: Conceptual Design and Planning for the Environment of Chicago Area Health Clinics by Access Community Health (Semester Unknown) IPRO 340; In the 21st century, medical technology is advancing at a rapid rate, thus allowing people to benefit from new treatments being developed. However, much of the underserved and underinsured public are not benefiting from the breakthroughs as one might expect. In order for the existing facilities to better serve the public, gradual transformations and upgrades must be made. This is the challenge being tackled by our IPRO: How can we realistically suggest a renovation model for existing Access Community Health Network facilities which would promote cost efficiency and technological advancement in both environmental and operational capacities? - The primary objective of this session of IPRO 340 is to deliver a five-year model for which existing Access Community Healthcare facilities can be shaped into more environmentally and operationally efficient centers for medical treatment. - In designing such a model, secondary goals include familiarization with cutting edge medical technology, modernized building flow, spatial relations, as well as the development of business process models. In addition, we plan to investigate ways in which Access Community Healthcare can enhance the level of patient experience by making peoples’ visit to their facilities more enjoyable and informative., Deliverables

: Physical Assistive Robotic Devices and Systems; A physical assistive robotic device may include a frame including an upright support member, a lateral member slidably engaged with the upright support member, a handle slidably engaged with the lateral member, an elevation actuator coupled to the upright support member and the lateral member, and a lateral actuator coupled to the lateral member and the handle. The elevation actuator translates the lateral member and the lateral actuator translates the handle to transition a user between a standing position and a non-standing position., Sponsorship: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc.; Illinois Institute of Technology, United States Patent

: Crop to Cup Coffee: Building Communities through Coffee (Semester 2) IPRO 333; The mission of IPRO 333 is to assist the Crop to Cup Company with the design and building of an enclosure for a temporary storage facility within the vicinity of their largest producing farming zone for robusta coffee in the Mbale region of Uganda. The sponsor, along with the team, has decided that the best method for addressing the local and global needs of the farmers is to present the research and design personally. Therefore, IPRO 333 will be fundraising to help finance the forthcoming trip to Uganda to present to the farming communities., Sponsorship: Crop to Cup, Deliverables

: Design of a Large-Scale Structural System for the 21st Century (Semester Unknown) IPRO 356; The main problem which our project faces is what to plan to build in the Michael Reese site, which was recently demolished to make room for the Olympic village. Since Chicago did not win the bid for the 2016 Olympics, the site remains vacant and unused. The basis of the IPRO is to develop a plan for this site, and, specifically, to design a building to serve as an anchor for the area. This anchor building should serve the community while still remaining economical., Deliverables

: Web Based Wind Monitoring (Spring 2001) IPRO 330: Web Based Wind Monitoring IPRO330 Spring2001 Final Presentation; This project will investigate the technical, legal and economic issues associated with designing, building, installing and operating a wind speed/direction monitoring station on the lakefront that provides real-time data to a web site for convenient access by wind surfer enthusiasts, sailors and others. A need has been identified among the wind surfer enthusiasts in the Chicago area for improved information about wind conditions at selectedlocations along the Lake Michigan shore that are popular sites for wind surfing as well as sailing. General information about wind speed and direction is available today from the National Weather Service, but unfortunately it is not sufficiently localized or up-to-date to provide a reliable indication of existing conditions or trends. Access to highly reliable and more accurate predictive information at a specific location is important to wind surfers, because there is considerable wasted time and effort associated with traveling to a wind surfing location, only to find that the conditions are not acceptable. The team will explore the feasibility of designing, installing and operating a wind monitoring station at a location along the lakefront. An initial task may be to investigate any related installations around the country that monitor local conditions and present it in real time on the web. This project involves mechanical and electrical design, as well as control software and web site development. The project work extends beyond the technical in order to address the range of practical issues that must be addressed to make it happen. This includes investigating the legal (liability), regulatory (permitting), aesthetic (ordinances), economic (installation, maintenance), safety, security, public relations and marketing issues. This project is a continuation of a Fall 2001 project that has been making progress in developing a prototype., Sponsorship: IIT Internal R&D in Collaboration with the Chicago Park District., Project Plan for IPRO 330: Web Based Wind Monitoring for the Spring 2001 semester

: Systems, Methods, and Protocols for Process Migration and Group Membership management; A system, method, and set of protocols for dynamic group communication are provided for enabling dynamic process migration and dynamic group membership management. A process in a group receives and distributes a migration signal. Group communication continues while the processes in the group asynchronously reach a global superstep and then a synchronization point. The processes then spawn a new process on a new device and update group membership information. The new process operates in continuous execution with the new group., Sponsorship: Illinois Institute of Technology, United States Patent
