Show moreIn an age where sustainability and “going green” have reached an all time high in both the media, and in politics, new initiatives are being explored more than ever before. Many of these initiatives would require drastic changes both in the way corporations do business, and in the way average citizens live their lives. However, there are initiatives which require very little change in lifestyle and business practice, and potentially represent great savings to those who choose to implement them. Like its predecessors, IPRO 346 aims to raise public awareness of the recycling and reuse of condensate produced by air-conditioning systems. This condensate is a byproduct of all AC units, and is currently sent straight to the sewer. Studies conducted by previous IPROs have not only indicated great potential for this initiative, but have also shown a great deal of public interest. Unfortunately, they have also revealed government policies and city codes which greatly restrict the use of this abundant resource. The aim of IPRO 346 is to work towards a change in these policies through the demonstration of a viable system. Members of the team equipped with a model of the systems we propose will meet with public officials, and others interested in the system, demonstrating its potential in hopes of getting policies in place which would allow such a system to be implemented. The IPRO has two main objectives: the development of a prototype and model for demonstration, and the marketing of the idea through the use of both social networks, and presentations to anyone interested. It is the aim of this team, that the accomplishment of these goals will result in both public demand for AC condensate recycling systems, and public policies which allow their use.

Title: Improving Energy‐Efficient and Offering Quality Audio for Mobile Devices (Semester Unknown) IPRO 344

Show moreIPRO 344 was founded by Dr. Wong for the Fall 2007 semester with a stated long term purpose of studying and improving technologies for use in low‐power mobile audio applications. IPRO 344 had been outlined as the first in a multi‐semester project, with each subsequent semester building on the work of the previous semesters and a final objective of providing a diverse and complete toolkit for low‐power mobile audio applications. The current trends in social‐electronic integration are indicative of a level of “Ambient Computing”. That is, providing users with electronic services independent of their physical location or condition. Examples of this new form of integration can be seen in everything from cell‐phones, portable music players, portable gaming devices, laptops, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and most recently smart‐phones. For this entire generation of new devices, one of the most critical design factors to emerge is that of power efficiency. Users are demanding smaller and lighter devices, more features and more powerful processing power, and longer battery times. Unfortunately, improvements in the power density of consumer level batteries are significantly lacking behind user demands, bringing about the increasingly urgent need for exceptionally energy‐efficient technologies upon which the next generation of devices can be built. For the scope of this semester’s IPRO, we will focus on the amplification stage of mobile audio applications. Final Signal amplification for mobile audio devices can reasonably be in the range of several watts, and can make up significant portions of a devices power budget. Furthermore,traditional amplifiers are limited by a tradeoff between low efficiencies and audio distortion. Lower efficiencies further increase power consumption, and require additional hardware to dissipate waste heat, while higher distortion levels are considered unacceptable by many users.

There will be one retrofit parallel design for the CTA bus, while for the school bus there will be a new and a retrofit parallel design. All vehicle simulations and structured testing will be performed using ADVISOR, as well as other software packages available in the Power Electronics and Motor Drives Laboratory at IIT. Designed heavy-duty vehicles will be simulated and their performance as well as fuel economy and emissions under different conditions will be studied.
