Manipulator’s configuration design, excavation path generation, and underground object detection for an autonomous electric excavator
(2022-12-01)
Construction is an industrial sector that requires high labor costs and is exposed to harsh and hazardous environmental conditions. As a solution to these problems, an autonomous excavator is expected in high demand. To ...
Li-ion battery electrode state of charge and degradation monitoring using battery casing as the reference electrode
(2022-08-01)
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) internal state such as state of charge (SOC), electrode capacity, and available lithium-ion monitoring is helpful for effective battery degradation monitoring. Monitoring these internal parameters ...
Deep transfer-learning based lithium-ion battery fault diagnosis
(2022-08-01)
Fault detection in lithium-ion batteries (LiB) is paramount to ensuring the long life and proper functioning of the batteries. To that end, this thesis proposes a combined fault diagnosis framework that leverages voltage ...
A real-time 12-lead electrocardiogram remote patient monitoring and analytics framework
(2022-10-01)
This work presents XBeats: A machine learning-based framework for real-time electrocardiogram monitoring and analysis that uses edge computing and data analytics for early anomaly detection. The framework encompasses a ...
Incremental learning algorithm for anomaly detection applied to computed tomography scans in nuclear industry
(2022-12-01)
During routine nuclear power plant (NPP) inspection, each maintenance tool is inspected manually before and after use on a nuclear reactor. This could result in long inspection duration (up to months), time, and resource ...
Lateral stability analysis and MPC tracking control for articulated heavy vehicles
(2022-10-01)
Articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) exhibit poor maneuverability during curved-path negotiations and low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers, which may lead to unstable motion modes, e.g., trailer-sway and ...
Improving cold climate performance of heat pumps using market-available systems
(2022-10-01)
Air source heat pumps are an excellent electric alternative to fossil fuel based heating systems for reducing residential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but common mild climate systems suffer significant performance losses ...
Microreactor for remote Canadian communities
(2022-11-01)
Remote Canadian communities rely on diesel generators for their electricity needs. Providing such generators with fuel year-round presents challenges because of inclement weather and long transportation distances involved. ...
Design and analysis of multiple input non-isolated DC-DC converter for fast charging station of electric vehicles
(2022-08-01)
In the last decade, multi-input DC-DC converters have been studied in various research areas related to plug-in vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, and renewable energy applications. They have several advantages over ...
Development of a point-kinetics simulator for molten-salt reactors
(2022-08-01)
Molten-salt-fueled reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors that use a mixture of fissile material and molten fluoride salts as both fuel and primary coolant. Such reactors, which can operate at low pressure and high ...
