Notify: Multi-Purpose Sensor Design Blind
in 3D Modeling Design
held by aldrinc
Contest Closed
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
Wants:
Aesthetically pleasing, minimalist, functional design that meet the criteria in the attached document. Please refer to the document for more details.
Don't Wants:
Design that does not accommodate the considerations outlined in the document.
Ask for Sample:
No

#4 Notify Sensor- Elegant design
by Bstang
Hello, this is my basic design for the Notify sensor. The front screen is the cloth material same as a google home, which allows for minimal sensor obstruction. It can be replaced with a translucent plastic as well. I need more content for for your exact requirement. Please message me if this is something you're looking for or if any changes you want in the design. Thank you

#3 Concept 3 - adjusting for more contemporary design
by Decker
Here is my last entry to your contest as an example of contemporary design. I have no idea without having a conversation, what the design intent really needs to be and how a user of this device will intend to use it. Hope you enjoy the entries and hope you end up finding what your looking for.
Regards, Jamie

#2 Concept 2 - Ready for Design Review
by Decker
I prepared a second entry into your contest. This example I tried my best to work with the constraints of the board design layout which dictated approximate location for the sensors. I did change the type of USB connection I assume for charging and placed it on the side edge of the board. I am a designer fully capable of adding customer intent and additional detail needed for standoffs, snaps, draft, and fasteners for the internal design. Consider hiring me and we can explore those options together. Thanks!

#1 Concept for input - sensor case
by Decker
I was wondering if you looking for designers to aid in the selection of the sensor array your determining or whether you have already selected the size and types of sensors already? I did notice that it was not specified what side of the device you wish to position the senors? Can they be on the back and front? Another observation is maybe you want to accentuate how the senors are displayed? I assume case size maybe a factor you may want to specify as well. Anyway, I have attached a simple image and step file for my attempt. I would like more input from the customer maybe even dimensions for the electronics that go inside.

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.
- Boot is the power on/off. Reset is to reset the device to factory.

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.
Thank you
I have uploaded higher resolution photos. Thank you for the feedback!
...and which one the power button is + the diode :)
Hi, please provide a PCB picture with better resolution...very hard to read component descriptions
Thanks
Thanks

there are many vaporizers on the market, PAX,SOLO,DAVINCCI,BUT NO ONE IS ATTRACTIVE.WE NEED A NEW DESIGN,ATTRACT ALL COSUMERS
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.

Low Cost dental Chair Softgoods Design
The task at hand is to find an economic low cost method to manufacture and upholster adult dental chair soft goods. Quality and life of covering must be robust, 10+ year life. The dental chair soft goods typically consist of three major components; underlying support structure, many times this is a vacuum formed plastic element, the seat foam, and the upholstery itself (see attached photos). Dental chairs are normally divided into two main components; 1) The back structure, 2) The seating structure. Key to this design initiative, should include an alternate way of securing the leather to the underside of the chair. Most chairs currently utilize hundreds of staples to secure the fabric, this poses to problems: 1) High direct labor, 2) No way to easily replace the upholstery covering. We are seeking a new innovative design ideas for new methods of manufacture without using staples or typical snap fittings.
iPad Accessory
To create a sun visor that would fit an iPad Air 2 and the newest Pro 9.7" model. It would need to attach to the magnetic system (so that it would not fall off during windy days). And be very aesthetically pleasing. All buttons and camera should be able to be accesses when the visor is mounted.
