Show moreThe use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance as well as in search and rescue is rapidly expanding in both civilian and military applications at an unprecedented rate which was not foreseen a decade ago. Accordingly, there are significant job opportunities in this field and it is expected that this will continue to grow in the next decade. However, the design of UAS is truly an interdisciplinary task as it requires an excellent team work with expertise in diverse areas ranging from aircraft design to autonomous flight, video and data transmission to visual object recognition, the operation of ground station such as real time data analysis and antenna tracking as well as legal/policy aspects of UAS flight operations.

Show moreIPRO 327’s objective is to create a complete set of drawings and specifications of a water distribution system for Pignon, Haiti that can be easily built and used by the town. This is a continuation of a spring 2007 IPRO, which completed mapping of the town. We now seek to design the physical water distribution system that can be sustained for twenty years. To do this, we have identified several factors significant to the success of this system that we will be focusing on. These include finding a water source that can provide a continuous and adequate flow of water, design of a pump and the power source to run it, design of water kiosks and faucets, and design of the piping network with erosion protection. User fees will also be determined for both public and private water lines. The water system will also be designed so that its output may grow with the population of the town over the next twenty years. Through our work, we hope to create a system that can be implemented by Pignon to provide a clean and reliable water source for its citizens.

Show moreMethods for the crystallization of nano-size crystals of molecular organic compounds while operating at a low supersaturation. The methods are based on controlling the domain size available during the crystallization process. In one exemplary method, microcontacted printed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) with local domain area sizes ranging up to 2500 .mu.m.sup.2 and fabricated SAMs generated from electron beam lithography, are employed to control the size, orientation, phase, and morphology of the crystal. In another exemplary method, a continuous micro-crystallizer having a vessel diameter of 25 microns or less is used to ensure that that the maximum size of the crystals in at least one dimension, ad preferably two dimensions is constrained by the vessel itself. The methods allow control of supersaturation and growth conditions, as well as manageability over crystallinity and polymorphism, and each method's domain size has the potential for further reduction.

Show moreOur IPRO is aimed at laying the groundwork for a small company that supplies attachable, battery-powered motors for kayaks. Throughout the world, water sports are a popular activity for families and couples that look to spend time together while enriching their health. Recreational kayaking is a popular and convenient way for people to spend time with their family while engaged in an enjoyable activity. Due to imbalances in physical abilities within the family (such as the wife having to carry the paddling load when her husband gets tired), the pleasurable experience could become too rigorous for some individuals to enjoy. Our product is an easy-to-install kit that provides convenient, on-demand power assistance to enhance the kayaking experience.

Show moreThe convergence of personal scale computing and telecommunications devices opens the way for a new generation of product. This EnPRO team will evaluate the potential for an entrepreneur's concept for a hand-held electronic device. Team members will review current electronic devices in the marketplace and account for issues that affect their success or failure. The team will fabricate rough mock-ups of different versions, create task scenarios, recruit a small sample of prospective users, and have the subjects simulate using the devices. Team members will observe subject performance and collect qualitative information on subject experiences using different versions. A team report and presentation will demonstrate the differences among devices and present guidance for prototype development. The project offers an exciting opportunity for actual R&D work on the design of user interfaces and personal electronics equipment. Development of a new product concept like this device requires team members to develop and apply their knowledge and ability in identifying and making trade-off decisions related to materials, performance, features and function. There will also be a strong business planning aspect to this EnPRO project. Tim Higginson, president of Yuvee, will collaborate with the team to review and further explore business planning issues associated with his concept. The team will have the opportunity to review the plan created by Mr. Higginson and identify critical areas that need further development and refinement. As is the nature of business plans, they play two roles. One is to attract investors, the other is to provide an implementable roadmap to achieve the company's goals. From both perspectives, there is almost an infinite amount of work that can be done. For example, areas that the team may focus on include implementation issues of (i) product development and (ii) marketing and sales. This project is a great opportunity to gain practical experience in designing a structured study to investigate usability and efficacy of an electronic device, as well as to review a business plan that is currently being used to attract investors and help to investigate various issues critical to the plan and pursuit of the company's goals

Show moreAn algorithm on a computer readable medium for efficiently creating a message efficient virtual backbone in a wireless ad hoc network utilizes three phases to establish an efficient network among the independent transceivers of a wireless ad hoc network. Independent transceivers within the transmission range of each other are neighbors. A leader election and tree construction phase constructs a tree of neighboring transceivers with one transceiver being designated the root and with each transceiver establishing and recording its location in the tree structure and the identifiers of its neighbors; and reporting when the tree is established. A level calculation phase determines the level of each transceiver away from the root transceiver, with each transceiver recording the level of its neighbors. Precedence for each transceiver is established with consideration of each transceiver's tree level and identifier, with tree level being paramount in deciding precedence; and reporting when the levels of the tree are established. A backbone construction phase establishes all transceivers as a dominator or a dominatee, with the dominators forming the network backbone and the dominatees all being neighbors to a dominator. Within the network each transceiver only needs to know the information of its neighboring transceivers.
