DemocraCycle
Allows the enthusiastic bicycling community to utilize citizen science data collection in order to show where infrastructure upgrades like bicycle lanes would be the most useful. We are hoping to use data recorded through audio, accelerometers, and a short three point questionnaire to create a user-annotated mapping system that bicyclists to share their data and thoughts with city planners so that they can make more informed decisions about how best to help local adopters of the fastest growing mode of transportation in the United States.

Francois BarBot: Mechanical Bartender
The Francois BarBot is an efficient at-home automatic bartender; it pours 4 different liquids at the same time, makes 6 drinks without human intervention, stirs, ices, and can be used remotely. A website user interface allows people to place drink orders remotely and make their own custom drink. A local user interface provides user control over the system, visually shows the progress of the drinks, verbally tells you when the drinks are ready and verbally tells jokes.

Linked Legal Data
Linked Data is attracting increasing attention because it provides machine-readable meaning to Web data making it better understandable and searchable by computers. This project implements the Linked Data technology on the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) published by Cornell Legal Information Institute (LII). The focus of this project is on linking Title 7 of the CFR to the Geonames and Agrovoc ontologies to support unambiguous identification of geographic locations and organisms existing in the text corpus of this title.

MoodRhythm
MoodRhythm is a multi-platform software application designed to help individuals with mental illness, primarily Bipolar Disorder, manage their condition and live more normal, more rhythmic lives. The core concept of the application is focused around 'rhythmicity' - essentially, staying in rhythm and becoming consistent in one's daily life. We encourage rhythmicity through the use of a tool developed by Dr. Monk and colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh called Social Rhythm Metric or SRM for short.

NetCore Verification Tool
The goal of this project is to build a verification tool for the NetCore language. NetCore is a high-level, network language for expressing packet-forwarding policies on software-defined networks. We have built a verification tool that automatically checks reachability properties for NetCore programs. The tool works by encoding NetCore programs into first-order logic with fixed points.

Pick2Pay
The Pick2Pay App helps consumers identify which credit card they have that gives the best rewards for that particular transaction. This can be conducted anywhere and for any type of business on any device. For example, if a shopper is paying for their groceries, they can see which of their credit cards they should use to get the most rewards. Additionally, they are recommended credit cards with better rewards that they could apply for.

Portable light field camera using angle-sensitive pixels
A prototype portable camera capable of capturing light field information has been constructed. The 0.1 MP camera utilizes the Talbot effect relating incident angle and output intensity across a diffraction grating to reconstruct a full light field image from a single lens. This type of device enables significant possibilities in computational photography, including computational refocus of images and passive 3D range mapping. In particular, this device is significantly cheaper and easier to manufacture than similar commercial light field cameras.

Public Spheres: Ideas Taking Shape
Public Spheres is an asynchronous online deliberation web prototype inspired by argument maps. The interface allows creating a hierarchy of nested supporting and opposing arguments in a discussion and separates the evaluation of an argument's constructive writing quality from agreement with its content. A pilot study suggests strengths of the prototype, e.g., allowing accountability while maintaining anonymity of contributors, as well as weaknesses, e.g., a missing "neutral" category and not enough reuse of existing arguments.

SAFE BET: The Shewanella Assay for Extended Biomonitoring of Environmental Toxins
Canadian oil sands are a vast oil reserve that, given rising prices of petroleum, are an attractive alternative to traditional sources of crude oil. However, there are numerous public health and environmental concerns regarding the oil sands extraction process. One environmental concern is the contamination of Canadian watersheds by tailings ponds. To better monitor this issue, we have engineered a novel biosensing platform with the electroactive bacterial species Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, which has the unique capability to directly transfer electrons to solid-state electrodes.

Self-Aware Smart Phone Applications in Bipolar Intervention
The goal of this project is to develop an Android application that detects low level interactions, such as how often a person turns on the phone and what applications they use, in order to identify whether these interaction patterns vary according to mood. This approach can provide a low cost method to passively monitor emotional health and could have broad applications to other areas including stress and procrastination

Stress Sense
As part of a research project named “Stress Sense”, we developed a web interface that visualizes a wide array of features with the intention of motivating self-reflection among users. Data was provided by an Android program, which consisted of 1.) time, 2.) location, 3.) sensed activity (e.g. walking, running, sitting), 4.) sensed stress level in user’s voice, 5.) Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) sensor data, and 6.) user-recorded stress levels in both the Taylor and PAM scales.

StuffSwap
We aim to create a persistence of vision (POV) globe, controlled by an Arduino micro-controller, which is capable of displaying an image created by spinning LEDs. Persistence of vision (POV) refers to the phenomenon in which people retain an afterimage for a 10th to a 15th of a second after light leaves the retina. We cannot detect changes in light which occur at a frequency above this threshold. POV displays take advantage of this phenomenon by turning LEDs on and off at very specific intervals and moving them quickly enough to create what appears to be a persistent image.
