(DFPL) technique [1]-[9] based on sensor nodes set up as radiotransceivers to transmit and receive radio frequency signals within the wireless sensor network(WSN). The images of the objects or entities (also called targets or obstructions) are formed fromthe attenuation in received signal strength (RSS) of the radio frequency signal along the path orlink between each transmitting sensor node and each of the receiver nodes. The presence ofstationary or non-stationary entities within the radio frequency network leads to changes in themeasured RSS levels at the receiver nodes in the network. Radio frequency signals can travelthrough physical obstructions, but unlike x-rays, introduce significant non-line-of-sight ormultipath propagation. In indoor

effective for the establishment.The rack will be placed outside, meaning that it needs to be weatherproof, and it needs to be outof the way of major traffic going in and out of the building. The rack also needs to have theability to secure the boards. The rack cannot be permanently fixed to one spot.After constraining the problem, metrics were created in order to evaluate the effectiveness of thelongboard rack. Shown below in Figure 1 are the results collected from a survey sent out to thecollege of engineering by the team. The survey will be discussed in more detail in thebackground section of the report. The results shown are in response to the question, “What timedo you longboard to class?” Figure 1: Frequency of longboarders

Some newapplications include gesture recognition, driver monitoring systems and blind spot detection.FPGA flexibility provides flexible design for evolving In-Vehicle Experience.The Standards and requirements for high performance embedded system applications likeAdvanced Driver Assisted Systems (ADAS) are evolving. There is a need for flexibility, fasterdevelopment cycles, and a high performance for real time automotive control [1-7]. Bycombining reprogrammable FPGAs with an expanding range of automotive

: heterogeneity (nominal group) and inequality (graduated status) (Blau1977).Heterogeneity can be measured by “the distribution of a population among groups in terms of anominal parameter” and calculated as an index (HI) by equation (1): ∑ 𝑥𝑖2 𝐻𝐼 = 1 − (1) (∑ 𝑥𝑖 )2where 𝑥𝑖 is the number of individuals in the ith group, and the sum is taken over all the groups.The heterogeneity index starts at 0 if all the individuals belong to only one group (uniformity)and increases up to 1 as the number of groups with even numbers of members increases (i.e., ifevery individual is taken as a different singular group).
