Title: We would like to develop a system that measures the applied torque at a bicycle crank set. In contrast to current solutions, we want to be able to retrofit our system to existing crank sets, obviating the need to abandon parts that the bicyclist already owns. In principle, according to preliminary tests performed at the MMAE department, this can be done using sets of quite inexpensive strain gauges. However, being able to get accurate torque measurements will require some advanced processing of signals from the strain gauges. These signals can then be transmitted wirelessly to a bicycle computer like the Edge 705 that the global positioning system corporation Garmin released this spring. There is a defined wireless protocol, called ANT+Sport, which has been developed specifically for the purpose of transmitting exercise data, such as power output or heart rate, to small computers. Chipsets and development kits for this protocol are also available commercially. Therefore, our task will be to find an optimal configuration of strain gauges that will be attached to the crank set, and to develop an algorithm to process the strain gauge data in order to isolate a signal that is proportional to the applied torque. This signal will then be transmitted to the bicycle computer for display and storage (Semester Unknown) IPRO 325: Developing Affordable and Sustainable Energy Solutions for the World’s Rural Poor IPRO 325 Final PresentationC F08

Show moreAn estimated 2.7 million people die prematurely each year due to smoke and toxic emissions from wood burning. Around 3.1 million people died in 2002 as a result of diarrhea related diseases which are contracted from polluted water; 90% of whom were children. Out of 792 million people suffering from malnutrition, 5 million children die each year. 4 out of 5 of these 792 million people do not have access to needed fruits and vegetables. For the past four semesters, IPRO 325 has focused on helping solve problems of the world’s rural poor. This semester, the team is focused on improving last semester’s designs and developing better field manuals. Our team implemented our past projects in Sincape, Peru last semester, and we also intend to go back to look at them after a semester and implement more of our projects.

Show moreWhat is intermodal transportation? Intermodal transportations are the use of multiple types of transportation such as ships, planes, locomotive and semi-trailers to transport goods in and out of the United States. An example of this would be the importation of goods from overseas that arrive in the United States via cargo ships. Distribution of these goods can vary depending on the distance the container needs to travel. Containers that travel short distances will be done via semi-trailer, whereas containers that have to travel cross country are loaded into locomotives and transported the Midwest for sub-distribution or the other coast for distribution. Why is intermodal transportation important? The efficiency in moving products is what makes Intermodal Transportation important. The more efficient a product is distributed the more money is saved, due to less time and less labor involved in the process. What is the scope of this IPRO? The scope of this IPRO is to provide a manifesto of good practices that will improve intermodal transportation to be environmentally conscious and friendly. The IPRO team will produce a book containing good practices in the design of an intermodal facility. The team will also implement the methods by producing a build-out. The team will also focus on the Clark Road bridge design from previous semester to help improve the commerciality of Gary, Indiana. There is a growing concern today to be more environmentally conscious and friendly. Cities like Chicago are introducing green roofs to help the environment by reducing carbon dioxide therefore lessening the green house effects. The challenge for this IPRO team is how we can improve intermodal yards while 3 keeping in mind the environmental and ethical issues. Some of the environmental issues the team is dealing with are noise, water, air and land quality. The ethical issues are the effect on the individual and the community of having an intermodal facility at your back door. The team will research and find solutions for these issues and write up a report to publish in the book.

Show moreThe course IPRO-305 is geared towards giving the students practical product development experience by addressing the problem statement provided by the workshop sponsor (and our client), Honeywell, Inc. During the course of this workshop, we will implement the formative stages of a user-centered design process by developing and prototyping design concepts based on an understanding of existing social networks in small business communities in two neighborhoods, Pilsen/Little Village in Chicago and Powai in Mumbai. The goal will be to develop product, communication or service designs that contribute to increasing prosperity and small business growth within the Chicago and Mumbai neighborhoods. This project will be undertaken in collaboration with graduate students at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-Bombay) and their Industrial Design Centre, (comparable to IIT Institute of Design), as well as staff at Honeywell in Bangalore and Minneapolis. By working on this project students, both undergraduate IPRO students and graduate IIT, Chicago’s design school students are intended to gain proficiency in remote research methods and collaborating with your contemporaries abroad on a global design project. The flavor of this effort will be a practical or professional one, working towards implementation and design refinement. At the end of this experience, all participating students should have: 1. a solid understanding of methods and artifacts necessary to conduct design research internationally 2. experience in applying design and business practices to economic development issues 3 3. a basic understanding of existing social networks in 2 small business communities and how design can help address these 4. established professional relationships with Indian designers who share a human-centered mindset 5. a portfolio-ready project, complete with a recognizable client

