Show moreThe goal of the IPRO is to try to find an inexpensive, but accurate way of measuring the power output of a rider on a bicycle. Problems with systems currently available are: some products are not compatible with all bike systems causing the need to purchase new parts, the cost of the available products is expensive, and some of the available measuring systems are not very accurate.

Show moreA collapsible, transportable personnel isolation apparatus or device is used to isolate a patient in a controlled environment and to protect the patient against biological or chemical hazards during transport of the patient. The collapsible apparatus has a flexible containment wall which is expandable from a collapsed, stored state to an expanded state to receive the patient. At least a portion of the containment wall is clear to allow observation of the patient within an interior region of the device. An air filtration system is provided for filtering air between the airtight interior region and the ambient atmosphere. Preferably, the apparatus has various ports therein, such as glove ports, pass through ports, access ports for cardiac leads, infusion line ports, and ventilation ports. Preferably, an air filtration device provides a flow rate of 4 to 6 cfm to prevent an undesirable build-up of carbon dioxide and provides a predetermined air pressure within the interior regions. In one form, the containment device is a clam shell litter type for transport of a prone patient and in another form the device is a jacket type with a hood defining an air impermeable chamber for an ambulatory patient who carries an ambulatory air filtration device for supplying and filtering the air impermeable chamber.

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 and grounds. Three major spaces currently hold latent potential at the school: the abandoned convent/dormitory, library and inner courtyards, used correctly they can become a catalyst for positive change. It is proposed that the dormitory be torn down, in its place a “community center” would be constructed. The space will service extracurricular activities at the school, public outreach programs (i.e. youth groups, cub/girl scouts, etc.), club rooms and a new space for library books storage and usage. The second space being addressed is the library, given its current isolated position the space would be transformed into a communication and media center equipped with the technology necessary for worldwide communication. The third space addressed is the inner courtyards of the building. With six dispersed throughout the school grounds, they can become an active part of the recreational aspect of the school’s environment: places of social interaction, outdoor classrooms, etc. Additionally, the greening techniques proposed for the school’s facilities will include methods for efficiency improvement, education and school promotion.

Show moreThe problem posed with blind and visually impaired (BVI) swimmers is one of safety and independence. BVI individuals need to be able to orientate themselves in a swimming pool and avoid obstructions like lane-lines, pool walls and other swimmers for a safe experience. Additionally, it is important to BVI swimmers to maintain their independence and maintain a low profile during this experience. The Buoy team will focus on the design, testing and implementation of assistive technology focused on a pool environment with continuous input and feedback from the BVI community. A current passive device created in previous IPROs will be field-tested in a BVI pool for the semester in order to identify failure-modes of the device and collect real-world BVI user feedback to discover areas for improvement. Additionally, two groups have been organized to assess the use of invisible-fence and ultrasound technology in the creation of new assistive technology. Surveys and interviews will be conducted with the BVI community on a continuous basis to ensure the Buoy team is meeting the needs of the market.

Show moreIPRO 344 investigated methods for safe, low-cost community gardening in the urban setting. Most community gardens within large cities are sited in vacant lots that have been previously built upon. When the structures that once occupied these sites were demolished, the debris filled the basements of the structures, and was then covered by a shallow layer of nutrient poor dirt. The resulting vacant lots pose two problems for community gardening. First, the ground becomes tough and nearly impossible to manually prepare for gardening purposes. Second, the presence of lead and mercury from the paint and other construction materials has been incorporated into the soil, which can be harmful when transferred into plants which are then ingested. Since most community gardens in low-income neighborhoods do provide food, it became the aim of IPRO 344 to inexpensively grow plants which would be safe to eat in an urban community garden.

Show moreDo you love the zoo? Do you wish you could see all of the animals and learn about them too in just one easy visit? Our IPRO team is creating an iPhone application to do just that. We’re working with the Brookfield Zoo education staff and animal researchers to develop a guided inquiry process that will assist users in finding and identifying animals. Getting closer to an animal is a breeze. Because the animals’ locations are mapped, you can find them easily on foot or identify them by their color, pattern, and shape. Learn fun facts about any animal you choose while watching videos and scrolling through pictures. We’re working to create the best tour guide for the zoo that fits in your pocket.

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.

FMS is primarily a collections company that is growing rapidly. Each year FMS receives accounts from private and government agencies and must collect from those accounts in order to receive a commission, their payment. The IPRO team had met with the sponsor many times over the course of the semester to gather requirements, map and layout FMS’ process model and in general have a better understanding of what FMS does. The team needed a better understanding of the problem and what the problem meant for FMS. FMS is in need of a tool that is able to track accounts over the course of their loan rehabilitation program quickly and effectively allow the tracking of trends over a period of time.
