: Feasibility Assessment of Sustainable Hydroelectric Facilities in Northeastern Illinois (semester?), IPRO 319; IPRO 319’s objective is to determine the feasibility of converting one or more existing dams on the Fox River into low impact hydroelectric facilities, based upon the project’s economic viability, stakeholders, permitting, and certification processes. As part of this objective, the group aims to provide an extensive catalogue of information on low-impact hydroelectricity so as to establish a strong foundation for future IPROs/EnPROs concerned with the project. We hope to take advantage of IIT’s unique role as an education and research institution to accomplish the task., Deliverables for IPRO 319: Feasibility Assessment of Sustainable Hydroelectric Facilities in Northeastern Illinois for the Spring 2006 semester

: Method and Appartus for Forming Ultrafine Metal Powders; A method and apparatus for producing ultrafine metal powders in which a laser beam is focused on the surface of a workpiece or feedstock and moved thereacross so as to create a cavity within the workpiece through melting and vaporization that contains the metal melted to form the cavity. A subsonic pulsating blast of inert gas is directed at the cavity to atomize the molten metal, rapidly cool the resulting droplets, and transport the droplets to a collection area. The cavity formed by the laser beam is a "keyhole" of deep cavity having a depth approximately three to four times greater than its width. The focal point of the laser beam is moved across the workpiece at a rate from approximately 50 to 80 inches per minute to ensure that the molten metal remains in the cavity prior to the gas atomization. Alloy metal powders can be produced by this method of laser blast atomization providing an alloying metal at the base metal where the cavity is formed so that, upon melting of the base metal, the alloy metal will melt into solution with the molten base metal in the cavity prior to gas atomization. Additionally, nonmetallic impurities may be removed from the molten metal contained within the cavity formed by the laser beam by vaporization., Sponsorship: IIT Research Institute, United States Patent

: Delta Hook Technology (Semester Unknown) EnPRO 358; Recreational fishing is a sizable market, generating over a billion dollars of economic output and providing well over a million American’s with jobs. There are many variations of fishing hooks available that retain the same basic shape and structure, the most popular examples being, the standard J-hook, treble hook and the new “Trokar”, which is “surgically sharpened”. However, there are many limitations associated with existing fishing hooks. One such limitation is that fishing hooks are not able to reliably hold the fish after embedding. Introducing a barb to the hook usually solves this issue, doing so however creates problems when setting the hook and furthermore, barbs can cause damage to the fish during the removal process. Another concern is that contemporary fishing hooks have problems with snagging on nearby rock formations, algae, weeds, or other vegetation in the water., Sponsorship: DHT, Deliverables

: Video Transducing Electric Circuits; Monochrome and color television recording and playback circuitry for coupling of a video magnetic transducer head with a standard broadcast television receiver, the circuitry including a coupling capacitor and means for supplying electric charge to one terminal of the capaictor, a record-playback switch connected between the other terminal of the capacitor and one terminal of the head winding, and a resistor for maintaining the other terminal of the capacitor substantially at ground potential while the switch is in playback position to prevent surges of current through the head winding during switching., Sponsorship: IIT Research Institute, United States Patent

: Ultrasound-Assisted Water-Confined Laser Micromachining; Systems and processes for improved laser machining, such as micro machining, of a workpiece. Systems and processes involve directing at a first surface of the workpiece a laser beam and wherein at least the laser-irradiated region of the first surface of the workpiece is immersed in a liquid, and delivering to the liquid-immersed and laser-irradiated workpiece surface region at least a first ultrasound output from a first ultrasound device. The ultrasound output and the laser beam desirably impact the workpiece first surface substantially simultaneously., Sponsorship: Illinois Institute of Technology, United States Patent

: Method and Apparatus for Using Evacuated, Detachable Web Containers with High Vacuum Treating Means; A coiled metal sheet is placed in a container, which may be thereafter evacuated slowly with the strip outgassing, and then the highly evacuated container is sealed with the coiled strip therein. The evacuated container may be stored until ready to be mated with a high vacuum process chamber. The container is brought to the vacuum processing chamber and is connected thereto; and the coiled strip is unwound from the container and passed through the vacuum chamber, where it is treated while under a high vacuum. The treated strip is then preferably wound in a highly evacuated take-up container., Sponsorship: IIT Research Instutute, United States Patent

: Combustion Engine Acceleration Support Using an Integrated Starter/Alternator; A method of providing acceleration support to a combustion engine using an integrated starter/alternator. The integrated starter/alternator is in rotational combination with the crankshaft and connected to a battery system. The integrated starter/alternator is adapted to function at times as a power source adding torque to rotate the crankshaft to overcome friction and non-linear hydrodynamic forces within the engine. At other times the integrated starter/alternator functions as a power generator for subtracting torque from the crankshaft to provide electrical current to the battery system., Sponsorship: Illinois Institute of Technology, United States Patent

: IIT Saves Water (Summer 2011) IPRO 346; The purpose of this project is the advancement in knowledge of, and applied practical solutions to the challenges of sustainability in regards to a very specialized area of water conservation. The harvesting of air conditioner condensate could potentially lead to the conservation of a great deal of both water and money. Pentair, a company specialized in providing water solutions, is interested in the technology to harvest the condensate from A/C in buildings, and is our sponsor. We aimed to create public awareness surrounding the potential non-potable use of air conditioner condensate through demonstration and presentation. The IPRO Team of Summer 2011 will advance the prior work by focusing upon building public awareness and working to change public policy. The Team will utilize social media promotional strategies/messages and implementation. The Team will also identify the practical and political barriers to main stream harvesting of condensate and develop action plans to overcome the barriers. The two activities of the Team will be to build public enthusiasm for condensate harvesting via social media and secondly to summarize all IPRO condensate efforts into a presentation with collateral materials and share it with organizations that have outreach missions of sustainability and conservation., Sponsorship: Pentair, Inc, Project Plan for IPRO 346: IIT Saves Water for the Summer 2011 semester
