  1. UPRC TeamFall 2006 Projects: UPTV ILE Computer Coaching

  2. UPTV Hardware & Software Design Ilhwang Chung Brian Lee Vince Ruppert Eric Buysse

  3. UPTV - Description • It is a closed-circuit TV network device that broadcasts computer generated images, slides to the residents of University Place. • Planed to replace the current system, VCTV in the near future.

  4. Goals 1. Debug the current audio system 2. Rewire the current device 3. Documentation for future uses4. Develop a database suitable to service UPTV and web-based applications. 5. Build a development system at the Smitty’s Lab6. Implement timer to the current system & change the current dip-switch to more suitable one.

  5. Team Role Ilhwang Chung, Brian Lee • Audio debugging • Timer & Switch Implementing • Development system Vince Ruppert • Web-based applications using a database Eric Buysse • Rewiring & Documentations

  6. Design • Specification Development - Timer & Switch • Redesign (Testing & Debugging) - Audio section (VCR) • Database Development - Web-based Application

  7. Data - Chassis Layout

  8. Data - Schematic of Overall UPTV System

  9. Data – Video MUX Circuit

  10. Data – Audio MUX Circuit

  11. Database Schematic

  12. ILE Semester Plan Eric Buysse, Melissa Dunn, Rachael Fischer, Kendall McEwan

  13. Project Members • Project Leader: Melissa Dunn -- Second year graduate student in the Audiology Doctorate program • Project Members: • Eric Buysse -- Sophomore in Electrical Engineering • Kendall McEwan and Rachael Fischer – 2nd year graduate students in the Audiology Doctorate program • All members are new to UPRC

  14. Project Partner Interaction • 3 meetings with John Lindenlaub • 1 trip to UPRC • Saw the layout of the 2 rooms we are dealing with (the dining room and the great room) • Were able to get feedback from residents regarding the work that’s been done, and have incorporated their interest in a report on the noise levels in the dining room into our semester plan

  15. Current Progress and Plan • Dining Room • This will be the focus of Rachael’s senior design • We have obtained the data from last semester’s team members, and reviewed it quickly • This semester, we will put signs that say “Sit Hear” on the tables with better listening conditions, as concluded from the research done last semester (these signs were made last week) • We plan to make a document describing the findings of the data from last semester • Great Room • This will be the focus of Kendall’s Senior Design • We will research better ways to connect the sound systems of the two rooms • Eric will be indispensable in this part of the project, and we will probably call on the help of our other teammates with engineering expertise on other projects • We will update the research done last semester regarding ALDs and analyze which ALD will be most appropriate for UPRC

  16. Last Semester’s Progress • Dining Room sub-project • A survey of residents was performed • Noise levels for different areas of the dining room were obtained during mealtime, but results are unreliable, so new measurements will need to be taken • Locations of sound level meters is vague • Graphs describing results were unclear • Great Room sub-project • A temporary connection between the 2 rooms was made using a microphone from one room hung in front of the speakers from the other • Started preliminary research on Assistive Listening Devices

  17. Current Progress and Plan • 2 new sub-projects for this semester: • These will be the focus of Melissa’s Senior Design • Working with UPTV to add audio to the power point, and put tips for listening strategies into the power point • Compiling a list of tips on how to build a room with good acoustics for the use of the Franciscan Sisters of Chicago

  21. Design Process and Completion • The project charter was written last semester • We are currently in the Specification Development phase for parts of our project, including the connection of the two sound systems, but we are quickly moving towards the Conceptual Design Phase, particularly regarding the ALDs, this means we will start and possibly complete the Project Specification Document this semester • The project was started in Spring of 2005, with a completion date of Spring of 2007. However, the addition of two sub-projects will extend this date.

  22. Computer Coaching Project Emeka Okorafor

  23. Project Description The objective of this project is to provide the residents of University Place instruction to improve their computer skills. We plan to do this by assembling a team of volunteers that will coach the residents in various computer skills. Support from volunteer networks for continuity.

  24. Project Status Documentation • No training manual • No design process documentation Resources • Freshman group training this week • Training schedule by next week

  25. Semester Objectives • Train freshman volunteer group • Complete Computer Coaching Sessions • Complete training manual • Complete feedback survey for methods improvement • Reload training volunteer group for Spring
