[macarius.net] utilizes a variety of navigational tools - a standards-compliant, DHTML scroller, developed by rod morelos, and hotkeys, which execute their respective function. Conveniently, there are also style modifications that can be implemented - style-sheet switching, and text-size alterations.

SENIOR PROJECT:
M.O.M. | Fall 2002 - Spring 2003
M.O.M. is a sensory device that, through differential GPS, will be able to determine the exact location of firefighters and detect a measure of their level of safety. This sensory device will replace the motion detectors that are currently found on firefighters' gear, namely the breathing apparatus. It will assume to take measurements of the heat, humidity, pulse, motion and other such vital information and transmit such through RF communication so as to heighten the level of awareness of the captain or safety officer to the safety of his team.

PROJECT:
Java Programming | Microprocessor Interfacing | Winter 2004
Through parallel communication between an FPGA board and a computer, switches and buttons will allow one to implement and perform tasks in a Java-based GUI.

PROJECT:
