SenSyr News
Collabworx (www.collabworx.com) and SenSyr (www.sensyr.com) accepted the TAD (Technology Application and Demonstration) award by U.S. Congressman Dan Maffei on July 20, 2009 at The Tech Garden. The TAD award is funded by the EPA through the Syracuse Center of Excellence (www.syracusecoe.org). The project is “Open Web Services-based Indoor Climate Control System, Phase III” and principally concerns the actual implementation of the technology in laboratories and buildings. This included a number of extensions to the technology; however, these are rather modest, as the existing system is already quite advanced. The project now focuses on deployment and on application development, and addresses energy conservation and air quality in buildings while maintaining individualized comfort levels that improve employee efficiency and productivity. See previous blog entries.
SenSyr has been partnering with Collabworx (www.collabworx.com) regarding smart building systems. Two papers were presented at the CLIMA 2007 international conference in Helsinki, Finland. Our presentation won an award! Subsequently, Collabworx and SenSyr received a Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems (CoE-EES) “TAD” grant award to further develop the system in 2008.

General-Purpose Sensor Platform
This fun project received honorable mention in Circuit Cellar’s Design Stellaris 2006 Contest. Speed and heading are monitored. The controller can change the pedal resistance in response to elevation information and vary the air flow from two DC fans according to the speed of the bicycle. The speed and heading information is fed into Google Earth.
