Development and validation of analysis tools and interfaces for automated rehabilitation systems

Automated physiotherapy motion tracking system may improve clinical outcomes by providing subjective measures and continuous monitoring. A study into different metrics that PTs may find useful for diagnosis and a user interface study assessing the current usability of the Automated Rehabilitation System, a system being developed by Cardon rehabilitation, will be conducted. A method to model the central nervous system using controls will be investigated to see if fatigue can be detected, which is a useful metric to provide both patients and physiotherapists. These two projects will significantly improve the effectiveness and usefulness of the Rehabilitation System.

Evaluation of additive manufacturing technology for the fabrication of wind-tunnel model parts featuring static pressure channels

The objective of the proposed project is to evaluate the use of additive manufacturing technology for the fabrication of wind-tunnel model parts featuring static pressure channels. The long-term aim of this research to devise an innovative manufacturing process that reduces the cost and lead time required to fabricate aerodynamic wind-tunnel models. The suggested methodology is to test the transient response time of pressure channels manufactured with additive technology and to compare it with those manufactured using classical machining. The results obtained through this project will help the industrial partner devise a manufacturing process for wind-tunnel model parts used, among others, at the NRC 1.5m Blow-down wind tunnel.

Development of a Gateway Embedded System for Smart Lighting Control

There is a growing demand to conserve energy at the load side using smart lighting systems in the buildings, warehouses, and other facilities. In a smart lighting system each of the electrical devices is regarded as a wireless node capable of communicating with other nodes through an available wireless technology. The proposed R&D activity targets at developing a gateway device which is an important component of a Bluetooth enabled lighting system which uses the BLE technology for internetwork communication between different nodes. Bluetooth v4.0 or Bluetooth low energy (BLE) wireless technology is a newly introduced technology with much lower power consumption compared to the devices equipped with standard Bluetooth technology. The low power low cost BLE enabled devices creates a new opportunity to reduce the power consumption of the wireless nodes in smart lighting systems.

Création d’une application mobile visant le développement des habiletés perceptives et productives musicales des enfants

Ce projet vise à encourager le développement des habiletés musicales des enfants de 3 à 6 ans par l’entremise de la technologie. Le recours à une application mobile pour bonifier les habiletés perceptives et productives musicales s’avère une avenue très intéressante à considérer par les parents et les éducateurs. Le recours aux nouvelles technologies éducatives visent la stimulation directe de l’audition, de la vision et de la praxie au cours de la petite enfance. À partir d’extraits musicaux de la collection Analekta nous viserons un apprentissage actif de la musique : une façon concrète d’éveiller les enfants à cet art.

Sustaining our forests in southwestern Alberta

This MITACS internship will support Julie Fortin, an MSc student whose focus is on developing new techniques for analyzing oblique historical mountain survey images based on the world’s largest systematic collection of historical mountain survey images, the Mountain Legacy Project. Her research is driven by questions about shifts in biodiversity over time, built atop biodiversity data and models developed by Dr. Jason Fisher and his colleagues and crews with Alberta Innovates for Willmore Wilderness. While removed from the landscapes of southwestern Alberta, in which a broader research initiative funding the Foothills Reearch Institute is supporting, the research questions and processes are analogous, and Ms. Fortin’s research will advance an understanding of how best to gain leverage for understanding disturbance ecology from a unique historical dataset of historical survey images.
