Show moreThis EnPRO will work on next generation search tools for Arabic processing. You do not have to be a Computer Science major or know anything about programming to be a major contributor to this project. This will be both a regular IPRO and an ENPRO so you will learn about the business side of things as well. Finally, if you are fluent in Arabic, this is really the IPRO for you. Your Arabic language skills will be heavily used. As with all regular courses, ten hours per week outside of class will be required

Show moreCurrent web search engines only search unstructured data (web documents). A lot of data is available that is structured (weather, census, sports, etc.). A search engine that could search both structured data and text would be able to answer questions such as "show me the top three restaurants in Chicago" without simply looking for the word "three." The team has been building a Java-based metasearch engine in IPRO 334 duringFall 2000. Numerous issues have arisen. How do we identify which data source will be best for the query? What is the best user interface for the system? For Spring 2001, the team will extend the search engine to include more sources. The team could really use the talents of non-computer science students to help test the system and improve the user interface. Students should plan to work on this at least ten hours a week - anything less will resultin a poor grade for the IPRO. Students for this IPRO are graded heavily based on the success of the team, not just individual performance. Weekly progress reports are required. Note that graduate students in Computer Science are not able to use IPRO classes for credit toward a graduate degree.

Show moreIIT has developed and patented technology for the precise metering of flow for the natural gas industry. This technology may have important application in the healthcare and sports medicine field. More specifically, this precision flow meter may offer a better way to monitor the respiration of people with asthma and other respiratory conditions that require careful monitoring and periodic evaluation. It may also be a useful tool to calibrate various inhalation and breathing control devices used by individuals or used under controlled research circumstances. This could include the study of athletes, workers in specialized environments, etc. The purpose of this entrepreneurial IPRO project is twofold. First, it is important to explore the full market potential of a device based on this precision flow meter. This includes a profile of user application segments; driving forces for demand by individuals, researchers and the health care delivery community; and the regulatory environment and process that must be followed (including issues of efficacy for various users, safety, and pathways to trial, approval and market diffusion). In addition, the appropriate pathways to obtaining research and commercialization funding will be identified and evaluated, including SBIR applications. Part of this process involves developing an understanding of the application niche(s) that represent the greatest market opportunity to attract commercial investment, those that represent the earliest market opportunity to stimulate interest and purchase commitment, and those that represent the most viable opportunity to attract research support. A second important purpose is to design, build and test a prototype flow meter and associated electronics. The prototype design will respond to the identified market opportunities. It will include data acquisition and processing systems and user interfaces to provide useful information to the user, physician, researcher or regulatory body. Addressing both purposes can shape the business opportunity based on the precision flow metering technology. This project team may also coordinate with other another planned Spring 2001 IPRO projects IPRO 320, because of its potential focus on asthma incidence and general air quality monitoring in Bronzeville
