Novel small display using ferrofluid deformations as a visual information vector

2011
Student Projects

Abstract

Ferrofluids are suspensions of ferromagnetic nano-particles in a fluid carrier (typically oil). They have the property to change their shape when subjected to a magnetic field following the flux lines. Often used in design and art, the goal of this project is to develop a new kind of small screen (few cm) capable of displaying visual information using ferrofluid deformations. The aim is the design of a matrix of 15 pixels (3x5) capable of displaying distinct numbers and characters. Outer dimensions should not exceed 3x5 cm and the power consumption should be minimized. This project involves the design and optimization of specific electromagnets and the development of a control electronic board.

Project

A project is any undertaking, carried out individually or collaboratively and possibly involving research or design, that is carefully planned to achieve a particular goal. An alternative view sees a project managerially as a sequence of events: a "set of interrelated tasks to be executed over a fixed period and within certain cost and other limitations". A project may be a temporary (rather than a permanent) social system (work system), possibly staffed by teams (within or across organizations) to accomplish particular tasks under time constraints.

Project management

Project management is the process of leading the work of a team to achieve all project goals within the given constraints. This information is usually described in project documentation, created at the beginning of the development process. The primary constraints are scope, time, and budget. The secondary challenge is to optimize the allocation of necessary inputs and apply them to meet pre-defined objectives. The objective of project management is to produce a complete project which complies with the client's objectives.

Project manager

A project manager is a professional in the field of project management. Project managers have the responsibility of the planning, procurement and execution of a project, in any undertaking that has a defined scope, defined start and a defined finish; regardless of industry. Project managers are first point of contact for any issues or discrepancies arising from within the heads of various departments in an organization before the problem escalates to higher authorities, as project representative.
