendritic structures have the potential to become a cost-effective means of conducting microwave frequency identification. They are grown quickly and contain no extra circuitry. However, their reaction to microwave frequency signatures has been unknown. Fractals Unlimited (the thesis group) aimed to test the viability of the dendritic structures to produce unique electromagnetic signatures through the transmission and reflection of microwaves. This report will detail the work that was done by one team member throughout the last two semesters.

Description
When exposed to radiation, many electronic components become damaged and operate incorrectly. Making sure these components are resistant to radiation effects is especially important for components used in space flight operations. At low dose rates, a phenomenon known as the enhanced low dose rate sensitivity (ELDRS) effect causes an increase in current within linear bipolar circuits. This increase in current is not desirable for space flight operations. Correctly selecting radiation hardened components or figuring out how to deal with the effects for space operation is important, however, radiation testing each component is very expensive and time consuming. To further the future of space travel, a more efficient way of testing is highly desired by the space industry.
A low-cost and time-efficient solution is the IMPACT tool. The Multiscale Tool for Modeling Radiation Effects in Linear Bipolar Circuits project aims to improve the existing IMPACT tool for radiation simulation. This tool contains a database of commonly used linear bipolar circuits and allows the user to model the radiation effects. Currently the tool is not very easy to use and the circuit database is limited. The team’s goal and overall outcome of the project is to deliver the IMPACT tool with a user-friendly interface and an expanded circuit database. The team is using multiple tools to improve the overall appearance of the IMPACT tool and running simulations to collect any necessary data for the database expansion.
In our thesis, Kerri and Kylie are using LTSpice simulations to expand the database. Cheyenne is using TCAD modeling to create TCAD models of transistors and compare them with her other group member’s simulations.
