Conducted 'Three type tests' on a viewport camera intended to be
mounted onto disconnect or ground switch of a Gas Insulated substation.
Tests included resilience analysis of the camera to various stimuli
such as temperature variation (-50 C to +80 C), transit drop from a
height of 48 inches and 'The Bench Handling Test' to determine the
ability of the material to withstand the normal level of shock
associated with typical bench installation, repair or maintenance.
Analyzed detailed test reports and compiled a workbook based on the
findings from these tests.

PROJECTS:
Demonstration of Elevator Door Sensors
Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken NJ
Fall 2011
Demonstrated Elevator door sensors using Sentilla Motes on JAVA ME CLDC
1.1. Initialized the motes using a programming fixture to establish their
communication. One of the motes is set as a transmitter, which senses when
there is an object between the motes and sends a signal to the receiver.
Improved and calculated the accuracy of detecting the object was 80% and
the range of sensing was accurate within a distance of meter.
