Show moreUsers of speech recognition technology often hyperarticulate (i.e., exaggerate) their speech in response to recognition failures and subsequent requests to repeat (e.g., \I'm sorry, I didn't understand, please repeat the input."). Hyperarticula- tion usually leads to further recognition failure. The goal of the current project is to develop a protocol for testing di erent talker characteristics of voice prompts in speech recognizers with an aim towards minimizing hyperarticulated speech from users. This IPRO is equally suited to students interested in the more tech- nical aspects of acoustic phonetics and voice recognition as well as the cognitive aspects of predicting user behavior in technology-mediated environments.

The constraints may utilize each and every type or combination of subject, object, or environment information extracted from sources internal or external to the controlled computer system and may evaluate the content or context of the information extracted to enable refined and dynamic access after the role permission assignment and immediately before every access grant without the reassignment of roles.

Show moreOur objectives are fairly straightforward. If the genetic code can be called its own language, then we want to become fluent in it. The current technology does not allow us the ability to “write our own novel” (i.e. make a new organism from scratch), but what we can do is write our own pamphlet. This semester, we are trying to complete our test case, which is to create a colony of Escherichia coli that flash different colors all in unison. Once we complete this task, we hope to export this system into higher organisms, such as Zebrafish (Danio rerio). We are also seeking to move forward conceptually by planning long term goals for the Ipro, such as the development of not just test cases, but new, useful organisms.

Show moreFabrication Laboratories (Fab Labs) were started as a community outreach program by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to provide digital fabrication tools for rapid prototyping to the general public. The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago (MSI) has partnered with this IPRO to further develop their existing Fab Lab. IPRO 333 has been assigned the task of working with the Fab Lab administrators to design methodologies for furthering the use of the laboratory and determining its end goals for both the museum and the community. Once these goals are established, we will support them with a list of projects that we will create and execute. By working with the lab directors to broaden the possible uses of the lab, we hope to encourage hands-on learning in local schools. This will promote membership at MSI and involve the community in science and technology programs and education. To accomplish this, we have broken into two teams, each of which will focus on a different audience. The first team will be responsible for designing and creating programs for more advanced and knowledgeable users of the equipment specific to the Fab Lab, such as the students enrolled in the Science Achievers program as well as museum members; the second team will be responsible for designing and implementing programs for less advanced users with more constrained timeframes, such as visiting families or groups of school children.

Show moreLeveraging the existing technologies currently available in the marketplace enables the IPRO to create a team-networking solution that reaches more stakeholders and provides a richer, more enhanced venue for project collaboration. The solution devised by the IPRO must be easily accessible and interactive allowing for data capture, storage, retrieval and viewing amongst an array of end-user devices. To provide a successful solution, this IPRO will storyboard the concept over the summer, prototype the concept during the fall and execute usability studies the prototype during the spring semesters.

Show moreOutbreaks of human norovirus are commonly attributed to fresh produce and multi-ingredient foods that have received significant handling immediately prior to consumption. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of gloved and ungloved hands on norovirus transfer during fresh produce preparation. The palm and fingers of bare or gloved (polyvinyl, vinyl or nitrile) hands were inoculated with approximately 7-log PFU/hand murine norovirus (MNV-1). Freshly chopped Romaine lettuce was handled by the contaminated hands, and then sampled to determine the transfer coefficient. MNV-1 transfer was also measured from chopped contaminated lettuce to clean bare or gloved hands. In addition, pulsed light was investigated, in a preliminary study, for its ability to inactivate MNV-1 on the surface of food contact surfaces including the various glove types and Romaine lettuce, and thus prevent the spread of contamination. Transfer of MNV-1 occurred more readily to (up to 45%) Romaine lettuce than from (less than 12%) it. Transfer to Romaine lettuce was greater (p<0.05) from vinyl gloves than bare hands and the other glove types tested, while no significant difference (p>0.05) in transfer from lettuce to the different glove types was observed. The results indicate that norovirus transfer can occur readily in a food service setting, and that transfer coefficients are affected by the type of surfaces involved. MNV-1 was reduced by pulsed light by >4-log within 30 sec on all surfaces except nitrile gloves, indicating the potential for this technology to be employed in a food service setting to control the spread of noroviruses during food preparation.

Show moreIt is our objective to create a medium in which to combine the need of proficient web developers for university projects/ jobs as well as others looking for similar services outside of the university, with IIT students looking to gain experience as well as payment, whether through class credits or through wages. We plan to create a business model of a consulting firm that seeks out clients, as well as having clients brought to the firm, realize their needs, create a design document of their proposed website, then seek out the students with the capabilities matching the clients needs and “hire” them for the job, all the while maintaining that the quality of the student’s work will be sufficient to the client and therefore sufficient for our consulting firm. The start up companies/clients we gain will receive knowledge, expertise, and fresh ideas for a much needed website for their company/project. On the other hand the students will receive real-life experience working for a client in a certain timetable, with a standardized set of guidelines while also receiving some form of compensation.

Show moreIPRO 324, Disaster Recovery: Do-It-Yourself Home Building, is focused on designing a building manual to aid disaster victims in building new buildings. The objectives of this group are to continue the efforts made from the previous semester. This includes the creation of a manual illustrating how to build the design, design for handicap accessibility as a provision to the current design, to market this manual to a disaster relief organization that would be responsible for the distribution, to find a new client who would be interested in having this project built, and to find funding in order to build the design. Over the course of this semester, the team will be focusing on creating the manual and attempting to build the design at a site either in New Harmony, Louisana or Gulfport, Mississippi where potential clients are. The house at a bare minimum consists of a multipurpose room, a kitchen, and a bathroom; and will cost approximately $17,000. This is an affordable home/structure considering the cost of building a house now. The team is aware that some families are not fortunate enough to have a savings of $20,000 when these unexpected disasters occur. For this reason, it is an objective of the team to obtain funding.
