these applications, where object detection is an imperative task in this field that is to recognizecategories of objects and label their locations. This paper presents a senior design project that implemented object detection on Raspberry Pi byrunning deep learning models, where the edge devices include Raspberry Pi 3 and 4, Model B+ (Plus)Complete Starter Kit1 and a web camera. It consists of three steps: 1) hardware configuration: it is toconfigure the Raspberry Pi and mount the web-camera on the Raspberry Pi; 2) software installation:it is to install necessary software such as TensorFlow and OpenCV; 3) deploying mobile deep learningmodels on Raspberry Pi to run object detection. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness ofthis

RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). Toimplement this project, we used the SN74LS283N 4-bit full adder IC, the SiFive HiFive1 Rev B boardthat hosts a 32-bit RISC-V processor, breadboard, LEDs, and few resistors. To program the circuit,we used Visual Studio Code with the PlatformIO extension to allow deployment and debugging of theRISC-V assembly code on the HiFive board. The goal of this project was to demonstrate the full 4-bitadder truth table by cycling through different inputs and displaying the adder output using LED lights.The input to the adder was driven by onboard GPIO pins that were actuated through RISC-V assemblycode. Using the SiFive HiFive1 Rev B manuals, we identified the base memory addresses of the GPIOpins and the

The dataset consists of SEM images of twosets of SiNW samples: (a) etched in varying concentrations of H₂O₂ at a fixed etching time of 35minutes and (b) etched for 10 to 90 minutes, in a constant 0.2M H₂O₂. Multiple images ofsamples were taken at each concentration and time. The average air/silicon ratio and its standarddeviation were calculated and plotted against the concentration of H₂O
