Description:
I have a provisional patent and am looking for help to make a prototype. The device should have two digital tuners controlled by a computer, each capable of receiving digital radio signal and digital ID co-broadcasted by radio stations. The computer uses one tuner to scan radio frequencies and sorts available radio signals based on station name, program genre, and music group. This device should be able to find a radio station based on station name rather than by frequency. Some national radio stations such as Public Radio broadcast on multiple frequencies on overlapping terrains. In a moving vehicle, when the signal deteriorates on one frequency, this device should be able to use the second tuner to scan for better signal and achieve seamless transition from one frequency to another without interrupting the program by switching the roles of the two tuners.
Wants:
A functional digital radio receiver capable of:
1) tuning in to a radio station based on station name, program genre, or music group co-broadcasted by radio stations;
2) maintain the best reception of a radio station broadcasting on multiple frequencies.
Ask for Sample:
If you can put together a functional prototype, I will reimburse you for material costs in addition to the prize, plus 10% share of the patent.
Software:
  1. any

That sounds great. Please check out this paper by Gautam Das and Udayan Umapathi:

The main modification one would need is dual tuners controlled by a CPU instead of a single tuner, and the software code for tuning by digital ID instead of by frequency.

i could help you to make a functional design. Im a product designer and ill be glad to talk with you.
we could present a 3D model with functions frist and when it will be approved , we could start to make a protoype.

all the specifics are listed above and in attached ppt slides. It should be quite doable for someone with EE background. I need a working prototype and will pay for material cost plus price money.

yes, it is open contest. We need a design to demonstrate the feasibility of the concept.

Server 3D Explosion
I need to have a server created to match an existing piece of art, which is an exploded touch screen. Unfortunately the designer is no longer available who created the exploded touch screen. The design should match the look at feel as much as possible and use the same colors and style to show an exploded 1U server.
Keep the Racoons out of the Garbage Cans
We would like to figure out an easy attachment to put on a standard Uline trash to keep at a minimum, racoons out of the can. Uline Model H-7937BL. The lid that opens 270° on molded hinges. 65 Gallon L27 x W27 x H44"Weight is 29lbs. Ideally this would fit numerous trash cans. We have seen straps, but we are looking for something that keeps it closed by just shutting the lid but will allow the can to open with the weight of the garbage inside when a truck picks it up and flips it. Let's put the weight of the garbage at min. 20lb

Stair climber
Problem: Many people who are dependent on crutches have a difficult time navigating stairs. The risk of falls and severe injury are considerable, and in the acutely-injured or post-operative patient, these risks are oftentimes compounded by pain, post-operative dizziness, and narcotic usage. Most patients who are concerned about falling scoot up backwards on their buttocks, using their palms to propel them up one step at a time. Solution: A padded rectangular box that spans two step risers with a handle to lift it up to each successive step. The device is largely rectangular and the lower-step portion is wide and flat enough to allow it to be stable when on a flat non-step surface, such as a landing. Design parameters: Legally, stair risers must be between 6 and 7.5 inches in height, with a width minimum of 22 inches. A typical step is 11 inches in depth. The lower stair portion should be at least as long as the upper stair length, to make standing on the device while on a flat landing more stable. The device should have multiple 1/2" slide-in/click-on element for the upper stair portion to adjust for differences in stair heights. This is not currently in my drawings
