The proposed work is an application of artificial intelligence and medical imaging. When positioning a dog to have an X-ray image taken of its paw, a neural network trained in canine anatomy can be configured to inform radiologists if the patient’s paw is improperly placed or even drive motorized hardware to automatically center the patient’s […]

Membrane based energy recovery ventilation (ERV) is now a key component of most energy efficient modern buildings. ERVs improve the indoor air quality of buildings through ventilation and reduce the energy cost of ventilation by using building exhaust air to pre-condition fresh building supply air. In cooling conditions heat and humidity are removed from the […]
