Show moreThis semester IPRO 335, Capstone Design, continues placing its efforts in designing the most innovative and creative architectural and structural design from senior undergraduate and graduate students. The same project from last semester, the New United Center, will be analyzed, explored, and redesigned in detail to meet new requirements. The primary goal in this semester long project is to implement the knowledge and new techniques learned at IIT along with the experience from individual members in order to create a unique and superior product. Most of the basic design was completed last semester; nevertheless there are many areas that must be designed or some portions that will be modified.

Show moreThe goal of this project is to develop algorithms to be used in a virtual simulation of a garage door’s operation and to construct a working prototype that functions in the Thermotron environmental test chamber in The Chamberlain Group, Inc. facility in Elmhurst in order to collect data under a range of temperatures and humidity as well as a range of loading conditions. The simulator had to be made to fit as many of the operators under test as possible inside the limited size Thermotron that is not large enough to take the operator and a full garage door.

Show moreAll 4 Kidz Enterprises is a minority and women-owned business based in Homewood, Illinois. All 4 Kidz Enterprises specializes in providing multicultural learning aids and children's books with audio CDs for children ages 2 and up. This is done primarily through its "Urban Kidz" series of books. The author, Angela E. Davis, is a retired elementary teacher with a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction/Early Childhood Education. Her passion for educating young people led her to develop a series of books that would be both educational and enjoyable. She is also a frequent visitor to schools, conducting "Meet the Author Day", where she speaks to both students and teachers about realizing their dreams. Angela's mission is to provide young children with books and toys that will enhance their learning and broaden their thinking. To that end, she has developed a concept for a line of learning doll called Tummi Pals. Angela has researched the market and has not found a doll with the attributes of Tummi Pal. Her hope is to fill the void left by the initial excitement of the Cabbage Patch dolls.

Show moreDuring the milling operations at an industrial steel producer like A. Finkl & Sons (Chicago, IL), a substantial amount of time and money is lost due to the fact that cutting inserts break and without warning. The goal of this project is to devise an effective means by which a cutting insert breakage event can be quickly and reliably detected, thereby minimizing damage to the steel and other cutting inserts, and also freeing technicians to attend multiple machines at a time. This increases the productivity of their operations, and it has the potential to save A. Finkl & Sons substantial costs per year in time lost in rework and prematurely broken cutting inserts.

Show moreThe first objective of IPRO 341 is to develop a hypothetical model of the life cycle of emerging technologies through historical analysis. The team has chosen four technologies the study of which we believe will allow us to construct a working model of the life cycle of an emerging technology. The second objective of IPRO 341 is to begin an in-depth look into emerging technologies and assess its political, social, and economic impacts. By applying our hypothetical model to the current trends of emerging technologies, we will predict the impacts that the introduction of emerging technologies will have on society as a whole. The third objective of IPRO 341 is to reassess our model after completing other research dealing with emerging technologies. Since the model we develop can only be a theoretical model, we will have to continuously revise our model depending on any new information that comes about during the development of emerging technologies. The fourth objective of IPRO 341 is to provide an overview as to the importance of researching emerging technologies; how they affect society and the importance to all stakeholders involved.

Show moreThe use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance as well as in search and rescue is rapidly expanding in both civilian and military applications at an unprecedented rate which was not foreseen a decade ago. Accordingly, there are significant job opportunities in this field and it is expected that this will continue to grow in the next decade. However, the design of UAS is truly an interdisciplinary task as it requires an excellent team work with expertise in diverse areas ranging from aircraft design to autonomous flight, video and data transmission to visual object recognition, the operation of ground station such as real time data analysis and antenna tracking as well as legal/policy aspects of UAS flight operations.

Once the amount of force is determined, develop a computer simulation model that can predict the amount of force required based upon the following variable inputs: number of sheets, shred width, and shred length. 2. Through computer simulation or prototype development, design an efficient gear train that optimizes the number of gears and minimizes the motor size based upon data obtained from previous semester’s data. The goal is to develop and simulate a gear train that can withstand 500 cycles at maximum sheet capacity. 3. Develop acoustical sound dampeners or “tune” the shredder to reduce the amount of noise created during the shredding process, leveraging information obtained from previous semesters’ data. The goal is to reduce the noise output by 10 decibels

Show moreAluminosilicate zeolites were first introduced in the early 1950s for applications in adsorption, separation, catalytic conversion and refinery of petroleum. There has been rapid progress since then in synthesizing new zeolites and in developing new zeolitic processes; but there has been less progress in understanding the mechanism and chemistry of various synthesis routes and procedures. Consider, for example, that more than fifty topologically distinct zeolites can be produced from silicon, aluminum, and oxygen simply by varying the ratio of SiO2 to Al2O3 in the synthesis mixture, the alkalinity of the mixture, and the composition of the base. Most of these recipes have been formulated empirically. Consider also that while over a hundred different zeolite framework types have been successfully synthesized, at least another thousand are possible based upon theoretical studies. If the chemistry of zeolite formation at a molecular level was better understood then it would be easier to design various viable syntheses. One key to gaining a good understanding of zeolite synthesis mechanisms is through in-situ characterization of the reaction system. Although some characterization tools have been developed to accomplish this, much improvement could be made using special reactors and penetrating radiation from neutron and synchrotron x-ray sources. In principle, in-situ small angle scattering combined with diffraction, NMR, IR, EXAFS, XANES, and other techniques (sometimes simultaneously) can be used to follow the evolution of the zeolite structure from the molecular level, to micron-sized clusters, and beyond. The possible presence of density fluctuation in the solution state, the kinetics of zeolite crystallization from the solution, and the structure identification of the zeolite phases formed under various conditions can be experimentally determined. What is needed to be able to do these studies is some clever design and testing of reactors that will accommodate the often caustic zeolite reaction systems and also allow penetration of the analyzing radiations. The focus of the proposed work is thus design and testing of reactors for use at Argonne National Laboratory at the Advanced Photon Source or at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source, and application of the reactors for characterization of zeolite syntheses. Proof of principle work should be at atmospheric pressure, which is the most applicable for now; and the top temperature range should be 50 degrees C.
