Show moreIn light of the global sustainability movement, several mainstream ideas and designs for low to zero carbon emission vehicles have been developed. In the case of all electric vehicles (EVs), Li-Ion batteries seem to be the favored technology due to their high energy density relative to competing energy storage technologies. Despite its superiority to other batteries, it still lacks the energy density to practically achieve comparable range to a fossil fuel powered car, and faces additional challenges in terms of refueling and infrastructure development. Therefore, technologies are needed to ease this demand and possibly supplement it. IPRO 313 has undertaken the task of using Zinc as an electrochemical fuel. The design is based on a Zinc-Air fuel cell developed by John F. Cooper of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) [1]. The design allows the zinc to be provided as < 1 mm sized pellets in a saturated solution of KOH. Using Zinc as a fuel means that exhausted fuel, ZnO, can be recycled. The fact that the metal is recyclable lends this technology to requiring a minimum of new material to sustain the transportation infrastructure. Most importantly, in comparison to current refueling mechanisms, Cooper et. al showed that a battery can be refueled in less than 10 minutes [2] making it a good competitor in the current and emerging eco-friendly vehicle market of which the IPRO plans to build on. So far the IPRO has designed and constructed one prototype and conducted pressure drop experiments. The plans now are to improve the current ZAFC design and investigate the relationship between the electrolyte flow rate and the energy output. Once the single ZAFC has been tested and is providing the output needed, several more will be constructed and put together in an array to supplement the primary battery pack used to provide instantaneous power to the electric engine. Subsequently, the team will begin working on the staple of the project which is to design a mechanism which will refuel the ZAFC array by replacing the old electrolyte and zinc solution with a fresh electrolyte and zinc to all cells.

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 moreRecent advances in radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) technology enable various innovative and versatile applications through ultra-low-power wireless link such as mesh sensor network, personal area network (PAN) and semi-active RFID. This thesis introduces energy efficient demodulator and transceiver design for wireless communications. At the receiver front end, an ultra-low-power BPSK demodulator based on injection locked oscillators (ILOs) is introduced. Two second harmonic ILOs are employed to convert BPSK signals to ASK signals, which are then demodulated by an envelope detector to baseband. For sub-GHz applications, the ILOs are implemented using ring oscillators to allow compact chip area and ultra-low power dissipation. Bit error rate (BER) analysis of this demodulator indicates erroneous polarity flipping of demodulated bits due to phase noise of the ILO. The prototype chip is fabricated in a 65nm CMOS technology that consumes 228μW of power and occupies 0.014mm2 of die area. Measurement results reveal the demodulation of 750MHz 5Mb/s differential BPSK signal with a sensitivity of -43dBm. Theoretical BER analysis has been verified with erroneous flipping observed in the measurement and its probability close to the prediction. Then, an innovative injecting locking based transceiver architecture for ultra low power operation is proposed. It applied the ILO based BPSK demodulator at the receiver side. The oscillating signal at one receiver ILO also injects to another transmitter ILO for accurate carrier generation. Thus local frequency synthesis circuit which consumes considerable portion of power in traditional transceiver is not required. This design is implemented in a 45nm CMOS SOI technology. Measurement results indicate that the transceiver achieves downlink demodulation of -35dBm BPSK signal at 5Mb/s data rate and uplink transmission of -23dBm ASK signal at 1Mb/s data rate with 0.93mA current consumption from 1V power supply.

Show moreThe team working on this project has set itself three major objectives. Firstly it strives to create a comprehensive and in-depth database containing valuable information concerning sustainability. This database should be user-friendly and intuitively presented so people who are interested in sustainability are quickly educated with the key points and have easy access to relevant and high quality references and further readings. The second objective of this project essentially consists of creating a roadmap and master plan on how to make Illinois Institute of Technology’s (IIT) Main Campus sustainable. This will be done by auditing and then benchmarking IIT to other similar projects. This roadmap and master plan will be developed with the vision that once implemented IIT will be a leader in sustainability and encourage many others to follow our track. Lastly the third objective is to create a house of the future. The house of the future has many objectives for itself. It should incorporate current design possibilities and make use of various available technologies to be sustainable and energy efficient among other things. This house should attract the public and educate them how easily sustainability can be achieved using current technology and knowledge at a competitive price.

