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.

Show moreThe Spring 2005 IPRO 305 team will be continuing the efforts of ongoing research at IIT in the realm of Pervasive Computing. The team will be focusing on the challenge of integrating Pervasive Computing into a specific aspect of the IIT campus. The overall vision of the IPRO 305 team is to continue efforts to develop an application called HawkTour – a virtual Illinois Institute of Technology tour guide. HawkTour will provide a completely new approach to the campus tour at IIT. The application has been designed to run on Tablet PC’s or other devices with similar computing capabilities, and provides the user with general campus information while guiding the user around campus and maintaining complete awareness of the user’s current location and intent, thereby adapting the tour to the user’s own personal preferences. The objective for this semester’s team is to refine the application and come up with a new version with an optimized content database, a more sophisticated hardware interface, improve the mapping methodology, work on the user interface and scale of the application to simpler devices such as cell phones and personal digital assistants.

Show moreInformal observations of a practical and creative approach piloting Blended Library Instruction for undergraduate Civil Architecture and Engineering students, in collaboration with faculty. At Illinois Institute of Technology students don’t receive library instruction as a required class or in tandem with a composition class. Faculty will schedule one-time sessions, which ideally should be planned with a class assignment in mind, but students are rarely engaged with a one time instruction. Many have IKIA syndrome or I Know It Already syndrome. The Millennials are a group that has integrated technology into every aspect of their lives and they assume that retrieving useful or necessary information will be easy. When they discover this isn’t the case lack of time, heightened anxiety, and increased frustration can prevent them from doing their best work. By intentionally creating a similar crisis prior to library instruction, students were more interested in what they stood to gain during pending library instruction. In this presentation we will discuss: 1) A creative means of delivering library instruction to a traditionally challenging population: engineering undergraduate students 2) Qualitative information collected via multiple assignments and interpreted in a quantitative fashion, as well as our observations. 3) A method for preparing students for library instruction that can be applied in almost any discipline without asking the instructor to sacrifice class time.

Show moreThe goal of IPRO 348 is to first find a use for the condensate produced by air conditioners, and then to create a product that will recycle the condensate for said use. The first task for IPRO 348 is to collect information on how condensate is formed, its purity, and the amount that is produced by a central air conditioning system. The end goal of the IPRO is to have a marketable system that will collect and store the condensate produced by the air conditioning units and will then proceed to use the condensate in the form of cleaning water, irrigation water, and possibly various plumbing purposes such as flushing toilets. After creating a viable product, the IPRO team is determined to make the product scalable, expanding its market from residential to commercial industries. To fulfill this goal, the IPRO team has been broken down into subgroups which are each responsible for a different objective. The first subgroup is responsible for the creation of a device that will allow for the condensate to be collected and stored. The second subgroup is responsible for analyzing the collected sample’s composition and checking for bacterial growth. The third subgroup is responsible for setting the parameters and methods for condensate collection. The fourth subgroup is responsible for obtaining the condensate samples from various sites, as well as collecting environmental data. The fifth subgroup is responsible for beginning the marketing aspects of the project. As a whole, the IPRO team will determine how the project should progress.

Sparrowhawk has investigated the concept for an innovative fishing hook that is not currently on the market or ready to be launched. The members of IPRO 358 will work together to design mock-ups of the DHT, test the mock-ups, and determine measures that can be taken to improve the DHT. Subsequent mock-ups will continue to improve based on results of the product testing. Simultaneously, we will be working towards better understanding the consumer’s behavior. This will aid in the determination of the probable distribution channels and the strategies to best use them.

To accomplish this mission, we will: 1. Determine the water balance around a typical facility 2. Perform a qualitative assessment of the viability of the three technologies above toward meeting zero discharge. 3. Determine the size, first cost and operating cost for each combination of zero discharge unit operations considered 4. Identify creative options for reusing treated discharge water within the plant 5. Identify emerging technologies that might play a major role in the future.

Show moreIndustrial continuous processes may have a large number of process variables and are usually operated for extended periods at fixed operating points under closed-loop control, yielding process measurements that are autocorrelated, cross-correlated and collinear. A statistical process monitoring (SPM) method based on multivariate statistics and system theory is introduced to monitor the variability of such processes. The statistical model that describes the in-control variability is based on a canonical-variate (CV) stare-space model that is an equivalent representation of a vector autoregressive moving-average rime-series model. The CV state variables obtained from the state-space model are linear combinations of the past process measurements that explain the variability of the future measurements the most. Because of this distinctive feature, the CV state variables are regarded as the principal dynamic directions A T-2 statistic based on the CV state variables is used for developing an SPM procedure. Simple examples based on simulated data and an experimental application based on a high-temperature short-time milk pasteurization process illustrate advantages of the proposed SPM method.

As the major highway and railroad crossroad, Chicago receives the bulk of this intercontinental inter-modal traffic, making it the third largest container port in the world.
