By day, I am a cardiovascular surgery nurse and by night I am an electronics learner and tinkerer. I decided to combine both of my loves into one project – a cardiac simulator. It is my hope that it will become a good resource for both healthcare givers as well as patients. Healthcare givers can use the cardiac simulator as an

A Propeller-based attitude estimation device embeddable into low cost remote control (RC) airplanes for hobby-grade UAV application is presented. The system senses and controls the aircraft’s attitude (pitch and roll) to maintain level flight and guides the aircraft toward a pre-loaded GPS waypoint.
