Reward circuits neuroprosthesis to shape movement execution

Most neurotraumas affecting the control of movements are partial, allowing some recovery of movement with time and rehabilitation. Motivation and persistence through this difficult process are crucial in mediating rehabilitation-dependent recovery, but are negatively affected by the physical and psychological challenges that accompany neurotrauma. We know that the reward network of the brain is involved in both the learning and reinforcement of behavior, as well as the recovery of motor functions after injury, but its conditioning of precise movements in an interventional rehabilitation context has not been attempted. We seek to determine whether brief, temporally precise neurostimulation of this network could help shape and reinforce the execution of targeted movements during rehabilitation, boosting recovery. To this end, we will develop and test the effectiveness of a neuroprosthesis where electrical deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the lateral hypothalamus (a major structure of the reward network) is delivered contingently with the execution of specific limb movements of intact and spinal-injured rats in clinically-relevant motor tasks.

Design improvement of novel textile garment technology

In this project, we focus on a composite wearable system that combines a kirigami pattern with fabrics with the goal of realizing a wearable garment that can morph and conform to human body parts. Preliminary results have shown challenges on the fronts of manufacturing and attainable performance, i.e. the integration of the textiles and the accomplishment of the desired morphing capacity. The goal of this project is to solve the problems by resorting to a combined approach of computational analysis, structural optimization and manufacturing of proof-of-concept prototypes.

Modeling Impacts of Cyberattacks on Financial Assets Valuation

This research aims to create a platform that can predict the impacts of cyberattacks on various financial assets, such as bonds, stocks, and a company’s credit risk. The focus is on the impacts of cyberattacks on the prices of financial assets listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE). Still, the prediction models and tools developed should also be applicable to assets listed in other comparable markets. The project has four main objectives: understanding the relationship between the type, impact, and severity of cyberattacks and trading activities; modelling the behaviour of liquidity providers in response to major cyberattack news; modelling the longterm impacts of cyberattacks on companies’ credit risk; and devising an ensemble of deep learning agents to predict the price movement of companies’ stocks, bonds and offer real-time trading signals. This research makes significant contributions to machine learning-based modelling of the effects of rare events on financial asset pricing, specifically focusing on the short and long-term impacts of cybersecurity attacks.

Mesure du comportement en fatigue de métaux d’apport de haute résistance pour la réparation in-situ de fissures sur les roues de turbines hydrauliques

Les roues de turbines hydrauliques au nombre de 350 dans le parc de production d’Hydro-Québec fournissent la quasi-totalité de la puissance électrique disponible au Québec. Elles sont donc des composantes stratégiques. l
Conçues pour une vie utile de 70 ans, elles dépassent rarement le cap des 15 ans sans subir à répétition des réparations suite à l’apparition de fissures de fatigue, sans compter les dommages occasionnés par les mécanismes d’érosion de cavitation.
Les fissures de fatigue dans les aubes de turbines sont particulièrement pernicieuses car elles sont souvent difficiles à détecter et peuvent se communiquer à la couronne et à la ceinture de la roue lorsqu’elles ne sont pas réparées dès leur apparition.
Les roues de turbines comportent trois sections, la couronne, l’aubage et la ceinture. Ces sections sont assemblées en usine en soudant les aubes à la couronne et à la ceinture. Les fissures se produisent en service dans les joints soudés. La réparation en place ne peut être effectuée avec le même métal d’apport utilisé en usine. Il y a un enjeu sur les plans intégrité structurale et sécurité. Il faut avoir recours à des aciers d’un autre type.

Smart waste management app: efficient waste separation from visual footprints – Smart waste classification framework

Plastic has become ubiquitous in our daily lives, finding its way into a wide variety of products and applications. However, the extensive use of plastic, coupled with improper disposal and inadequate recycling practices, has significant economic and environmental consequences, posing a severe threat to our planet.
In Canada alone, a staggering 3 million tons of plastic waste are generated annually, with only 9% of that waste being recycled and a staggering 91% ending up in landfills. This alarming statistic highlights the inadequacy of current recycling policies, underscoring the need for smart, innovative solutions and technologies to address this critical issue.
To tackle this challenge, we propose the development of a smart waste management app that will enhance the efficiency of waste separation at the consumer level. By leveraging the power of technology, this app will empower consumers to make informed decisions about how they dispose of their waste and encourage them to adopt more sustainable habits
Through the use of camera and machine learning algorithms, the app will be able to identify and sort different types of waste, ensuring that materials are appropriately separated for recycling or other forms of disposal. By providing users with real-time feedback on their waste disposal practices and the environmental impact of their actions, the app will promote greater awareness and accountability, ultimately leading to more sustainable outcomes.

Backyard Paradise

SunCo Sunspaces was founded in 1999 by three individuals familiar with the sunroom industry in Manitoba who wanted to bring back traditional values. We currently have our main sales dealership entitled Backyard Paradise by SunCo and 3 other dealerships across Manitoba and western Ontario. SunCo currently employs 19 employees and subtrades on a regular basis. SunCo Sunspaces developed a custom CRM platform that was utilized while in development until 2014. In 2014 CRM platforms like Salesforce and SuiteCRM developed to a point where they were viable options to continuing our proprietary software development. However, after 8 years of using Salesforce as a CRM, it has been determined that it’s limitations and lack of proper support, hinders project management, information transfer, and profitability. Therefore, it has been determined to create a fresh, new custom CRM developed to help our business grow to the next level.
The vision of this project is to create a custom CRM and inventory management system that are integrated with one another to facilitate the ease of use between the system. This would allow for easy access to data analytics and operations to accelerate innovation and business decisions. The custom solution will allow ease of information entry and retrieval in an industry specific format. It will manage sales leads and projects including scheduling and project management. The solution will allow bridge programming to other software utilized in our environment such as QuickBooks and Revit.
