: Descriptive Virtualized Reality Environment for Visual Guidance (Fall 2001) IPRO 305: Descriptive Virtualized Reality Environment for Visual Guidance IPRO305 Fall2001 Final Presentation; In this project, the utilization of virtualized reality environments to the guidance of blind or visually-impaired people will be explored. A virtualized reality environment will be constructed based on visual sensory information and described verbally to the user instead of presented to him graphically. One of two contexts will be selected: a static scenario in which the motorized sensors and the system are located in the environment; or a mobile scenario in which a wearable computing system is worn by the user. The technical side of the project requires students with programming skills capable and/or interested in: image analysis, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, and hardware interface and design. The non-technical side of the project requires students capable and/or interested in: analyzing the guidance needs of blind and visually-impaired people, analyzing and experimenting with different verbal descriptions of visual scenes, assessing the level of detail with which the user is comfortable, and experimenting with and assessing the effectiveness of different descriptive schemes. In the long term, the insight and ideas developed in this project may lead to their further development, testing and implementation in practical applications for those who are blind and visually-impaired or more generally for people to communicate and collaborate with each other more effectively in a virtual fashion., Sponsorship: NA, Project Plan for IPRO 305: Descriptive Virtualized Reality Environment for Visual Guidance for the Fall 2001 semester

: Design and Testing of a Lithium-Ion Battery for Hybrid Electric Vehicle Applications (Spring 2002) IPRO 362: Design_and_Testing_of_a_Lithium-Ion_Battery_System_for_Hybrid_Electric_Vehicle_Applications_IPRO362_Spring2002_Final_Presentations; Li-ion cells have demonstrated excellent performance when operated at ambient temperature conditions. Still, the adverse effect of temperature excursions on lithium-ion cell performance is evident when the cell is operated at elevated temperatures beyond 65 oC or at low temperatures below 0 oC. In all applications, e.g. for powering personal electronics or electric vehicles (EV), a number of cells are packed together in different configurations (parallel and series) to form a battery. It is important to keep the battery pack temperature within a fairly narrow temperature range for optimal battery performance. Thermal management for battery systems can be achieved using an IIT patented technology that incorporates phase change material (PCM) in the battery pack design. The PCM integrated in the cell and/or battery design will act as a heat sink for heat generated, for example during discharge of a Li-ion battery, which is a highly exothermic process. The heat stored will be evolved later when the battery temperature drops during battery charge, or under cold weather conditions. The objectives of this project is to design and test a 10 A-hr, 12 VDC lithium-ion battery module that can be used to power electric/hybrid vehicles(EV/HEV). The design and testing of the battery module will require a team of students with strong backgrounds in mechanical, chemical and electrical engineering. There will also be a need for law students to ensure proper protection of any new intellectual property generated from the project. A business student is required to conduct a market survey of these technologies, including the current market size and sales projections for the EV/HEV market., Sponsorship: NA, Project plan for IPRO 362: Design and Testing of a Lithium-Ion Battery for Hybrid Electric Vehicle Applications for the Spring 2002 semester

: Developing a Wind Turbine System for Chicago (Spring 2002) IPRO 307: Developing_a_Wind_Turbine_System_for_Chicago_IPRO307_Spring2002_Final_Presentation; A French company has developed new technology for a wind turbine that produces significantly more energy for a given diameter. This company has agreed to donate a 12 kilowatt prototype unit for research purposes. The project will not only be directed to assessing the efficiency of the wind turbine, but also to the development of a unique stable energy source that integrates several renewable energy sources. The City of Chicago Department of Environment has agreed to partner with IIT in the development of this system. This IPRO team will be responsible for developing the research plan which will include but not be limited to: 1) identifying and assessing alternate locations for siting the wind turbine prototype, 2) developing the research protocol, 3) evaluating wind data in the Chicago area, 4) reviewing the legal aspects of the project including permitting requirements, 5) identifying potential contractors for the installation of the prototype, and 6) developing a preliminary design for the electrical generating system described above., Sponsorship: NA, Project Plan for IPRO 307: Developing a Wind Turbine System for Chicago for the Spring 2002 semester

First urban integration to bigger master plan by being destination or starting point of journey at water front of Hudson river. Second finding an appropriate narrative to create a architectural language for Marine biology research center. And last but not least energy analysis to evaluate best orientation and form of the building.

: Design of A Modern Hydrogen Production and Recovery Facility (Spring 2003) IPRO 304C; The objective of this project is to design and provide an economic assessment of new flue gas cleanup processes to meet new and future environmental emissions standards. The issues to be considered in this project include technical viability, process integration, economic feasibility, and environmental disposal of waste streams. An economic assessment of the market-based prices of emissions allowances will be used to determine the best long-run strategy. An assessment will be made on the effects of implementation of new technologies on the cost of electricity for both low sulfur western coal, and high sulfur Illinois coal to determine if governmental incentives are needed to promote the use of Illinois coal. Students may focus on an existing power plant in Illinois which uses western coals and is not equipped with SOx/NOx/Hg control systems. Students are expected to use the principles of process design, to evaluate commercially available technologies for various pollutants or propose new approaches to the problem, integrate various technologies in the cleanup train, and perform an economic analysis of the overall processes., Sponsorship: IIT Collaboratory for Interprofessional Studies, Project Plan for IPRO 304C: Design of A Modern Hydrogen Production and Recovery Facility for the Spring 2003 semester
