This project will develop a loss of balance detection system to enhance the iMD Research Vital Zenzer, which monitors vital user biometrics. Accelerometer signals from both waist and wrist-worn body locations will be analyzed to obtain key inputs for Machine Learning and AI algorithms. Such algorithms will be developed to adapt to changing user conditions […]

Enabling Analog Artificial Intelligence by the systematic generation of Analog Neural Networks from well-known Artificial Intelligence software tools. The circuits and methodologies developed here enable “AI at the Edge” meaning local, low power, analog AI that provides, for example, medical devices that analyse signals to asses the need for intervention; voice recognition devices that do […]

Infrared thermography represents an attractive solution in the field of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) by overcoming some drawbacks of the traditional surveys. However, the labor and the amount of data to be analyzed, stored, and communicated are extensive when inspections are scaled to a large network of structures. In addition, the information about the damages is […]

The current project aims to design and optimize the cryogenic CO2 capture process in terms of CO2 removal efficiency and energy requirement. The serious concern of global warming due to increasing CO2 emission has urged policymakers to employ various CO2 capture methods. Note that among different CO2 capture methods, the cryogenic capture is a favorable […]

Scientists use hydrophones (underwater microphones) to listen and record to ocean sounds from marine wildlife as well as ship noise. To produce trusted results, hydrophones must be calibrated using tanks. This is done by checking the hydrophone measurements against reference sounds. Scientists can easily calibrate hydrophones for sounds that are very high pitch and very […]

With the development of imaging technology, camera trapping becomes one of the best ways to record the presence and activities of large mammals in a given area. The approach to monitoring the animals can assist people in the community with decision making about preserving biodiversity. In the past, experts analyzed such images manually, which required […]

Using simplified language understandable to a layperson; provide a general, one-paragraph description of the proposed research project to be undertaken by the intern(s) as well as the expected benefit to the partner organization. (100 – 150 words) A series of laboratory tests and field trials will be carried out to validate the capability and performance […]

This project will engage seniors, family members, and care staff, a total of 53 participants in a long-term care home to adopt a new technolopgydevice, Tochie for familyconnection. Participants will use the assistive audio speakers named Tochie over one month. Ongoing support and assistance will be provided to all participants during the one month to […]

The ability to revert human cells back into a stem cell state, and then reprogram them into new cell fates has unlocked promise for future regenerative therapies. However, we still do not fully understand this reprogramming process and the interaction of proteins that make this happen. Mass spectrometry (or MS; a common technique to study […]

Le développement de modèles sur le comportement humain est extrêmement complexe en raison, entre autres, de la difficulté à exprimer certaines connaissances acquises par l’expérience. Cognitive Shadow est un outil capable de capturer ces connaissances pour élaborer des modèles à travers de l’observation de la prise de décision des experts sans avoir à exprimer leurs […]

In May 2021, the total market capitalization of digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) exceeded $2.4 Trillion (USD), tripling in the past 3 years. Yet, digital assets are widely misunderstood even by experienced investors, primarily because the technologies empowering digital assets are new and are rapidly evolving. Hence, scientific approach to understanding […]
