Show moreThe first objective of IPRO 341 is to research four areas in which nanotechnology is being applied. Through this research the team will gain a basic understanding of the workings behind nanotechnology and determine applications which may interest our target audience (see second objective). The second objective of IPRO 341 is to determine a target audience. Since this semester’s team will focus on public assessment and education, a target audience must be chosen to present our research findings to. The third objective of IPRO 341 is to assess the current level of knowledge which the target audience has pertaining to nanotechnology. By determining what the audience already knows about the subject the team can organize and present the necessary information. The fourth objective of IPRO 341 is to educate our target audience. Public education of nanotechnology and its applications is the mission of this IPRO team. All previous objectives are part of this encompassing goal of public education. The team will work on putting together a tool for public education which can be used by the target audience to gain knowledge on the subject of nanotechnology. The team also plans to spread interest of the tool so that it may be used to educate the public.

Show moreWe have quite a few objectives for this IPRO. Our first objective is to research into both industrial and mass market applications of the Product Animations technology. After this first objective, we take 2 paths. The first leads to determining a screening criterion to select the best industrial prospects. We then plan to quantify the value propositions for the prospects selected from objective 2. When this is finished, we will create a deliverable simulation example, and finally write down any and all recommendations for future work with this IPRO. The other path leads to researching the idea or design of an ASP website. After this has been implemented, we want to use a PAI example of a milkshake machine, and show this on the ASP at IPRO day.

Show moreApplications of DC-DC converter require a high power, high efficiency performance, especially for automotive applications and renewable energy applications. A desired converter should have a fast response, stable output in different conditions. This thesis studies a novel high gain DC-DC resonant converter and its control. Based on the circuit analysis and operation evaluation, feed-forward and feedback control methods are proposed in order to achieve stability under variety of changes. Moreover, circuit topology is investigated in response to the efficiency improvement. Simulations in PSIM, PLECS and MATLAB Simulink have been carried out to validate the controller design and topology development. The simulation results are in consistence to the theoretical analysis. The overall high efficiency at nominal operating point is further increased.

Show moreThe objective of this group is to produce barcode scanning software for warehouse acceptance. This means that when a warehouse receives an item (or items) information is generated about that item from its barcode that lets a warehouse worker know where the item should be stored in the warehouse. At the end of this project we should have a solution that is ready for verification of specifications by a Comarch deployers. Our software should meet several criteria:  Integrated into CDN XL which is Comarch ERP solution software.  Make use of its algorithm to improve the efficiency of a warehouse by directing the employees to where items should be stored in the warehouse.  Foolproof to minimize the effects of human error.  Capable of multinational use and will include a language pack for Polish and English.  Have a minimal learning curve in order to be an effective and marketable product. Some aspects of the software should be customizable after the prototype stage such as the format of barcode it will read, what type of mobile device it will run on and the appearance of the graphical user interface. The customization capabilities will not be implemented in this project since our software will be the initial release.

Show moreOver the past decade, permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) have gained significant popularity in industry, such as wind turbines and electric vehicles, owing to their high efficiency, high output power to volume ratio, and high torque to current ratio. In these mission critical applications, an unexpected fault or failure of the machine could lead to very high repair or replacement cost, or even catastrophic system failure. Therefore a robust and reliable health monitoring and fault diagnostic approach is desired, which could help in scheduling preventive maintenance to lengthen their lifespan and avoid machine failure. This dissertation presents a novel multi-faults diagnostic approach using search coils. These search coils are wound around armature teeth, so they typically need to be installed during manufacturing. But its immunity to high frequency harmonics makes it suitable for inverter/rectifier fed motors or generators, such as wind turbines and automotive systems. In addition, this method does not require the knowledge of proprietary constructional details of the machine. Since the electromagnetic flux is directly measured in this method, it provides much more information than any other scheme: the direction of eccentricity and the location of shorted windings. Furthermore, this method is also capable of evaluating the severity of each fault, which is of significant importance in mission critical applications such as automotive, aerospace and military applications. In addition to these uses, the search coils can be used as a universal sensor to estimate phase current or rotor position, which are critical information in a PMSM close-loop control, which allow it to work as a backup sensor for fault tolerant operation. The proposed fault detection scheme and universal sensor concept have been tested under several scenarios with Finite Element Analysis and experimentally validated.

Show moreThe overall goal of this work is to apply in vivo and in vitro models to study the basement membrane protein laminin α4 (lama4) in adipocyte function. Adipose tissue accumulation, lipogenesis, and structure were examined in mice with a null mutation of the lama4 gene (Lama4−/−) and compared to wild-type animals (Lama4+/+). The Lama4−/−mice phenotype was investigated to evaluate if the differences were due specifically to the adipose tissue function. Physical activity and food intake does not differ between Lama4+/+ and Lama4−/− mice. However, Lama4−/− mice have a significantly increased metabolic rate at 25°C and 16°C compared to Lama4+/+ mice. In contrast, in thermoneutral conditions at 30°C both Lama4+/+ and Lama4−/− mice exhibit equivalent metabolic rates. Interestingly, when room temperature housed mice fat pads were evaluated with immunohistochemistry, Lama4−/− mice exhibit significantly increased UCP-1 expression in subcutaneous adipose. These results suggest that beiging, white to brown adipocytes, in subcutaneous adipose tissue in Lama4−/− mice may lead to decreased adipose tissue accumulation and improved metabolic function. While animal models indicate the absence of lama4 results in more beiging in subcutaneous adipose tissue, an in vitro tissue engineered model was developed to study the adipocyte function in a controlled microenvironment. Primary cell spheroids developed from Lama4+/+ and Lama4−/− were incorporated into synthetic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels within a range of stiffnesses. When the cells were given the same chemical cues their functions differed depending upon microenvironment stiffness. Beige function in adipocyte cells in 3D can be influenced by matrix stiffness. In conclusion, the laminin alpha 4 basement membrane protein absence in adipose tissue results in adipocyte functional changes in vivo. The Lama4−/− mice have resistance to diet induced weight gain and increased metabolic rate at room temperature and when cold challenged. The Lama4−/− mice had increased beiging in the subcutaneous depot. Additionally, a tissue engineered model was developed to further study cell-ECM interactions first identified in an animal model. These in vivo findings and the engineered model of adipose tissue have great potential for studying obesity and other adipose related diseases. Future work will require continued interdisciplinary collaboration towards the successful identification and screening of novel therapeutics using engineered tissue models.
