Show moreNAVTEQ is the corporate sponsor for IPRO 305. NAVTEQ is one of the world’s largest digital mapping companies. With competitors, such as Google, NAVTEQ aims to outdo the competition by providing their clients with robust quality mapping data. NAVTEQ achieves this by employing over 1,000 geographic analysts who’s sole job is to ensure that the data on their maps is unique and, above all, accurate from each of NAVTEQ’s 80,000+ sources[citation 1]. On their quest to provide their clients with robust data, NAVTEQ has identified the need for user- generated content. This is data that a user of a GPS mapping system can enter in for themselves. With this recognition of usergenerated mapping data, NAVTEQ pursues the need to be the world’s most robust digital mapping data provider.

Title: DEVELOPMENT OF AN EMBEDDED CONTROLLER FOR TWO QUADRANT OPERATION OF BLDC MOTORS IN AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS

Show moreDue to growing concerns over the availability of non-renewable petroleum products and the increasing emphasis on protecting our environment from green house gas emissions, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicles have been gaining increasing popularity over recent years. This has led to the design of advanced drive systems using different electric motors such as BLDC, PMSM, IM and SRM. An electric motor/generator requires controller that not only has a strong I/O control function, but also high speed signal processing ability for realizing real time control. Therefore, a DSP (Digital Signal Processors), which integrates flexible multiple PWM signal generator, high speed high precision ADC and encoder interface for motor speed and position feedback, is considered as one of the strongest controllers for electric motor control. Owing to a growing emphasis on identification, interference, and communication of security services of drive train in intelligent PHEVs and HEVs, a DSP can also be used to identify and isolate security issues in the integrity of the drive train in PHEVs and EVs. This thesis has two main contributions: a) it focuses on the development of an embedded controller using TMS320LF2812 DSP to realize two quadrant control of the BLDC; and b) it develops an automotive test bench to identify and investigate some potential security issues using the embedded controller’s eCAN communication function.

Show moreThe objective of this semester’s IPRO 309 will be to incorporate three seminars into the framework proposed by last year’s IPRO 309. Fall 2010’s IPRO 309 proposed an educational curriculum that helped train individuals in Orthotics and Prosthetics in Categories I, II, and III. The goal is to improve on last year’s IPRO proposal and bring it closer to completion. Although the awareness of medical advancements is central, the well-being of patients is also of equal importance. Compatibility of medical devices and their psychological impacts on patients need to be understood by people involved in orthotics and prosthetics. Also related to a better patient care, it is beneficial to create a feasible way of tracking patient information. To emphasize these, seminars will be introduced consisting of materials compatibility, patient well-being, and electronic medical record keeping. Material compatibility will explore aspects such as patient-device interaction and minimizing negative reactions due to the orthotic and prosthetic devices, which includes rashes or other sorts of discomfort. Patient well-being will evaluate the psychological impact of said devices on the patient and help them incorporate the devices into their daily lives. Electronic medical record keeping will introduce technology that will enable practitioners to gather and track the patient’s medical records with ease. The main technology to explore for this course would be the Quick Response (QR) Technology that is incorporated in many smartphones today. These seminars will help increase awareness that orthotics and prosthetics are not just medical fields, but instead a series of professional relationships with patients to help them endure the difficulties and pains they are going through. The goal is that medical professionals will be able to provide the best care possible to patients, both physically and mentally. Additional improvements will also be made on the capstone design course, introduced in previous IPROs, by incorporating methods being used in capstone courses at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Show moreThe goal of IPRO 317 is to create an operational and business model for Urban Forestry Management. Presently, the future of Chicago’s urban forest is in question. While few refute the claim that trees are good for our community, allocating the resources to properly maintain or even expand our urban forest remains beyond our grasp. Our team seeks to make the urban forest a viable commodity in addition to its status as an asset. This would include examining the problem as a closed loop process as well as the sustainable harvest potential of the urban forest. The overall goal would be to create a business model that would increase the number of trees within the city, turn the revenue loss of tree maintenance into a revenue gain, and create a self sustaining model which will have the ability to stand on its own.

Show moreSpring semester 2007, the Manhattan Group came to IIT seeking advice regarding the improvement of their paper shredder. The paper shredders are manufactured in China and sold across the world, including the United States, under the Royal brand name. Each year, over a million paper shredders are sold. Consumers want paper shredders that are quiet and long lasting and are available at the lowest possible price. The Manhattan Group has asked us once again, the students of IPRO 321 and Professor Maurer, for the fourth straight semester to seek potential methods and problems in their shredder. These include improving the sound reduction, the gear optimization, and other features. The MMAE lab and machine lab will be used extensively for gear, sound, and material testing and design. Software resources, sound measuring equipment, and EE equipment will be used as well. Potential legal and/or ethical issues will involve patents and idea ownership. Since this a sponsored IPRO, all discoveries will be property of Mr. Seth Lewis and the Manhattan Group. This potentially could be an issue where this IPRO will be unable to provide necessary information to the IPRO office regarding work and progress due to ethics.

Show moreForced periodic operation of tubular reactors can increase conversion and yield if proper operating conditions and forcing policies are selected. A numerical approach is proposed for computing the effects of periodic input forcing by a shooting algorithm. Such computational tools permit the assessment of the benefits of forced periodic operation of a specific reactor system and the identification of the ranges of operating conditions where forced periodic operation is beneficial. This information provides valuable insight for planning detailed experimental studies. Determining the influential input variables and bracketing the ranges of the operating conditions for improving reactor performance will reduce significantly the experiments needed for selecting the most favorable reactor operation policies. The application of the numerical algorithm is illustrated by assessing the benefits of forced periodic operation to a CO oxidation reactor model. The results reveal substantial improvement in performance with slow cycling in feed concentration.
