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.

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
"Rock-a-Bye Innovator: The CAD Design Challenge for a Revolutionary Baby Soothing Device"
We are excited to announce a CAD design competition for a groundbreaking product concept aimed at enhancing the sleep and comfort of infants. The core idea revolves around a device designed to gently sway a baby stroller back and forth, covering a distance of approximately 70 centimeters, to soothe the baby to sleep. The device, inspired by the mechanism of a hoverboard, will be placed beneath the front wheels of the stroller. It features an engine at its heart, equipped with a gear in the middle. Below the engine, there will be a wheel driven by the engine itself. On either side of the device, adjustable arms will extend to accommodate various sizes of baby strollers. At the ends of these arms, wheels will move by the inertia generated from the central wheel located under the engine. Above these, there will be channels or grooves lined with rubber, where the stroller's wheels will be placed. The rubber will secure the stroller's wheels in place, ensuring stability during the swaying motion. The design of this device must not only be functional but also visually appealing and user-friendly, encapsulating a sleek and sexy aesthetic. This competition invites all creative minds to bring this concept to life, focusing on innovation, ease of use, and overall design elegance. Participants are encouraged to push the boundaries of traditional baby product design to create a solution that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, providing parents with a new way to comfort their infants and enhance their sleep experience.
