- Design and Global Market Analysis of a Tool Cabinet (Semester Unknown) IPRO 341
- The objective of IPRO 341 is to assist Versatility Tool Works with the design, testing, and marketing of an industrial strength tool cabinet. Ideally, one or more of the drawers in the cabinet should be capable of holding 450 pounds of equipment, and have a lifespan of 20,000 cycles. (One (1) cycle is defined as one opening and closing of the drawer.) Extra features to include in the design of the cabinet will also be investigated to try to make the cabinet more marketable. However, it will be important to first determine what progress has been made thus far so that this semester’s design improvements can be better demonstrated., Deliverables

- Our Energy Future: Lessons in Sustainability AND IPRO Teams for K-12: The Education Outreach Service Learning Cluster (sequence unknown), IPRO 332 - Deliverables
- The mission of the IPRO is to educate the community, focusing mainly on elementary and high school students, on the issues of sustainability and energy conservation. The group looks to expand on the work that has been completed in previous semesters, by adding multi-media presentations to enhance the current teaching modules. Previous modules have presented to classrooms simply with information, and the team looks to add upon this by adding interactive and entertaining materials to intrigue the audience., Deliverables for IPRO 332: IOur Energy Future: Lessons in Sustainability AND IPRO Teams for K-12: The Education Outreach Service Learning Cluster for the fall 2009 semester

- Method and Apparatus for Passive Mapping
- A passive mapping system employs an antenna or other sensing means having a receiving beam pattern which is scanned in azimuth while moving along a path relative to the area to be mapped. The received signal, after detection and other processing, is recorded on a moving record medium in such a manner that each emitting element in the mapped area generates a straight line of a certain intensity or contrast on the record medium with a slope corresponding to the emitting element range, and the position along the medium corresponding to the location of the antenna along the path. Subsequently, the record medium is processed to collapse or integrate each straight signal line into a point on a further record medium to produce a radiometric plan view map of the area., Sponsorship: IIT Research Institute, United States Patent

- Global Warming and Community Outreach (Semester Unknown) IPRO 331
- IPRO 331, its team members, and all involved faculty are devoted to enhancing awareness in the community to the issues surrounding global warming. Our goal is to give PowerPoint presentations to several different audiences, especially today’s younger generations in elementary school, high school, and college, in order to both educate and interest people in these issues. Our presentations are meant to be objective – we want to present the facts about global warming research from credible sources. Additionally, with the help of our website and contacts, we hope to be another driving force in the sustainability movement and climate change research. Our purpose can be summed up in a quote included at the end of each of our presentations: “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.” – Charles Darwin, Deliverables

- Intermodal Container Transport System Solutions for Chicago Region (semester?), IPRO 307
- This IPRO will focus on the road and rail modes of transportation. Specifically, the team will investigate intermodal rail yards that specialize in transferring containers from trucks to trains, and vice versa. It will then put this knowledge to use by designing an actual intermodal rail yard for the Gary, Indiana area. The objective of this IPRO is to produce a thorough site plan for the Gary rail yard, a computer program to communicate with truck drivers, and an encompassing business plan., Deliverables for IPRO 307: Intermodal Container Transport System Solutions for Chicago Region for the Fall 2007 semester

- Video Disc Transducer System
- An optical transducer system reproduces a videodisk record by rotating the disc at a low speed. A record guiding means is comprised of a ribbed gate region. The ribs engage the disc on opposite margins of the optical images recorded on the disc and extend in a circumferential direction., Sponsorship: IIT Research Institute, United States Patent

- Application of Solar Thermal Technology in Large-Scale Buildings in the Urban Environment (Spring 2003) IPRO 328: Application of Solar Thermal Technology in Large-Scale Buildings in the Urban Environment IPRO328 Spring2003 Final Presentation
- Students will work in teams to accomplish research and present findings and recommendations about solar thermal as a viable renewable energy industry. The IPRO team will address the following goals and tasks: Research existing solar thermal products in the marketplace. Determine geographic locations worldwide where solar thermal is currently a viable alternative to fossil fuel consuming heating systems. Outline the history of solar thermal development in the United States and other world markets. Research the history of and current technology available for solar thermal installations. Rate various systems by efficiency, cost benefit, physical size required for heat production, ease of operation, durability and other criteria determined significant by the team. Outline construction and design criteria for installation in new and existing buildings. Using an existing building on the IIT campus, develop a plan for installation of solar thermal to produce heat and domestic hot water for the building. Determine how much fossil fuel consumption would be avoided through the installation of a solar thermal solution. Determine the approximate payback of the new solar thermal system based on today's energy, solar thermal system costs and construction costs. Illustrate examples of solar thermal installations on existing and new buildings to determine the effect solar thermal will have on the overall architecture of a building. Develop methodologies for incorporating solar thermal into the design of existing and new buildings which is aesthetically appropriate., Sponsorship: NA, Project Plan for IPRO 328: Application of Solar Thermal Technology in Large-Scale Buildings in the Urban Environment for the Spring 2003 semester

- HERAFitter - an open source QCD fit framework
- The patron distribution functions (PDFs) describe the parton content of the proton. They cannot be calculated from the first principle and are to be determined empirically by fitting experimental observables to quantum chromodynamics (QCD) predictions. The HERAFitter project aims to provide a framework for QCD analyses of proton structure at leading order (LO), next-to-leading order (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading (NNLO) orders in perturbative QCD. The framework includes various modules and interfaces enabling a large number of theoretical and methodological options. It also allows to study the impact of the new experimental data on the PDFs from ep, pp and pp̅ scattering processes. The fast development of the project involves active communication with theorists and experimentalist as well as a close collaboration with the main PDF fitting groups. Full information about the project, downloads and documentation can be found in http://herafitter.org., Sponsorship: IIT College of Science, High Energy Physics Division of Argonne National Laboratory

- Collective dynamics of the p-Pb collisions at the LHC
- We review the signatures for the soft collective dynamics in highest-multiplicity ultrarelativistic p-Pb collisions and show that the effects are well described in a three-stage model, consisting of the event-by-event Glauber initial conditions, viscous 3+1D hydrodynamics, and statistical hadronization. In particular, we discuss the ridges in two-particle correla- tions in the relative azimuth and pseudorapidity, the elliptic and triangular flow coefficients, and the mass hierarchy of observables sensitive to flow., Sponsorship: IIT College of Science, High Energy Physics Division of Argonne National Laboratory
