The number of students enrolled in project courses offered by the Department of Informatics at UCI grows significantly each year. To improve the experiences of the professors and officials managing these courses, we developed Zivbase. It consists of a public website to improve recruitment efforts and showcase projects, and a web application to remain informed about teams, projects, and interactions with contacts in a centralized archive.

The Sign Language Translator is a glove that translates sign language to text and speech in real time. The glove is outfitted with an Arduino Lilypad, Accelerometer, Flex Sensors and Contact Sensors. Values from these sensors are sent via bluetooth to an iPhone application which predicts and displays the translated gesture. Through the application, users are able to calibrate the glove and view the translation.

HemaDycamics utilizes intellectual property developed at UCI’s Beckman Laser Institute for its portable blood flow imaging modality: the HemaFlow Imaging System. The aim is to provide a quality device for the measurement of blood flow in chronic wounds driven by the customer’s needs. With early diagnosis and treatment, the formation of DFUs can be prevented, improving patient lives. Our patent-pending product will be the first handheld device capable of providing the much-desired information to physicians to aid in blood flow visualization at a reduced cost.

The Multi-wing rotary propulsion engine (MWRPE) is an innovative design that uses a fluid mechanism discovered through observation of flapping wings. This mechanism takes advantage of induced flow created by separation of two flexible wings or a flexible wing and a rigid wall. By repeating this mechanism many times around a cylindrical axis, the MWRPE is able to maximize thrust through a fluid medium.

Students: Nathan Cabezut, Fernando Pablo Quevedo

The UC Irvine Rocket Project is a collegiate rocketry team that is developing liquid propellant rockets. The team is currently composed of all undergraduate students in different engineering majors. The experiential learning associated with the project prepares students for successful engineering careers. In 2017, Base 11 became a partner of the UCI Rocket Project. Their gracious donation enabled the construction of the UCI Rocket Lab and enabled the team to join in the Base 11 Space Challenge.
