Dear Friends
We are a group of 5 engineering students looking for a neat project
ideas. Prefebably biomedical project becasue it is out instructor
interest. I was wondering if any of you guys have a nice new idea
that might want to share with us.
Thank you

for it's operation..
OR
How about a translator that allow us to "see" in other parts of the sprectum.
Ever wonder what it would look like at night, if you could "see" radio waves?
How about being able to 'see' the earth's magnetics field?

remote control with a timer. I would use this to
syncronize turn-on and channel select of a cable
box, VCR, and television.
You could add to this a 'puff' interface, so
quadraplegics could use it to watch TV. With
an X10 interface, they could control lights.
OR -- an LED based comm system that could be
implanted in a patient. The inside part would
blink an LED. The outside part would be placed
on top of the skin against the LED, and 'read'
the data. Data collected could be temperature,
blood pressure, etc. logged over a long term.
OR -- build a distance to sound converter. This
would work like a 'radar', with audible output,
which got higher as things got closer. The user
could 'scan' it around his surroundings, to
determine how far away things were. You'd need
a 'focussed beam', so the user could 'scan'
it and get directionality of response.

My idea would be to make a smart caller ID box that would filter /
reject calls by the name or by the prefix. In that way you could block
telemarketers that call from different numbers or that use different
names to thwart normal efforts to block them. It would be a medical
device because your blood pressure would be lower from not dealing with
the morons.

which can be programmed -- ie, I can tweak
the code myself. I've been looking for this
for some time. Of course, I've been wanting
to spend $50.00 or less for such a product.
Also, the 'learning remote' part is so I can
control an IR tape deck, and stereo receiver,
(both by different manufacturers) and record
the Diane Reihm show.
It MUST contain a good timer so it can turn
things on and off on a timed basis.
So no, I havn't seen this combination of
features in any off the shelf product. Not
VCR+, nor VCR Co-Pilot (only does ONE program,
AND it won't control my cassetted deck).
But thanks for the attempt. If it does exist
off-the-shelf, I'd like to know about it.

the skin, or from a small blood sample like a finger stick, you could make a
cancer detector. I know this sounds crazy but 90% of all human cancer
expresses telomerase within and on the surface of the cell, while normal
ones generally do not express it. This of course would be more of a career
than a project,,, but you wouldn't have to work anymore if it worked out.
I'm qualified to help you with the latter task. :-)

I think it would be much more interesting to come up with a device that
would make diane not sound like kate hepburn after 9 beers, but what do I
know? It seems odd that you'd want to actually record it.

heart rate, blood pressure ? that sort of thing.
could be used for atheletes for monitoring their workout, or at-rist
patients going for a walk/jog.
connect it to the caller-id idea and it would hang up the phone with
any high signals.
btw, if you make these, does the one who gave you the idea get some
honorable mention, and maybe a finished unit ?

although healthy cells don't express it on the cell surface, it would
be hard to distinguish between the two situations. Also, the red
blood cells in blood wouldn't be cancerous themselves (so you
wouldn't see the telomerase on blood cell surfaces), and if there was
excess telomerase in the blood (having 'washed' off of cancerous
cells), it wouldn't help in localizing the cancer.

expression of cancer on the surface of the cell and send the immune system
after it. It's called TVAX and it's just starting up a phase 2 human trial.
It kills cancer cells that express telomerase. In phase one trial it
appears to have done a good job of eliminating metastatic prostate cancer
cells. So there must be some valid surface expression. Since the physical
binding properties for the surface expression of telomerase might be known
and available, it could be that a cheaper substance could be used to mark
bad cells for detection,, cheaper than the vaccine or the telomerase
inhibitors (same company). The sheer presence of a quantity x of telomerase
will become a pretty positive test for cancer. Geron's vaccine reduced
cancer cells in the blood by up to a thousand fold. That was after only 3
injections of the vaccine which is derived from the patients own blood. As
I understand it the toxicity is nearly zero. The company has developed both
a vaccine and telomerase inhibitors, and also a oncovirus that ONLY targets
cancer cells. They just got a milestone payment from Novartis so its valid.
Look at www.geron.com It would be great to make a machine that was a lot
cheaper than the current process to detect cancer. I called Geron today
and suggested that they use their telomerase detection methods combined with
human cell cultures to make a product that would test new and existing
chemicals for cancer/telomerase promotion. This is pretty new stuff and I'm
only getting it from press releases and message boards for the stock , but I
believe this company has an intimate knowledge of the external expression of
telomerase. If the map of that expression were known, you could find
something else to bind to it that would work with sensing equipment?? Stamp
based of course.

