Characterization and improvement of a robotized material removal process

As part of its services, GE Aviation provides rapid repairs for engines, including borescope inspection/blending, line replaceable unit (LRU), fan module, gearbox repair/removal, and many additional workscopes. One of this repair service centers around airfoils. During flight, the compressor and turbine airfoils get damaged by dust and other contaminants. During the overhaul process, the airfoils (also known as ‘’blades’’) get disassembled and repaired. For new parts, many processes make use of the repeatability from the previous operations to perform always the same material removal. These repaired parts have a much wider variability in incoming conditions. However, for the tip repair process, material is typically added by welding at the tip. Then, the original shape is restored by removing the excess material, in a process known as material removal. This step is often performed with manual tools by skilled operators. We aim to automate this material removal process using robotic solutions. The solution also needs to adapt to varying incoming conditions and to a wide selection of part numbers.

Modular Multilevel Converters with Energy Storage – Design, Modeling, and Operation

Modern power systems wherein renewable resources such as solar and wind power are extensively used need to rely on some means for energy storage to address the intermittency of such resources. This proposal investigates a class of power electronic converters that are able to connect battery energy systems to the grid and provide multi-directional pathways for the flow of energy. Various models will be developed for these converters to facilitate their design, analysis, and computer simulations. A large number of advanced studies will be conducted to assess the performance of these converters in networks with high levels of renewable penetration.

Drug Safety and Effectiveness in Canadians During Viral Pandemics – Part 3

Factors that contribute to the generation of misinformation and distrust in Canadians around drug and vaccine safety and effectiveness include the impact of poor-quality or underpowered studies to influence the perception of therapeutic effectiveness, research priorities, and resource allocation; and the lack of understanding in the processes involved in drug and vaccine research, development, monitoring, and approval. Therefore, our project aims to continue on-going work to track and appraise Canadian COVID-19 clinical trials, to conduct a systematic review of Health Canada authorized trials, and to identify the steps and regulations involved in the development, approval, and distribution of safe and effective therapeutics to Canadians. Additionally, we aim to encourage a national network of pharmacologists, pharmacists, and trainees to educate Canadians on drug and vaccine safety and development. Through this work the CSPT can provide leadership in the development of future clinical trials and in educating practitioners and the public on therapeutics.

Building a ‘youth operating system’: Security, safety, inclusivity, and digital platform possibilities for youth-centred social innovation

The research proposed here will explore core issues, risks, and limitations to direct the design and development of a ‘youth
operating system’ (YOS) centred on providing a safe, secure, privacy-preserving, and inclusive multi-featured online
environment for youth. Any project that engages youth requires substantive policies, terms and conditions, and platform
functionality that ensure its Users can interact, communicate, innovate, and organize within a closed system—a system that
is set up specifically as a platform for youth to offer a private and safe space to promote and encourage youth-driven creative
and innovative social opportunities. The research will provide an evidence-based foundation from which Youth Ottawa can
design and deliver a social platform to generate online community-building, civic engagement, social innovation, and intragroup
resilience that is secure, ethical, accessible, and equitable for youth.

SSE_DANNY GERMAIN_INDIVIOR_Elsa Saadé – Conversion des monographies de produit de la compagnie en format SPL/XML

La conversion des monographies de produit en format SPL/XML est un projet qui sera basé sur les nouvelles lignes directrices de Santé Canada. Ces lignes directrices visent une harmonisation dans le vocabulaire, le format et la forme des Monographies de Produit des compagnies pharmaceutiques au Canada. Ce projet permettra à l’organisme partenaire de s’apprêter au moment venu où ce nouveau format sera obligatoire pour toute nouvelle soumission à l’Agence Canadienne. En adoptant une stratégie d’organisation et de collaboration avec les différents experts du domaine, ce projet pourra être mis à bout dans les délais exigés par Santé Canada, permettant ainsi une conformité aux règlements. Le format XML étant un format plus transportable, ce projet contribuera à l’amélioration de l’accès aux informations relatives aux médicaments pour les patients ainsi que pour les professionnels de la Santé. Via ce projet, une évaluation du processus établi permettra l’établissement de recommandations pour les dossiers futurs. Enfin une retroaction à Santé Canada sur le processus et les défis rencontrés sera effectuée tout au long du processus.

NEZU Study—An Indigenous Designed Sensory Intervention for Stress & Anxiety

Aurora Heat, Inc. is a seasonal social enterprise that earns the bulk of its revenue during the Fall and Winter months. In order to curb seasonal influxes of cash flow, the organization has prototyped and informally tested a new to market sensory intervention product called the NEZU™. The NEZU™ is an Indigenous-designed sensory intervention made from sheared beaver fur that soothes symptoms of stress and anxiety. Wholly innovative, the design solves a market gap as natural and biodegradable sensory interventions rooted in traditional knowledge and materials currently do not exist. Offering an unparalleled sensory experience due to the velvety and cloud-like softness of sheared beaver fur, the NEZU™ is also smudged with healing intentions for the recipient. Current options are designed to distract users to bring them out of distressing sensations. In contrast, the NEZU™ offers comfort, allowing the user to fully process difficult emotions or uncomfortable physiological sensations.
An opportunity in achieving market acceptance in western-dominant cultures lies in the scientific-validated efficacy of the NEZU™. In order to achieve this, Indigenous academic partners from the University of Calgary have designed an ethics-approved study to test the sensory intervention’s efficacy.

Morphai

Dream’s continuous landscape of consciousness in science, technology and culture opens up to the gamification of sleep and potential of avatars. Eponymous of the human shapes dream god Morpheus sent to dreamers in Greek mythology, “Morphai” is a trans-consciousness multi-realities game where the animated character’s body movement is controlled by the signals from the sleeping human subject’s motor cortex captured by BCI devices. During the MITACS residency, Yiou will run a workshop for up to 40 participants on the project Morphai as a part of Sociability of Sleep. Based in both the Moving Image Research Lab and the Sleep Lab at McGill, project Morphai will explore the breadth of sociability across participants of various states of consciousness, where a waking player and a dreaming player share the same VR space and engage in prosocial behavior and be in each other’s company, through a player-controlled character’s interaction in game space with a dream-consciousness-controlled morphai.

Physics-informed Machine Learning for Turbulent Separated Flows Using Smart Sensors

Real-time prediction of incoming turbulence has important practical utility in the control and monitoring of fluid systems. Flow estimation using smart sensing techniques will improve our ability to predict and control these flows. However, current sensor-based flow reconstruction methods have not been tested to effectively resolve multi-scale, chaotic and unsteady turbulent phenomena that are commonly encountered in industry. Moreover, the relatively more powerful machine learning (ML) methods still require large amounts of data to train these models on real turbulent flows, rendering their potential to be used in deployed systems impractical. The proposed 24-week multi-disciplinary project involves the development of novel physics-informed ML methods that use sparsely placed wall pressure sensors to predict entire three-dimensional unsteady turbulent flowfields. The success of the project will lead to a robust ML-driven framework that (1) requires significantly less training data, (2) yields more physically consistent predictions and, (3) can predict missing dimensions from limited information.
