Description:
Notify is an intelligent multi-purpose sensor that determines occupancy and activity in an environment. Notify's target audience is home owners so the device must be both functional and elegant. Notify uses deep learning on data streams from over 12 different sensors in order to determine occupancy and classify activities in a given environment. The aim of this contest is to develop a robust enclosure design for Notify that satisfies the requirements listed below. Pictures of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) are attached below and include both front and back views with annotations indicating each sensors location. The PCB is 60 mm long and 50 mm wide, so the design should accommodate that size.

Design Inspiration based on current motion sensors available on the market: drive.google.com/open

Hi Ankit I don't have a CAD design. Sorry!

Hi Aldrinc!
Can you attach CAD model of PCB? (If possible)

We cannot cover the EMI, Thermal, and RGB sensors with a cloth as then they cannot function.

1. It is to provide the power on/off button? On PCB I see "reset" and "boot" ;
- Boot is the power on/off. Reset is to reset the device to factory.

2. Please specify the power and debug LEDs location on PCB;
- You can place them where you want and we will modify the case design to match - I do not want them in front of the device however because it will be obtrusive and this device needs to be out of mind.



3. Does the PIR sensor require a specific fringed lens or sufficient thin PE plastic lenses?
- Thin PE lens works

4. Can the EMI, Thermo Cam and RGB sensors be covered the same thin lens as the PIR sensor?
- No - the EMI thermo and RGB cannot be covered by PE lens

5. Does the case must have AC in and AC outlet connectors?
- I am moving to USB-C instead of AC outlet connectors so design with a female USB-C port (like bottom of iPhone) in mind.

7. Is the device used only in the wall plugged position?
- This device should have a mount so that it can be used in other positions.

8. Pleas specify EMI senosrs model, I need his dimensions.
- See the sensor V2 document attached which has sensor specifications.

1. Where's the thermal camera sensor located? Is it on separate module?
- the Thermal camera is located on the board - I am open to recommended placement on the board.
2. Is it powered by battery or A/C inlet?
AC Outlet
3. If powered by battery, what type and size?
N/A since its AC outlet

POWER, TX, RX etc (red on PCB), are these LEDs?
If so, do they need to be visible?
If not, are there any LEDs that need to be visible indicating on/off or other conditions?

Just saw the spreadsheet, Don't worry about the sensors

Hey there, Can you specify the Thickness of the PCB so that the mounts it fits snug in the enclosure.If you can, please provide the Dimension constraints for the enclosure. The Placement position and the dimensions of the sensors, on the enclosure would be a lot appreciated.

Hi, please provide a PCB picture with better resolution...very hard to read component descriptions
Thanks

Bottle Boxer
We currently box 6 little bottles by hand and would like to automate the procedure. We box 3000 gift pack a day. Our current procedure is: We lay down 300 open boxes on a table and put each bottle one at the time inside the box. We would like to automate this process. Currently, the bottles are just put in bins and we grab them by hand. Or we can have them nicely standing up in a custom made bins that are open at the front.

End product is a flat pack clear (acrylic box) - without one side. 5 clear plastic sheets snap together to make a box without any tools and for it to be fairly easy to assemble and dismantle but when assembled for it to remain sturdy.

Angled Keyboard Slide
The design requires a clean simple method with minimized parts and manufacturing costs. Product is low volume, 250 to 500 pieces per year. We are interested in minimizing capital tooling costs. Design challenge is to design a keyboard slide platform that sits at a 32.5 degree angle (see attached documents). Keyboard slide needs to easily lock in upward position when not in use, and needs to easily be released and slide downward when in use. The keyboard slide is on a cart platform, so when the cart is being moved around, if it gets bumped, we do not want the keyboard slide to dislodge and slip into the down position.