the possibility of a biomedical sensor that lived in your toilet. It could
take your temp, pulse, and blood pressure, etc... directly from your tushie.
Then it would check your fluids for ketones, glucose levels, blood, acidity,
etc... Essentially a full scan of what's happening in your gastro system
with each flush. It could also check for fluid and solids volume, to monitor
fluid in/out and that sort of thing. I'm not a medical guy, but to an
Industrial/Process guy, the human body is like a really compact factory with
all sorts of interesting processes running internally.
Yes, I know it would be over the top for home bathrooms, but for hospital
and extended care situations, it could be very helpful. You would scan in
your wrist-band so your "Johnny Doc" would know some visitor wasn't making
unknow contributions.
Technically this would use a whole variety of sensor technologies, some
existing, and some which need to be invented... and certainly a Stamp could
read the sensors, do the data logging, scan the badges and engage the
flush/reset solenoid.

students record horizontal eye movements using disposable surface
electrodes at the outer corners of each eye, with a reference electrode
on the forehead. As the eye turns in the orbit, a millivolt-level
dipole potential is generated, and can be picked up by the electrodes (a
technique called electro-oculography). Amplifying this with an overall
gain of about 3000 produces a bidirectional signal in the volt range.
If this is of interest, contact me off-list for circuit details.

When I wrote a term paper on the history of the toilet in college, I
referenced an April 1991 Reader's Digest article (pg 145-146) called
"Bowl with a Brain." For $7,000 you could get a toilet that would give
you a mini physical.

I am building a series of drifting bouys placed in the Gulf Stream and tracked
via satellite. The first just provides position information. However the future
units should provide voltage, water temp and salinity info.
If interested, I could use a hand on a stamp based data acquisition unit for the
bouy.....

Don't forget to leave room for an additional sensor.
someone needs to detect for Jonah.

I actually wrote a colum years ago for a tech magazine where I talked about
the possibility of a biomedical sensor that lived in your toilet. It could
take your temp, pulse, and blood pressure, etc... directly from your tushie.
Then it would check your fluids for ketones, glucose levels, blood, acidity,
etc... Essentially a full scan of what's happening in your gastro system
with each flush. It could also check for fluid and solids volume, to monitor
fluid in/out and that sort of thing. I'm not a medical guy, but to an
Industrial/Process guy, the human body is like a really compact factory with
all sorts of interesting processes running internally.
Yes, I know it would be over the top for home bathrooms, but for hospital
and extended care situations, it could be very helpful. You would scan in
your wrist-band so your "Johnny Doc" would know some visitor wasn't making
unknow contributions.
Technically this would use a whole variety of sensor technologies, some
existing, and some which need to be invented... and certainly a Stamp could
read the sensors, do the data logging, scan the badges and engage the
flush/reset solenoid.

Actually, since the move is to implant people with microchips for
identification, that would acutally offer an Internet Toilet. OK, I
may not want to be on that chat-room, but the user/contributor's ID
could be scanned and the results could be filled to the appropriate
IP address.
Now, if you can get it on-line so my last contribution of the evening
say, after a night in the bar watching Monday Night Football, would
result in the correct amount of Tylenol in the morning for the
hangover..... you gotta a makret !
