thrive, expand and succeed. Since being inaugurated in 2010,
Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (TIEC)
boosts innovation in ICT companies so as to contribute
significantly to the national economy and compete in the
global marketplace.
TIEC launched a cluster of initiatives to recognize and
establish the foundation of innovation and entrepreneurship,
and empower business. Initiatives are identified by close collaboration with diverse stakeholders
from NGOs, MNCs, donors, investors, universities, startups, etc.
TIEC understands the power and value of tapping into the full spectrum of ideas and abilities that
people possess that leads to true insights and innovative practices. The center invests money,
technology and resources to support the growth of up-and-coming innovators, entrepreneurs as
well as start-ups. In this sequence, TIEC promotes innovation culture among university graduates by
organizing competitions that inject innovative ideas and talents into the ICT industry besides
encouraging young people develop novel solutions compatible with current technologies and
industries.
Ibtiecar 2012 competition embodies the role of TIEC in bolstering and marketing university
graduates’ innovative ideas to companies. Companies may incubate, develop and drive such ideas
to higher maturity levels. Technology categories of Ibtiecar included software engineering,

Field/ Area: Kinect
Sponsor: Microsoft
Project Contacts:
Project Idea and Novelty:
A program for general gesture recognition is presented and
tested with isolated signs of sign language. Other than
common systems for sign language recognition, this
framework makes use of Kinect, a depth sensor developed by
Microsoft and PrimeSense, which features easy extraction of
important body parts.
Recognition is done using hidden Markov models with a
discrete observation probability. The program also offers an
easy way of initializing and training new gestures or signs by
performing them several times in front of the camera. Results
show a recognition rate of > 85% for fourteen signs when they
are trained by more than one person.

1.4 Robotic Arm Copying Human Arm Motion Using
Kinect
Field/ Area: Kinect
Sponsor: Microsoft
Project Contacts:
Project Idea:
The project aims to control any mechanical system using the
Kinect Sensor, as it opens a new generation of remote control
of mechanisms instead of pure programming or manual
control. This idea is incorporated by controlling a robotic arm
by our human arm using the Kinect sensor.
Supervisors:
• Prof. Dr. Hisham EL-Sherif
Team Members:
1. Ahmed Raouf Fahmy
Novelty:
The project leads to fully understand the flow of information
and data between the Kinect, motor controller (Arduino) and
motors. It introduces a new idea of mechanical control.
Beneficiaries:
This project can be used in medical operations instead of using
robotic arms controlled by joysticks as well as it can be used on
production lines for precision and better performance. It can
be used in dangerous sites for the safety of the operator as the
operator can control it from a safe distance and it can increase
the employment of disabled people as the operator doesn’t
have to move from his/her place to execute the operation.

4.1 Q and A
Project Contacts:
Field/ Area: Cloud Computing
Sponsor: EMC²
Project Idea:
Q and A is an NLP (Natural Language Processing) open-domain
question answering system. Its goal is to retrieve short
answers to users’ English questions that are written in natural
language, rather than retrieving complete documents or best

channels. The conversion of signaling messages from the GSM
Um-interface to a format suitable for SIP signaling to a
centralized VoIP switch over the GSM channel connecting the
BTSs, and the proof of its feasibility through simulation.
Novelty:
The project uses the RF link in inter BTSs connection due to the
low capacity in the rural areas so we can have a call between
two open BTSs nodes at two different locations without using
the internet connection and by using 8-PSK modulation the
BTSs link time-slots capacity can be tripled to achieve better
performance.
Beneficiaries:
The Telecommunication companies shall benefit from the
inexpensive coverage of rural areas.

(Solar energy & Biomass energy)
Project Contacts:
Field/ Area: Smart Building
Sponsor: Smart Villages
Project Idea:
In this project, a hybrid system is used for electricity
generation using a sterling engine. The energy sources for this
system are biomass and solar energy.

energy in solar radiation to mechanical energy and then to
electrical energy.
During night time, A biomass gasifier is used to convert
organic based materials (wood blocks, rice straw...etc.) into a
combustible gas that composed of Carbon monoxide,
Hydrogen, Carbon dioxide and methane then burn this gas to
run the sterling engine .

Project Contacts:
Field/ Area: VLSI
Sponsor: Intel
Project Idea:
The project targets building wireless receivers by repeating
identical innovative processing blocks. Together, they can be
reprogrammed to support a large number of symbol domain
algorithms, for several modes, in many standards. Through
multiple innovations in the architecture, the building block
supports this high flexibility while providing dedicated
hardware- like performance. This can be used to design singlestandard wireless receivers with very short time to market, or
it can be used to design reconfigurable receivers that support
multiple standards with very low energy consumption.
Novelty:
Building a reconfigurable engine (ASIP) that support many
communication systems without sacrificing the power and
throughput. The design is modular and easy to expand to
support future systems with higher throughput. Efficient
implementation for FFT algorithm using CORDIC.
Beneficiaries:

programmability and performance, the design cycle can be
dramatically shortened), Patients using telemedicine devices.
Consumers (the design will leads to cheaper portable receivers
and a much shorter time to market).

9.1 TRIO - Triple Patterning Decomposer
Project Contacts:
Field/ Area: EDA/CAD
Sponsor: Mentor graphics
Project Idea:
Triple patterning was developed for photolithography to
enhance the feature density. In the semiconductor industry,
double patterning is the primary lithography technique
introduced for the 32 nm node. As dimensions continue to
shrink in the 14nm and below a need for a third mask is
becoming essential, so triple patterning is a new trend that is
needed in these submicron technologies to enable printing
features in the 14nm and below on a 45nm node lithography
process.
Novelty:
Considering run time complexity, TRIO is implemented, from
scratch, with three various acceleration techniques so as to
fasten polygons splitting. TRIO also adopted a novel splitting
technique based on modifications of the SAT (Saturated
Coloring) algorithm, and equal density distribution algorithm.

designer to visually explore the important tradeoffs in analog
designs which leads to better designs completed in less time.
TOAIC is a web-based tool allowing designers to use the tool
without installing any software.

early stages of the design by introducing a layout-aware
schematic design level.
