Show moreOver the next few years, the global scientific community will be deciding on the site for the International Linear Collider (ILC). The ILC will be the next great step in particle physics, and there will only be one in the world. The United States would like to host the ILC and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois is a very likely candidate to support this technology. Many important politicians and scientists will be visiting Fermilab during this period of political negotiation and site evaluation. The team’s goal is to design an exhibit for the atrium in Wilson Hall at Fermilab that conveys the scale and importance of scientific research, the value of science education, and the intersections of art and science for both a scientific and non-scientific audience. The exhibit will not only be open to the Fermilab staff and general public, but also to visiting dignitaries and politicians.

Show moredistribution operation which will aid companies seeking to outsource logistics operations. However, the team’s main objective is to add a Request for Proposal tool to the existing model allowing companies to determine the effectiveness of outsourcing different aspects of warehouse operations. This team hopes to generate willingness in its members to establish an environment conducive to team-oriented goals, as outlined in the objectives below. Successful completion of the goals presented here will require each participant to gain useful experience and knowledge regarding teamwork, inter-professional skills and specifically warehouse logistics pricing. For the spring semester, the team has set forth the following objectives:  Analyze existing model (Shipping, Manufacturing, Transportation, etc.) in terms of being user-friendly and effectiveness at accurately predicting cost versus revenue and whether the operations input should be outsourced.  Refine the current model given the suggestions of a surveyed group, not differentiating the contributions of the IPRO students from the software users.  Research costs associated with logistic processes.  Develop a multi-purpose activity outsourcing tool for common use called “Request for Proposal”.

Show moreThe objective of IPRO 305 is to build a wireless broadband network infrastructure along a local river to help Air2Access, an IIT University Technology Park Company, expand its maritime solutions offerings. We will do this by becoming familiar with cutting edge wireless broadband network technologies and the different vendors that offer and use this technology. We will also examine the pilot site and work with the appropriate Agencies to determine any natural, man-made or legal restrictions that we must abide by. To effectively complete our task in a timely manner, our team has divided into two sub-teams. The application team will focus on business applications and how to build them from off-the-shelf and custom built software. The infrastructure team will focus on technologies to support the necessary applications and will focus on the site itself, along with the required hardware deployment.

Show moreIonic contact is established and maintained between electrodes and soil in ohmic heating of a subsurface formation for recovery of volatile and semi-volatile materials, such as hazardous waste, hydrocarbon-like materials, and valuable minerals having thermally responsive properties. A compressed, dry sponge is wrapped around an electrode, which is then inserted into a bore hole. A conductive liquid is added to the bore hole, causing the sponge to swell, creating a stable and substantial interface for the flow of heating currents.

Change. summarizes the intervention and the effect of this architectural project. The developed project wants to activate and change this deteriorate site into a place where people can came together and be aware of the new discoveries for green technologies and also can beneficiate of the outdoor space that incorporate lots of activities year-round. A bike and a pedestrian path are proposed to link two existent streets from the opposite neighborhoods and also to activate the site. The building, composed of two structures, is anchored along the path to reinforce it and also to create a reference point to everything ales on the site. The two proposed buildings represent a Research Center for Green Technologies with a training center and an Exhibit / Community space. These two structures are linked together through the RED TWIST element which guides the interested eye from the entrance at the south side, all the way to the North side. The twist serves as a floor for the first building and then chances and becomes the roof of the second building. In the end through all this elements implemented on the site, the project hopes to be a success for bringing people together into a pleasant environment, to an interesting / interactive building that allows visitors to be explored .

Show moreProfessor Chapman has invented an x-ray procedure that greatly extends the technique's ability to diagnose tumors (mammogram improvement) and see problems in soft tissue, such as cartilage. He collaborates with Brookhaven National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Rush Medical College, and several other universities. The potential for enhancement of public health and quality of life through this technology is significant. The team will have the opportunity to analyze and help IIT pursue one or two different paths to commercialization. The current state of development of the technique limits its application to a high-energy beam line at Argonne. Thus, Project Path One involves developing a business plan for a service that would be created in conjunction with Argonne and accessed through the Advanced Photon Source. Project Path Two involves developing equipment that could be installed in a clinic or hospital. The first project can be implemented without significant technology extension, while the second project requires a technological breakthrough to reduce the size and cost of the equipment. The long-term impact will be greater for the second project, because of the potential diffusion of a system throughout the healthcare industry. The scope of the two project paths involve: (1) Understanding the capability relative to current technology; (2) Relating that technical advantage to a patient benefit; (3) Developing understanding of the economics of the alternatives; (4) Preparing commercialization strategies; (5) Performing market research; (6) Developing a business plan; (7) Creating an implementation plan for Project Path One; (8) Developing an equipment development alliance for Project Path Two; and (9) Developing a financing plan and product development strategy for Project Path Two. It is anticipated that the scope of this project may require it to continue over more than one semester. This IPRO team will find this experience highly rewarding, because of its potential for benefiting many people who require medical diagnostic imaging procedures.

Show moreThis is the first semester of EnPro 350. Although the title suggests wood reclamation via arts and crafts, we have decided to expand the focus to reclamation via urban wood and lumber. We would like to start a business that addresses a need in the market for convenient removal of dead or infested trees in an urban setting. This encompasses all trees not located in forests or tree groves, and includes those found in urban setting. Often, the expense to remove one’s trees from his property is a time-intensive, confusing, and expensive process. We have decided to provide the service of tree health assessment, removal, processing, lumber certification, and marketing through utilizing the concept of vertical integration.
