Freewalker: Développement et évaluation d’un dispositif pour favoriser la marche et l’activité physique chez des patients hospitalisés et sous oxygénothérapie

L’importance de la marche dans le rétablissement des patients et les dangers de rester au lit pour les patients sont décrits depuis longtemps (Asher, 1947). Cependant, il a été constaté que les patients restent le plus souvent sédentaires au cours de leur hospitalisation avec un temps de marche quotidien moyen de 7 minutes (Pitta, Troosters, […]

Modeling of wall-pressure fluctuations induced by pressure gradient turbulent boundary layer

The wall-pressure fluctuations induced by turbulent boundary layers (TBL) can be an important source of noise and vibration in different applications. These fluctuations yield the trailing-edge noise, dominant source of wind turbine or marine propeller noise, and others. A correct modeling of the generated wall-pressure fluctuations is the first issue in analyzing this phenomenon. The […]

Parallelization of an Industrial Optimization Application

Acculogic develops state-of-the-art testers for short-batch electronic circuit boards (ECBs). The order in which the required tests are performed affects the amount of shuttle and probe movements required between the tests, and this affects the overall efficiency of the test procedure. Unique characteristics of the problem (e.g. the ability to move one set of probes […]
