This project is concerned with the design and development of an automobile-based communication system to provide means for out-of-towners, while on the road, to obtain theater tickets, restaurant reservations, hotel accommodations and parking space locations in a large urban setting while en route from remote origins. This system uses wireless communication techniques and GPS to obtain the above services and, in addition, the location of desired addresses and redirection advice to avoid traffic jams, etc. |
This system provides a greater dimension of useful functions than any GPS system now in use and thus more fully serves the needs of automobile-born tourists in the USA.
This project has been completed. |

This project leverages wireless networking technology to provide unique improvements in real estate sales and marketing. Building on existing and future portable communication devices including laptop computers, Smart-phones, PDA's and Blackberries, this system concept provides real estate agents with a virtual mobility to deal with more sales opportunities per work day. |
The conceived system is seen to provide a speed of response to opportunities that should significantly speed up the home-sales process through an imaginative exploitation of wireless technology.

This project addresses the design and development of a surfboard that is appropriate for use by novices and children. The key to this is found in the shape and placement of the stabilizing fins and their excellence in achieving a degree of stable movement that produces an unsuspected degree of safety. |
In this study a concept is presented and reasons to believe that a significant, hitherto untouched market exists for such a product.
The project is complete. |

The Aegis Information Systems is a small Connecticut-based IT company serving the small to medium-sized business market and a specialized provider of customized server-based computing technologies. Their ASP-based applications provide a company's employees, partners, and customers with the ability to access IT resources from any location, using any device, over virtually any connection type. |
This project analyzed the technical, business, and marketing environment of AEGIS Information Systems resultinig in an unbiased opinion of the steps required to help grow the business.

The goal of this project was to design code and test a Web crawler to research the Web, gather documents into a file distributed to subscribers. Besides using currently available indexing and classification algorithms, KnowIT should be able to judge page content by quality rather than popularity. The team also designed new user interface to allow the manipulation of indexing algorithms |
Many components of this long-term project have now been tested successfully. Future work on the project should integrate these components into a product of value to SOE faculty as they design state-of-the-art coursework.
The project should be continued. |

Inductance Modeling Using New Electro-magnetism |
Robert Distinti |
Dougas Lyon |
The goal of this research was to model inductive properties of circuits using a novel approach to electromagnetic physics known as "New Electromagnetism (NE)." The inductive properties modeled include self inductance, mutual inductance, intrinsic inductance and other effects coupled through a magnetic field, allowing more accurate modeling of the high-speed circuit properties critical to developing reliable, efficient and cost-effective printed circuits and integrated circuits. |
NE provides an order of magnitude improvement in both precision and computation time over the classical approach using partial inductance (PI) due to the fact that it is a simple "line of sight" model for which complex field abstractions are unnecessary. These results compared favorably with experimental data.
