Show moreCAPTCHAs (Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart) are used to prevent automated access to sensitive information online. In its usual format, users are presented with distorted text and asked to enter the displayed text in an answer box. If successful, humans, but not computers, will be able to interpret the distorted text. Another format of CAPTCHAs asks users to identify audio information (usually a string of digits or phrase of words) that has been distorted or placed against a background of noise (\white" noise, reversed speech, etc.). Users type the words they hear into an answer box. The audio format is intended to be accessible to blind and low-vision users who cannot use the visually-based format. Unfortunately, audio CAPTCHAs are di cult for humans to use (Bigham and Cavendar 2009) but relatively easy for computers to solve (Tam et al. 2008), which is exactly the opposite outcome desired. To take two extreme examples, in one recent study (Sauer et al. 2008), users were able to solve only 46 percent of audio CAPTCHAs, while in another study (Burztein and Bethard 2009), a computer program was able to break 75 percent of audio CAPTCHAs. At issue is whether audio CAPTCHAs can be designed so that users can easily solve them but computers cannot. Yan and Ahmad (2008) propose testing di erent kinds of background noise to determine which is the most e ective at blocking computers but admitting humans. To this end, Tam et al. (2008) suggest using other human voices as background noise (to thwart computers) but familiar phrases as the string to decode (to aid listeners). The current project will focus on selecting from a set of potential solutions to test.

Show moreThe IPRO 337 team’s objectives for this semester is to make further progress in updating the top floor of Machinery Hall into a lab for future energy and lighting technology research and for the space itself to be able to be as sustainable as possible throughout research this semester. Since the end goal is a rather ambitious one, a more realistic goal is to have an energy plan for following IPRO’s to work off of and to have the space cleared so that the developed plan can be tested. The team hopes to generate willingness in its members to establish an environment conducive to team-oriented goals, as outlined in the objectives below. Successful completion of the goals presented here will require each participant to gain useful experience and knowledge regarding teamwork, inter-professional skills and specifically sustainable energy systems. For this fall semester, the team has set forth the following objectives:  Research office utilities that consume low amounts of energy, and investigate how to improve the efficiency of current utilities.  Research and test various energy efficient lighting solutions.  Research environmentally friendly floor, wall, and ceiling finishes along with necessary office furniture.  Develop a website to display the development progress of the Zero-Energy Lab and provide information regarding “green technology”  Clean and prepare the 6,000 ft2 space for future inhabitants.  Using the research, develop a program proposal for the Zero-Energy Lab.

Show moreThe problem posed at Queen of Peace High School is one of sustainability. The IPRO 314 team will focus on the reuse and greening of existing school facilities. Three major projects currently hold latent potential for the school: the communications center, the sustainability wall, and the overall greening of the facilities. If these projects are completed correctly, they will become a catalyst for positive change. We are proposing to create a transition from library to communication center because of its isolated state in the school. The sustainability wall is two-fold in terms of benefit. It will upgrade the current windows which are lacking and will create an interesting learning tool. Greening of the entire school is the third project and includes windows, roofing, etc. to improve efficiency. Through the use of all three proposals, IPRO 314 believes in the school promotion and what enrollment it could bring.

Show moreRecreational fishing in the United States generates over a billion dollars of economic output and providing well over a million American’s with jobs. There are many variations of fishing hooks available that retain the same basic shape and structure, the most popular examples being, the standard J-hook and the standard treble hook. However, there are many limitations associated with existing fishing hooks. One such limitation is that fishing hooks are not able to reliably hold the fish after embedding. Introducing a barb to the hook helps resolve this issue, doing so however creates problems when setting the hook and furthermore, barbs can cause damage to the fish during the removal of the hook. Another concern is that contemporary fishing hooks have problems with snagging on nearby rock formations, algae, weeds, or other vegetation in the water.

The company was founded in 1977 by John Calamos. The company’s cornerstone strategy is risk management. Calamos Investments underwent rapid growth, from managing $5 billion in assets in 1999 to over $45 in 2006. During this period, a lot of the personal touch that permeated the interaction between clients and the company’s leadership was lost. The number of clients grew too quickly. A high level of personal interaction between John Calamos and its core investors became difficult to attain. The IPRO 303 team attempted to digitally leverage John Calamos by researching and piloting new methods of customer interaction utilizing digital communication technologies.

Show moreThe aim of this IPRO was to assist our community partner the Save the Ramova Group, in developing new ideas for the renovation of the Ramova Theatre, which is located on the south side of the cross street of 35th and Halsted in Bridgeport. The theatre which has been around since the 1930’s has fallen into disrepair and has suffered a lot of damage over the years due to no maintenance and weathering through the seasons. The renovation of the theatre would not only mark the revival of a nostalgic memory but it would open up new avenues of development along the Halsted St. Corridor in addition to being a place that people in and around Bridgeport can go to for entertainment and leisure close to their homes. This semester the IPRO team started building a design initiative from scratch; by creating and handing out surveys to various groups of people, along with creating different studies in order to gain information on the needs and wants of the community along with the perspectives of the vast different groups of people in the neighbouring areas. After the data collection, it was analysed and as a result a preliminary program was drawn up by the group along with a cash flow report called a proforma that shows the feasibility of the project. In the following semesters the IPRO team should be able to develop the preliminary program into a sustainable design of the renovated theater as well as analyse the feasibility of the design and integrate the various building systems into the design in order to restore the Ramova to a fully working condition.

Show moreOver the years there has been intensive research on visual prosthesis around the world and significant technological advancements have been made. The Intracortical Visual Prosthesis Team (IVP) at IIT has been researching and developing a procedure as well as a device which will be implanted within the human visual cortex. The device consists of sub-miniature electrodes which will artificially stimulate the visual cortex by introducing electrical currents in to the cortex. The IIT Team has reached a point in their 10 year development process where they would like to proceed with implanting the device in a volunteer in the next few years. Implantation of a device which provides artificial vision is an extraordinarily complex process. In the initial stages the medical and engineering aspects are the most prevalent ones, but as the project moves forward there are some questions that inevitably must be answered or at least considered. These questions deal much less with the technology and much more with the volunteers that will eventually have these complex devices implanted. To try and answer some of these questions, in IPRO 306 we will look into various medical, political, engineering, ethical, media and psychological issues that we believe may become of greater importance as the project progresses into the implementation stage. We will also look into the public relations aspect as well as some political and psychological issues. Based on our research and understanding we will provide several issues that we see as needing to be addressed in the future and recommend possible solutions to them.
