Biomarkers of Spinal Cord Injury

In this project, we will establish biomarkers that objectively reflect the severity of injury, measure its progression, and predict neurologic outcome after acute spinal cord injury (SCI). This will be accomplished by comprehensively analyzing blood and spinal fluid samples from acute SCI patients. In addition, we will conduct a parallel experimental study in a large animal model of SCI with a similar analysis of blood and spinal fluid samples. In addition, we will utilize the large animal model of SCI to establish the changes in blood supply, oxygenation, pressure, and metabolism after injury, in order to measure the progression of secondary damage and predicting (and possibly altering) the neurologic outcome. This work is beneficial to the Rick Hansen Institute as it is closely aligned with their mission to “identify, develop, validate, and accelerate the translation of evidence and best practices to reduce the incidence and severity of paralysis after SCI”.

Stochastic optimization of a hydroelectric production system for the aluminium industry

Rio Tinto operates aluminium plants in Saguenay that are powered by their hydroelectric system. An efficient management of water available in the system is primordial to ensure energy supply to the aluminium smelters. This quantity is uncertain since the exact inflows in the reservoirs are unknown when decisions are taken. Stochastic optimization is used to make decisions under uncertainty. Mid-term optimization models determine reservoir volumes while short-term models dispatch the available water as efficiently as possible between the power plants and turbines in the system. The goal of this project is to develop operational optimization models for Rio Tinto by coupling the mid and short-term models and by developing a method to define a calendar of unit outages. The optimization models must consider energy demand, hydrologic forecast uncertainty as well as uncertainty linked to the outage of smelters. Their use leads to using water efficiently and operational costs reduction.

Design of a Generic Framework for Custom Hardware Integration into the Android Platform

The design of a perfect hardware accelerator has always amounted to only a moderate victory if poor software support is provided. Hardware accelerators are found in everyday devices and are beginning to take hold in mobile platforms including video codecs to security based hardware solutions. The key to an effective hardware solution is the interface provided to it from a software perspective. If the interface is confusing or deviates from standardized practices, costs and time to market increase while the manufacturer’s brand suffers. Here, we look to explore the interaction between hardware and software while considering both design perspectives. A transparent mechanism will be described which adheres to existing design flows and respects legacy code. Elliptic Technologies Inc. looks to use this research project to further improve their excellent product integration directions and facilitate ease of use with their customers lowering development costs and time to market.

Design of an Interface for the Intuitive Control of a Unmanned Air Vehicle fleet in Emergency Situations

The project consist of developing a novel interface to control a fleet of quadcopters in an emergency situation. The interactive system will have to interpret the user intent in such a way that minimum cognitive resources are required. Humanitas products target non experts in robotics whom need to maximize their concentration on medical support and logistic, thus they require an intuitive and not monopolizing control interface. It will also be required that feedback information can be sent to the user without using the visual feedback of their application control screen. The sensors selected to gather relevant data on the user intents will also serve to enhance the situation awareness of the crew and be shared over the network to inform about each user state. The solution will rely on minimal low-cost hardware on each users and high-level behavioral algorithm to ensure the quadcopter fleet is autonomous.

Implementation and Evaluation of an Integrated Chiropractic Service for Musculoskeletal Conditions into the Canadian Forces Health Service – Year 2

Low back pain is a leading cause of disability worldwide. The Canadian Armed Forces (CF) has a greater incidence of LBP than the general population. LBP is responsible for a large proportion of medical releases in the CF with many cases resulting in lifelong pain and disability. Improved early access to evidence-based care could help prevent chronicity and recurrences, and reduce health care costs. The purpose of this project is to implement and evaluate a new inter-disciplinary, patient-centred health care service that includes chiropractic services for the management of LBP in the CF. The main outcomes are clinical (e.g., level of pain and function), and return to duty of CF members who require care for LBP. If successful, the partner organizations would benefit in fulfilling their mission to serve their members and the public by advancing the understanding and use of chiropractic care.

Multi-Criteria Supply Chain Design and Management Tool for Food Convergent Innovation in Dairy Business – Year 2

This project will develop new operational management systems by combining the elements of Lean, Agile, Green, Resilient and Nutrition (LAGRN) management of the dairy supply chain. The supply chain of Parmalat Canada will be used as a case study. This study is particularly significant for a company like Parmalat Canada, as it is trying to accommodate the conflict and convergence of elements of LAGRN aspects of the supply chain. However, the convergence of the different elements in dairy supply chain design and management is made particularly challenging by both the diversity of its products in terms of perishability/shelf life in particular, and by the supply-managed nature of the domestic sector as international supply chains and markets are spreading worldwide.

Multi-Criteria Supply Chain Design and Management Tool for Food Convergent Innovation in Dairy Business

The project will develop a firm-level multi-criteria supply chain design and management tool for Parmalat that will accommodate conflict and convergence between requirements for lean, agile, green, resilient, and nutrition characteristics that are all needed for convergent innovation (CI) in the dairy sector supply chain. A three-pronged program of activity is proposed in this project that comprehends: (1) a multi-layered supply chain analysis for four of the core product categories at Parmalat (yogurt, hard cheese, drinking milks and ingredients/whey protein), with methods anchored in lean production principles and progressively adding considerations of agile, green, resilient and nutrition characteristics; (2) an institutional analysis of the supply management context in the Canadian dairy sector to identify constraints and possibilities for food manufacturing companies in domestic and international markets; (3) a multi-stakeholder, multi-criteria decision making process for the firm-level tool development per se.

EARtrode, a wireless in-ear custom-fitted intelligent brain computer interface – Year 2

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) can directly translate human intentions into discrete commands, bypassing the motor system. Most non-invasive BCI systems currently in use are based on electroencephalography (EEG) recording technology. While traditional EEG-based BCIs achieve high information transfer rates, these systems have two major limitations. First, they cannot be used in daily life as they do not tolerate natural movements. Second, the equipment, a cap or headband and electrodes, would be inadequate for social settings. Thus, the goal of this project is to develop a wireless EEG-based BCI system able to both tolerate natural movement and record brain signals using miniaturized electrodes placed unobtrusively in and around the ear. The specific goals of this project include the adaptation of existing in-ear EEG device to fulfill the functional requirements of the project, the validation of the quality of the EEG signals recorded and the design of the new paradigms for real-time experimentation.
