- Method for Securing Streaming Multimedia Network Transmissions
- A method of securing against an unauthorized transmission within an authorized multimedia transmission from a sending data processor to a receiving data processor. The method includes altering the network transmission to interfere with the unauthorized transmission and render the unauthorized transmission invalid to the receiving data processor while not noticeably interfering with the streaming multimedia transmission. Monitoring for retransmissions or retransmission requests also serves as an indicator to an administrator that an unauthorized transmission is occurring. The method of this invention can be implemented by network administrator middleboxes such as firewalls., Sponsorship: Illinois Institute of Technology, United States Patent

- Automatic Insulin Pumps Using Recursive Multivariable Models and Adaptive Control Algorithms
- A method and device for monitoring or treating patient glucose levels. The device includes a glucose sensor for measuring a glucose level of a patient, a physiological status monitoring system for measuring at least one physical or metabolic variable of the patient, and an automatic controller in communication with the glucose sensor and the physiological status monitoring system. The controller includes a prediction module for automatically predicting a future glucose level using data measured by the glucose sensor and the physiological sensor., Sponsorship: Illinois Institute of Technology, United States Patent

- Coal Combustion Residual Solutions (Spring 2011) IPRO 302
- Team Vision/Mission The purpose of the IPRO 302 team, sponsored by Sargent & Lundy, is to evaluate the environmental and cost impacts of closing an ash pond at an active power plant, as well as consider alternative beneficial uses for coal combustion residuals (CCR) and wastewater that can contribute to a sustainable solution. Objectives ● Current status of regulations for CCR and wastewater ● Alternatives for disposing of ash ● A recommended alternative for disposal or reuse of the bottom ash ● A recommended alternative for treatment and disposal of wastewater ● Cost impact of closure of an existing unlined ash pond, Sponsorship: Sargent & Lundy, Deliverables

- Hyde Park Art Center Digital Facade (semester?), IPRO 306
- The scope of this project is to present a variety of solutions, determining and defining a system required to implement a digital façade for the new Hype Park Art Center. The pioneering icon for the Hyde Park Art Center will engage neighbors and those who pass by, in addition to ideally attracting visitors from all over Chicago and beyond. The projection area will be the Art Center’s signature while serving many exhibition and studio needs by bringing art directly into the view of the community it serves. The idea is that the art created because of this façade will be a signature as well. Because of this, the façade system itself needs to accommodate many different digital art mediums to function as a blank canvas with opportunity for a creative manipulation by artists, visitors, and the Hyde Park Art Center to the full capabilities of the technology., Sponsorship: IIT - Office of the President; IPRO Office, Tom Jacobius; Hyde Part Art Center, Deliverables for IPRO 306: Hyde Park Art Center Digital Facade for the Spring 2005 semester.

- High Speed Tool Alloys and Process
- Compositions suitable for tool use and containing from about 10 to about 40% of a material selected from the group consisting of tungsten and molybdenum and mixtures thereof; from about 0.5 to about 4% carbon; at least one reactive metal selected from the group consisting of chromium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, silicon and manganese; the balance a mixture of iron and cobalt. The alloy is formed by the hot consolidation of pre-alloyed powders and results in an alloy having a uniformly dispersed carbide phase of a grain size less than 3 microns., Sponsorship: IIT Research Institute, United States Patent

- Disaster Recovery: DIY Home Building (semester?), IPRO 324
- IPRO 324, Disaster Recovery: Do-It-Yourself Home Building, is focused on designing a building manual to aid disaster victims in building new buildings. The objectives of this group are to continue the efforts made from the previous semester. This includes the creation of a manual illustrating how to build the design, design for handicap accessibility as a provision to the current design, to market this manual to a disaster relief organization that would be responsible for the distribution, to find a new client who would be interested in having this project built, and to find funding in order to build the design. Over the course of this semester, the team will be focusing on creating the manual and attempting to build the design at a site either in New Harmony, Louisana or Gulfport, Mississippi where potential clients are. The house at a bare minimum consists of a multipurpose room, a kitchen, and a bathroom; and will cost approximately $17,000. This is an affordable home/structure considering the cost of building a house now. The team is aware that some families are not fortunate enough to have a savings of $20,000 when these unexpected disasters occur. For this reason, it is an objective of the team to obtain funding., Deliverables for IPRO 324: Disaster Recovery: DIY Home Building for the Spring 2007 semester

- Control of complex distributed systems with distributed intelligent agents
- Control of spatially distributed systems is a challenging problem because of their complex nature, nonlinearity, and generally high order. The lack of accurate and computationally efficient model-based techniques for large, spatially distributed systems leads to challenges in controlling the system. Agent-based control structures provide a powerful tool to manago distributed systems by utilizing (organizing) local and global information obtained from the system. A hierarchical, agent-based system with local and global controller agents is developed to control networks of interconnected chemical reactors (CSTRs). The global controller agent dynamically updates local controller agent's objectives as the reactor network conditions change. One challenge posed is control of the spatial distribution of autocatalytic species in a network of reactors hosting multiple species. The multi-agent control system is able to intelligently manipulate the network flow rates such that the desired spatial distribution of species is achieved. Furthermore, the robustness and flexibility of the agent-based control system is illustrated through examples of disturbance rejection and scalability with respect to the size of the network., Endnote format citation for DOI:10.1016/j.jprocont.2006.06.008

- Urban Margins : An Architectural Narrative: Phillips - Final Board
- Manhattan’s expansion is limited by its context; for decades its growth has been upward and inward. It fills the remaining gaps and leftover spaces in its own fabric. As time presses on, this layered context grows in density, accumulating a thickness around the alley, the fire escape, and the rooftop. By resisting the city’s tendency to stifle, one can gather these moments of Manhattan’s past, and channel the interplay of space and narrative.