Show moreDiets abundant in phenolic compounds have been linked to decreased risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes. Wild blueberries (WBB) are one of the richest sources of dietary phenolic compounds, particularly anthocyanin compounds. They also contain hydroxycinnamic acids, namely chlorogenic acids (CGA). Understanding their metabolic fate may provide insight to their health benefits and protection against chronic disease development. The purpose of this study was to (1) identify WBB anthocyanin and CGA metabolites in human plasma (2) assess bioavailability and biotransformation of WBB anthocyanin and CGA in human (3) measure the acute e↵ects of WBB consumption on glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism. This was a pilot study with healthy male and female volunteers (n=12). Plasma samples were collected at baseline (t=0h), 0.25h, 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h and 24h after consuming a WBB drink (25 g freeze dried WBB powder) with a standard polyphenol free breakfast. The anthocyanins in the WBB drink and their metabolites in human plasma were identified using HPLC-ESI-Q-TOF and quantified by dynamic MRM transitions on HPLC-ESI-QQQ. A total of 30 anthocyanins were identified in the WBB drink. These included glycosides of cyanidin, delphinidin, malvidin, petunidin and peonidin, which were detected in positive mode. Glucose was the most abundant glycoside attachment followed by galactose, arabinose, acetylated glucose, acetylated galactose and xylose. CGAs were also found in the WBB drink in negative mode and confirmed with standards. All the anthocyanins in the WBB drink were found in plasma as well as 3-CGA. The bioavailability for delphinidin, cyandin, malvidin, peonidin, and petunidin were each less than 1% and total bioavailability of WBB anthocyanins was 1.09%. The bioavailability for 3-CGA was 0.22% after consuming 25g WBB powder. The Tmax (time of maximum concentration was achieved) of anthocyanins and 3-CGA was ⇠2h post ingestion. Tmax of phase II metabolites, including petunidin- glucuronide, peonidin-glucuronide, delphinidin-glucuronide and cyanidin-glucuronide was 8.8, 2.6, 6.3 and 7h, respectively. Phenolic acids metabolites, including vanillic acids, ferulic acids, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid, phloroglucinaldehyde, syringic acid were also detected in human plasma during the 24 h period. These results suggest that anthocyanins and CGAs from a WBB drink can be partly absorbed in their intact form in humans and partly transformed to conjugated and degraded metabolites. The data also indicate that there are early phase and late phase appearing metabolites in the blood of humans, which could have important health promoting implications. Future studies will need to be conducted to determine how these pools of metabolites impact physiology and the most sensitive systems to their e↵ect. In the present study, no significant di↵erences on glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism were apparent. This study provides a foundation for further understanding on health benefits of dietary anthocyanins and their metabolites.

Show moreNetwork research, as an experimental science, ought to be reproducible. However, it is not a standard practice to share models, methods or software code to support experimental evaluation and reproducibility when publishing a network research paper. In this work, we advocate reproducible networking experiments by building a unique testbed consisting of container-based network emulation and physical devices. The testbed provides a realistic and scalable platform for reproducing network research. The testbed supports large-scale network experiments using lightweight virtualization techniques and capable of running across distributed physical machines. We utilize the testbed to reproduce network experiments, and demonstrate the e↵ectiveness by comparing the results with the original published network experiments, such as Hedera, a scalable and adaptive traffic flow scheduling system in data center networks.

Show moreAs the deadline for determining which city will host the 2016 Olympics draws near, Chicago, along with Madrid, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo is trying to prove that it should be selected as the Host City. If on October 2nd Chicago is chosen as the Host City for the 2016 Olympics, it will face the enormous task of providing temporary housing for all Olympics and Paralympics participants, including athletes, coaches, organizers and media reporters. Building upon the previous two semesters, our IPRO is proposing an economical and environmentally friendly solution to this challenge. We propose to utilize thousands of old shipping containers that are cluttering up shipping yards all over the Chicago-land area and convert them into a more cost effective alternative to traditional housing units. Since Chicago’s motto for the 2016 Olympics is “the Blue Green Olympics,” which references the way Chicago prides itself in creating sustainable I P R O 3 3 9 solutions, our proposal would only enhance our chances of being selected as the Host City in addition to being a city that thinks “outside of the box.”
