Predictive Stability Control: Designing Safer, Smarter Cars of the Future
Judy Hsu

Worldwide, an estimated 1.2 million people are killed in road crashes each year and as many as 50 million are injured. My work involves designing the future of stability control systems on cars, which aim to prevent accidents by enabling drivers to maintain control of their vehicles. Inspired by both racecar drivers and flight control systems, I have designed and implemented a new predictive stability control system that keeps your vehicle within a safe handling envelope.

Judy Hsu received her B.S. in Engineering at Harvey Mudd College, and will complete her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University in March this year. After her Ph.D., she will join McKinsey as a management consultant in the San Francisco office. A true foodie at heart, Judy finds joy in cooking and good wine, and strives to lead a happy, balanced life. Other passions include travel, shopping, snorkeling, jogging, and catching up with friends.

Developing a New Way to Give Back a Sense of Touch Through Skin Stretch: How We Can Help Amputees Feel Again
Karlin Bark

We live in an increasingly technologically mobile environment where personal devices fit easily in our pockets and information is literally at our fingertips. The desire for smaller, more interactive devices is growing rapidly. Haptics, the study of our sense of touch and touch interaction, remains a small part of the human/machine interaction field dwarfed by visual and acoustic display, yet it is an essential part of our daily interactions. In this workshop, I will discuss the design, development, and validation of a new wearable haptic device that utilizes our sense of skin stretch to convey motion to a user where potential applications include providing amputees with a sense of motion of their prosthetic limb.

Karlin Bark is a Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University working under Professor Mark Cutkosky in the Biomimetics and Dexterous Manipulation Laboratory. Karlin received her B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2003 and her M.S. degree at Stanford University in 2005 with a focus on design methodology and controls. When not pondering the challenges of skin stretch, she enjoys keeping up to date on the latest pop culture in movies and television and spending quality time with her friends and family.

Outlook on MEMS Pressure Sensors
Nicole Kerness

It is amazing that from 2008 forward all cars sold in the US will require tires equipped with the ability to monitor pressure, based on the TREAD Act. In most cases they will have a small pressure sensor inside. One of the smallest on the market today is made here in Silicon Valley and is a 0.65 um cube. In addition to automotive, there are a growing number of applications in the medical field. An overview of these small microelectromechanical system (MEMS) pressure sensors will be presented. Next, current technologies, types, and challenges will be discussed. Finally, specific pressure sensor applications in the medical market will be reviewed.
