New approaches in training for in situ visualization of ionizing radiation measurements
(2022-08-01)
Surveying an environment for sources of ionizing radiation requires the use of measurement tools and skills developed from training in order to understand and analyze measurements. Recent advances in technology allow for ...
Design of dust-filtering algorithms for LiDAR sensors in off-road vehicles using the AI and non-AI methods
(2022-08-01)
The performance of Lidar sensors degrades in the presence of dust. These particles can impact sensor measurements and cause robot perception algorithms to misinterpret data. This thesis proposes two distinct dust filtering ...
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 supervised machine learning-based framework to detect low-level fault injections in software systems
(2022-08-01)
Fault injection attacks inject faults into system components, inducing abnormal software behavior. Software vulnerability analysis cannot prevent new attack vectors without software modifications. Attack detection methods ...
Design and development of an autonomous flying excavator platform using a drone
(2022-09-01)
In this research, a drone-based excavation platform prototype is presented with the primary goals of balancing stability during excavation, sensing, and excavating the soil pile autonomously without human intervention. ...
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 ...
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. ...