Show moreThe course IPRO-305 is geared towards giving the students practical product development experience by addressing the problem statement provided by the workshop sponsor (and our client), Honeywell, Inc. During the course of this workshop, we will implement the formative stages of a user-centered design process by developing and prototyping design concepts based on an understanding of existing social networks in small business communities in two neighborhoods, Pilsen/Little Village in Chicago and Powai in Mumbai. The goal will be to develop product, communication or service designs that contribute to increasing prosperity and small business growth within the Chicago and Mumbai neighborhoods. This project will be undertaken in collaboration with graduate students at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-Bombay) and their Industrial Design Centre, (comparable to IIT Institute of Design), as well as staff at Honeywell in Bangalore and Minneapolis. By working on this project students, both undergraduate IPRO students and graduate IIT, Chicago’s design school students are intended to gain proficiency in remote research methods and collaborating with your contemporaries abroad on a global design project. The flavor of this effort will be a practical or professional one, working towards implementation and design refinement. At the end of this experience, all participating students should have: 1. a solid understanding of methods and artifacts necessary to conduct design research internationally 2. experience in applying design and business practices to economic development issues 3 3. a basic understanding of existing social networks in 2 small business communities and how design can help address these 4. established professional relationships with Indian designers who share a human-centered mindset 5. a portfolio-ready project, complete with a recognizable client

Show moreWhat is intermodal transportation? Intermodal transportations are the use of multiple types of transportation such as ships, planes, locomotive and semi-trailers to transport goods in and out of the United States. An example of this would be the importation of goods from overseas that arrive in the United States via cargo ships. Distribution of these goods can vary depending on the distance the container needs to travel. Containers that travel short distances will be done via semi-trailer, whereas containers that have to travel cross country are loaded into locomotives and transported the Midwest for sub-distribution or the other coast for distribution. Why is intermodal transportation important? The efficiency in moving products is what makes Intermodal Transportation important. The more efficient a product is distributed the more money is saved, due to less time and less labor involved in the process. What is the scope of this IPRO? The scope of this IPRO is to provide a manifesto of good practices that will improve intermodal transportation to be environmentally conscious and friendly. The IPRO team will produce a book containing good practices in the design of an intermodal facility. The team will also implement the methods by producing a build-out. The team will also focus on the Clark Road bridge design from previous semester to help improve the commerciality of Gary, Indiana. There is a growing concern today to be more environmentally conscious and friendly. Cities like Chicago are introducing green roofs to help the environment by reducing carbon dioxide therefore lessening the green house effects. The challenge for this IPRO team is how we can improve intermodal yards while 3 keeping in mind the environmental and ethical issues. Some of the environmental issues the team is dealing with are noise, water, air and land quality. The ethical issues are the effect on the individual and the community of having an intermodal facility at your back door. The team will research and find solutions for these issues and write up a report to publish in the book.

Show moreIPRO 310 is continuing into its fourth semester of creating devices to assist the millions of blind and visually impaired people in the United States to swim independently and without sustaining injuries. Due to the size of the team, now and in the past, IPRO 310 divides itself into 3 subteams. The three sub‐teams are the passive sub‐team, the active sub‐team, and the research sub‐team; which this year has become the business plan/EnPRO sub‐team. Though we meet as a single IPRO several times a week, most of the work done outside of class will be in separate teams. Because of the great differences between each segment of the project, each sub‐team has devised their own plan. The passive team will first present their plan to create a large device that can be installed into a pool to assist blind and visually impaired swimmers. Following that, the active team will present their plan to create a small device that can be worn by a blind and visually impaired swimmer to warn them about obstacles. Lastly, the business team will present their plan to devise a business plan to start a successful start‐up business by using the device that the passive team is working on.
