Linear regression model for continuous non-invasive blood pressure estimation for an ICU setting
(2021-11-01)
Continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring in critically ill patients is crucially important for clinicians. The gold standard intra-arterial method is complicated and contraindicated. Current pulse transit time (PTT)-based ...
Semi-direct visual SLAM for stereo cameras: system design and validation
(2021-11-01)
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) requires an autonomous vehicle in an unknown environment to learn about the environment, generates a map and localize itself at the same time. To solve this problem, various ...

(2021-08-01)
Data management is defined as obtaining, processing, safeguarding, and storing information about an organization to aid in making better business decisions for the firm. With the proliferation of smart devices, the amount ...
Analytical and experimental study of the effect of cutting tool microgeometry on the impact resistance of milling tools
(2021-01-01)
This thesis conducted a two-part investigation into the ability of a milling tool cutting insert to resist the impacts that occur during the milling process, with respect to the cutting edge microgeometry. The first part ...
Tunable compact microwave multiplexers based on substrate integrated waveguide
(2021-05-01)
Microwave multiplexers and diplexers are widely used in communication systems. This thesis presents a compact low-profile hybrid-coupled filter module (HCFM) implemented using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). Compared ...
Comparison of the force and torque transfer for different cam profiles
(2021-09-01)
This study presents static load and torque distribution measurements in groove cams for sinusoidal and cycloidal cam profiles. In this thesis, two different designs and apparatuses were developed and built for the static ...
Enhancement of lateral stability for a multi-wheeled combat vehicle using various control strategies
(2021-08-01)
This thesis investigates various active chassis control strategies for multi-wheeled combat vehicle to enhance its lateral stability at limit handling. The proposed control strategies are Active All- Wheel Steering (AWS), ...
A CFD analysis of the pressure drop through misaligned Stirling engine regenerators
(2021-04-01)
Experiments were conducted to discover the average misalignment in wire mesh regenerators, and it was found that regardless of the intended stacking arrangement, the average misalignment was 44% to 49%. A 3-dimensional CFD ...
Development of a model to investigate the sustainability of Ontario’s future electricity supply through a dual life cycle lens
(2021-10-01)
Since the turn of the century, greenhouse gas emissions and their climate related impacts have been studied with increased vigor. A tool that has gained popularity in supporting the reduction of emissions is life cycle ...
